Admittedly I’m a little behind on this, but I haven’t blogged in a while so I figured that I should probably do that. One of my long time poker buddies and IRL friend, Matt Giannetti has made the November Nine! For those of you unfamiliar with him (3rd from the left in the white UT hat), he was known on stars as hazards21 back in the good old days and played the highest games available tangling w ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/2fouroffsuit/73321-November-Nine-">(continued)</a>
Today was my first WSOP Event. I think writing a recap of every event will help me better remember the summer and also find good strategy points to talk about. Pot’Limit Hold’em is an interesting game. Half of the dealers had no clue how to calculate the pot size and about 20% could do it instantly. It’s a game that’s different in many respects from a standard NLHE Tournament. To be hon ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/jjyykk/69751-Event-15-1500-Pot-Limit-Hold-Em">(continued)</a>
Hey guys, These past few weeks have been a real struggle. I went up to Monterey, CA about two weeks ago and badly mangled my knee while running. Unfortunately, with the lack of knee stability, I have been lightly spraining feet, ankles, and my lower back. It’s been a veritable potpourri of different ailments. While bedridden, I managed to record a new series ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/jjyykk/69671-Big-Day-My-first-WSOP-Event-and-my-first-DC-Video-is-Posted-">(continued)</a>
It’s almost that time of year. Now more than ever I’m looking forward to the buzz of the WSOP. I’ve gone for 3 straight years, but this year will be different. Without the ability to play online, this feels like a last hurrah of sorts. Who knows how things will shake out, but I’m looking forward to playing live, feeling the excitement in the Amazon room, playing the Triple Draw event, the DC home gam ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/tecmosuperbowl/68561-WSOP-">(continued)</a>

Pokerstars has decided to process refunds to all of the US players which is quite nice for all of us. I will now have a small live BR to start with when I have the chance to travel to my local casino for some NLHE. I played some hands on CAKE today. I am sticking to .02-.04 FR LHE for the time being and I have moved my BR up to $2.76 which brings me to 69 BBs at that level. I was p ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/figaro3000/66091-Quick-update-a-little-background">(continued)</a>
<span style=“font-weight:bold;”>The Irish Poker Awards at this weekend’s IPO in Dublin was a good way to book end my first year in poker as a full time player. Of course the calendar year end is still a couple of months away but for me this does feel like a nice way to mark this chapter in my poker career and hopefully to look forward to a more successful year in 2011. The new WSOP main eve ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/ruaction/41771-A-Good-First-Year">(continued)</a>
So today I was playing some deep-stacked Mixed Games on Full Tilt when Jeremiah Smith (a professional poker player and sponsored by Full Tilt) sat at my table. Jeremiah is to my knowledge a cash-game player mainly and so you probably don’t know who he is but he made a deep run of the main event a few years ago and hosts PokerRoad’s Cash Plays podcast. Anyway, there have actu ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/frieswithdatt/34731-Playing-With-The-Pros-I">(continued)</a>
My journey to Vegas got off to an inauspicious start as I struggled to make my way from Mile End to Heathrow in time for my early morning flight to Las Vegas. I was up by 5 o’clock, but the simple fact was that I hadn’t allowed enough time to get from one side of London to the other. In particular, Acton Town to Heathrow seemed a lot shorter (an inch between thumb and forefinger) than it actually ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/ruaction/34191-A-week-at-the-Wynn">(continued)</a>
Yea, that was a while ago. It turns out it is difficult for me to grind out blog posts on a regular basis, unless there are particularly interesting or notable things happening  and i’m in a blogging mood (see: my last post when I saw a ridiculous blunder on ESPN’s WSOP broadcast). But I’ll see if I can’t try and up the output a little bit, because I know you kids like to r ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/djsensei/33471-Hey-remember-that-time-I-blogged-a-lot-">(continued)</a>
Just back from a short trip from the crazy city that is Amsterdam.. Had a crazy time even though I dont remember most of it but was good to get away and relax and just chill. The sickest thing was that I stayed across the road from the Holland Casnio but felt to resist the temptation to go play poker with the Dutch as a) I was on holiday with my gf and ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/howmuchyougotleft/30911-Back-From-Amsterdam-Lack-of-Motivation-To-Play-Online-">(continued)</a>
Tuesday was the day of my first tournament, the 2500PLO. Having won about that much playing cash games the day before, I was effectively freerolling, which is an excellent way to play tournaments with sizeable buyins. My starting table was full of unknowns, though most were younger and American, so perhaps it wasn’t the best draw. I went ahead and cashed in my rebuy chips immediately, since the pla ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/djsensei/29151-WSOP-Trip-1-day-2">(continued)</a>
Hi folks.. back in the UK after short vegas wsop trip. I was out there from 1st June to the 8th June… All I can say was WHAT A CRAZY TRIP!!!!! Was staying at the belligio for the most part and was probably averaging 3-4 sleep max per day. I play mostly cash games and they did not disapoint. the 5/5 plo action in the RIO was a ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/howmuchyougotleft/28541-Vegas-WSOP-Trip-Sick-Action-Playing-With-Phil-Lack-During-His-Endurance-Challenge-">(continued)</a>
I arrived in Vegas around noon, semi-planning to play the 2500 6MNL event today, but decided I’d be better off just relaxing, playing some cash games, and preparing to crush the 2500 PLO event tomorrow. So, I did just that. After a large lunch with Tom (tecmo) and his special lady at the Rio’s world buffet, I headed to the Rio’s poker room to play some cash games. My first 4 hands were at a shortha ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/djsensei/28341-WSOP-Trip-1-Day-1">(continued)</a>
Just wanted to say that I’ll be flying out to Vegas in 14 hours! Â You can follow me on twitter (tecmosuperbowl) as I’ll try to update some various things on there. I’ll be playing mostly cash, but will also be entering my first WSOP donkament! Tis a bitter sweet trip for me as I know I’m going to miss my puppy a great deal.

