Picking a WSOP Event

Well, I survived Toronto, which was really quite nice, and am back in NY City through New Year's. I have been playing online at FullTilt lately. In chatting with players and railbirds I have been asked to comment on a variety of topics. One topic that seems to come up often is questions about...

Year End

Well, I guess I thought I was off to Palm Springs, but it turned out that the weather would intervene. I loaded up my car and headed South on I15. I take it just into California then exit and cut across the Mojave via back roads to Palm Springs. It is really a pretty drive; you rarely see another...

Playing with Phil Hellmuth

Today was day 3 of the Bellagio 5 Diamond WPT event. The day started with 139 players with the money coming at 100. I had the chip leader Phil Hellmuth on my left who began the day with over 400,000 in chips. Things went very slowly for me and I played very few hands, slowly crawling up to...

Bellagio 5 Diamond

I played in the Bellagio 5 Diamond today. We played 5,90 minute levels in this $15,000 buy in WPT main event. Starting chips were 45,000 and blinds began at 50/100. 497 players began the day and about 375 remained at the conclusion of play. I seemed to struggle all day, never getting into a good...

Guppy Poker

I have begun a new project that I would like to talk about. Beginning this January at The Borgata in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and in partnership with The Borgata we are launching Guppy Poker, which is aimed at those wanting to learn poker and have little or no experience. Up until 5 years ago...

Picking a Good Game

So I received some interesting feedback about my "Rotten Apple" blog. I am somewhat surprised by the passion on both sides. I was just sitting in an airport lounge trying to get some things sorted out on my MacBook and I was underwhelmed, so out it came. Perhaps I was hoping someone...

Rotten Apple, So Much For "I'm a Mac and I'm a PC"

I am having trouble accepting that my time at this paradise by the sea in Belize is almost up. Now don't get me wrong I love playing poker, but this is hard to beat. The staff here is the best I have seen as far as customer service. Everyone from the concierge to the dive masters has made...

Belize

I am in Belize at a sleepy little resort about 90 miles south of Belize City on the coast. I haven't been on a non-poker related trip in quite sometime and I'm really enjoying it. I am staying in a rustic tree house, although not that rustic in that it has running water and air...

Final Table, Massage and Agua Caliente

First of all I'd like to thank everyone who sent me an email wishing me well and good luck at the final table. Unfortunately it didn't go how I had hoped. The hand that was my undoing came early, with eight players left. With the blinds 2 and 4k the button with about 40k in chips raised...

A Final Table at Commerce and Matt's changes forthe 2009 LAPC

I have been at the Commerce the past few days, and as always they run a great operation. I mentioned earlier about Matt Savage joining the staff as tournament director, I had a chance to catch up with him and he talked about the changes in the up coming LA Poker Classic and I thought I'd...
