It's been a rough week of poker for me, with just about everything that could go wrong reaching up and slapping me in the face. Between the draw outs, bad reads, and sold out events I spent much of the...
Warning: This post contains a bad beat story. I played pretty well today, though there were some missed opportunities. There was a player at my first table who had to have been involved in about 60% of the pots. I...
May starting day for event 2 is here. I'll be heading over to the Rio in a couple hours along with approximately 2,000 other players for today. Yesterday's action in this tournament saw nearly 2,050 entrants, but just 225 remained...

A few details from last night's sat: I knocked out a good looking girl from something called Nude Poker Dorm. Somehow, in Vegas, this doesn't seem out of the ordinary. I raised her all in with AKh on a board...
The eve of the 2007 Main Event saw an influx of people to the Rio. The large crowds became massive, and the long lines became interminable. With millions of dollars at stake, we all seem to be able to look...

I got into Vegas a few hours ago. After buying in to my first tournament (Saturday, Event 49) I wandered around the room a bit. Watched a bit of the action in the $50,000 HORSE event. Every remaining table has...
