Out of the 2008 WSOP Main Event

Out with 10 minutes left in the night. I had my back to the wall all day. I battled my ass off though, so I'm proud of that. The bustout hand was pretty remarkable, and I'll remember it for the rest of my life. I had about 27000 with the average at 38000ish. This good online player named...

About to Play WSOP Main Event

In fifty minutes I will be playing the WSOP main event. From a financial standpoint, this is the poker tournament all of us want to win more than any other. To do so I'll need all the ingredients. I'll need to avoid the landmines, run like God, play perfectly and take home the like 7...

Out of Event #53 + WSOP Prelim Wrap Up

Out of the LHE shootout in fifth at my table. I was at a table with CiCi Mortensen, a good young Norwegian named Simon, a good Californian named Joe, and six fish. I ran pretty horrid all day but actually gave myself some chances because I made some razor thin value bets and was able to pick up...

Out of Event #51, Event #52

I busted two tournaments today within a 20 minute span. Nothing at all interesting happened in the NLHE tournament. I basically nitted it up, had to leave for an orbit to go play the HORSE and eventually shoved 9BB from the HJ in the fourth hour with 33 into AK and the board came Kxxxx. I arrived...

Limped into Day 2 of Event #51

I am on to day 2 of the 1500 dollar HORSE event with, lol, 1100 chips. The starting stack was 3000, and we'll be playing 6/1200 LHE when we return. I'll have less than one bet. I had like 4 bets but got crippled in a stud pot against Steve Diano late in the night. Had a really good time...

Out of Event #49

I busted yesterday from the 1500 dollar NLHE tournaments in the waning (sp?) minutes of level 4. Early on I double through with 66 vs KJ on J65 then I was fortunate when I shoved from the button into two blinds' small stacks with Ac7s and sucked out on red queens when the board ran spade...

Out of Event #46 in 28th Place

I'm out in 28th. It was a rollercoaster day. I don't think I'll detail the hands of this one because I'm too lazy. The tournament was a lot of fun. I earned 20500 for my finish, a far cry from the 900 thousand for first. SS

On to Day 2 of Event #46

I've made it through to day 2 of the 5000 dollar 6 handed NLHE tournament. We are not yet in the money as 95 or so players remain and only 78 will get paid. I have 145400 chips and the average is somewhere in the neighborhood of 83000. First place in this event is a life changing 911 thousand...

Out of Event #43 in 25th Place

It wasn't meant to be. I busted in the middle of the fourth level of day 2 in 25th place. I received a less than satisfying 5600 dollars for my two days of work. I came into the day and just kind of nitted it up early. I was at what I guess would be considered a tough PLO8 table with Erik...

In the Money, On to Day 2 of Event #43

I'm in the money and on to day 2, I believe, as chipleader in the 1500 dollar PLO8 tournament. I have 86900 and the average is like 31000 with 69 players left. This is my first ever live cash in a non-NLHE event. I think I was like 0 for 15 coming in. Over the course of the day I didn't...
