busto

Busted out of the main event about 3hrs into day 2.
Got kind of shortstacked early and had 10k chips with blinds at 250/500 50ante.

MP opened to 1200 and a guy I was fairly confident was opening light 3bets to 3500. I look down at QQ in the SB and fistpump ship it in. I know the guy is commited, and he asks me 'do you want a call?' and I just smile and and say yeah because I'm obviously say ahead if he asks and i know he cant fold. He calls and flips up KQs. King in the window and I take the walk of shame.

All in all it was a great experience and a very successful WSOP.

I won the pokerstars freeroll yesterday which gets me into an exclusive online freeroll which pays out about $800,000 in packages. So my EV is about $7000 from that, and everyone gets a seat. So that should be awesome and is gonna take me to at least one more event for free. :)

I'm in vegas for 1 more week. Gonna take it easy for the most part, and I'll definitely hit up the pokerstars party on thursday. be sure to say hi if you see me.

the mains event

main event kicked off today and i played day 1

i didnt really play any interesting hands, all pretty standard stuff. ended the day with 20k in chips gonna relax for the next few days and start crushing on day 2a.

went deep again

event 32 this time
It was another $2k buyin with a few less runners (1500 i think?)

I busted 44th about an hour ago for just under $10,000. I got pretty unlucky actually, getting KK in preflop against AQs (I 4 bet-shoved and he called) for what would've been a double average stack. He flopped a flush and I got like zero sweat. It was the kids first live event ever and he was shaking so much raking in the chips and for like the next 5hands afterwards. It was cute. Soon after I called a late position shove with AJs to find myself up against ATo for what would've brought me back to average. Two tens on the flop and I get no help and I'm down to about 10bbs. I ended up shoving blind versus blind with K3s and the same kid with AQ made a pretty sick call with K8o and busted me. GG main.



So i'm at like $51,000 on a $5500 investment so far this series.

my girlfriend flies in on friday so i wont be playing anymore events this week. i might play one more $1500 event before the main event, but not even sure about that. i might just relax and grind online.

well thats about it. im off to have a few beers by the pool while i think of what might have been

remembering what its like to run good

so i've been out in vegas for a week now.
staying with a bunch of the MSNL/HSNL full ring guys and everyone is awesome. we're having a lot of fun and winning a bunch of money.

i played my first WSOP event on thursday and ending up going really deep. it was event 11 ($2000 NLHE 3day) and i finished 12th out of 1600ish for $41,000. easily my biggest tourny score to date.



my run good continued last night online when I shipped the $77 freezeout on stars for about $3500. everything seems to be going in the right direction. I'll play a few more events before the main event, so keep your eyes opened and expect some big things :).

yeah im pretty much a tourny pro now ;)

lucky coin

so i've never really had a lucky coin before but i just found one.

yesterday i was unsure if i wanted to play the $200r tournament so i flipped a coin, and it said no. so i didnt. then i saw a similar tourny structure on stars but it was a $20r so i flipped again and it said to play. 8hrs later i finished 3rd/800 for like 3.6k.

since then ive been flipping it, asking if i should make calls when close, when to end sessions, which site to play, when to leave tables, etc, and am now on a sick heater.

to test it, i asked it if the worst player at one of my tables was a good player and the coin said yes. i was a little upset initially but then i realized my coin just has a good sense of humour. so now its not only my lucky coin, its also a close friend.

things are good on my end. vancouver is nice, met a bunch of poker players out here and having fun with them and old freinds i made in korea.
final tabled a few tourneys this week and won like $9k. pretty nice rush.
the year isnt going as well as last to this point, but as long as there isnt another stock market tank i should still do better this year. especially after i win the world series.

so yeah...i'll be out in vegas for all of the WSOP, june 1st-july17th. living with 4 other poker players in a house just off the strip. probbaly play a bunch of small events and then the main event. wish me lucky
