The World Series of Poker final table is finally underway… I’ve got a bit of money on Eric Buchman who starts the day second in chips…
I’m guessing this thing won’t be down to two until early tomorrow morning.

For $1… SHOOT ME!

I played in the Daily Dollar last night. No, I have no idea what possessed me to do that… Nevertheless…
8,300+ runners started at 7:15pm… without boring you with details, 6 hours later we were down to 70. I spent virtually the entire tournament with a stack 2x to 2.5x average (and at times better than [...]
A Nice Six-Week Run at the Virtual Tables

A couple of months ago I decided to start taking poker a little more seriously again. I mean, I’m never going to play the volume I’d like, but I wanted to at least concentrate on playing well when I did play. I bought PT3, started posting a few more hands and participating in poker threads [...]
RAZZed at the Final Table

Brag: Final table in my 2nd ever Razz tournament (1st one was a mistake)
Beat: Very first hand of final table got it all in 345 vs. A37 and got outdrawn
It was only 70 players, paying the final table.
The sucky part was I was 2nd in chips when we got down to 14-15 and [...]
Oh Come On, ONE TIME?!?!?!?

Dammit. Finished 2nd last night in a Omaha Hi/Lo tournament. 152 runners, $5 buy-in, so just $150+ or so, but not the point.
I got heads-up against this guy at about a 2-to-1 chip disadvantage and in 3 of the first 7-8 hands he rivered a lo to split what otherwise would’ve been a scoop for me. Horribly [...]

(Compilation of posts on 67 about Sky’s entry into WSOP Circuit Event #4: Ladies Only)
5:55 p.m.
My wife and her friend, Karyn, drove down to Hammond today to play in Event #4 (Ladies Only) and amazingly ended up being seated at the SAME TABLE.
She called me at 2:45pm (event started at 3:00pm CT) and told me [...]

Okay, this is going to be a little long, I’m going to divide stories in colors so people can glance at various stories, etc…
We are LIVE from the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, IN where they’re expecting (and received) a record number of participants for a non-Main Event circuit event. My friend Mike (a.k.a. Misterrubik) and [...]
Well, that was out of the blue! (Double final table on Full Tilt)

Today was essentially a workday at home (even though it’s technically my day off) during which I didn’t put my Blackberry down for about a five hour stretch in the morning/early afternoon. At about 2:00pm I decided to take a break and play a little online poker. I fired up a 90-man and then, for [...]
Bronze… No Bust!
Posted in Poker, Uncategorized, tagged Bronze Ironman, Full Tilt on August 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday I officially reached Bronze Ironman status at Full Tilt… more importantly it was a profitable endeavour (despite my horrific MTT play) capped off by my final night in which I earned 1 1/2 buy-ins, including the beauty below… I was starting to get fearful that I wasn’t going to get any action on my BB [...]
Tourney Woes
Posted in Poker on August 17, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Just past the half-way point in August and I’m having a bizarre, bizarre month. I’m approaching the $200 mark in cash profits… and approaching the $100 mark in money given back via MTT buy-ins. I now have a remarkable, inconceivable ONE cash in 24 MTTs this month. It’s baffling. And, like any good poker player would, [...]
