A Quick WCOOP update...
September 19, 2009Hey guys,
Sorry I've been slackin on updates, but with WCOOP going on, I've got my mindset completely fixated on the pokers.
Anyways, I've been pretty much bricking everything despite a couple deep runs, but my horses have been KILLING it - one (Grayson) following up his $90k 5th in the WCOOP with a 2nd in the $1k Monday for $57k, and another (Rafe) just now taking 5th in the $500 1r1a WCOOP for ~$68k. I've had a couple smaller scores to make back some WCOOP buyins - I took 2nd in the Stars $109 1r1a turbo for ~$11k, and tonight won the $109+R 20k for ~$15k. Thanks to these scores I'm only down about 11k since WCOOP started, despite having no solid WCOOP scores (including a 10k buyin).
I plan on doing a full, detailed WCOOP recap once the Main Event is over, so for now just wanted to throw this up with some good news.
As far as the 2W200k challenge, we are now at about +$70kish, with only 2-3 days left. Not lookin' good, but obviously a good result overall.
Today's the $2k 8-game and the $500 PLO heads-up, two events I think will be a lot of fun.
GL everyone. Be back in a few days (for real this time).

2W200K
September 08, 2009Hey guys,
Sorry about the week delay between updates, but it's been a pretty hectic seven days for me.
Three of my good friends from home (Kapie, Rafe, and Argoe) are in town, and are staying with me for the next two weeks. Since they're all poker players and in town for the WCOOP (amongst other shenanigans), we've set a goal for the period that they're here. Like the show "Two Months, Two Million" on G4 (which I have yet to see), we've set our sights on "Two Weeks, Two Hundred Thousand," a combined profit race involving the four of us, my friend Steve, and my girlfriend Sylvia (who will be "grinding" some $3.40 sng's).
Unlike the players on the show, however, we don't play high-stakes cash games (we're spread out between .25/.50-3/6 NL and a wide range of tournaments), so this is a completely unrealistic goal, but it's our goal nonetheless. I suggested a better idea would be "Two Weeks, Two Dollars," to which Rafe suggested "Two Weeks, Even."
I guess we'll see how it goes. So far, our profit number is a whopping $805.
WCOOP has been off to a rough start for me. I completely bricked a very big Sunday a couple days ago, including the $10k I was so looking forward to. No stories really. I bubbled a couple $100R FT's on some big flips, and nothin' much else. My number on the big board is -$15,159, so I guess i have some ground to make up.
Fortunately, despite this, I'm having a huge WCOOP... thanks to "graybone," one of my horses, taking a very tough but very big fifth place in the early Sunday $215 WCOOP event, for ~$90k. Another horse of mine also shipped a Full Tilt tournament for $13k or so, so my huge upswing is still in effect. Yay.
I'm gonna try to get some pictures up of my apartment (the setup with five computers in the main room is pretty interesting) and our "Two Months, 200k" profit board, if I can figure out how to post them, and how to be less of a bum.
Anyways, I'm about to start up the $320 Mixed Hold'em 6max WCOOP, which will be followed by the $1k tonight. If I hit anything in the next couple days I'll throw up a post, otherwise expect to hear from me sometime this weekend.
Till then GL everyone,

A HUGE couple of sessions...
September 02, 2009Very briefly gonna run down the results of my last couple sessions, Sunday and Tuesday.
On Sunday I had a lot of heartbreak until the very end of the night, finally running good in and winning the FTP $109 1r1a 33k gtd, for a little over $20k. I also did fairly well in MTT SnG's, and one of my horses chopped the afternoon Full Tilt $163 for about 30k. Another horse of mine got 13th in the FTP 750k, a tournament I also got 70th in. I had a few disappointments, but overall profited over $50k on the day.
This Tuesday night, I played a handful of tournaments starting at 7 PM EST, probably about 8 mtt's total. I had a rough beat in the money of the stars $109 40k, and in the FTP $403 20k, buuuuuut...
I took down the Super Tuesday, for $66k and change. weeeeeeeeeeeee!
I also put up some more solid numbers in MTT SnGs, and my Sharkscope on Full Tilt is starting to shape up very nicely. = )
Anyways I am obviously very excited and exhausted... will make another more detailed post along with a WCOOP preview in the next few days or so.
Till then,
