WSOP $40k, Twitter, WSOP Props

Okay, this is going to be a very short blog. I played the WSOP $40,000 Buyin tournament today. I was eliminated the last hour of the day unfortunately. So a whole day to waste basically. Very very happy with the way I played except for possibly a call I made on the river for about 13% of my stack at one point, however that did not affect the outcome of anything. Ended up losing a coinflip with 77 vs AQ and out the door I went.

My twitter is http://www.twitter.com/BoostedJ which will be regularly updated throughout the day, every day of the WSOP with interesting stories, hands, and other various things.

Ted Forrest who is a decent friend of mine came up to me today and propositioned me for a $5,000 bonus for each final table either one of us makes we have to pay each other and an additional $5,000 for making the top 3 of any tournament during the WSOP this year. The most final tables he's ever made in a year is 3...and he won all 3! LOL! So hopefully my sake that doesn't happen this year, but I definitely don't want to root too hard against Ted, he's a good guy.

I received 13-1 odds on winning a bracelet this year...my $10,000 to his $130,000. It's with a particular long time high stakes NL cash game player whom I've played many many hands with. I'll leave his name anonymous for now but when I win an event it will be a nice victory.

I have a $1k friendly bet with Lance and company at Bluff Magazine on gross $$$ cashed during the WSOP this year between my team of: Justin Bonomo, Brett Richey, and myself vs. his team of Andy Bloch, Bertrand Grospellier, and Michael Binger. Elky is on a super heater the past year so hopefully I can fade him.

Today during dinner break of the $40k in the VIP break room, I took a piece of Mike Matusow in chinese poker vs. Eli Elezra, Phil Hellmuth, and Doyle Brunson. I don't know how to set my hands that great in chinese so I sweated Mike and Eli a little bit and fortunately Mike went on a pretty nice heater which netted me $6,000 for my piece of the action.

I'll be playing the $1,500 Omaha H/L tournament tomorrow at noon and you can follow me on twitter or Pokernews.com
