Venetian 5k Tourney Report
*Archived; click post title to view.
Excerpt: I’ve been a busy boy lately. Since I last blogged, I played the NAPT in Vegas at the Venetian and the LAPC in Los Angeles. On top of these tourneys and my hectic past few months, I’ll be going to San Jose for the Bay 101 Shooting Star tournament. While the LAPC is the biggest WPT, I’d say Bay 101 is the most unique. There are 50 Shooting Stars with a $5,000 bounty on their heads. Furthermore, once you reach the money it goes from 9 handed to 6 handed for the duration of the tournament. That’s a pretty cool…
The Biggest Pot I Ever Played
*Archived; click post title to view.
Excerpt: I’ve had an eventful couple of weeks. I’ve been in 4 different states and as we speak—well, as we type, I’m en route to Tampa for the 2nd time in two weeks for a Deepstacks University poker camp. It’s the first camp I’ve done so it should be pretty interesting. The few experiences I’ve had with teaching poker, I felt like I’ve done it fairly well. Before the camp, I was in Borgata for a $3500 tourney. It’s remarkable how big the fields are in Atlantic City. It seems almost as if AC and Los Angeles are the two most populous…
No Stop In Sight
*Archived; click post title to view.
Excerpt: Hey buddies. I’m currently in the midst of bouncing around different cities and there’s pretty much no stop in sight. When I moved to LA in August, the plan was to stay there and seldom travel. But then, I made the mistake of getting the live poker bug again. Damn you Foxwoods final table! Mix that in with some Deepstacks.com seminars in Tampa and it becomes a lot of time away from LA. Here’s a rundown of the past few months: It started December 9th in Vegas for Five Diamond Classic. Stayed there until the 18th, went back to LA for…
Aruba >>> Bahamas
*Archived; click post title to view.
Excerpt: Well, I’m back from the Bahamas and what normally is one of my favorite weeks of the year but this year, the PCA was lackluster. The weather was subpar and everything was super expensive. Without the great weather, I’d rather just stay in the US and go to some resort for a week. It would surely be less expensive. After having been to Aruba and Bahamas, Aruba is the king of the exotic island poker destinations. Congrats Aruba! After the PCA I chilled in Fort Lauderdale for 3 days, saw some camp friends, spent time with my parents, and just…
The Bahamas
*Archived; click post title to view.
Excerpt: This year my Bahamas experience was different than any of the other four years I’ve gone–the weather wasn’t good. Although it is all relative. 70 degrees, cloudy, and 10mph winds really isn’t the end of the world. But in the Bahamas that’s just unacceptable! So for the most part, I stayed inside. I brought my brother this year—well, I shouldn’t really say that. He won the seat this year so technically he brought me, which was kind of cool considering how often I’ve taken him on trips. He brought his best friend Jesse as well so it was a good…

Excerpt: Right now I’m sitting in the beautiful sun sipping on tasty Bahama Mama’s while writing this blog . Gotta blog in style! It’s been a good past two weeks and I hope everone had a great New Year’s! I surely did. I just got here yesterday for the Poker Stars Carribbean Adventure. It’s a huge tourney and at a great locale but Aruba still kicks this tourney’s butt! How can you top Phil’s Penthouse Party?!?!? I’m playing tomorrow but today I’ll just be chillin’ out maxin’ out shootin’ some bball. Really, it’s not just a quote from Fresh Prince, I’m…
Year in Review 2009 and 2010 Goals
*Archived; click post title to view.
Excerpt: Since this is my last blog of the year, it seems fitting for me to make goals for the new year. Generally I’m not that big on New Year’s resolutions but this year is different. There really are so many things I need to improve on but first this past year was my best year ever. January started off with my usual trip to the Bahamas for the PCA. I didn’t fare so well in the tourneys but it’s the freakin’ Bahamas. I mean, how bad can it be? In February I had my biggest score ever (2nd in the $5k…
My Recent Vegas Trip
*Archived; click post title to view.
Excerpt: Just got back from Las Vegas Saturday night. This particular Vegas trip was definitely my favorite in a long, long time. When you live in Vegas, it kind of loses it’s luster but when you visit, you get to go to those awesome clubs, restaurants, and tourist spots you took for granted as a resident. I went for the Five Diamond Classic at the Bellagio. Played 4 tourneys, all of which did not turn out well or you most definitely would’ve heard about it. I went deep in the $1k rebuy but sputtered out right before the money at the…
A Week In the Life…
*Archived; click post title to view.
Excerpt: I really enjoyed this past week. Monday I went with Amit and Trishelle to Capital City to watch the Saints/Pats game. Capital City is this new sports bar that just opened up that is the sports bars to end all sports bars. Well, at least Hollywood sports bars. It’s got a clubbish feel to it while still having tons and tons of HDTVs adorning the walls. There’s an outside bar for the smokers, an upstairs with personal couches for private parties, an inside bar, and the restaurant part of the bar. It’s just a great spot and blows any other…
