I'll be back to posting daily (or close enough to daily) for a while starting the day after tomorrow, as I'm taking a ten day trip to Turning Stone for the HPT series. Pretty much everyone I know in poker has been to one or more of these at some point, and a good chunk of them have made FT's (or better) there, so it's time for me to give that series a shot, too. The blind structure and event lineup do look incredible.

I played a lot for the first time in a while yesterday and today. While I got nowhere thanks to some bad beats (and, I have to admit, some bad play in tonight's HORSE FTOPS event - I'm just not as good in stud high and, to a lesser extent, stud 8 as I am in razz), but enjoyed myself and am looking forward to the live tournament scene/FTOPS combination again. (Though, to be honest, the WCOOP events on Stars are much, much better for me - between paying less for them thanks to W$ and all of the odd events I can dominate most of the field in, it's no contest.) I don't think I'll ever play the live tournament scene as much as I would have said I would before the WSOP - it's just too draining an experience overall - but it's a nice change of pace.

Time to go see how wearing the "Stars Million Winner" jacket alters my image, heh.

edit: Added some pics - back from my 'pre-haircut' and 'pre-shave' phase, obv.

Intimidating. Don't forget to scowl for full effect!
