Weighing the odds, uhm, pounds

• Yes yes, long time since I posted, actually my last post is from WSOP times in Vegas. The reason is simple, I don’t have any time. IntelliPoker is eating all my hours. Talking about eating (omg how elegant did I make this switch?), I have been eating to much this year. Way to much. I […]

Bellagio, where the dealers have Bracelets

• After my unpleasant exit on Friday I decided to skip the $1,500 event on Saturday because it was looking like a big sellout again and I don’t like those large fields - nahh, I am not going to fool you. When I realized I had not yet bought my ticket for this event I went to the […]

WSOP 2007: Gave one back

•  While I had 7 suckouts in the 5k NLH event #22 today one was enough to throw me out of the $2000 NLH event. Over 1,600 players entered, 153 in the money. With 250 players left I had to see Katja leaving, she lost half of her above average stack with in the small […]

WSOP 2007: Railbirding

• My own play the last days is not worth many words: I played the $5,000 limit holdem holdem championship event on Sunday afternoon and lasted for like 5 hours, I guess the minimum you can expect with 10,000 starting chips. I can say that I donked off about 50% of my chips with playing just plain […]

WSOP 2007: Cashed again

• Play today started at 2 p.m. with 51 players left and somehow I had a very bad feeling. While I was confident yesterday today I was lacking it when play started. For whatever reason I made it one of my priorities to reach a money spot, probably a follow-up of my all-in move with 9-2o on […]
