Success in Poker

Well I haven't updated my blog in forever and have shown a lack of ability to find time to update it even when i'm around.  I enjoy the concept of it but like an assignment note pad in school, I never seem to be able to track my daily thoughts or projects.  Hopefully one day I will be able to get it done on a weekly basis at least but for now it will continue to be sparatic at best i'm sure.

Two weeks ago I finally was able to break through online and hit the sunday score i've been striving for online since i started with this game.  I chopped the Sunday Million for 170k three handed, in the end losing HU for the win.   http://www.pokerstars.tv/poker-video-8688-online-action-2.html?channel_id=93 It was a crazy ride but went down about how I thought it would if I ever was to make a run in the tournament.  I was on the shorter side of chips till we reached 100 or so left when I was able to win some key hands and then had the CL from prob 70-30 range, where I hit a road block with KK to AA late putting me in the 20bb range with 3 tables to go.  I wasn't upset at the time because like in any mtt things are going to go how they go, if they go positively or negatively, you have to take it in stride and know it will come again if it doesn't work out in the present.  I slipped to 15 bb or so and found my way to the final 18 where I dont think I broke 25bb and fell to 7 or 8 bb at times. Once again I managed to get though and things worked out and I came into the FT in 9th position and 9 bb.  I had gone most of the distance finally, but clearly the glory is not in 9th at the FT.  The first hand I was very lucky to double through Flush entity with A2cc vs his 1010.  I still have the image of the 6 of clubs hitting the flop in my head and just thinking if this is how its going to happen its not going to be that AAAAA.  The board couldn't have rolled out any smoother, 8c, 10c.  A big smile, fist pump, and on to the next hand.

Table draw was decent, but still a mix of good regs as well making it a challenge to close the tournament out.  Dfish, ZBThornton, flush entity, and Arbella all were names I had played with before.  Everyone was about even in chips except for the CL who I would have to rewatch ft to remember at the time.  I never was able to get rolling at the FT to where I could apply pressure or be a force that a big stack can give, but managed to find my way to the end after it was all said and done. Play dictated itself and situations arose that led to payjumps and before I knew it we were 3 handed talking about a chop in the Sunday Flagship.  The chop discussion was something I probably lost money on long term, with ZBThornon getting a great deal for the most money based on his stack, Arbella and I on even 18bb stacks and blinds going up in the next two hands made it a very tough and close decision on what I wanted to do.  I asked close friends who I greatly respect and hand been in the situation before on what they thought was the best plan of action money wise.  In the end it came down to how big of an edge I thought I had between the 3 of us, which I thought was pretty close and settled on the starts proposed deal. Locking up the extra 35k as proposed to falling in 3rd place or moving onto second or winning outright was very important for me financially and my future.  There was still 30k to play for first and winning it would give me a 200k score,  I felt most comftorable with the decision at the time, and winning would satisfy any mental regrets of not chopping.  Also having a 100% of my action factored in as well and would have probably leaned me in the other direction of playing it out.

As it goes, ZBT and arbella instantly went at it 3handed based on hands dealt and left Arbella and I HU for the Sunday million.  Pretty exciting stuff looking back at it but I've always known my time would come if I continued to put in the effort and work of improving for a moment like this.  I doubled early in the HU match but after that never could mount anything due to hand selection HU.  It was very frustrating knowing that i've played enough HU to close these situations but after watching the replay I feel it even if I had played a hand or two differently it would have been incredibly hard to win out based on Arbella's hands.  I credit Arbella for playing very well HU and the whole FT, and hopefully I will get another shot in the future to redeem myself in closing out an event like the Sunday Million.  This was big though, no other way to put it.  I have played unbacked as long as i've been playing online having to pass on many events I felt I had a good edge in due to bankroll management and grinding out cash games weekely to balance to MTT variance that can be brutal as we all know sometimes.  It has been incredibly frustrating at times but if you continue to push at the top levels, good things will happen in the long run I feel.  I'm lucky enough to be friends with some incredibly talented MTT players, Dave, tyson, tyler and many others, which no doubt have pushed me to where I am today.  The biggest influence on my game has to be my good friend JBT449 who has basically made me into the tournament player I am today, incredibly bright and is the perfect example of how there are so many different levels that most players aren't close to being at and what it takes to try to get there.  Thanks for everything man.

