Well, it’s officially June. The weather’s starting to get a bit nicer here in Ohio, which is always nice.
I think it’s been about 2 weeks sin (more)
So, I broke my own record and bustoed the 1500 pot limit event (that I decided to play at the last minute) on the...fifth hand or so.
The hand: Wi (more)
So I skipped event 2 and played online this weekend with little success. The only thing I seem to be winning at online lately is PLO strangely enough. (more)
[b]Catching Up[/b]
Sorry I haven't blogged in a while, I know some of you enjoyed my road to getting a dealing job. Now that I have it I am work (more)
Today was the $1K+rebuys. I ended up in for the "minimum" of $4K and never really had a ton of chips. I had one mini-rush where I picked up AK on back (more)
The following takes places the 2nd or 3rd hand of the final table of the Cake 30r $20k guaranteed. If I win this hand I have a sizeable chip lead and (more)

I spent a day at Winstar casino this week and although it wasn't a terribly profitable trip I was really impressed by the poker room. First of all th (more)
...but 0 for 2 on making the second break. I'm working on that, though!
The major interesting hand was, once again, the fifth of the day. With 4K c (more)
Last entry, we left off with me accidentally turning top two pair into a bluff. Yesterday, I followed up on that with this hand about 45 minutes into (more)
So I'm driving down I-45 today from Dallas to Houston and decide to stop at McD's in Madisonville to try one of their new "Southern Style" chicken san (more)
Final Table at FullTilt and two friends deep in World Series event by SluggerWV Posted June 7th, 2008
I haven't been able to play as many non-satellite tournaments for the past month or two. I have never had a lot of success at FullTilt even though I (more)
No luck in the $5K shootout. My table wasn't that bad though it was certainly tougher than most. I was the first eliminated. I got off to a good start (more)
Still not an actual Day 2, though. Quick update because it's late: today's event went better than the ones before it and I'll post some hands later, b (more)
Today was a $2500 NL event and I busted before the first break again. One interesting hand:

It has been a while since my last update, but not a lot has changed in the world of Mr Taterhead. The last time I wrote I mentioned that I was going (more)
Well Monday was a $1500 Shootout event. The $1500 events only give you 3K starting chips (all events have twice the buy-in starting chip bank) so if y (more)
Another short update...and I mean that pretty much literally. As I was getting out of a chair to go sign up for an event this morning, my back decided (more)
Today was an up and down day. I ran really good off the start but then messed up some hands at the end to lose a lot of my chips. Early on I flopped t (more)
