  • WSOP Circuit Caesar’s Trip Report

    02 May 2008

    As I surveyed the room, it was about what I expected/hoped for. Mostly pros and several table with 5-6 well known players per. Sure, it would be tough as could be, but what a great experience nonetheless. At first glance, Ted Lawson was the only player I recognized at my table, sitting to me immediate [...]

  • Oopsing with the ‘New John Brown’

    25 Feb 2008

    I rarely post hand histories, but this one is just too good. I am curious what people think of my move on the flop? The set-up: we are on the bubble in last night’s Sunday Million on Pokerstars, and I am sitting in pretty good shape in the top 40 in chips with 487 left [...]

  • Batface at Beau Rivage

    06 Sep 2007

    Legendary Batface, Darling Phillips, made a ridiculously poor snap decision and is playing in today’s WPT event at Beau Rivage in Biloxi. Heaven help us, and Heaven help those who try to push him off a flush draw. UPDATE: He did not win.

    27 Aug 2007

    I’ll try not to overdo this as Dan has posted much on this past weekend’s tourney; but I did want to give a quick summary of my tournament and a review of the tournament and casino at large. First, my tournament. I made it into level 7, a little more than halfway through the day. [...]

  • The 411 on the Red River Roundup

    20 Aug 2007

    Just talked to the Winstar Poker Room to get the details on this weekend’s poker tournament. As expected (though not clear), Day 1 is broken up into three day 1s, Thursday-Saturday, and the survivors play Sunday. Plus, you can direct buy-in, via credit card, over the phone (nice, the WSOP could take notice). As of [...]

  • Musings on the WSOP from a closer…

    19 Jun 2007

    DALLAS–It’s effectively Super Bowl week for me. While I will be there for the main event as well, this week marks our second annual pilgrimage to the WSOP (and fourth poker adventure). Tiny B Tulsa and Gentle Shane are heading out tomorrow, and I will be there by Thursday morning. All of us (assuming Shane [...]
