Something a lot of us don't do in NL that we probably should Posted June 3rd, 2007
I had a bunch of interesting hands this weekend, but one ultimately totally inconsequential one stood out. In the Absolute 150K, with effective 5K sta (more)
1 for 1 so far Posted June 7th, 2007
Short update since I just got back from a long day: I'm in the money at my first WSOP event of '07, the 2K NL (Event #10.) 125 of 1500-odd people rema (more)
Tourney summary - Event #10 ($2,000 NL) Posted June 8th, 2007
Final tally - 63'rd/15xx for (40% of - I'm fully backed) $8,359.
I started out at a pretty decent table and quickly chipped up to 5500 from the st (more)
Quick update Posted June 9th, 2007
Not much happened today. I went to the Venetian to play their 1K deep stack event (instead of the WSOP 5K pot limit event, which is supposedly harder (more)
June 9'th - another quick update Posted June 10th, 2007
Today, unfortunately, was pretty much a wash. I busted out of the main $1500 event fairly early with AQ against AA on an ace high flop (yuck), then we (more)
First impressions for this week Posted June 10th, 2007
Unfortunately, I'm continuing to run very bad (0 for 3 big 70/30's in just one Sunday tournament is impressive, honestly, as is running Ax into AA 4 t (more)
15 or so straight hours of poker Posted June 12th, 2007
Most of those hours, unfortunately, were not in the $2500, as I busted out of that at the 150/300/25 level. My actual bustout hand was fairly uneventf (more)
So I get to the shootout table, and there's Johnny Chan Posted June 12th, 2007
Also, I got no pocket pairs, AK's or AQ's in 90 minutes. Busto! Meh, there's always the limit shootout next month.
The good news is, other than a (more)
Sleep deprivation, or the lack thereof Posted June 15th, 2007
The good thing about being a poker player is the ability to set your own hours. A lot of people in and around poker have written a lot of things about (more)
I guess I'm running better Posted June 17th, 2007
Well, when it comes to sats, anyway. I didn't get anywhere in either of the last two big tournaments - once due to a bad bluff on my part, once due to (more)
Made it to day 2 Posted June 18th, 2007
I've got 7100 chips with ~134 people left, right around the average. I was completely controlling my first table for a while before going card dead, s (more)
Razz is fun when you don't get coolered Posted June 18th, 2007
It sucks when you do, though. 0 for 3 in big pots with a medium stack/winning one pot overall will do that. I didn't play particularly well, but there (more)
Another day off Posted June 20th, 2007
Well, mostly. I had time to chop another satellite in between sweating Nath and a couple of other people. The 525's are getting a bit harder as the WS (more)
Dealmaking Posted June 21st, 2007
It turns out I had just enough time to go to the Rio and play one satellite, which I won outright. I'd asked for a chop twice - once at 100/200 when I (more)
Just moved Posted June 23rd, 2007
Nothing going on the last two days (other than me lasting exactly two hours before losing a big coinflip in the last 1500) since I needed to move into (more)
I'm still running bad Posted June 25th, 2007
...but my roommate, Matt, just won the 1K Sunday Million for 315K while playing and running very well. Ship 3K for getting him the chiplead while he w (more)
Tournament summary - 1500 NL Posted June 26th, 2007
There's too much stuff for me to put into one post, so I'll just start off with the trip report from Saturday's 1500.
Most of us coming from the SA (more)
Sunday/Monday Posted June 27th, 2007
I was going to do a full update of these two days, as well, but as it turns out, I actually played a full day today so that will have to go on the bac (more)
Tuesday Posted June 27th, 2007
Today's also known as "the day I played the best hand of my live poker career and have nothing to show for it". Sigh.
There won't be any good tour (more)
Thursday 5K 6 max report Posted June 29th, 2007
Unfortunately, my PC ate the first version of this, so, a quick recap: after not playing yesterday, I decided to play the 5K 6max today. I got from 10 (more)
