Updates can be found at the following sites. PokerNews Live Reporting is the official live updater of the WSOP so they are the fastest and therefore the best. I doubt they will be tracking my stack all that often though, but who knows. PocketFives Live will also be doing updates but they are allowed only to do one update per hour or something like that. If I get semi-deep in sommething I may text in updates myself to PokerXfactor LiveUpdates
Finally the Reds called up Jay Bruce the 21 year old who was the #1 ranked prospect by Baseball America. He promptly went 3-3 with 2 walks in his debut and followed that up with a 1-3 night and last night went 4-5. He already has 3 doubles off the wall in 4 games. Corey Patterson is finally in Triple A, I haven't hated a player more than that guy, he is so bad. Going 0-8 in the 18 inning game was real impressive. Dusty kept leading him off as Dusty is a moron as well. He sends Volquez out there last night after throwing 100 pitches through 6 innings with a 2-1 lead after having to go in as a reliever Sunday. What a moron. Volquez lets up a double on the first or 2nd pitch then comes out, which Bray lets that run in costing Volquez the shot at the win. At least the Reds won in 11 though. Still 8 games back though as the Cubs keep winning which is getting annoying. They were down 9-1 yesterday and come back and win 10-9.

New Orleans Recap
I should be nearly arriving back home right now but instead I'm stuck in the New Orleans airport as my flight out got canceled, the earliest flight I could get was at 620 am, pretty awesome. I actually called NWA while we were all in line waiting to talk to someone here in new orleans about getting a new flight and I was one of the lucky ones apparently as some people are going to be stuck much longer. The first person I was on the phone with actually said she couldn't get me out til Thursday night, then I called back and they got me out early Wednesday morning. So I still have to wait in this line so I can get setup for a hotel, I'm the last one and she has me all setup tells me where to go gives me some food vouchers and I ask her if this is everything and she says yes, I actually asked her twice as I had nothing about the hotel, so I assumed she called over there and put my name down as she was on the phone for part of it. I go over to the hotel and find out they were supposed to give me a voucher or I'd have to pay $140 for the night, so the guy doing the shuttles had just arrived with someone else who had their shuttle and he said he'd take me back over there and get it. We go inside and everyone is gone, no NWA people in the kiosks anywhere. This guy gets on a phone and gets in contact with someone and they say everyone has left as there is no flights out and there is no way for me to get a voucher tonight, so here I am in the terminal waiting for my flight that is 11 hours away. This airport is the total suck, all the bars/restaurants close down at 6 pm while one stays open til 8, there are no outgoing flights in the evening, place is dead.
So back to last week, got in on Wednesday and just walked around the french quarter and ate at a place called Cajun Cabin which was pretty good. I wasn't expecting to see so many strip clubs along bourbon street and a few sex shops too. The next day I had to play the $1k which I got some bad news right when I sat down and got my ipod out as the state of Louisiana doesn't allow ipods or any electronic devices in the tourney area since its a temp gaming area, so now this was going to be pretty boring. We started with 2500 in chips and I was down to around 2k when I ran AK into AA preflop. We headed to the aquarium and IMAX which was just a minute away from the hotel, we were going to watch "Hurricane on the Bayou" and managed to see everything the aquarium had to offer right in time to make it to the movie. I went to the concessions and to my surprise they were selling beer and mixed drinks. The movie was pretty interesting as it told about the hurricane and a past major hurrican as well and why this one was so much worse. It was interesting to find out later as I went to the trustworthy Wikipedia to get some more info on the movie and it said that it was originally a "What If" scenario if the big hurricane hit and then later was turned into a before and after since Katrina did hit. Lindsay actually got sick at the aquarium and even threw up so we just stayed in that night.
The next day we ate at Oceana Grill for lunch and then walked down bourbon st where we ran into the bar selling "Hand Grenades" advertised as the strongest drink in new orleans. The exact recipe is a trade secret but it is said to contain 1 part grain alcohol, 1 part rum, one part melon liquor, one part vodka, and one part gin. You could get it frozen or on the rocks and it was surprisingly very good.
One managed to knock Lindsay on her ass and we were back in the room by 6 pm that night and she was passed out, I started watching the reds game and fell asleep in the 2nd inning and didnt wake back up til the 9th and we didn't get back out that night. We are pretty lazy I guess. Saturday I once again played a $1k and never really got much going, I did suck out on Sabyl Cohen who was the woman who knocked me out in the 2006 main event where I basically bubbled. I won KT vs her AK all in preflop and the board came AKxQJ making it even sicker. That allowed me to waste another 2 hours and then bust out right before dinner. We headed to Acme Oyster bar that night we got there pretty early right around 6 and we had no wait. By the time we left there was a 40 person line, we then headed to PatOBriens which has a piano bar and went right in there and got a good seat. They also sell a famous drink called a hurricane which is pretty strong but pretty good just like the hand grenade. We stayed there for a few hours to which at that time there was a huge line to get in. It actually started out as 2 women players as they had dueling pianos, I think every hour it was 2 new ones came in, had a total of 4 rotating I think. We requested Sweet Caroline which was a very good rendition, though it seemed like lindsay and I were the only ones singing along, she spun that right into Piano Man and even broke out the harmonica so that was pretty awesome as that is my favorite song. Fun times.
Sunday we were lazy all night then went down to a different part of the french quarter which we hadn't been yet and looked around and ate. Alligator sucks, it is too chewy.
Monday was the $5k and things started out pretty good for me. I flopped a set out of the bb with 66 on a TT6 board with flush draw against a raise and a caller and led out and got 2 callers. I bet the turn again and got 2 callers, then bet the river and got a caller and went from 10k to 16k on that hand. I built up nicely without much trouble but then lost a small flip AK to TT to take me back around 16. I built that up to mid 20s and got it in with nut flush draw vs top pair and got there vs a short stack to get to 32 or so and I was feeling good at that point as avg was only around 16. Not too much happened after that until I switched tables a couple times and picked up A9o in mp at the 200/400 level, I made it 1025 and an old man who didn't see my raise puts in 1500 and announces 1500, so now he has to raise to which he raises the min to 1650, I then put in 4500 and he eventually folds. A few hands later I pick up QQ and make it 1400(300/600), I get 2 callers. Flop 442 with 2 clubs which looks about perfect to me, I bet 3000 and get 2 callers. Turn 7, I bet 7000 and the 2nd guy puts his whole stack in which was just 8700 and he had 22 for just quads. That put me back to around 16k. I didn't get much going after that for a while just stealing chips when I could as I got moved to a pretty good table. Near the end of the 300/600 level I picked up AQs in the bb with a 15k stack, utg made it 2k to go and I just called. Flop Q77, I checkcall a 2k bet, turn Q, I check, he checks. River 2 and I instashove, he tanks and calls with A7, so that put me back over 30k. I once again get moved and go sick card dead and earned one pot where I raised a limper with 86o, then with about 10 mins left in the night I pick up TT in the bb. A somewhat tight guy raises in mp with a 17k stack and I decide to rrse and put in 8k, he shoves and I call and he has AK. Flop J62 Turn King, bleh, that dropped me down to 11k or so instead of being close to 50k which would have been top 20 with 75 left. I ended the day with 11k making me 65/69 with the avg stack being close to 40k.
Day 2, I picked up a couple pots in the first orbit by shoving to get me to 17k when a guy in mp raised to 3500(600/1200), and I shoved my 17k in with 88, he tanked for a bit and I thought he was going to fold and was hoping he had a small pair but eventually called with KJo and the J ball came right on the flop ending my second day run. That flip would have put me right back to average, bla. Maybe I can run better in Vegas next month.

