Bankroll update.

I made a quilt over the holidays. I still have to back it and sew it up. That'll make a nice weekend project.

I've been playing much poker again. I missed the game, but it's taking too much of my time.

• I went up to The Lodge Casino this weekend, I came out 50 dollars ahead but spend 12 hours on the tables. My wife and I are thinking of going up there this weekend.
  
• I also started playing on Full Tilt Poker. I only have 3 cent in my account, but I have a lot of FTP points. My strategy is to play freerolls, FTP point tournaments and sit and go's until I have a bank roll again.
• On Pokerstars, My bankroll was down to about 5 dollars, but I've built it up to $13 on 2/4 cent Limit Hold'em and Limited Hi-Lo Omaha. I won't play No-Limit Ring games until I can put in only 5% of my bank roll on there. (cf Chris Ferguson strategy). I found a 10 cent NL tournament with 360 folks there and got pretty deep.

Current bank roll
Full Tilt Poker: $0.03
Pokerstars: $13.18
Live: $44.00

Random Thoughts

What have we been eating?

I've been thinking a lot about what we eat. I've picked up The Paleo Diet book and I've been reading about what Fats to eat and what not to eat. I'm really interested in what we eat.

When I went on vacation, I visited the graveyard that my father, his brothers and my grandfather were buried in. My father and his brothers died when they were in their Forties and Fifties. My grandfather died when he was sixty. I wonder if it was because of my father and uncles diet and the fact that they smoked. I've been reading on what we eat in this country and how to improve my health. I would like to limit my chance of dying by choosing better food.

I think the low carb/high fat diet will work. The Paleo Diet and similar diets are interesting because they limit processed foods, beans, potatoes, grains and beans. Which make no sense to me. The carbs I get but beans. Why not?

I also believe in the 85/15 rule. 85 percent of the time, I need to eat right but the other 15% is alright.

What would I do if I won the lottery?

I play the Colorado Lottery and Powerball every week. I think this helps me sleep at night because I daydream about winning the lottery and what I would do. My dream is to pay off the house, make sure the kids are provided for, buy a house in Boulder or Stapleton and just do volunteer work. I can't sleep sometimes, I unless I think of this.

What would I do started winning in poker?

I wish.