Well, one thing is for damn sure… I’m a head over shoulders a much better playing than I used to be. Of course, that’s obvious, and to be expected when getting coached by one of the best in the business, but I guess I just didn’t realize how bad I was before! When Baluga first met me, I had been playing live and winning consistently at $1-$2 and$1-$3, but I’d never really t ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/snaptress/26271-A-Look-Back-at-My-Coaching">(continued)</a>
Ahh The month of May is over. Was an up and down month for me. Firstly I decided to spend more time playing more hands and over the last 2 weeks been playing 200 and 100 plo. Im not going to lie its been pretty tough. When I was not playing much hands I think I was able to focus more and be more fresh and also just fully focus on one table.

I’ve been thinking about going to Vegas this summer. My brother, who recently moved far, far away from will be going to play in a $1500 event at the WSOP , so I wanted to go rail him some, and of course, play a ton of poker myself. I really can’t afford to go, but what the heck. I can always tighten my belt after I get back. When I go to Vegas I try to go as cheaply as possible. As long as I ge ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/i-say-nay-nay/24271-Vegas-baby-">(continued)</a>
Finally decided on the place. It’s not everything I’d hoped for—a bit far from Bellagio, no pool—but it’s within our price range and it’s the right size. Here are a few pictures!
I’ve already written a little about my experience with 2 Months 2 Million I could probably write an entire book on what is was like to be out there for just four days, but for now I’ll just stick with a few stories. I basically stopped playing poker about a year ago. After four years of serious playing, I just got inhumanly sick of downswings, frustrating sessions, and the thousand nat ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/j-mac/2771-The-Fremont-Street-Experience">(continued)</a>
I know what you’re asking yourself after reading the first 2 trip reports (if anybody actually did read them haha). Did Tecmo actually play any poker while in Vegas? Yes, in fact, I did. Here’s me (black hoodie, white earphone hanging down) rockin it at the 2/5 NLHE tables at the Rio. You can’t see him, but 2fouroffsuit is sitting at the very next table and he can vouch for me :) (Als ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/tecmosuperbowl/263-Vegas-Trip-Report-3">(continued)</a>
So after we get some sleep, we wake up Thursday and hit up Pokernews/Cardplayer to see what’s going on down at the Wasop. Turns out Phil Ivey is going to be at the final table of the 2-7 Lowball event. I post on DC saying that I’ll be sweating if anyone wants to stop by. We grab a bite and head off. By the time we get there (about 30 min after the final table started) somehow 4 of the 7 p ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/tecmosuperbowl/258-Vegas-Trip-Report-2">(continued)</a>
June 2008 My friends and I are in Vegas for the WSOP . We aren’t ballin enough to actually play in the WSOP events, but we still manage to play in at least 10 different tournaments during our week here. We have played at various casinos, including the Orleans which has the best structure imo, with the average buyin being around $100. It’s our last night in Sin City and we decide to play a $2 ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/tecmosuperbowl/10-Sheiky-Bastard">(continued)</a>