Some Random Stuff
I’m sitting on a plane(which was delayed an hour due to too much weight, they finally took a bunch of fuel off, hope we don’t need that) heading to New Orleans so I figured I’d write a blog about some stuff that I didn’t get around to since I didn’t post in forever. Basically I didn’t play much poker at all during the month of April as I would usually find something else to do that would be more fun as poker really isn’t that much fun most of the time. I tried to play a lot of golf as one of my goals this year was to get down to a single-digit handicap, currently I’m a 14.3. I really haven’t improved much at all this year and haven’t got to play as much as I wanted to as it has rained a ton it seems or been colder than usual. My best round all year is an 81 which was eleven over. I’ve been trying to work on my short game as I used to have a pretty good one, I’m still a pretty good putter but the rest of the short game isn’t up to what it was a few years ago. I’m awful on the tee most of the time so that puts me in a lot of trouble situations, so a usual round can look something like bogey, par, bogey, double bogey, par, par, par, bogey, double bogey, a bit all over the place. I’ll get back on the golf hardcore after I get back from the first Vegas WSOP stint. I’m currently experiencing the worst turbulence I’ve ever had the joy of riding in.
I don’t really have much to say on poker stuff as I sort of recapped the big stuff in my last blog…. Random sidenote…. We saw Gene Keady at the airport today, Lindsay wanted to get a picture with him but ended up not. His combover looked good. I am playing some big live tourneys coming up as WSOP is just next month and I’m on my way to New Orleans currently where I’ll be playing a $1k on Thursday, $1k on Saturday, and then $5k WSOP-Circuit Main Event on Monday(www.pokernews.com (live reporting) ). After that Karec and I are heading to Vegas where I’ll be playing a WSOP event almost every day from June 2nd-June 17th, Karec will be playing the Venetian events most likely.
Getting back to Gene Keady and Lindsay not going up to get a picture, I would have definitely went up and talked with Tom Crean if he was the one standing there, He’s obv very receptive to fans currently. So far so good with him at the helm, he is doing a pretty good job recruiting as he got some players to actually put a team on the court next year and could have 4 or 5 top 100 guys coming in 09. Oh great, now we can’t land in Memphis(connecting to New Orleans) and we have to fly around for a while until we can land, bleh. I’m pretty excited for the future of IU basketball.
My 2nd favorite Red tore his knee up last night, SS Jeff Keppinger, he was batting around .330 on the year and really the only productive Red with runners in scoring position as he was leading the league in that category as of about a week ago. Looks like he will be out a couple months at least, I haven’t gotten to see the MRI results yet. The 2 rookie pitchers have been pretty good, Edinson Volquez has been unreal 6-1 with a 1.06 era, but Johnny Cueto has struggled with giving up the longball and his era has ballooned to Eric Milton like numbers. He is just 22 though. I still haven’t been to the new ballpark but plan to make it to a few games this year.
Oh Kentucky Derby this year, I actually had a pretty good day betting. I just bet $10 to win on one horse races 2-10 and I had 4 winners including back to back with a 14-1 and a 13-1, apparently thats where I run good. Big Brown looks like a triple crown winner.
I'll try to update this with some New Orleans stuff.

