After suffering for so many days, and going past midnight, and not making it to a day 2, I finally did it. I made it into day two. I’m just a bit below average in chips. I have 30,000 chips, and the average is about 37,000. There are about 70 […]

Today is my 4th day of playing deep into the tournament. Its about 11pm, and I am still in the $1,000 with rebuys tournament. I missed a lot of hands watching the CBS show, but it didn’t seem to effect me that much.
I have about 13,000 now, and the average is about 17,000. […]

I just watched the show myself, and I guess I was a little over the top, but that’s me. I have so much emotion, and feeling for the game, I guess I just get carried away.
The story with Ralph Perry, who I really gave a hard time after I gave him a bad beat […]

Today, I kinda struggled early. After four hours of play, I was down to 1,000 chips, we started with 2,500. 1,269 players entered today, yet another massive field.
Somehow I made it to the dinner break, and had some Japanese food, which was not great. Nothing compares to the Bellagio for me. I’m […]

We hit a wall in the Omaha hi-lo today. Unbelievable, I was the favorite in so many multi-way pots, including the last one.
We get down to four tables, and I get on a table with Phil Ivey, Gavin Smith, Sam Farha – it was a fun table. This is what the WSOP is […]

We’re to the next break, and not many things have happened. The highlight of the day so far is I knocked Huck Seed out. He’s been playing well, but he’s tightened up a lot. I don’t know if that is good, or bad but he tried to make a move on me, […]

My best start ever. Unbelievable today, playing my favorite game, or at least my favorite game when I am sick of hold em.
263 players put the money up to play today. Amir Vahedi, and Chau Giang are at my table, and it’s a nice table. Amir is playing pretty loose, […]

I played all day, until midnight, and I took some pots off Sklansky after the last break that I updated. Just couldn’t get it going all day. I was at a table with David Williams – we had such a good time, he is such a fun guy.
One critical hand that I had […]

We’re getting pretty deep into the tournament, and I have a really funny table. Sam Grizzle is at my table, who I love, cause he talks so much shit, just like me. Sam is the chip leader at the table. I also have David Sklansky, who wrote all those books that I […]

I’m pretty happy to get though to this stage. I haven’t been involved in any hands all day, and I’m up to 3,500 in chips, which is just around average. It’s a good position to be in.
Its such a boring game to be involved in, I really hate playing it. But, it […]
