I Have More VPPs Than You

Event 10, $1500 NLHE 6-max:  Late registered for this at the 75/150 level, got my chips in with TT vs AK about 15 minutes after that and busted. Event 11, $10k Omaha8:  Had a pretty good table draw and ran pretty good all day, except when I came back from dinner and blew my nose … Read more →

Event 9, $1500 2/7 NL, Day 2:  Kept up the rungood for the first couple hours and got my stack up over 100k with 35 ppl left when no one else had much more than 50k.  My table broke at 35 and unfortunately my rungood didn’t transfer to the new table, losing like 7 showdown … Read more →

Event 7, $10k PLHE, Day 2:  Started the day with 41k at 500/1000 blinds.  First hand the big blind is sitting out, I’m on the button.  Cutoff raises to 2300, I call on the button with T8ss, small blind raises to 6500 and has me barely covered to start the hand, cutoff folds, I call … Read more →

Event 3, $1500 Omaha8:  This game is boring but people play so bad at it.  So many 7-way limped pots and people missing so much value on every hand.  Anyway my day was pretty uneventful, I think my peak stack was like 8k from the starting stack of 4500.  And I made the least optimal … Read more →

Event 2, 25k Heads-Up NLHE:  In this structure we start with 25k chips at 200/300 blinds and can add on for 25k chips twice during the match.  I drew Steve Billirakis in my first match, who goes by MrSmokey online.  I’ve played lots of sngs with him over the years and he’s a very solid … Read more →

Well it’s that time of year again.  I don’t really feel like I have much different to say about my attitude going into the WSOP than I did last year, so I’ll just link what I wrote last year: http://jorj95.blogspot.com/2010/05/most-wonderful-time-of-year.html The one key difference obviously being the baby.  I hope he is a good luck … Read more →
