…And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead

Save for Later

The TPE nation is destroying!  So stoked to see so many members and pros crushing MTTs.  It seems like every time I log in to chat at night, someone is at a final table.  If it is not the Bigdog at a $100r final table it is HITTHEPANDA just destroying peoples souls in an FTOPS event.  If it is not Cracker9Ball at a UBOC final table it is SmiggieBalls at TWO UBOC final tables.  If we are not careful we are going to single handedly suck all the money out of the poker community!

Personally, I continue to be super stoked with 2011.  January started out great for me with 2 final tables on AP in one night and a Full Tilt Turbo Fiddy final table where I finished 3rd.    I final tabled the Poker Stars $70K.  Unfortunately I finished in 7th, but I'm never one to complain about a $2K+ score, so I wont.  February has been as good, or better, so far.  A few days after the $70K final table,  I had my second Turbo Fiddy final table of the year finished second for a nice $3700 score.  I've ramped up my volume quite a bit, so it's been nice to get those scores to give me the ammunition i need to keep entering tournament after tournament.

Here is my ROI so far for 2011 on the sites I play on:

Full Tilt Poker:  44% in January, 197% in February

Poker Stars: 66% in January, -56% in February (have not been putting in as much volume on Stars as I have on Full Tilt so this number represents an ~$500 downswing on stars.  Nothing to worry about)

Absolute Poker:  January/February:  83%

I plan to keep a pretty heavy schedule throughout the rest of February.  March and April will be a bit chaotic for me as I have a ton of personal stuff (all good) going on.  And then in May I'll be prepping for and heading out to Vegas for the summer, so I want to get as much volume in as I can while I still have some time to play.

I'm pretty excited about Vegas.  We have some pretty big plans for TPE which I can't wait to share with everyone.  Not to mention hopefully getting to play a little live poker here and there. Oh, and getting to live with the TPE pros for a summer and pick the brains of some of the best players I know will not suck too much either.

That's it for now!
