As you all know by now, the Full Tilt Poker MiniFTOPS XVIII series has begun. This is a very exciting time for me as I don't have the bankroll to play FTOPS events so the Mini is right up my alley. I also plan on playing a lot of low buy-in satellites into the NLHE… Read more »
Well another day has come and gone and with it another playable Mini-FTOPs event. I took a stab at Event #6 last night, figuring what the hell. I haven’t played much in the way of Super Turbos, but it actually was kind of fun. Ended up getting coolered QQ<KK which knocked me out just before… Read more »
Hello TPE Nation! I have never really blogged before so this is all a bit new for me, so bear with me. I am sitting in front of my computer partially talking to myself as I write this out and I am starting to garner some funny looks from my wife. Where to start, well… Read more »
On Thursday I head to Atlantic City for the WSOP Circuit Event at Harrah’s. Looking forward to playing some live poker and meeting up with everyone from TPE…members and pros alike. TTwist, RonFezBuddy and bigdogpckt5s will be in town crushing the events (good game field). Rumor has it we might see a Wein appearance as… Read more »
Been a while since I have blogged to figured I had better knock one out. Between playing and working on TPE things have been so busy I’ve had little time for anything else. TPE has been amazing. Super proud of the podcast we have created and think it will only get better with time. The… Read more »
In my last blog I talked about having just finished 2nd in the AP $10k GTD and how it was nice to finally have ended my downswing. Well, September just kept rolling! Two days after that post I final tabled the AP $10k GTD again, this time winning the tournament outright for $2500. The same… Read more »
September was looking pretty awful there for a bit. I was in the middle of a fairly large downswing and just seemed to be running terribly. I kept telling myself to just keep grinding. And so I did… Finally on Tuesday I broke through with a decent score. 2nd in the Absoute Poker $10k GTD… Read more »
Working on www.tournamentpokeredge.com has been keeping me super busy and although I have been able to put in decent volume, I’m still not where I would like to be. Hopefully changing that with the start of the miniFTOPS. Going to try and play as many events as possible! Bigdog shipping the $109r WCOOP Second Chance… Read more »
Finally! Wow it’s been a tough one but I finally broke through my downswing. I started downswinging in Late March while still playing high stakes. Since final tabling the FTOPS ME in May 2009, I had been playing almost all levels of MTTs profitably but I hit that dreaded downswing after I had withdrawn a… Read more »
I am back from Las Vegas and have had some time to recover and get back to “normal life”. Although the tournaments I played did not go as planned, I still had an amazing time. RonFezBuddy and I shared a room at The Rio and it was alot of fun just getting to hang with him, talk… Read more »
Well, that’s it for my run at the WSOP Main Event. I made it halfway through day 3. The highpoint of my stack the entire tournament was 62k. There’s not much to say here. I made it through this far picking up blinds and 3 bet stealing. There was very little in the way of… Read more »
Hey guys. Wsop is over for most of us. Although the lucky 9 is yet to be determined. We have had our wsop fun this year and its another year to wait for that elusive bracelet. I didnt get a chance to play nearly as many events as I wanted to this year because of… Read more »
Well, I made it through Day 2. On to day 3 with 45k. Blinds will be 500/1000 100ante for the first hour and then go to 600/1200 200 ante. The average stack is around 86k so I’m not in super comfortable shape but having 45bbs in a tournament actually seems like a lot to me!… Read more »
Made it through to day 2! Was a rollercoaster of a day. I ended up with ~24k after being down to about 20k during level 2 and then as big as 60k during level 3. My table was pretty soft. A few older guys and a few burly home-game type players. Just one or two… Read more »
First big event in Vegas did not go as planned. After final tableing the evening tourney at Mirage the night before I was feeling good for yesterdays $550 Venetian Deepstack event. Unfortuatenly my QQ could not hold against a super aggro’s AQ for what would have been a nice 150 big blind stack. I then… Read more »
So I’m writing this up on the plane to play in the WSOP ME. Today is day 1c, and I’m going to play day 1d. I live in New York, so we’re on the 6 hour flight and there’s about an hour left. My laptop battery has just enough left to write up a blog… Read more »
Well Im heading back to Vegas. The beginning of the WSOP was almost very kind to me. I didnt play alot of tournys but did manage to bag near chip leader of 1 of the few I did play. I pretty much snap tilted and flew home after I busted that tourny tho. I get… Read more »

Hey guys! Let me start off by saying sorry for not blogging in over a week, it has been a hectic week for me. I was in Vegas for a few prelim wsop events but am now home as I have a wedding on the 11th. Lots to do so haven’t been on the forums or able to… Read more »
May was a relatively brutal month for me. So it is with much excitment that it is now behind us and we are on to June. I put in my first real session in sometime last night and was pretty happy with the results. In addition to shipping a Sunday Million seat, I also had… Read more »
Well off with 11 buddies for a Friday Saturday get away weekend. Lots of beers and golf in the next couple days. I will get home just in time to get my Sunday grind on. And then fly out to Sin City on Monday night. So next few days are going to be pretty cramped. Hopefully this… Read more »
The pool is warming up, the greens are getting fast, and the barbaque is out. Oh summer, finally…let the good times roll! I got out on the links early this morning. Played the 1k last night til 4 am and still made my 8 am t-off time. Today wasn’t my best round but hit a… Read more »
Manage your BR. Nah, play for the big score. You’re due to break out of your downswing. Those are the conflicting thoughts that have been going through my head the last few weeks. After cashing in the NAPT Mohegan Sun ME in early April, my BR was extremely healthy. I took out a big chunk… Read more »
For those that do not know, my day job is in the music business. I do sales and marketing for a record company…something I have been doing for 15+ years. A year or so ago I was laid off from one label, and during that time I took a shot at playing poker for a… Read more »
So, took a few days off from the pokers. Have been grinding hard for months now. Kinda was on the burn out list from hell. But had some chillax time. Got to hit the driving range a few times and even got out on the course once. Unfortunately, we got rained out halfway through the round…. Read more »
