Excerpt: After my fun weekend vacation at Coachella, I got back to the daily grind this past week. This ‘grind’ will continue up until two weeks before the World Series. Right now, I feel like its poker’s version of the playoffs. I might’ve covered this in an earlier blog but it really is. With the EPT & WPT championships closing out each of their respective years and then the FTOPS & SCOOP back-to-back it’s a lot of poker crammed into a little over a month. Once this finishes there’s a quick two week break and after that it’s straight into the…

Excerpt: It’s been a minute since I last blogged and this past weekend I was lucky enough to get to go to Coachella. For anyone who does not live in California or is not that into music, it is a 3-day music festival near Palm Springs in a town called Indio. I was planning on going to it since the lineup was announced but as of last Monday, tickets were sold out. Because I love to procrastinate, it got me into trouble this time. The tickets were already fairly expensive at $345 a pop but as soon as it sold out,…

Excerpt: Last week Katie, Amit, Trishelle, & I went on a 3-day vacation to Reno, Nevada for a charity tournament. The organization putting together the charity tournament was the Jimmy V Foundation and if you’ve never heard of them, you should definitely google the name, Jimmy Valvano. He was a basketball coach who took a Cinderella team, NC State, to a national championship but unfortunately succumbed to cancer years later. ESPN endorses the foundation and it is cancer research group. Anyways, on our one hour flight from LA to Reno we were able to get some drinks in. The flight attendant…

Excerpt: So this week I’m going to be doing things a bit different. Instead of an entire blog dedicated to my past week I’m doing a photo blog. I’m going to post a photo of a moment in my life that was quite memorable and discuss it. Maybe, I’ll keep doing this more ‘cause I have some amazing pictures. So on to the picture. Many of you might recognize who that is in the foreground, Isaac Haxton, one of the best poker players in the world. It was the $40,000 buyin at the 2009 WSOP, the first event of the some-odd 60…

Excerpt: Last week I played the Los Angeles Poker Classic main event at Commerce Casino also referred to as the LAPC. Even in a faltering economy people came out of the woodworks for this event for a total of 745 players. That’s pretty remarkable for a $10,000 event. As well, there were tons of satellite winners unlike previous WPTs of the past year. Full Tilt, Ultimate Bet, and Party Poker were all running satellites to the event and that helped a lot in making the field a bit bigger. It reminded me of the good ole days before the UIGEA bannings…

Excerpt: A few weeks back I was in Tampa for a Deepstacks University poker boot camp. It was my first experience at one of these and after all was said and done, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was really cool to meet all the students when they first came to the camp and watch them progress over the weekend. It reminded me of what it was like when I was first learning the game. There were some people who played online regularly but felt like something was amiss. Some people who were basic thinkers who knew little more than the starting…
