3rd Place in Daily Double A!

Wed night was the biggest boost to the bankroll so far in 2008. I managed to both play well, and get good cards @ the right time, placing 3rd of 1077 in Daily Double A for $883.14. This was actually my largest cash since coming in 2nd of 319 in a $20 + 2 on FTP way back on May 26th, 2006.

In B I finished 347 of 982.

This was my favorite hand of DD A:

Memorable quotes for
"The Office"
Booze Cruise (2006)

Jim Halpert: Kevin, do you have any ideas where I should go on my vacation?
Kevin: You should go to hedonism.
Jim Halpert: Hedonism? What's that?
Kevin: I heard it's like Club Med, but everything is naked!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Michael Scott: In an office, manager ranks higher than captain. On a boat, who knows? It's nebulous.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dwight Schrute: Don't worry Michael, I'm taking us to shore!
Michael Scott: It's a fake wheel, dummy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Michael Scott: I see the sales department as a furnace.
Phyllis: A furnace?
Jim Halpert: How old is this ship?
Pam Beesley: How about the anchor?
Phyllis: What does the furnace do?
Michael Scott: Let's not get hung up about the furnace, it's just, I see the sales department are down there, they are in the engine room, and they are shoveling coal into the furnace, right? I mean, who saw the movie Titanic? They were very important in the movie Titanic. Who saw it? Show of hands.
Jim Halpert: Not really sure what movie you're talking about. Are you sure you got the title right?
Michael Scott: Titanic.
Pam Beesley: I think you're thinking of "The Hunt for Red October."

Things that make you go hmmmmm............
