Why the late start?

I am sitting over here in my room at Commerce waiting for it to be time for day two of the Legends to start. I don't know why the LA casinos always start the tournaments late. Bike starts at two and Commerce at three. Even worse than that is when you go back east to Borgata and they start...

Getting to know the FullTilt final tablers.

Well its been a month now and time to get back to it. Yesterday was my first day doing anything poker related, other than playing on FullTilt since the Bellagio Cup. I met the three players from the WSOP final nine who will be representing FullTilt. I had a short conversation with each that was...

Chimps go to Washington

Well I went out of the Bellagio Cup on a a bad call. Paid off David Phams set of dueces with top pair of Jacks, drawing almost dead. I am now going into a month of not playing other than at home on internet. I will be doing some work on the Jewelry line and going up to Washington State to visit a...

Bellagio's "take a free shot" rule

I am still alive in the Bellagio Cup. It has been a nice comfortably paced tournament in which I didn't have to panic even after finishing day one with less than starting chips. I am sitting on about an average stack now but looks like the structure is going to start really speeding up, which...

Dealers that don't count

I just found out the Belagio Cup has three starting days. Man, more decisions! I will go down tomorrow and scope it out, I think I will play tommorow as well. I don't foresee that many amatures comming back on the weekend, so not that much reason too wait around. May just depend on how I...

Post WSOP blues

Well the WSOP is over for me. I went out with 3 minutes left in the first day. I had my stack cut in half about 15 minutes into the tournament. A player raised under the gun and I called with 3-5 of diamonds. I flopped a straight flush draw and made the flush on the turn. Problem was the other...

Second guessing and going for the 4th

I went down tonight (July 3rd) to sign up for Day 1D. Even walking up to the window handing the chips only to find out that they weren't taking registration for that day at this time. Of course I know this easy to cure I could go talk to someone or just wait till later. This got me thinking,...

The best day to play the Main Event

I am really torturing myself over what day to play the main event. Getting a good starting table is such a big part of the luck involved in tournaments, but even more so in the main event where most of the tables will be soft and to somehow screw up and sign up at a time where you are more likely...

Bigger and softer

The Pot Limit Omaha World Championship had quite a few more entries than I expected, and it seemed like most of the new faces were very looses and aggressive, which is not a style I recomend. Unfortunately I was very card dead the whole day and the blinds finally forced me to get my last 25k...

Short but tough

Well today is the event I have had my best results in, the Pot Limit Omaha World Championship. It will be a short but very tough field, with very few players that wouldn't be counted as "pro's". Actually though, the weakest players in this field may be some of the well known No...
