Hey guys,

I know it’s been awhile since my last entry, just not a lot to report.

I haven’t been playing too much poker. Today was the first day I played tournaments in about 10 days. Although on Saturday I “goofed around” with a friend and played 1/2NL HU and ended up winning 5 buyins off of him ($1k). Then decided to play “pokerts” in a $2k HU SNG and took that down. Besides that, today was the first day I played tournaments in awhile.

I ran into some pretty tough luck in the bigger tournaments. I took 13th in the $100r for $1,880 (1st = $40k). Then lost a race and was busto in the Super Tuesday ($1k buy-in) pretty quickly with AK < QQ AIPF.

Stars has these new 4-max 10min level tournaments, which I really like. I enjoy turbo’s and playing 4-max takes a lot more skill than full ring. At any rate, I cashed in both the $80+8 buyin one (14th for $360), then took 3rd in the $50+5 one for $1.7k.

Overall I’m pretty satisfied with my play, and even better than the days profit (a whopping $1k), I recorded the last hour of the $50+5 4-max tournament live for PokerVT. I was really hoping I could’ve taken it down, just cause having an MTT win recorded live would be badass, but in the end I took 3rd….but not before recording some pretty good poker. I think it was likely the best video I’ve made so far - lots of decisions playing shorthanded, and I’m pretty sure that the viewers will appreciate the fact it was recorded live, not done on a replayer.

I suppose that’s all for now. In less than a week I’ll be on a plane to Vegas to film for PokerVT - should be a good time.
