The PokerStars Caribbean Adventure just wrapped up in the Bahamas.  It was a little colder than usual due to the freeze that has been creeping down the western hemisphere (Dennis Quaid would have you believe it was caused by Global Warming).  It's hard to complain when you're surrounded by palm trees in January, so I won't.  It was a nice change from the snowy Northeast.

The main event was bigger than ever, and I had an extremely soft table on day 1.  Unfortunately, I couldn't get anything going and ended the day with less than I started.  Day 2 started out well when I doubled myself back into contention, but ended a short time later.  I turned my attention to the 5k, where I played better than I have in a while.  I couldn't mount a run on day 2, and ended up finishing short of the final table in 12^th.  The field started with 225 people however, so I made a little money for my efforts.

I then proceeded to come in 5^th in the 1k 8 Game Mix tournament when they paid 4, and 17^th in the 5k 6 max tournament when they paid 12.  The trip was about breakeven, but I'm happy with my play and have a newly found focus on my tournament game that I'm looking to parlay into some strong finishes in the early part of this year.

For now, I'm heading to upstate NY to a town called Ruedaville where apparently the internet hasn't quite reached.  I'm looking forward to snowmobiling, shooting a few guns, snowboarding, and snowboarding off the back of a snowmobile with a wakeboard rope.  I'll be in Biloxi, Mississippi next week for the WPT there if I don't kill myself.
