Well, it took a long time, but I finally found the EPT Barcelona produced coverage online. The final table isn’t uploaded yet, but the first 2 episodes are on Pokertube right now.

Here’s the link to the first episode. If you scroll down you’ll be able to see the following episodes (so far there are 2 uploaded, each into quarters).

I’m only involved in 2 big hands, but it’s interesting to watch the entire thing, because you’ll be able to see that my opponent was really tilting when he 4-bet me AIPF with QJo and I made the call with ATo. The other hand I’m involved in was the huge value bet I made on the river with QQ on the KJxxx board. I made a huge pot sized river bet vs the perfect opponent and he paid it off. Be sure to check it out.

I’ve been making a lot of videos for PokerVT, and am flying Vegas to work in the VT studio on March 4th. I might extend my trip out on the west coast for a few extra days, but I’ll be there to do some interviews, as well as some instructional work.

I guess that’s about it for now. Ray’s currently in LA, so I have the place to myself. Tomorrow there’s a bunch of big MTT’s, including a 2 day event on FTP, the FTOPS $2,500 - so assuming I’m awake (I swear to god if I sleep through….), I’ll be in there.

Good luck at the tables everyone and thanks for reading,

Today I grinded out a TON of tournaments.

I was actually running horribly in all of the bigger buy-in tournaments. I won’t bore you with specific details, but I was extremely frustrated with how the day was going. Despite all the horrible beats, I played almost every tournament with a buy-in > $50 that was registering from 4pm - 12am. I felt as though I was playing well and the fields were extra big today, making the prize pools even juicer.

Well, I did end up taking 2nd place in the PokerStars $50+5 50k Guarantee. I’m still really frustrated that I lost the heads-up match, as I had my opponent down several times, and then the final hand got the money in as a slight favorite (Overs + FD vs pair), and I couldn’t win the flip. I did make some mistakes HU and was able to recover, but in the end my opponent prevailed. $10k is still a nice payday.

I’ve made quite a bit of money the last few days, so I certainly can’t complain. I’ve also truly earned the scores - as I’ve been grinding out a ton of tournaments. February 6th and 10th combined I’ve played over 50 multi-table tournaments, which is more than I played in December and January combined.

I’m sure I’ve mentioned it in a previous post, but moving out has obviously increased my motivation to crush online tournaments. I’m feeling really great about my game and hope to take down a big score real soon.

Well, here they are - pictures of my new pad. The pictures might be a little sloppy, but I really wasn’t too concerned with quality when I was taking the pictures. Keep in mind that the TV in the pictures is just a temporary, until I get my new 50in mounted. I turned the sunroom into an office that's big enough for both my setup and Ray's as well. It also came with very nice walk-in closets, and all the big appliances - including a washer/dryer.

Let me know what you think.

Enjoy.

Well, I’m just about all settled in my new apartment.

Today I got a ton of furniture delivered. My apartment is nearly completely furnished, and I’m loving it. The only thing I’m waiting on is the new TV I recently purchased. It’s the Pioneer Kuro 50in flat panel plasma HDTV. It was on backorder, and will be in stock in about 10 days. From all of the reviews I’ve read, many consider it to be the best television on the market. I’m having the Best Buy Geek Squad come by and mount the TV on the wall, as well as hide the speaker wire through the wall. It’s going to look great.

I played most of the online tournaments that started between 6pm - 11pm. I ended up going deep in many of the tournaments, including multiple final table bubbles and multiple final tables. The biggest cash of the day was when I took 2nd in the FTP $109 6max. Second place is always extremely brutal, and I ran atrocious heads-up.

Other notable finishes include:

8th in the UB 11pm ($400)
Final 2 tables in the AP $1k ($1.6k)
Final 2 tables in the UB $150+12 ($255)
Final 2 tables in the PS $300+20 ($2,250)

I believe there are a few other cashes I didn’t note.

All in all it was a fairly profitable day (made around $8k), but it was still frustrating. In the PS $300 (1st was $65k) I constantly ran into my opponents big hands. I couldn’t catch a break in the $1k, and again the $109 6max where I got 2nd for $5k, I really feel like I should’ve won. That was really disappointing. It’d been a long time since I put in an online MTT session. I love my new desk that’s in my new office and I really enjoyed playing poker on my new setup.

While I’m not going to start playing MTT’s 7 day a week like some grinders, as long as I continue to enjoy playing MTT’s like I did today then you can expect to see me playing the nightly tourneys 3-4 days a week.

I’m taking a break from tournaments tomorrow but, but might work on some PokerVT material, and I’ll also post some pictures of my new pad.

Later,

Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been keeping busy preparing to move out lately. I get the key to my new place tomorrow, and couldn't be more ready.

I still have a lot of things I need to buy, but I've setup the utilities, and got my own cable guy to hook up my internet and TV the day I move in. I also bought a really nice sofa, some kitchenware and other little things. I'm still debating over whether or not to get a new TV, and there's still a lot of other things I need to buy. It's kind of stressful, but not having money restrictions helps make the process a little more fun.

I'll be sure to post some pictures when I'm all settled.

I've been playing some cash games on some smaller sites lately and have done pretty well. Mostly been playing 2/4 - 5/10NL, and 10/20, 25/50 Capped NL games on FTP. I'm actually unstuck from Australia and have booked a solid winning month. Not exactly how I pictured January, but money's money.


I guess that's it for now.
