If you read my first blog of the summer, you know things got off to a decent start here in Vegas. But if you play MTTs you also know that eventually variance can catch up to you. Since making the final table of my very first tournament of the summer, things have taken a turn… Read more »
Titling this blog entry “2013 WSOP” is a bit misleading, because I don’t plan to play any WSOP events this summer. I have a full schedule of about 12-14 Venetian Deepstack events. I love that series, plus it is much more with my poker bankroll. I had originally intended to get in to Las Vegas… Read more »
The World Series of Poker circuit event in North Carolina has come to an end (at least for me) and I have to say it was a pretty awesome event. It was great to see so many people come out for an event in my home state…especialyl considering Cherokee is pretty much in the middle… Read more »
I thought the World Series of Poker circuit event in Cherokee, NC might get some pretty good fields because of the lack of other events in a huge radius of the event. But even I could not have predicted the numbers they got in the early events! With that in mind I decided to head… Read more »
What's up Tournament Poker Edge. It's been a while since I've blogged so I thought I should take a minute to update everyone. Obviously the big news as far as poker goes for me was chopping back to back Sunday Millions and winning the Super Tuesday on Poker Stars. That was a fun couple of… Read more »
Hello TPE, You can all say what you want about me being on Casey's nuts, the fact is he has coached me into a beast. I'll swing there all day if it makes me the best. I have been doing very well throughout all the American sites in my journey into mtts and the ride… Read more »
Plans are coming together, and I could not be more excited about the upcoming summer in Las Vegas for the 2013 World Series of Poker. The Tournament Poker Edge house is booked! This year will be a little different, as we only have the house booked for 4 weeks (instead of the usual 6 or… Read more »
So in my last blog I talked about how great the end of 2012 was an how excited I was to get started grinding heavy again in 2013. And then the downswing started… It was not a huge downswing. But when you are playing on these smaller US facing sites, you get used to bad… Read more »
Hey guys and gals! I see a lot of poker players blogs and a lot of them have a similar theme the last couple weeks. And that's goals and ambitions for the upcoming year. I figured I would do something I don't normally do and write a blog. I'm a pretty well spoken guy but I… Read more »
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 »
Just a quick story to break up the overall tone of this blog… Playing a $1k satellite for $10k in lammers to the Main Event at the 2012 WSOP. My table was comprised of myself and all middle aged men, one of which was dressed in an all-black suit with a top hat. Although… 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 »
Although it certainly wasn't the journey that Homer depicted in his epic, this week I finally made the journey over the border to Canada to play on ROW sites like Stars and Party (guess I'll have to change my TPE bio). I know many TPE members that I have talked to have indicated that they… 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 »