I haven't played much online since the score.  I traveled out to LA where the LAPC that thursday to stay with some friends who were at the series.  I played a satty to the main and two days of cash out there, along with a Sunday online.  Overall the trip was a slight loser with flight included, but very enjoyable to be with friends i haven't seen in a year and enjoy the flexibility poker has always given me.  I'm back home in MA now, and have been pretty busy the last few days so prepping myself for a good few days of poker is a much coming up.  It is my GF's 25th Bday tomorrow, who I also want to thank for help turning me into what i'm becoming as a player as well.  She has always believed in me and that goes a long way confidence wise when someone is always there when things aren't going well.  She's the best. We are going on a Party bus this weekend in Boston with about 30 friends so that should be a blast as everyone usually lets go for that hahha.  Other than that, poker will be back in focus very soon and trying to build on the recent success to make 2011 a very sucessfull year.

I am going to continue playing cash games and testing out new levels such as 3/6 and 5/10 which i have played very limited online.  These levels are extremely tough now a days and probably will invest in a coach to become a sucessful winner in these games and progress toward the goal of 25/50 one day.  It is going to take even more work to be successful at these leveles now because the players are that much better and all trying to progress forward as well so it should be very interesting ride ahead.  If anyone has recommendations of very successful 3/6 or 5/10nl/plo + coaches it would be much appreciated as i've been looking at 2+2 along with here and other sites for one that would best fit me and my style already.  Best of luck all, thanks for reading.

November 9 eh

I assume your only reading this blog if you know the winner of the 2010 WSOP was crowned last night...  Jonathan Duhamel came out victorious last night over John Racener in a pretty easy HU victory holding a massive chip advantage the entire time.  Watching the match hu just a small reminder of why I will continue to push to play these WSOP events each year hopefully and break through with a bracelet victory in the coming years.  I was lucky enough to experience a 4th place finish and the incredible ride that comes along with coming that close to a bracelet in my first year and watching the FT yest brought back memories like it was yesterday.  Pretty awesome to play for that much money in the game/competition/sport I love playing and do for a profession.  I feel lucky.  I have great family, friends, and have a job that I love and have since I started this ride.  I have the ability to be as flexible with my schedule as I would like for the most part, and though this year hasn't gone financially how I would have liked I think I've made a lot of progess with myself and poker game which was definitely a big goal I had at the beginning of this year.  I wont go onto a huge explanation of this now, ill save it for one of my last posts of 2010, but I feel very confident about how I need to approach the game mentally which is something i've been searching for balance wise since I began playing.  It might not be ideal, but for now I'll trust myself and try to finish the year strong with the mentality i've developed.

In the last 30 days or so I have stayed pretty busy poker wise.  I was down at Foxwoods for the WPT prelims up till the main which was out of reach this time around.  The trip was very unproductive poker wise as have been many of my live experiences this year unlike last where all i basically saw was success.   It is a great learning experience, showing me a better example of the variance associated with playing larger buyins and what balance I am going to need money wise to play these events, cash games, and balance the total funds needed to go on these type of trips yearly.  I have a much better idea about it playing on my own money as well compared to being backed for these trips last year.  The goal is to stay unbacked but to truly continue playing a few live circuit series a year I am going to have to push myself harder to be more successufl online where I spend the majority of my time.  I have definitely battled with this the last 2-3 months after the WSOP so hopefully things come to fruition the rest of 2010.

I've also come to the conclusion that i've let myself go physically enough and decided to get in better shape as long as my back holds up during the process.  I'm not out of shape by any means, and play in a mens hockey league weekly still, but that is not where I would like to be by any means.  The advantages of getting in better shape are clear to most, helps the body physically, mentally, and makes you feel better in general.  It takes much more motivation than even I have thought trying in the past, but when your office is in the next room over from the living room, it is extremely easy to slip and miss a workout.  I don't have a specific workout routine in order yet, but would like to finish 2010 with a similar work ethic in comparison to poker. 

Hopefully next time I post again things will be on the up and up.  Best of luck all.

WCOOP time

Long time since my last blog, things have been very slow poker wise.   No big scores to talk about, life has been extremely busy tho.  I moved into a new house in Newton, Ma.  Its a 3 lvl house, my gf and rent out the middle lvl but it is very nice and a big upgrade from our last apt.  Its a 2 bedroom, with a nice kitchen, large living room, office for myself to play in, and a nice porch outside.   The area is much quieter than living in the middle of Brighton and fire trucks coming through at all hours of the day.  Overall i'm very happy with how it all worked out, it should be a great place to live some time to come.

