This week, Daryl Jace continues his live sweat and DannyN13 starts a new one. Also, recent pros Merfinis and theginger45 give us a new blog entry and a new strategy article respectively. The best thing that happened this week was TPE Nation’s own Ryan Van Sanford scoring a WSOP Circuit ring on his first try. Nice job bro!

In part 2, Daryl starts short stacked at all three tables. By the end of the video, he busts one and runs the other two up to 70bb and 40bb which gives him room to make some moves going forward. In part 3, he does a good job of picking his spots and not opening into aggro players.

DannyN13 returns this week with a live sweat and a primer to prepare us for the upcoming TCOOP series. He is a turbo expert so these tourneys are tailor made for him. In part 1, he gets a stack in the $8.80 rebuy but is short in the others which is standard for turbos. In part 2, he gets short in the $8.80 rebuy but runs up a nice stack in the $55 Second Chance.

It’s been a while, but finally Merfinis is back with a blog update. Cant say I blame the guy for not making an entry earlier seeing as how he was busy exploring the US and visiting Vegas for the first time. Wow! Anyone who has had that experience wont soon forget it. He catches up by giving us his 2014 goals. Good luck going forward bro!
