Life’s been good to me lately. I just got back from the Borgata in Atlantic City. New Jersey’s always been really lucky for me (lots of online success at Ray’s) and my first time at Borgata didn’t disappoint. Okay, well…maybe a little, as I “only” final tabled, finishing in 8th place out of 383 players.

I’ve just been takin it easy the last couple weeks. My run in the NAPT Mohegan Sun event lasted less than an orbit. I think it’s the first time I busted level 1 of a main event structured tournament. I got my money in on the turn with the nuts, drawing dead lol. KJo vs [...]

I’ve been living back in Ohio for a couple weeks now. Surprisingly I don’t have a huge pit in my stomach asking myself “what have I done?!?!”
The next tournament I’ll be playing is NAPT Mohegan Sun. I haven’t played much poker at all lately and told myself I wouldn’t play until the next time I [...]

If you told me when I was first moving into Panorama Towers (the place I wanted to live in since I was 18), that I’d be excited to move back to Ohio after one year, I’d have laughed. Especially if you told me I’d be leaving after one of the better years of my career [...]

It’s just about been a year since I first moved to LV. With my lease at Panorama coming up, I’ve decided to go month to month with intention of moving back to Ohio once I’ve got my moving plans figured out – which I should by the end of March. As much fun as it’s [...]

I’ve been home from the Bahamas for about a week now. I didn’t make any noise at the PCA, just a couple of Day 2’s; the main and $5k PLO. I left happy with my play and irritated at Atlantis, which is starting to seem standard.
William Thorson was on my direct left in the $5k [...]

This is now the third year I’ve come to Atlantis in the Bahamas for the PCA. I was 19 the first time and it was my first live major event. Right after I flew to Australia for the Aussie Millions. Since then it’s become the second biggest (and juiciest) tournament of the year.
I’m looking to [...]

Well, I’m back home in Ohio for the holidays with my family. December was a pretty hectic month for me. Between a business trip to New Mexico, a week of 12+hr days grinding Bellagio tourneys, and being audited by the IRS, (plus all the Christmas/family stuff) I’ve had my hands full.
A couple weeks ago I [...]

After spending the last 5 days or so at Ray’s in NJ, I’m finally at the Taj in Atlantic City. Tomorrow’s day 1 of the $5k USPC main event. I’m looking forward to building a stack and bringing my A-game. This is actually my first time in Atlantic City. You’d think through all my travels [...]

It’s been quite a long time since my last blog. To be honest for a good chunk of time I had lost interest in just about everything, including blogging. Hell, including eating. I’ve lost roughly 4lbs since I moved to Vegas….and if you’ve ever seen me you know I can’t afford to lose any weight.
These [...]
