  Man, the World Series of Poker is so close I can smell it. As i mentioned in my previous blog, I’ll be getting out a little late this year as I have some family commitments. It’s gonna be tough talking to friends who are already there and missing some of those early events. But… Read more »

2015 is shaping up to be the “Year of Close Calls and Near Misses”.  I’ve been on a nice upswing over the last couple of months, which is always hard to complain about. That being said, it is hard not to think back to some of the deep runs that fizzled, and what could have… Read more »

Just a quick little trip report for the first two days of my WSOP Circuit Event series here at Harrah’s in Cherokee, NC.  Attendance seems really solid, I missed the big re-entry event unfortunately, but I heard they broke a record for number of runners in that one, so that is a good sign about… Read more »

  I’m in the middle of a $5K downswing and I am not thankful for that. But since it is Thanksgiving here in America, I figured I would take a moment to list a few things I AM thankful for. Family, health, etc are of course on the list, but this is the poker edition…. Read more »

Writing this from my hotel here at the Punta Cana Poker Classic.  If you have never hit this event, I would suggest giving it some consideration. The resort is pretty awesome, and the LSOP puts on a really good tournament here. The main event is a great value, and you of course cannot beat playing… Read more »

Just a quick blog update for the nation. I recently returned from Canada and Bigdog’s wedding. It was an awesome time. Got to hang with RFB, TTwist, DannyN13, Marc Alioto and of course Casey. Turns out, Canadians know how to party. Because we are all spread out around the world, we don’t get to hang… Read more »

I think I won a few medals in wrestling when I was like 10, but otherwise I don’t have a single trophy on my mantle. However, that could all change if we can manage to win the British Poker Award for Best Poker Training Site. I’m getting old guys. Help me get a trophy before… Read more »

Just kidding.  I love live poker, and I’m stoked to be heading to the Dominican Republic to play in the Punta Cana Poker Classic with some of the other TPE guys. I’ve heard great things about this series, specifically that it is super soft, so can’t wait to get down there and play. My plan… Read more »

Slave to the Grind

[Total: 1    Average: 10/5]

  July has wrapped.  It was my first (nearly) month back on the online grind after the World Series of Poker and I’m pretty happy with where my game is at the moment. In terms of results, I had about a 40% ROI over about 400 tournaments. I also had a couple of near misses… Read more »

I really thought I was going to need more time off. But I think I was back on the online grind about two days after I got back from the WSOP. I’m glad I jumped right back in as the results have been pretty good so far. Since getting back I’ve put in about 125… Read more »
