No Poker...sucks New Baby Yea!!
Government sucks when they take away your freedoms 1 by 1. unfortunately the players and their bankrolls are stuck in the middle. i got a little back from stars, but fulltilt has been completely quiet and haven't paid anyone back yet. I tried to deposit 1 check which bounced and hopefully they get pressured to hurry up and we can get regulations in ( Read more... ) -
Hey, I Won A Poker Tournament!!
I hate to post anything because I almost always crash and burn for a couple weeks after, but I won a $2,000 Step 7 seat on Tilt and won my 13th tournament ($50 rebuy - 179 players, for about $5,000) (100 players or more) out of about 1900 tournaments played, which doesn't seem like a lot, but my avg. tournament field is about 450 players so ( Read more... ) -
Yea!!! I won something
So far I've played 88 multi's this month and have had a bunch of final tables (10 total), only to have bad luck and finishes ((4)10th's, 8th, 7th, and (4)6th's) Last night I was cruising along in the $50 TURBO Rebuy which has had some big prize pools lately in excess of $100,000 and there was only a couple tables left and some guy shoves a big ( Read more... ) -
A solid year of poker, and some goals for next year!
Well considering the economy is still in the toilet and I only get to play poker about 2-4 hours a night, this year has been pretty solid for me. It can be a bit frustrating and maybe a bit of jealousy to see many of the top online poker pros racking up $100,000's+ each year in wins and I'm stuck grinding out smaller late night tourneys for a few ( Read more... ) -
Hi I'm trying to post via my new Epic phone.
Poker has been predictably up and down. I'm mostly grinding $100-200 9 handed sng's on Full Tilt and rebuy tourneys on Tilt and Pokerstars with some success. I'll detail later and see if this posts correctly. GL, hope nobody gets coal in their sack tonight ;-) Donkeyherder -
The Roller Coaster Ride Of Playing Poker For A Living?!
I haven't posted for a while (since the end of June) because I was on the upswing of a heater. After pretty much abandoning multi table tournies for a few months, I decided to play a few more before the WSOP and realized how much I enjoyed the competition and thrill of competing for that BIG prize. The WSOP wasn't exactly huge for me, but I knew I ( Read more... ) -
You would think Full Tilt Poker would be a little more customer friendly?
For some reason the southern California area had a server crash with one of the internet providers causing me to get booted off of Full Tilt in the middle of a $50 rebuy tourney $200 invested and it only affected Full Tilt's website. I ended up not being able to log back into their site until about 1am. I checked on 2+2 poker forums and it was a ( Read more... ) -
Catching up on some poker, WSOP, etc.
It's been quite a while since I posted last. I've been so busy between work, home, and poker. The 1st 4-5 months have been pretty good in terms of consistent success. While Cake Poker had decent volume at the higher limits I was probably one of the most successful Double or Nothing SNG players in the world, but they have lost some traffic recently ( Read more... ) -
Poker - So far so good!!
I don't particularly like going that long in between posts, but time is money. At the current moment I hope to avg. about $100 per hour. So you could say each post is costing me $100-200 depending on how much I put into each post. In the end, I hope posting can help me collect my thoughts and keep me focused on my goals, which should add up to ( Read more... ) -
An End to 2009 and a Fresh Start to 2010!!
Well, as every year, there have many unexpected up's and downs. This year also continued my track record, each year, of accomplishing something big or making another big step in my life. This year was moving into a big, new, house. The year before was my son being born and renting out the condo we bought a few years back, and before that was ( Read more... )