The WCOOP has begun, i'm very excited as this is the series i've been waiting to put the most volume into for some time.  I finally have time to play online without much other obligations in my personal life, and can really make a run toward having a successful year online.  I'm going to be logging a lot of hours, mixing cash games, sattelites, and WCOOP main events along with dailys.  I have never really felt the same lure to play ftops or uboc events online, im not sure why other than that I just enjoy playing on stars that much more than the two other sites.   It should be a great month online regardless of how results turn out, as long as I stay sharp each day, play elite poker, and to cap things win a big event this month. 

Goals:   To win a mtt 10k+, Win 5k+ in cash games,   cash 4+ WCOOPS,  Make a WCOOP Final table, Stay focused each day.  The last one is probably the easiest to accomplish because its in my control, but that will involve me being rested, keeping track of my progress, and working as hard as I did the day before to do things better than I have been.   It all sounds great in theory, but it needs to happen to have those goals work out. 

Cheers,

Glenn

Vegas trip booked

I already knew I was heading out on the 13th to stay at the RIO with jbt449 but had yet to book my ticket till tonight.  It's out of the way now and i'm ready to roll for the summer basically.  I am thrilled to be heading back out west and make some big runs this summer.  I'm coming off a successful Foxwoods trip where i chopped a 550$ for 25k after multiple bricks on trips to LA, foxwoods, and NY.  It was about as good timing gets for me and I plan on working extremely hard out there to have as success full a trip as possible.  My goal for now is to have a 50k+ trip out there, its going to take a lot to go right but if variance can come my way along with me playing my A game the entire trip, i think its very doable.  I have my WSOP events lined up, basically the 1ks and 1500s along with the 2500 6max the day after i get in.  I still need to win a Main event seat which i told myself I would do before the end of the week so hopefully by Sunday I can win one through stars.  

I'm back in New Hampshire tonight to see my family and watched the Celtics play very poorly and get run over by the lakers tonight.  I still think they will win the series but need to shoot the ball far better, stay out of foul trouble, and spread the floor on offence much better,  I think this is as close a series team wise the finals have seen in a while so i hope it can live up to it.  Seeing everyones updates on facebook or recognizing names on wsop updates makes me want to get out there to start focusing quite a bit.  This WSOP is going to be big for me, I need to maintain my focus going into it in the upcoming week by working out, staying sharp and building on the confidence I have going into the series.

Heading back to Boston tomorrow, playing basketball downtown with my buddy jim then hopping on the train back home to have a fun night with good friends who I haven't been able to see in about 2 weeks.  My Gf and I will have them over for drinks and beruit/beer pong and enjoy the night from there.  Saturday i'll probably play some cash and satellites during the day then head out for a good dinner at Fire and Ice downtown.  From there no plans, but I wouldn't mind catching a movie or something chill since were going to do the heavy drinking tomorrow lol.  Sunday I think it would be great to get a round of Golf in with some friends that are interested and then be back for early for the Sunday warmup, but that is very optomistic.  Till then have a good weekend everyone!

June is here/Updates

Wow it's already June first!  Can't believe the year is going by so quickly...  I've been extremely busy away from the table, I attended my brothers graduation two weekends ago for a few days at the University of Vermont, then headed from there to Florida with my girlfriend me meet one of my best friends and his gf down in Marco island for a 5 day trip.  It was really awesome and was great to take a break from poker for so long before I devote a ton of time to the game for the WSOP this summer.  Before I get to the WSOP ill just give a few details about the trip since it was so fun. 

My buddy James's family had a house for us to stay at so the housing was taken care of price wise which you can't beat!  They also had a car down there already so we didn't have to worry about that as well.  Each day was very similar but in a good/relaxing way.   We would wake up around 10ish pack the cooler and beach things and head across the street to the ocean where we would settle into a day full of drinks, sun, and ocean water all day.  The sun took its toll on my body throughout the trip with my irish skin getting a savage sunburn but I more than made the most out of it there and ended up with as good a tan as i've had in years.  Each night we woulod head out eat at a seaside restaurant which weren't cheap but were beautiful and hard to replicate view wise on the east coast here.  We took a boat cruise one night which was like our own private yacht since only 8 others showed up for the dinner cruise.  We got to see some dolphins and some rediculous houses along the way while getting to enjoy a really nice sunset on the ocean which when you get the chance to see is just beautiful.  It was a great trip and a lot of fun to go on vacation with a good friend like that, and can't wait to do it again once we all save up again! 

