I should be happy with the outcome as i was down to 2000 at 14 people left, but I'm not thrilled with the finish. 88 person event. 16.50 buy-in. I got 3rd for 182 dollars. Another nice finish, but when we were 3-handed, i was the chipleader. A 9 flop comes K 9 4.... he bets, i call.... Q... he bets i call..... A... he bets.... cap. He flips over A...

Then played in a razz satelite tourney for the WCOOP. I saw 77 hands 6, 7, and 8 handed.... i won 2. GG. Then I played a 1500 FPP horse sat for the WCOOP. Myself and a guy named DonaldTrum...

The tourney tonight went farely well after the 2nd razz session. Razz of course has been my bread and butter for the last few months so i was able to take advantage of some timely hands there. I made it to the final table as the chipleader (125...

I need to learn not to play above my br, but I'll take the big pot i won there anyway. Then I played in the VIP 100k freeroll on pstars. I made the money in that after being on the road and not playing for the first 40 minutes of the tourney. 50 bucks is 50 bucks. So any...

Razz can be a high variance game in general for those of you that don't play it. I went into last night up 145 bucks.... after about an hour and a half was down 20. 3 hours after that i had battled back to up 65 and i quit for the evening. This morning i was down 160 in 40 minutes, then up 20 .... 10 MINUTES LATER! Crazy swings. Sorry ...

This indicates a couple of things about those individuals in my opinion. One, they have very little self-discipline/maturity. Two, they probably have very little intention of ever becoming a GREAT poker player of any well known stature. The reason I say this is that you wouldn't want to be known as someone who bad mouths o...

I played some .50/1.00 just to wake up and made around 16 bucks in abot 10 minutes. Then moved on to razz where I had run my daily profits up to 144 in 2 hours playing 1/2 and 2/4. Then. There had been a really bad accident that took place near my parents house the day before (Tuesday). 6 people were injured including a teenage girl ...

I will be attending the greatest competition of all time. I mean, talk about prestige. I don't know if I can describe the fame that comes with winning it. That's right, for those of you in the know.... you're already aware that I'm talking about the Wednesday night putt-putt tournament. I'm nervous just thinking about it. I've been debating all week and have finally made that crucia...

That was good as I had been on a small downswing. Its funny how one good day can rebuild your confidence quite a bit. Also, I've started talking to another big razz player who also has a Sunday Million ft to his credit. He seems to be a pretty good guy and I think he's going to help me clean up my game a litt...

I've only been playing as my soul source of income for about 2 and a half weeks, so I'm very new. But so far so good. Just after I started I won the nightly horse event for 693 which was nice. To give everybody an idea of what kind of player I am, I am not playing at high levels. I'm grinding. I'm grinding at very low levels. You can find me playing the 1/2 ...
