Finally!
by A_Junglen on 05/21/08
Well, I’ve been talking about this day ever since I became apart of the project, and now it’s finally here.After several delays, PokerVT has finally launched!
The last few days I’ve been testing out the site, and checking out the material. The site itself is extremely advanced - far above my (already very high) expectations. The information is presented in a very innovative way, and I’ve been looking forward to this day for quite a long time.
Check it out and let me know what you think,

Back Home
by A_Junglen on 05/14/08
Vancouver ended up being incredibly frustrating - the hand history posted below was the last hand I played while in Canada. I did end up seeing Iron Man while I was there with Jeff, it was a pretty solid super hero movie.
While on the plane back home I finally finished an article for Bluff. It’s pretty basic, and geared towards beginners transitioning from online to live play. It’ll be published in July’s issue, so…that’ll be kinda cool.
Feels great to be back home. I’ve got a few small errands I need to get done around here, but besides that I’m not going to be doing anything the next few days.
It’s going to be great.

Sigh
by A_Junglen on 05/10/08
Yesterday was the $3k, and now I’m officially busto from everything here.
Bleh
The main event had 302 entrants, and I believe first paid around $275k. Well, that’s not too big of a concern now that I’m eliminated. I lasted about 6 hours. I never accumulated too many chips, but feel as though most of my reads were on, and that I was playing well.
We started with 15k, and I hovered between 12k-24k all day. I don’t think I played more than one 5 figure pot. It was just one of those days. I also had several aggressive players to my left, so that didn’t make life easier. I started my bust-out hand with roughly 16,600, and my opponent covered me by about 8-10k. With blinds at 150/300/25, he opened the button for 900. The small blind folded, and I pick up AKo in the BB.
Well, this opponent (BB) had played with me for a good portion of the $1k bounty on the 7th, and he had been moved to the table roughly 90 minutes ago when this hand came up. During both times we’d played together, I’d played a very solid, tight-aggressive game. Especially in the bounty.
Well, I 3-bet his button open to 3,600, and he tanked. Now, this was literally the first pot I had re-raised preflop the entire trip (In a BTN/SB/BB spot), let alone vs. a guy who’d seen me play solid the previous day.
While tanking he was counting out the chips in a similar way to when he put me all-in in a previous pot (and I folded). I thought there was a pretty good chance he was just gonna put me AIPF there (and I would’ve called).
Well, instead he flat called preflop, putting us both in a somewhat awkward spot postflop (each having 1.5 times the pot behind). The flop came down T73r.
Out of all of my options, open-shoving for 1.5x pot seemed best. The button thought for a good 3 minutes before finally calling with T9. He thought so long, I actually thought I had just made a good value bet and he was calling with AQ. I guess I gave him too much credit and didn’t consider he’d call a 4x re-raise (20% of the effective stack) with T9.
….So yea, despite the downswing, I’m feeling really good about my game. I’m just hoping to put up some results in the FTOPS series. Once I get home I plan on putting in more volume online, as well as work on PokerVT.
Speaking of PokerVT, I’ve gotten a chance to play around with the site a bit. I’m very impressed with it. Daniel’s blog mentions it’ll be open for FCP’rs on the 13th, and I’m guessing to the general public soon after. I’m extremely excited about the launch of PokerVT, and the changes it will bring. It’s nice to have an actual date set as well.
On May 14th, 8pm EST, Daniel will be on Sirius 186 (listen live at HardcorePokerShow.com) to answer all questions related to PokerVT
I'm sure I'll be linking a sign-up/referral ad or something once they're available.

WPT….Canada
Yup, that’s what the events here in Vancouver are being called. WPT Canada, short for “World Poker Tour: Canada”
….Right…
Well, regardless of whether or not the name makes sense, I’m having a pretty good time here. Of course, I’d be having a better time if I hadn’t been knocked out of the $1k bounty today, but oh well.
We started with 10k, and 25/50 blinds and 45min levels. A pretty good structure for a $1k, I really don’t care to grind out long levels for a $1k. But for a 2 day event (2 days, plus final table), it was great. Being a bounty was a neat experience as well. It was the first live tournament I’d played in a few months, and I think I played pretty well. I didn’t open nearly as many pots as I normally do, and just hovered between 7-13k playing pretty patiently. At 200/400/25 I got my last 11k in the middle with 99 vs Ah 2h on the Kh 9h 3x flop.
I lost btw
Jeff had busted a few minutes before I did, so we went to the electronics store to pick up a router and get some dinner. We ate at a fairly nice Korean BBQ restaurant near the mall. It seems like I always end up eating Korean BBQ on the road. For once Bond18 wasn’t ordering the meal too. I’m surprised I could figure it out myself. Bond usually knows every single person working at every single Korean BBQ restaurant, (anywhere ever). Of course, this is based on 2 dinners - but one was in LV and the other was in Melbourne. Slight exaggeration I suppose.
Tomorrow I’ll be playing a couple online tournaments, but mostly taking it easy. Big thanks to Daryl and the staff here for getting Jeff and I one of the nicer rooms at a solid rate. I think this is the first hotel room I’ve been in that has stairs….
