WSOP SEAT!!

Won my W.S.O.P Main Event seat on Party Poker last night.

Played a step 6, Single table Tournament.

Got Short Stacked early when Ak failed to defeat AQ, however I dominated the rest of the way and I am on my way to the circus.

See you at the Lottery!

March Update.

No more tourneys for me... been mostly playing cash on Party Poker.

5/10 and 10/20 6 Max. Running hotter than I have ever ran before, and learning that cash games is where it is at. No more coinflips, and allin bad beats.

I am loving it.

February Touch in

Hey just a quick post.

The Carribean Adventure turned out to be a huge let down. Don't get me wrong.. The Atlantis was beautiful, however the rooms they put us in were in an old section of the resort and just plain sucked. Otherwise, PokerStars put on a first class event.

My tournament went downhill fast. On the fifth hand of the tounament, YES the fifth hand 25/50 Blinds. I raised UTG+1 to 200 with black Aces, Marco Traniello (Jen Harmons Husband) seated to my immediate left re-raised me to 700 straight... rather than just call, I wanted to elinate any bad beats so I re-re-raised to 2000 straight. He just called. When he did that I put him on KK. There is no other hand he could have.

Flop comes Q 66. rainbow.

and I bet 4000 into the 4000 chip pot, he tanks then finally annouces he is all in.

I just committed 2/3 s of my stack so folding was out of the question.

I call he shows 2 red kings. I am in a great spot to double up early... however a black king on the turn sealed my fate.

Oh well, I got to enjoy the rest of the trip in paradise with my family.

Check back later.

Peace.

Pokerstars Carribean Adventure!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Have not been posting here for a while.. Foxwoods went well for Marco, he finished 35th out of 900 entrants, and took home $15,400 in cash.. we exchanged 20% swaps of each other so after taxes 30% I got a whopping $2000 back. He actually had a chance to win the tournament as he was third in chips with only 45 to go. He made 1 mistake, that may or may not of cost him the tournament.. he called an all in raise of a re-raise, with AK off suit with zero of his own chips in the pot at the time.

I have some other good news, I finally broke through and won a $175 double shoot out and won my seat to the PCA.

I am packing my bags as we speak because we're leaving tomorrow!

First prize is likely going to be in the Million Dollar Range, so again I have zero expectations of taking the Million home, Im going to go there play my best game, have some fun and "HOPE" I get lucky.

Its at the beautiful Altlantis Resort at Paradise Island in the Bahamas, not a bad spot to be if you bust out early and my father and mother in-law have decided to join Darcie, and my 9 month old son for the trip so it promises to be alot of fun no matter what.

If I am still in after the first day (Flight B-- Firday) .. I'll post some entries on this blog.

Wish me Luck!

Day #1 Foxwoods

Well its 11:00 right now, and Im getting ready to go down and play my first day in Foxwoods World Poker Finals.

They split the first day into two flights, Flight A started yesterday (Sunday) and Flight B starts today. I am in Flight B.

The chip leader is Lyle Berman owner of the World Poker Tour (sounds like a conflict of interest doesn't it) with about $150,000 tournament chips.

We start with $10,000 chips and $25, $50 Blinds.

Ill be posting updates on Marco and My Chip Counts on each Break.
