A couple of sources are saying so. http://www.pokerplayernewspaper.com/content/full-tilt-pokerstars-negotiations-can-12310 Announcement on Monday I think. Let’s hope so.

David Sklansky, the head authority on logic has just come out with a […]

I lasted up until about an hour before dinner break on day 2. The day started off pretty well with me chipping up pretty slowly and people folding to my steals until I got up to my peak of 55k or so. I then lost a 30k pot where I flatted KQs in position and […]
I don’t have a ton of chips (26.5k) but day one is all about survival. I lost about 13k chips on the 2nd to last hand of the night where I opend from EP with red aces, guy on my left calls, MTT pro on the button 3 bets I just flat, guy on my […]
I’m getting excited to head back to Vegas today. My flight is in a couple hours and I’m just finishing up packing now. I’m meeting up with some peeps tonight and then planning to play the $2500 10 game tomorrow. I’ve been working on my Badugi and 2-7 Single Draw for the past week or […]
So in case you haven’t figured out by now I ended up busting the shootout. The second table was pretty tough. I hadn’t really thought about it til I showed up that morning, but the level of skill after the first table of the shootout goes way up. Normally in an MTT you’re still going […]
So I made another day 2. I’m obviously running good. I had one big suckout vs the best player at the table who won a bracelet in event #1 this year. I didn’t really mind gambling vs him and I had some fold equity when I limp shoved 25bb or so vs him with QJ […]
I don’t think I’ve ever been so disappointed to win $36k($33k if you subtract my buyins) in my life. I busted in a 3 way hand and 12th paid an extra $10k. Oh well. It’s nice, but changes my life in no way at all and once you get that close to a final table […]
Really day 4 for me since I busted on my first try at day 1. The bad news is that since it was such a large field there is still 33 people left and I’m not already at the final table. The good news is first pays almost $800k which would be sweeeeet. I have […]
I played my first NL event today and played extremely well, but took some horrendous beats to bust. It reminded me of the good old run bad days haha. Kathy Liebert was seated at my starting table. She bluffed off like half her chips in the 2nd hour and was generally pretty quiet/tight after that. […]
I got into Vegas Thursday and played my first event 5pm that day. It feels good to back playing poker. It’s been quite awhile. I was a little nervous sitting down for my first event as it’s been so long since I played, but after an hour or so I felt right at home again. […]