We got back in on Saturday night after a ton of trouble with the airport delaying our flghts throughout the day, but made it back to Boston in one piece around 10pm.  I got a much needed workout in on Sunday before all of the majors began which was much needed since my best physical workout in Florida consisted of me tossing the football around between all of the drinks and sun each day.  It felt great to get the workout in ( I never workout on weekends),  I usually will head out fri and sat night to have a bit to many drinks and have fun with my buddies who work all week and feel pretty withered come Sunday morning to drag myself to workout even though its like a quarter mile down the road.  I think it definitely can affect my mindset in a much more positive way instead of just cracking an energy drink open each Sunday where im comitting the most of my roll each week in hope of a big score.   I had to tone it down a little this Sunday since my results just haven't been there online basically in forever it seems.  There is so much variance in these things without proper volume sometimes its tough to see how long it can go on.  But without any scores over 15k in over a year online im disapointed definitely with how things have gone.  Positives though, i'm still unbacked and play cash and mid/high stakes MTTS consistantly.  I haven't had to push my roll to the point where I would look to be backed, Unbacked live and am going to vegas for the WSOP unbacked unlike last year.  No questions it is frustrating to watch many of my good friends be able to play whichever events they would like to online, but almost all are involved in some sort of makeup deal, which is great because many of them have hit scores that can suffice them for a long time :) I really trust how I play though, I know it surely isn't perfect but it has produced good results for me over my career and if I can hit a huge score online or live again then things will be in really good shape for my life.  I'm just trying to be patient and by next year I will be able to be as flexible as i'd like with tournament buyin choices and possibly stake a player or two.  Ramble over, theme is just win and win more.

 Back to Sunday, I ended up heading over to my buddy JBT449s house which is the next town over to play this Sund.  I'll be staying with him in Vegas this summer from the 13th to the Main Event., which i'll win a seat for by this weekend, mark it down...  We'll be at the Rio since we couldn't get the house thing together with others for that.  I'm fine with it, staying in a hotel for that long isn't ideal but I did it last year for the LAPC.  I'll be able to play a lot more cash because of this, which is a definite + since going unbacked im going to be building on the side in cash games.  I'm going to be playing HU a lot more before I head out there because I feel like that is going to be the best way to stay sharp on each aspect of my game before heading out there.  As far as experience goes for some who don't know much about me, I got 4th in a 1500$ wsop last summer and was able to gain a lifetime of experience playing almost every NLH and a few fixed events last summer in vegas.  Being a year older at 24, I feel like i've been going out there for years to play these events because the amount of knowledge i gained last year with the volume I played in my month there.  The first event I'll be playing is the $2500 6 max when i get out there, and i'll be playing mostly 1ks, 1500s, venetian deep stacks, and lots of cash along the way.  Looking forward to this greatly, I will be selling pieces throughout the series so if anyone can help with a fourm to sell pieces at or where I can garner interest, I would appreciate it a lot if you could PM me or direct me to the fourm for this. 

http://www.pokerpages.com/player-profile/glenn-mccaffrey.htm

As far as today goes, heading to workout since im the slowest writer ever lol, heading back home to play online for the rest of the day splitting between cash games, MTTS, and satellites I can find for the Main.  Good luck to all and thanks to whomever took the time to read this long post :)  I'm the one on the right, GL everyone...

Foxwoods 560$ Deepstack chop :)

Well, finally after a month of not updating because of a lack of progress results wise, some good news is here! I ended up chopping the 560$ deepstack for 25k after a 3 way chop with another player getting 25k and the cl getting 41k. The blinds got pretty absurd going to 50/100k with the stacks 1.1mil for me 1.3 for the other opponent and 5 mill for the CL. Each player had a strong idea of how to play shorthanded so chopping seemed reasonable with 11bb. I turned down a chop 6 handed with them offering me a pretty good deal of 27k with the cl but at that point I really wanted to play out the tournament and see if I could close the deal in a live tournament after finishing 3rd in the lapc and 4th at a wsop event last summer. The hands just didn’t fall into place for me when we got 4 handed. I lost a big hand with A9 where I raised from the sb and bb defended. The flop was Ac 10d 4h, check, check. Turn Ad I led 200k he flatted river came 5d I bet 525k pretty quick and was snapped by 3d7d for a rivered flush. I battled back and won a race with AK>1010 then lost 2 pots 3 handed where losing pots at showdown hurt. Overall I was extremelly happy to end up with what I got because I played nearly flawless poker the entire way.

