Been awhile...

I haven't had any time really to update as I've been super busy out here. I finally got my first live score and it came in a $2k WSOP event and I cashed it for $4k. I busted Allen Cunningham in this event. I busted out 150th out of 1700 players or so. I haven't played awhole lot online, but did have a 7k score last Sunday in the 109 turbo on Stars. My schedule for this week is to play the $1k Venetian tomorrow, then the $550 Venetian on Monday, the $340 Venetian on Tuesday, the $340 Venetian on Wednesday, the $550 Venetian on Thursday, then I have a day off Friday, then the $1500 WSOP on Saturday. This is my busiest week yet, hopefully I can produce a big score. Then on Monday I play another $1500 WSOP and my last tournament on the schedule is the $10k WSOP Main Event on July 3rd. I might play a few more Venetian's if I make it past day 1A of the main event, since it will be like 5 days before day 2A. Thats about it on the poker front, if you want to follow updates on me you can by using the site http://www.twitter.com/k_rock2525.

My sister gave birth to a baby girl today and they named her Mallory Paige Cockerham. They are both healthy as can be so that is a huge plus. I can't wait to get home and see her and Skyler. I'll try to update sometime this week, take it easy.

Update from Las Vegas

I haven't had any good results since the last update. I bricked three more live tournaments this past week to put my tally at 0-5. I built up a huge stack in the Venetian $550 on Friday only to lose massive pots when they really counted. I played online today and ran pretty bad. I have three live tournaments on the schedule for this week which are the $340 Venetian tomorrow, the $225 Venetian shootout on Tuesday, then the $550 Venetian on Wednesday. Dave and Helwig are coming out on Thursday and staying through Saturday, so I'll be taking some time off from the grind and hanging out with them for a few days. I'll be back grinding online on Sunday and I really haven't looked at the live schedule for the week after but I think its a full slate. I'll keep ya updated, hopefully with some good updates the next time I post. Take it easy, later.

Poker in Vegas

Well we rolled into Las Vegas Sunday morning around 5am local time. We got a hotel off the strip for the morning and made it into the house around 2pm the next day. It looked just as good as we seen in the pictures on the website. I picked up my first ever speeding ticket on the way in Illinois, I thought the speed limit was 70, nah it was only 65. Honestly, I haven't seen a speed limit that was 65 on an interstate since '97 or so. Oh well, back to the poker, I played in Event #5 on Monday at the WSOP, was a $1500 PLO event. Started with 4500 chips and the levels were an hour. I busted out in the first two hours losing 77A8 versus QT44 on 762 2 heart flop for a 6k pot. He had 3 hearts in his hand and I had one as well. River came 3 hearts, I was around an 80 percent favorite to win the hand. About twenty minutes later, I get AAT6 allin preflop vs AA85 and QJ99 and lose, was a 6k pot. I played in event #7, which was a $1500 WSOP NL event. Started with 4500 in chips and hour levels, same as the PLO event. I lasted a little over two hours in this one, before running TT into QQ for around a 10k stack. I never got anything going on early in this one either.

After I busted the PLO event yesterday, I came straight back and played some online MTT's. I won the 50 cubed on Stars for a little over $6k. I also took fifth in the 33 rebuy on Full Tilt for around $2k. I profited around $7k on the day playing online. This was my first full grind session online for quite sometime. I crushed last year out here online and I'm off to another great start. Tomorrow I'm playing in the $1500 WSOP NL 6 Max, this is the tourney I've looked forward to playing the most except for the main event obviously. I think 6 max fits my game really well live. On Thursday and Friday, I'm playing at the Venetian which both are $550 buyins. I'll try to update again in another few days or so, take it easy!
