Sorry it took so long for me to make this update…things have been a little hectic the last few days. So, when I made day two of a Venetian DSE $350. I went to day two with 204,000 chips which was just slightly above average, but only good for 25 BBs. I wold have had… Read more »
This one will be a quicky, not much happened yesterday. I went to Blackhawk, Colorado to check out the town and the casinos and sneak in some poker play. Gotta say it was a pretty cool little town, very clean. The casino's are impeccable, very clean. There were some downsides, average age is dinosaur. I… Read more »
Sorry it has been a couple of days since my last post, but I have been doing some traveling and I hadn't had time to write. First thing I'll give you the weekend update (everytime I say that all I hear is Kevin Nealon in my head). I played a handful of tourneys over the… Read more »
If the Saturday 1.5k starting table was a dream, the 1k starting table was a nightmare. Actually, my official starting table lasted about 5 hands and then I was moved to a tough table. At the official starting table I was able to turn my 3k starting to 3.8k super easily. I flatted QJ from… Read more »
Saturday brought my first event of the series, the $1500 Event #18. I geared up in TPE swag and headed over to the Rio with the team. I was super excited to play because I feel like my game has grown so much in the past year since the last WSOP since I’ve been… Read more »
Sometimes it amazes me how much I can learn and then stop paying attention too. If you have been reading I have been struggling some is picking back up my NLHE game from pre-BF, while my PLO game is taking off. I have been confused and flustered trying to figure out what the hell was… Read more »
Nothing is quite as exciting in poker as gearing up for the big summer tourneys such as the WSOP and Venetian DeepStacks. My plans for this year's summer poker series was split into two trips. The first trip is over and I'll be recounting the events here for you. I’ll be back in July for… Read more »
The title this morning is a little non-descript, but powerful nonetheless. I am asking you, the TPE nation a very very important question, and I hope you have the answers. Why? When you do anything at the poker table, do you know why. This was a huge breakthrough for me and I didn't really understand… Read more »
Well I was back at the tables last night and ended the night a might bit annoyed overall. I played a hand fun of 10 man SnG's and some 10NL cash and just couldn't get my mojo flowing. I took a bunch of hits and just couldn't seem to string anything together and worse yet… Read more »
It is Monday and normally this is where a weekend update would go. Well this Monday is a little different, as I don't have anything from the tables to update you on. This weekend my family went away for our annual extended weekend getaway to celebrate a host of birthdays, wedding anniverseries and otherwise… Read more »
This topic is going to seem a little random, but I thought it was a really important discussion point and it has made a difference in my game. My wife put me on Weight Watchers(r) a little while ago (feel free to get the chuckling out of your system now so we can continue smoothly)…. Read more »
Taking today off. I have a pizza in the oven and a cold Mt. Dew for fuel. Plan on just taking it easy today and getting a bunch of work done. I've really been having a blast here in the TPE house. Never a dull moment to say the least.,,hopefully you guys have been checking… Read more »
I thought this was a semi funny, but useful topic to talk about today. First, I hope no one gets insults, this isn't my term, I didn't coin it, but I found it funny and the more that I thought about it, the more it made sense. So what does this term mean and how… Read more »
The first week in Las Vegas for the 2011 World Series of Poker has not gone quite as planned. I’ve had a few near misses including a pretty deep run in a Venetian Deepstack where I flopped the nuts and ended up losing to a rivered full house for 200 BBs with the bubble approaching. … Read more »
Well the weekend is over for me, didn't get in as much as I would have liked at the tables, but hey it can't all go my way now can it. Friday night was a little cash game at the firehouse. Nothing serious, nothing special, just some quality time with the guys drinking, laughing and… Read more »
I have a few minutes and I thought I would hop in and write a little bit. Last night was an off night for me so I didn't get a chance to play, but I was sneaking in a little reading. I purchased a little while back Jeff Hwang's 3 Volume set on Advanced PLO… Read more »
Okay, this is quite literally the 4th time I have tried to sit down to write this today and it will be the charm. If I don't get this out of my head it may explode. Where did this come from, well I was having a conversation with a member in chat last night (who I… Read more »
I'll start this off by saying that it will not be nearly as whimsical as the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, but I do always strive to make my blog posts epic literary achievements! So anyway as the title says yesterday was a big day for two out of three (guess who had the… Read more »
Starting off Tuesday after a solid weekend at the tables again feels ooooooo sooooo good! Got to throw down a sweat post in the forums for the first time in a while and I have to say it felt damn nice. Managed a solid 4th place finish in a $2.20 PL HA tourney on Friday… Read more »
Waking up at 6:30 am was not how I planned for the summer to begin, but since I did, I figured I might as well start things off in a productive fashion and get a blog post done. I arrived at the TPE house at 2 PM yesterday. Cougars and Bigdog had already arrived and… Read more »
Morning all. I figured that since I didn't play last night (took my mom out to dinner for her birthday) I would still sit down and do a little writing. I will apologize now to everyone, but going to get up on my soapbox here for a little bit. I suspect that I will be… Read more »
Well it is certainly nice to be back and writing, hopefully whatever mystery readership I had is still out there, otherwise this is just a fancy way of me talking to myself. So I have been slowly trying to re-integrate myself into the game. Playing free money has changed some of what I was adapting… Read more »
Dear TPE Nation, You have absolutely no idea how good it is to be back. I am back in action on Lock Poker. I have tried and struggled mightily with the Freeroll challenge. I had a host of strong finishes, in the Top 50's in the NLHE and PLO games which was incredibly exciting,… Read more »
Despite the recent changes in the poker landscape, it’s business as usual for the bigdog. I was able to take 2nd recently in the Poker Stars Sunday 500 for $42K and then a few days later took 2nd in FTOPS #31 for almost $11K. Along with a few other decent sized scores it was a… Read more »
"Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end." – Seneca I think I have recovered. The shock of Black Friday has passed. The sun still seems to be coming up every day and I'm playing poker again. I made a $500 deposit on Carbon Poker in early May in hopes that I could occasionally… Read more »