We started with 20k in chips and 25/50, 50minute levels. At 1/200 no ante I folded KK pre for the first time in a tournament and was shown AA in hu action vs an ep raiser when I 3b the button. I busted the Main event on day 1 the exact same way, in the exact same situation, stack size etc. It felt so sick at the time, I pretty much folded after about 30 seconds of debating and showed to everyones suprise. I had history with the player and had doubled up the hand prior with QQ to starting stack so it was pretty sick to basically 3b fold kk due to his sizing. I never had chips the entire first day really and ended up getting it in behind on one of the last hands of the day. I had 15 bb effective with 10d8d where it folded to the small blind. I limped and the bb checkd. 10 5 4 two spades, i checked he fired 3k, i c/r to 11k and he shippd it in. I didnt have much history with him at this point after getting moved to the table a few orbits before. I rivered an 8 and ended day 1 with 103k in chips. Day 2 started very well as I chipped up quick and reached a peak of 720k before losing a huge hand for the CL where i opened AQo in the co and got 3b on the button before shipping it in only to get snapped by AK and he held. When we got down to 2 tables I was one of the shorter stacks and shipped it in probably 6 or 7 times without getting called to chip back up to 20 bb before losing a big race with AKh vs JJ. I then was down to 6 or 7bb where I doubled q10 o vs 88 then 44 vs AK before heading to the ft 8th in chips. I did most of the work early at the ft eliminating 3 of the first 4 players before taking the CL and being offered the chop 6 handed and declining then playing down to 3 handed.

It was a huge boost for me to get unbacked and have before vegas this summer. I still need to figure out my schedule this week but adding some financial stability after paying so much in taxes last year felt great. This is my 3rd biggest mtt score ever and all of them have been live even though I have limited experience compared to online. I really just feel the variance has been far worse for me there and def haven’t done anything besides continue a tough run lately there on pstars. Things will turn online. Tomorrow I’m going to run some errands and play a session online later. Hope all is well everyone!

A new Week

So poker has been extremely slow, downswingish the last 3 weeks or so since my win on stars. PLO 6max and hu i’ve ran extremely below avg along with making some critical mistakes along the way. 6max NL has gone right in hand with it :/ There isn’t much I can do other than try to review sessions more, make sure im making the best optimal decision when it comes to playing the hand, and continue living a happy lifestyle. I’m starting to get back into better shape, the weather is getting much nicer here in Boston, and my Men’s hockey league team is heading into the playoffs this thursday which i’m trying to win my second league title in a row.

I’ll be finishing up my taxes tomorrow hopefully, though it will suck to pay all that money it will be a nice feeling to have it off my back and taken care of. The Red Sox started up with a great win last night against the yankees, the Bruins are in a big playoff battle in the east, and the celtics seem to need to find their identity heading into the playoffs. I had a great easter with all of my family from across the country, my girlfriend and I went up to Maine to go visit all of them at my grandmas there. It was a feast saturday and sunday night and came back to reality today and need to regain some motivation and focus for working hard and continuing to push forward in poker. Hopefully things progress throughout the week. Tonight Butler plays Duke for the ncaa championship and im rooting for those butler bulldogs for sure. They have impressed me a lot and deserve to win their first national title. Have a good week all!

Back in Boston

Last week at foxwoods could have gone a lot better overall, I ended up down on the trip between cash games and the 3 tournaments I played. Not off to my hot live poker start like last year :/ Saving if for VEGAS! Overall for the trip I was in CT for 7 nights, 5 staying at foxwoods, 2 nights at the Bellisimo a few miles down the street. I played live for 6 of those nights so def put in the volume needed but just didn’t warrent any results. I felt I played my B game overall, never really got a good flow going except for one night when I won a few BI in cash. Foxwoods really hasn’t treated me great in my multiple experiences there. It’s the closest casino to where I live, just under two hours away. I had my first cash in a tourny this trip at least, 13th in a 600$ mtt there but just couldnt get anything rolling for there and wasn’t able to play the 3.5k like I would have liked too. I was hoping to build and make enough for the NAPT 5k main event at Mohegan next week but that hasn’t followed through either. I have a little bit of time the rest of the week to put something together but i’m not going to stress over it because its not worth buying into unbacked for myself yet.

