First Quarter of 2010 in the Books

I made a bet against a well known poker pro who said I wouldn’t have $1 million in cashes in 2010, I even got laid odds slightly.

So far, I’m a little ahead of pace with $287,782. Although, I did play a lot of big buy-in tourneys so far this year. I still like my side of the bet and am hoping to have hit $1 million in cashes before the WSOP even kicks off.

The few small POY year bets are not going too bad for me, although out of the five cashes I have this year, only one of them counted towards the Cardplayer POY (sigh).

As for the goals that I made for 2010, I abandoned one of them already. Number 3 – “I am trying to ration the amount of times I drink alcohol, and am going to limit myself to drinking a maximum of 40 times for the whole year. I figure that a little less than once a week seems reasonable.”

I think this was an unrealistic and also just downright dumb goal. My intentions were good, but the practical application of this is just not +ev, if you will.

I found myself trying not to waste my “drinking” days having a beer at dinner or glass of wine and then would make sure I “got my money’s worth” if I was going to be using a drinking day.

So I would end up only drinking 4-5 days in a month, but getting hammered on those days. I decided it’s much better for me to just try not to get hammered very much and not worry too much about enjoying a beer or two here and there.

As for winning a WSOP bracelet, I haven’t had the opportunity yet. A WPT title, I was deep in LAPC, but bubbled  and didn’t crack the top 100. I’m not quite on pace to make $1.5 million dollars, not close to the top 25 for cardplayer POY (278th), and have not put in almost any volume of cash games online this year.

As for my goal to work out 75 days for the year, I’m also way behind on this too, with only 8 days of workouts so far.

Ready for the good parts? My stable has been doing very well for me this year. One of my horses cleared makeup, hitting a nice 6 figure score for me (my first ever staking), along with a bunch of other nice scores from some of the other guys.

And I saved the best part for last!!! The love of my life and I are back together for good! When I wrote the blog asking whether poker players can have normal relationships … this is the girl I was referring to.

We are back together and better than ever. We are both putting a lot of effort into our relationship and that’s what it’s going to take for us to make it work. We both know how much we love each other and that we only want to be with one another. I’m very happy that things are going so well between us.

Right now I am actually in London, I left Florida Sunday night to come here for a few days to do some commercial shooting for Pokerstars. Before I left, I spent 4 straight days with my girl in which we pretty much never left each other’s site and I enjoyed it so much.

I’m really looking forward to seeing her in a few days when I get home before heading up to Mohegan Sun for the next NAPT stop. I will then be heading to San Remo and Monte Carlo for the last 2 EPTs of the season.

FUN FUN! Feels good to write this blogpost, sorry for being so lazy lately guys. I think I’m going to buy a recorder to start doing more video blogs, because those are much easier and fun to do.

Later!

Off to Indiana

In my last blogpost I mentioned how I was going to be heading to Vegas to play the last two events at the Wynn Classic. Unfortunately, those events didn’t go so well for me.

I busted the $2k a few hours in, and the $5k main. I lasted a long time but busted well short of the money midway into Day 2.

I decided to chill in Vegas for a couple days and just fly to Indiana from there, instead of heading home first. I went out for St. Patty’s Day which was absolutely crazy. A bunch of us went to a buddy’s house and started drinking at like 11 am.

We went down to Oshea’s on the strip around 2 pm and partied down there for a while. Luckily I had a day to recover from that day of partying before having to get on a flight today.

I learned my lesson when I left Florida to come to Vegas. I somehow thought that it was a good idea to go out and party the night before my 7 am flight to. I was just going to either stay up all night or pass out for a couple hours before leaving for the airport at 5:30 am.

I ended up passing out at like 3 or 3:30 in the morning and barely making my flight. I was sooooo miserable on the flight, hungover and sick to my stomach. It was one of the worst trips ever and I definitely learned my lesson. I will not ever get on a flight with very little sleep and after drinking. That combination is too lethal.

This is the last WPT that I’ll be playing until after the World Series. I’m hoping to get a win here! After this, I’ll be home for a little bit before NAPT Mohegan Sun and then the trip for EPT San Remo and EPT Monte Carlo. Then SCOOP then WSOP!!!

Uh Oh! It’s time to put the computer away, landing in a bit. Pe@ce!

Skipped Tunica, Off to LA

It’s my last day home, in Florida, for at least a month. Tomorrow night I’ll be off to Los Angeles to start my reign of terror on the west coast.

I’ll be in LA for 9 days playing a bunch of 1k prelims. I have played basically no poker since busting the Borgata main event.

I had a flight booked for Sunday morning to go to Tunica, having booked it long before I realized it was Super Bowl Sunday. I didn’t really feel like going to Tunica and sitting there in a hotel all alone to watch the Super Bowl.

After figuring out there was no practical plan to get there the morning of the event, I decided to bag the trip and just post up for a couple more days at home.

I watched the Super Bowl with my family which was a lot of fun, ate wayyyyy too much food. I only booked two small bets both of which I lost.

I took tails on the coin toss- it was heads. Then made a bet with Scott Clements – I had the colts to win, he had the Saints.

If I won, I would get 80$ in equity of him in a live tournament of my choice, but because I lost I have to give him 100$ in equity in whatever live tournament he chooses that I am in. I will probably win whichever one he picks, which I’ll be fine with lol.

I have only played 2 online tournaments since coming home, one-tabled the Sunday Million during the Superbowl- no good there. And I just got 2^nd in a NAPT satty on stars which was awarding one package- AK cant beat Q5 for the seat. L

O well, looking forward to getting back to the live grind ASAP.

Next blog will probably be after I ship first event I play in LA.
