The first cut is the deepest...

Okay so after years and years of making fun of others that have blogs especially with Daniel Tosh, I have decided to deliver to the masses (5 people + 2 small dogs) my thoughts from day to day.

The primary purpose of this thing I guess is to be able to give updates on poker and the blazay blah. I am currently in Las Vegas for the WSOP. This is actually my 7th WSOP that I have had the good fortune to be a part of, after all you have to be fortunate for people to continuously send you out to the desert with a big bag of money and not put you in a hole when you don't bring it all back at the end.

The first and only event I have played since my arrival was the $1500 Pot Limit Holdem that began on wednesday. I had been looking forward to that one for quite some time, but like many other things with that much anticipation it was over all to quickly. I started at a terrible table full of Langoliers (really good players) where I proceeded not to win one single hand. When that table broke, I got moved to another pretty bad (Larry David VOICE)  table that was a little better than the prior. Daniel Kelly (DJK123) was at this one and I guess it was kind of fun to watch him win every single time he put any money in the pot, free education! I made it to the break and on the very first hand of the 3rd level, I was dealt 99 and drawing stone dead by the time the turn gave us a 7c 3s 2d 4c board as my very arrogant looking opponent showed me the old A5off, well played sir!

I have kind of eased into this WSOP, in past years I probably would have been in 5 MTTs(multi table tournaments that run like 3 days) but this year I have kind of settled in and played more cash and some 1 table tourneys. Since I have been successful in these endeavors so far I will continue to do what I have done so far. I have added some activities to my poker life with this blog and The Poker Action Hotline podcasts that I have been doing in the past month. On wednesday after the failed $1500PLH, I was able to participate in the current podcast where are guests included Bryan Micon and Mariya Mayrinick. It was an excellent show done by our host Dave Lemmon, produced from a laptop and microphone in the Amazon room. I look forward to our next show where I hope to have my buddy Jake Bazeman as a guest, he just got 2nd place in the first $1500NLH for around $400k. He is one of a kind guy from Cincinnati, Ohio that I have traveled many places on the tour with. I also was able to secure Nick Jivkov, the guy who actually won the $1500 Pot Limit Holdem bracelet last night for the tune of around $200k, so that should be an excellent podcast also. I will be posting each podcast in this Blogspot or whatever we will call it.

Well that is a good start I guess. I will do my absolute best to update this thing as much as I can. Gonna head up and shower up for this $1500NLH that begins in a little under an hour. This is a reentry and the first of its kind for the WSOP, many are anticipating it getting a first place of around 1 million dollars. Thanks for giving this group of words a good look, I hope it didn't hurt your eyes to much. :)