Heading to workout in a little bit to get back on track. The casino truly makes me the laziest person when it comes to physical activity lol. I pretty sure the place does it for everyone, so hopefully by Vegas I’ll be in a relatively strict routine that involves a daily workout because It can only set me up for a more stable mind and body while at the table putting in lots of hours. I’ve always found it very tough to balance working out daily and playing poker full time. I’m still in decent shape and play in a Men’s Hockey league once or twice a week but probably get 2 and mabey 3 workouts in on a really good week. When im at the casino its always a big 0. Also when I go out during the week and drink or stay out late with friends I tend to be on the lazy side the next day and love relaxing to let the body recharge. I can change that, I just need to take action and make sure I workout each day MON-FRI. Its easier said than done, but I need to step up and make it happen. I’ll keep you updated if I can progress with it this week.

Also the UEFA champions league tourn begins today at 2:30est which should be a great game between Manchester United and Bayern Munich. I never played soccer competitively, always Hockey and Lacrosse, Soccer is a very exciting sport to watch with the right leagues and teams on display. European soccer is as competitive and very emotional with the passion of the fans from each team when they lineup. It can be Physical, fast, talented, and a sport when played on the highest level almost looks like an art form. It sounds redic, but truly these guys do some amazing things and the fans show you just how important each goal can be with how they celebrate each key moment. When I travel to Europe that is one of the first things on my list to do is watch a game there. I have almost 0 interest in American soccer as the talent is extremely diluted compared to the players overseas. I will be rooting heavily for the US when the world Cup comes around though! I play a good amount of FIFA 010 and the game has made me a much bigger fan of the game as well haha. Ok, off to the gym before I sit down and watch this whole game. I’ll update later this week.

Foxwoods update

Hey guys,

Today I slept in because I felt like I was starting to go on fumes trying to avoid coffee and energy drinks to see how I reacted to it the last two nights. As far as the trip goes so far, I’ve played two events so far. A $600NL and $1k NL yesterday. The 600 drew around 240 I think, don’t even remember the actual number to be honest but I made a deep run to finish in 13th for like 1588 so enough for my 1k buyin i guess. I played well and picked my spots the best I could, but turned into a disaster once we got down to two tables where I lost two key hands that left me with 10bb at 2/4k blinds and ended up with K10h in the middle vs AQo and aces. I didn’t see kings or aces the entire tournament so I was chipping up by working hard to win as many pots as I could without showdown but the older gentelmen there continued to have 1010-AA every hand it seemed. What can ya do.

Yesterday the 1k got off to an ok start. My table draw was mostly regulars it seemed but I felt pretty good about my table overall. I lost two key hands, one opening A8c on the button to a min raise at 1/200 25ante and a foxwoods regular shippd for 2400 total I relutantly called to see qq. Then called off the majority of my chips with AQo vs the weakest player at the table where I thought it was as good a spot as any for myself to accumulate chips and blinds going to 2/400 soon. He had AKo and then shipped a5o with 5bb to bust vs kk. I’ve played cash the rest of my time here at 2/5 which honestly i don’t need to talk to much about. Its pretty much a joke festival of nit regulars that think they are all the greatest. Face up poker at its finest… If I run well i’ll make 3k plus, im only up a few 100$ there over the little ive played during my two nights here so far but things can change quickly with the right table and right situations.

The 3.5k is tomorrow and my goal is to make most of that buyin today, if not i’m going to try to sell action for the event tomorrow because the structure is pretty solid actually. 30k chips/75min levels for the first day and speeds up on the other days. But I think my edge is too big not to pass up in this spot. We’ll see. Off to play cash games now for the rest of the day so hopefully next time I post I bring some positivity to my blog :)

Hope all is well everyone.

Foxwoods Poker Classic

Hey guys,

I got in last night around 6ish and checked in for the week here. I played 2/5 the majority of the night and ended up about only $250 with no real major hands to discuss. Slow night overall though for sure. 600$NL at 11am this morning so im going to grab a coffee and bite to eat and head over to register soon. Theres a 1k tomorrow and then a 3.5k on thursday or friday im not sure but i’m definitely looking to play that with the structure similar to the 10k it replaced from last year here. Off to register everyone, have a good one.
