This is well after the dinner break, and I have an average stack, with 100 players left. I just got moved to Mike Matusow’s table. On my first hand at the table, I had AK in my Big Blind. The small blind raised, and I moved all in. He called with […]

I did really well in the first event (there are two of these per series), if finished 22nd, and had a really great chance. Today I started off horrible. I have been the low stack for the first five hours of the tournament, just couldn’t find a hand. I had 12 rebuys, […]

I got busted in the hold em – I was pretty unlucky, and as you know the guy made a big move on me, and took most of my chips with a backdoor straight.
So, I went and played the Razz, and I couldn’t pick up a hand. Ted Forrest busted me out, I got […]

I’m back playing again today, playing the $5k Pot Limit Hold Em. Early on, I picked up two pair against a complete bluff, got all the money in, but things went wrong. The board was K 7 3, and I had K 7. This guy decides to check raise me with 9 […]

After the dinner break, things were just disasterous. I raised a couple hands, and a couple short stacks re-raised me, one had Aces, one had AK, and I had to double them both up.
I raised with A 10, and got re-raised, and I lost a race against two deuces, and I’m out. I […]

I’ve been kinda struggling all day, and I’ve made a number of laydowns, which I don’t like doing. I have Joe Beevers on my right now, and we’ve been hooked up in a few pots. I hope I can knock him out, I really love to knock these guys out all the time, […]

I haven’t played on Howard’s table for a long time. It was fun to have him on my table from the start, though we did not say one word to each other. I think the grudge from Paris is gone, I don’t think we have a grudge anymore. Howard is a great […]

They got me busted in the Omaha. I played really great today. Its so hard. I got down to 30,000 today, and then got Aces twice, and doubled up pretty easily against a very aggressive player who doesn’t play much Omaha. Then I picked up pocket Kings and I just called […]

40,900 is my chip stack, which is about average. Its 5am, so it was a long day. I had 30,000 chips almost right away, as Ram Vaswani pushed me his stack, but I couldn’t get many more chips for the rest of the day.
I’m in the money for the fifth time in 12 […]

I had a bad day today. I came to the shootout, and couldn’t get going at all. We got down to six handed before I busted. I raised with pocket 6’s, and I got re-raised all in. I called all my stack off, I didn’t have much – we started with […]
