Biloxi WPT

Things didn't go to well down at the WPT in Biloxi for me. I got 33rd in the $1k where 18 paid, lost QJs vs 99 all in pre flop where a Q was in the window but a 9 was also in the flop for 36BB's. I got 25th in the $2500 where 18 paid, I had a big stack the whole way and things went bad at the end. I ran AK into AA then 99 vs AQo to bust. I never really got anything going in the main event and never picked up any hands. I busted day 2 with 99 vs Shannon Shorr's AK on a QT8J board for around 45k at 300-600. I also got sick on this trip making it the third time I've gotten sick in Mississippi on 3 visits. I won a 109 turbo on stars while down there for around $7k to book a profit online while down there. I got crushed in the two sessions since I've been back. It hasn't been a good start to the new year at all, but hoping February will produce better results.

I just plan to grind online for the next few months and hopefully book some wins. I don't plan to play live again until the WPT comes to the Hollywood in Lawrenceburg IN in April. The WSOP schedule came out for the summer and it has me pretty excited. We just booked our house for the whole summer, so hopefully I will hit a big score this summer. That about sums it up, take it easy

Online update and Biloxi WPT

I have put in quite a bit of volume so far this month and I've struggled a little bit. I'm currently down around $4k so far. I'm currently playing my last tournament of the day which is the $109 45k guaranteed on PokerStars, I put in a small session this afternoon so I'd have time to pack later tonight for Biloxi tomorrow. I have had one good session this month where I made around $12.5k with four final tables. One of them was the 90k on PokerStars where I got 5th for a little over 5k, but was highly disappointed as I came in as the chip leader with a 2-1 advantage on second place. I also got 2nd and 3rd in the Full Tilt 30 rebuys in the same day. I'm not sure how much volume I'll put in while I'm in Biloxi for the WPT. I'm hoping I can make some good runs down there.

Here is a list of the events I will be playing...

Tuesday January 18th- $1070k NLHE
Wednesday January 19th- $1580 NLHE
Thursday January 20th- $660 NLHE 6 max
Friday January 21st- $2600 NLHE
Sunday January 23rd- $10k NLHE Main Event

I could end up missing some of these events if I happen to make day 2's. This will be my second $10k event that I have played, I cashed the last one which was the Main Event in 2009, so hoping to go deep in this one too. I will be tweeting updates to http://twitter.com/K_Rock2525. Those updates will also transfer over to facebook. Thats about it, GL me! Take it easy

December Update

December started out a little sluggish, but I had a big night a couple of nights ago. I shipped the 4pm $162 on Stars for 14.7k, got 4th in the 50 cubed at 1030pm on Tilt for $2.8k, 2nd in Big Double B on Tilt for 1.9k, and got 3rd in the 101 Heads Up Hyper Turbo on Stars for 1.6k. I'm up around 11.5k on the month to this date after the big night. I have put in over 460 MTT's already this month. Not sure how much more I'll play with me leaving for Vegas on Tuesday to go watch IU play some basketball and with the holidays coming up.

In my last blog I talked about moving out, I still plan to but apparently the place I'm wanting to move into hasn't been remodeled yet so the move in date has been set back. I'm hoping for it to be done sometime in January and hopefully before I leave for Biloxi on the 17th. Notre Dame gets to play vs Miami on New Years Eve in their bowl game. Hopefully the defense played like it did to finish the year and I think well be alright. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year since I probably won't post before the new year.

Update

I haven't really played much the past few weeks as I've been just taking it easy. I ended up profiting around $7k for the month, so not too shabby. My next session will most likely be Wednesday. Matt and I booked our trip to go play the WPT at Biloxi in January. I'm hoping to put in a lot of volume from now until Christmas. I plan to move into the new place right after Christmas so going to be quite busy doing that.

IU basketball for the future looks as bright as ever. With the recent commits we should be back to being a top tier basketball team once again. Tom Crean has done an excellent job and I'm very pleased with him as the head coach. I went to assembly hall Friday night for the first time in probably five years and it was a good time. I can't wait until the 2012 season. Notre Dame finished the season strong and ended up at 7-5 with 3 other games that could of gone in their favor. The defense has been playing really well and hope that continues into their bowl game.

That about sums it up,

Online Update

I didn't play too much to close out October but have started off well in the month of November. It was turbo night on Full Tilt on Wednesday night and I shipped the 109 6 max turbo at 11pm for a smooth $9500. Also on the same night I shipped the 109 turbo on Poker Stars at 1am for $7500. I'm hoping to put in a lot of volume this month and hopefully the positive results will keep showing. It appears I'll be heading to Biloxi in January for the WPT events. I'm not quite sure what my schedule will consist of but this is the plan I'm shooting for right now...

Jan 18th- $1070 NL
Jan 19th- $1580 NL
Jan 20th- $660 NL 6 max
Jan 21st- $2600 NL
Jan 23rd- $10k NL Championship

I want to say congrats to mattster24 for chopping the Wednesday Quarter Mill for a cool $43.7k this past Wednesday. Big timin I must say! That sums it up, take it easy.

WSOP Southern Indiana and some online

Figured I should probably update the blog since its been awhile. I recently played in WSOP Southern Indiana in New Albany earlier this month. I didn't fare to well only cashing one event. The cash was for a little more then $1k in a $550 buyin. I was doing really well in the money until picked up 88 and 4 bet an older crazier women and she snapped if off with KQ. I couldn't hold for the chiplead pot with 19 left. I also bubbled a $350 buyin in pretty sick fashion where I lost a huge pot with Q8 vs KK all in on the flop of QJ8. I built back up only to run QQ into AA and ended up sticking my money in with 66 as a short stack to run into QQ. I didn't last too long in the main event either when I got set over setted in a big pot at 100-200.

Online has been going really well still since the huge score back in September. I won the 109 turbo on Stars on the 13th for $13k, and also had four final tables on the 11th where I didn't run too well at the final table in these. I can't really complain because I ran really well in the Stars 109 turbo.I plan to play some tomorrow but not going to put in a high volume schedule. Hopefully next time I post the positive results will keep showing.

Currently watching ND down 7-3 to Navy and Navy is inside the 5 about to score again in the 2nd quarter. Sigh!

Biggest score Ever!

I've gotten off to a hot start in the month of September. I took down the Full Tilt 163 yesterday at 3pm for around 27.4k! This is the biggest score I've ever had and it feels awesome. I ran really and I mean really well deep in this thing. I also won the Full Tilt 30 rebuy on Monday for 9.5k and got 4th in the same tourney on Sunday for around 4.8k. I hope the run good can continue the rest of the month and into the WSOP circuit in New Albany at the beginning of next month. I plan to take off until Sunday where I'll be playing a few tournaments while watching football all day.

Notre Dame beat down on Purdue Saturday in a game that wasn't as close as the score indicated. They have another big game this Saturday against Michigan. Michigan beat up UCONN pretty good and the game has me a little nervous. I'm sure it will be a dogfight to win. That about sums it up, GO IRISH!
