east coast + Bahamas

Gonna be heading back to the east coast for the holidays to see family/friends. Also, have decided to head down to the Bahamas the first week of January for the PCA(PokerStars Carribean Adventure) I won't be playing in the tournament, just gonna hang out/party/play some cash games. I wasn't going to go, since I want to have a huge year in 2008 and didn't wanna start off the year with a slow month, but I figure Bahamas is worth postponing the grind. Also, I figure other than Vegas it's the only time I really see my co-workers(other poker pros), so might as well check it out. My friend Garrett won one of PokerStars $12,000 packages so hopefully I get to watch him take down a million or so in the tourney. Or at least watch him crush some people in high stakes HU matches like Vegas.

Heaterzzzz

Won about 30 buy ins in the last 30 hours. 23 of them from yesterday. Brings back memories of my 35 buy in day back on Party Poker when I was playing 1/2. Here's a screenshot from one of my Party tables that someone took of me that night. Party and I were good friends.

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

How do I know my brother and I are related?

Last night he didn't sleep at all except for a 15 minute power nap. Then he made some calls, went out on the town in the early AM, and a few hours later was back home with 11 wii's. (actually 10, he sold one in the parking lot) Couple hours work for probably $1,500-$2,000 profit.

That's how we roll.

Back on the grind

Got back from Thailand about a week ago. I'll post a trip report when I get a chance. Been playing a decent amount of poker since I got back. Eating bankrolls one player at a time.




Happy birthday Marc!

Poker Documentary

There's a new documentary out about 4 poker players from Georgia. It's a pretty cool film. Will definitely give some people unfamiliar with online poker an interesting look into some of the players lives.

Here's the trailer:

Poker mansion?

Been talking with a few other poker players about getting a place together next year. We've been talking about getting 5-6 guys and renting out a mansion for a year. Prices aren't bad at all. We could probably get some ridiculously sick places for like $5-$10k/month. Split between a bunch of guys it's not really that bad. Dunno for sure if it'll happen, but I think it'd be fun to do. Mainly looking at doing it in Arizona or California. If anybody's interested who I haven't talked to yet hit me up.

The other day when I played 12,068 hands, here's just my rakeback from the day:

Date Site Rakeback
October 27, 2007 Full Tilt Poker $580.85

Maybe the most rakeback I've ever made in one day.(rakeback for those who don't know, is the % of money you get back that you paid in rake. Has nothing to do with your winnings, it's just extra)
