Haven't play much lately....

I haven't played that much in the past month. I had surgery about 2-3 weeks ago and have been recovering from it. I probably won't play any until the new year. I'm going to begin my Sit-n-go quest on Full Tilt starting on January 4th at the latest. My goal is to make 10k playing the $52/90 and $26/90 KO's. I'll keep this updated throughout the process. That's about it. Take it easy

Update from the WSOP-C

I ended up only playing two more events at the circuit. I played the $345 turbo on Wednesday and lasted fairly deep busting around 45th out of 180 entrants. I ran AQ into AK for around 23 BB. I also went deep in the 1k event on Friday busting 28th out of 132. I got my money in dead there with KQ vs KK all in preflop in a late position battle. I haven't played much online since my last update, except last Wednesday. I got 7th in the 33 rebuy on Full Tilt for a total of five final tables in that tourney last month. I also got 16th in the Full Tilt 50 cubed losing QQ vs JJ and TT all in preflop for a huge chiplead. I played a few sit-n-go's today and won a $48+4 90 person one for $1150. I might try putting in a session tomorrow afternoon. I have a EGD scheduled for Wednesday on my throat and doubt I'll be able to play. I'm hoping I can since FTOPS starts up at 9pm that night. I'm definately going to play on Thursday and possibly Friday. That about sums it up.

Take it easy,

WSOP Circuit Update and an Online win.

I played in Event #1 on Friday and played today, both were $345 buyins, today was 6 max. I lasted around six hours in the first event losing a big flip. I only lasted an hour today, after whiffing a big draw then busting with 99 vs Q7 on Q72 when I was down to 20BB against a guy who was literally in every pot.

I have started getting back into the online grind the past few weeks. I've come really close to winning a tournament here or there but couldn't close it out. I finally got that win last Wednesday night shipping the Stars $10 rebuy for 10.6k. It was a pretty wild tournament the last three tables. I lost AA vs JT, AA vs KQ, and KK vs AQ all three all in preflop with three tables or less remaining for big pots. I'm really not sure how I won to be honest. About 7 hours before the win, I took seventh in the $33 rebuy on tilt for $900 which was disappointing. I've had a 5th, 5th, and 7th in that tournament in the last 3 weeks. I plan on putting alot more volume during this winter. I plan on playing online tomorrow, but then go back to live the rest of the week. So I'm probably not going to be able to play online until late next week sometime. I have bowling league on Monday nights, so I can't play any MTT's on Monday's. I'm also having a scope done of my throat next Wednesday. I've had reflux for the past 6-7 weeks and hopefully going to find out what is going on in there. I'll try to have an update later this week on the live front. Take it easy

Been a long time...

It's been a long time since I've updated this thing. Haven't really thought about writing any lately. I've had alot on my mind the past month or so. I've picked up some volume here lately with a few final tables but nothing significant. I have been running really bad deep in some of the tournaments. I'm hoping that changes this week I plan on playing possibly tomorrow, Wednesday, and Thursday or at least two of those. Indiana WSOP Circuit in New Albany kicks off on Friday.

Here is the schedule I'll be playing down there

Fri Oct 23rd- $345 NLH
Mon Oct 26th- $345 NLH 6 Max
Wed Oct 28th- $345 NLH Turbo
Thu Oct 29th- $555 NLH
Fri Oct 30th- $1060 NLH
Sat Oct 31st- $5150 NLH Main Event

The main event could end up being skipped but I'm playing as of right now. These are the softest fields you will find anywhere in the world. I have big expectations as usual. I feel like if I run decent big things could happen here. I'll probably update at some point through next week.

I want to give a congrats to Joby aa_thief_aa Bragg for getting 2nd in the 70k on stars last night for $9500. I'll be posting updates to the wsop circuit events on twitter, you can follow me using this link http://twitter.com/K_Rock2525

Some Poker

I final tabled the $235 6 max at the Horeshoe Classic a few weeks back. I took 5th for $1200 or so. The event only had 102 players. I got 96 in vs 42hh on 9h6x3h board in a blind battle for around half the chips in play and couldn't hold. I played the 2k Main Event and bricked out on it. I grinded the past few days with no good results. I had a deep run in the Stars Warm-Up but busted out 90th out of like 4200 players for around $1100. Other than that I haven't played a whole lot but I really want to get back into the grind starting next week. I'm pretty busy with golf and Matt's wedding this weekend. My birthday is on Friday, turning the big 26. Getting old sucks!!!! Thats about it, later

ISPC update

I played in the 300 and 1k events at the Hollywood this week with no good results. I had the chiplead in the 1k with 16 left but busted 13th. There was only 43 entrants in the event though. I will not be playing anymore events over there. It was the most incompetent staff that I've ever seen in my life. I was in shock of what was going on there. The dealers were just beyond awful, never seen so many misdeals in my life. They were so slow and a few times were wanting to ship the pot to the losing hand. Had a few dealers who thought you could straddle in a tournament. The floor staff in the 1k event missed announcements of when the blinds changed. They did not run one satellite while I was there either. Good Luck to them trying to get good fields in the 1500 and the 3k next weekend. Also, good luck to them of ever wanting to have another WPT event after March next year. They need to get their shit straightened out and get it straightened out quickly. I guess I'll just end up playing more events at the Horseshoe Classic in a few weeks than have to mess with that over there. That about sums it up, take it easy.

Some Live Events Coming Up

I haven't played any poker since I've come back home to Indiana. I've been taking it easy golfing and hanging out with friends and family. It feels really good to be back home in this great state. I have some live events coming up next week though in Lawrenceburg Indiana. The circuit is called the Indiana State Poker Championships(ISPC). I'll be updating on twitter if you would like to follow. My account there is http://www.twitter.com/k_rock2525. Looks like I'll probably play five events there.

Schedule looks like this
8/3-$300 buyin(deepstacked) start out with 15k chips and they have it listed as a 4 day event.
8/5-$1k buyin start out with 9k chips
8/6-$500 buyin start out with 6k chips
8/15-$1500 buyin start out with 12k chips
8/17-$3k Main Event start out with 20k chips

I don't know what the blind intervals are or anything, just the starting stacks. If I don't make day 2 of the $300 deepstacked, I'm going across the border to watch the Cubs play the Reds. I haven't been to a Reds game in years.

After that, the Horseshoe in New Albany has a circuit going on called the Horseshoe Classic which runs from August 14th-25th. I haven't exactly set a schedule for this circuit yet but I have a tentative one. I'm going to miss the $235 6 max event due to the ISPC Main Event being on the same day, I really like 6 max, oh well.

Here is what I'm looking to play in this series

8/19 $235 rebuy
8/21 $345(I don't know if these are 1 or 2 day events, if its a 2 day I'll be out due to mattster's bachelor party being on the 22nd)
8/24 $2100 Main Event start with 15k chips

The schedule is kind of crappy down there, mostly all being $235's but I might throw some of those in there if the field sizes are decent.

FTOPS(Full Tilt Online Poker Series) is right around the corner too, starting August 5th-16th. I'd say I'll pick up my volume online during this time too, should play anywhere from 3-5 events in this I would imagine. August looks like it will be a really busy month for me, which I kind of enjoy all the live tournaments that are going to be here. I'm hoping to give you an update on every live tourney, but sometimes the time gets away from me. That about sums it up, take care!
