Back on the board finally! - I finally managed to cash in a MTT tonight after quite awhile without much of anything. I guess I havent been playing a ton of them, but even when I did, I just was either not focused and made a dumb play that cost me, or I just took some ridiculous beat...

Guess I need to update.... - Sorry its been so long since Ive updated anything. I hit a bit of a downswing while I was trying to clear the bonus over at PokerRoom and went into hiding a bit, lol. I was playing 2/4 over there, slowly slowly trying to clear that impossible bonus and ...
Why Leave Home? - Wild things happen in Vegas everday. For a long weekend, I was fortunate enough to be a part of some of them. I was even part of the infamous bus ride from Sushi to the Strip. That story is coming. As wild and unusual as Vegas can be though, I bet no...

The WSOP - I won three hands at the WSOP. Two were late position raises of 3.5x the blinds that no one called. The other was a call of a bluff with A high. The bettor seemingly went out of his way to look shifty and made a bet that looked to me to be completely i...

Wow am I getting it up the ass today! - I just cannot win a hand today. Yes, this is a bad beat story... well not a story, just me bitching about the countless times its happened to me today. Im playing 1/2 over at PokerRoom (Oh yeah, I moved there for another PSO bonus)... anyway, I am getti...
What a difference a week makes - Life has a way of slapping back into reality when you get a bit too confidence. If you read my last blog, you probably came away thinking this guys getting a bit cocky and in retrospect I was. Well the poker gods changed that in a hurry. Thanks to a co...