Poker is So Sick
I haven't really played that much online all year, but when I have played some bigger events, I seem to put myself in some good spots to make bunches of money. I don't really play $1ks or $109rebuys any more, opting for cheaper tourneys since you can play so much volume these days when one actually sits down to play all day. I decided to play the Tilt $1k Monday a few weeks ago, have chiplead during first 2 hours and end up going out 37th losing AA to TT which was the bubble, such a joke. That tourney was 100k to win. This Saturday I decided to play the FTOPS(Full Tilt Online Poker Series) $109 Rebuy since it would be such a huge tourney with lots of chips. I didn't have a great first hour and came out of the rebuy period with min chips, but still enough chips since the structure was so good. I built my stack up quickly during the 2nd hour with a pretty sick bluff and was top 20 most of the way (started with 1500), I'm a bit under average with 37 left when I pick up QQ in the big blind, sb raises, I shove, he calls with AT and he gets there for a top 10 stack.... it was 100k to win, that donk goes on to get 2nd for $70k. Such fun, and then what happened last night...
FTOPS $1000 1.5 mil guaranteed, around 1600 players and it was $363k to win. I build up in the 2nd hour but lose TT to KT for a decent amount but still in pretty good shape. I manage to go from 18k in chips to 110k in chips without a showdown! I never won a flip, never hit a 3 outer never got my hand to hold, I just kept building at no risk basically. Then this unreal hand comes up against an obv awful player who doesn't even know what he is doing

I wanted to cry, instead of being 10th with 57 left... busto. About like the $1k at Caesars I lose JJ to A2 for half the chips in play with 6 left or I cruise to at least 2nd which was 40k, first was 70, I end up running 99 into KK and getting 11k, bleh.
*************end bad beat rant*************
Did get 2nd couple weeks ago in Tilt $163 for $13k, that helped, been doing real well grinding 60/45s, those are so easy and relaxing, don't have to think whatsoever.
FTOPS $1000 1.5 mil guaranteed, around 1600 players and it was $363k to win. I build up in the 2nd hour but lose TT to KT for a decent amount but still in pretty good shape. I manage to go from 18k in chips to 110k in chips without a showdown! I never won a flip, never hit a 3 outer never got my hand to hold, I just kept building at no risk basically. Then this unreal hand comes up against an obv awful player who doesn't even know what he is doing

Real cute..... Instead of being top 10 with 65 or so left in a tourney Three Hundred and Frickin Sixty Three Thousand Dollars to win, I'm short, I actually suck out very next hand KQ vs AK to double up and then pick up Aces to which I get no action for the 3rd time in the last 2 hours, then I pick up Kings....

I wanted to cry, instead of being 10th with 57 left... busto. About like the $1k at Caesars I lose JJ to A2 for half the chips in play with 6 left or I cruise to at least 2nd which was 40k, first was 70, I end up running 99 into KK and getting 11k, bleh.
