Overall, the year was great with a ton of cool accomplishments on the Tournament Poker Edge front as well as some decent poker accomplisments. I'm especially happy with how much better my live MTT game has gotten. Having a profitable summer in Vegas was a big goal of mine, and although it was not a… Read more »
I've been slow to update my blog, mostly because I've been playing so much poker and the holidays came about. When you play poker so much you don't really do anything worth mentioning. Sure I could say I made a few thousand buckaroos but anyone can make money. When its live at least you have… Read more »
OUCHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…..0 cashes yesterday for a net of around -$2,000…I'm not really sure because when this stuff happens its best not to count. The more I think about the concept of being taxed a higher percentage of your income for making over a certain amount of money ($250,000/yr) the crazier I think our world is. Are… Read more »
Have you ever gone to bed only to lay there for hours on end without feeling the slightest bit closer to falling asleep? Like having an itchy eye that gets itchier every time it is just about to go away, making it nearly impossible to lay off. Or perhaps you forgot to turn the faucet… Read more »
This blog post is intended only to share my experience with moving across the border. I don’t guarantee this to be legally ironclad, nor do intend to portray this as a typical experience with relocation for online poker. I have been contacted on Twitter, on the PartTimePoker forums and TournamentPokerEdge forums, and in person by… Read more »
When we started Tournament Poker Edge back in 2010, it was out of a passion for playing poker and a philosophy of wanting to do something I loved for "a job" and not just what would provide the biggest paycheck. I knew we had a great product, a great team and, within a few months,… Read more »
The WSOP final table was live on ESPN2 last night, and because hurricane Sandy was more like hurricane Sally, I had power to watch it. The final table has three players remaining and the three left are the most qualified in my opinion. I mean that they have played the best throughout the final table… Read more »
Poker results yesterday: 2nd in the $55 rebuy on lock for about $1,600 and some withered min cashes on merge, ended up making a few bucks, can't complain. I don't know who said offense is the best defense, but I think they are dumb. I think they are dumb to the point where that statement… Read more »
Nothing feels better than back to back winning days. For an MTT player they don't happen all the time, so you might as well dance around naked when they do. Yesterday I shipped the $109 on lock in what seemed like an easy cruise through the field. I hit my 2 outs in a standard… Read more »
Am I the only person who wakes up on Mondays and cooks bacon without a shirt on? This is probably my most painful past time. Every time I start the cooking its, "here we go again". I guess dodging hot grease bullets really wakes you up. I get a lot of creative writing ideas from… Read more »
Thought it was about time for a new blog seeing as how the last few weeks of my life have been really crazy busy. As I mentioned in my last blog, I have started doing some social media marketing work for a local craft brewery, and that has been going great! I guess I am… Read more »
There have been countless complaints against the TSA securities at airport across the United States. I have traveled a good amount and have never really had a problem. Maybe that is because every time I have to get a pat down I go to the line that's inspected by the Latino woman with nice curves. … Read more »
Who goes out to the market and buys candy corn? If candy corn were perishable, October would smell terrible. Candy corn is only eaten when it is the absolute last resort. Its the only candy that is used mainly for decoration. It is the only candy that kids would rather have the non candy version… Read more »
Sunday I finally cashed the $500 super stack on Lock poker, taking down 3rd for a nice 5 digit score, which is quite rare for US poker players. It was also much sweeter because I won a $100 satellite sit n go to qualify for the tournament, super free roll. From a psychology stand point,… Read more »
Big day yesterday, Jersey Shore is back. Watching the Shore is like waking up to stale beer. It stinks, its cheap, its bad for your head, but no matter how many times you say you will never drink again, you do. This is probably going to get me on the bad side of most online… Read more »
Did anyone else watch the ESPN mini film on pro athletes that go broke? The film "Broke" talked about famous athletes who either thought they were rich and weren't, or thought they were going to be rich forever. For professional athletes, if they came into money, every single person around them represented negative dollars. It… Read more »
Last night I watched Avengers again, that movie kicks ass!!! Iron man's character needs one small improvement. He talks to his suit multiple times through out the movie and names it "Jarvis". I think he should paint his suit black, give it dread locks, and rename it "Ben Jarvis Green Ellis" because it can take… Read more »
Last blog I got tons of hate for what I think was a failure to communicate my message. I apologize, my main message I was trying to convey was that our education system is broken. Now looking back and making similarities, I think its just as broke as our health care system, which I will… Read more »
I would like to start this masterpiece off by saying congratulations to Nicky Evans and Francisco Costa. Nicky chopped the Sunday warm up on stars for 77k, and Francisco won a WSOPE Omaha bracelet for about 90k euros. Although Francisco's win is much more prestigious and brings more fame, Nicky maintained a better hourly win… Read more »
A few years back I started blogging for Bluff Magazine, in the youth of my poker/post college days. Although you're not all grown up until the day before you die, I feel like I'm not so much of a rookie as I used to be. I'd like to use this blog to talk about politics. … Read more »
There is no real purpose of any blog, especially this one. However so long as the words are creative and the subject is entertaining, the blog is worth reading. In today's blog I will be talking solely about myself and the path that I am on right now, future blogs will not do the same…. Read more »
Back around the time that we started Tournament Poker Edge, I stumbled upon the writings of a guy name Gary Vaynerchuck. He wrote a book called "Crush It!" that I found motivating. In fact, my wife laughs at me as she often catches me watching videos of his on YouTube. This video for example does… Read more »
So…it's back to reality. I ended up having to leave Las Vegas a bit earlier than expected. Although it only resulted in about 3 less days in Vegas, it did result in me not being out there for the main event, which was kind of a bummer. That is such an exciting time to be… Read more »
The last week and a half or so have been pretty solid poker wise. After bustnig the Venetian $600 Danny and I decided to enter the $200 Big Bounty. I managed to final table it and ended up chopping 3 handed for essential second place money of $3600. I felt like it was a pretty… Read more »
So Marc and Casey were all fired up to play the $1K at Binion’s. We all assumed it would be a super soft field (being Binion’s and all) and they tried to get me to play it as well. I sold a few pieces and decided to go for it. Let’s just say it was… Read more »
