Hello All,

So....... I told you guys that I would write up a big blog entry talking about my WSOP Circuit Events but I really do not see this happening. To be honest, I really do not want to remember it but here is a short little summary.

I played 5 events..A $350, a $550, a $1060, a $1590, and then the Main Event $5260. I busted out early in the $350, I had an awful table draw and missed 3 straight flush draws so GG me. The $550 was awesome even though I was soo card dead. I ended up cashing, coming in 16th. The $1060 also was not a good tourney for me, I lasted until the last level before dinner and jammed in my 9bb As9s into AA...GG ME. The $1590 was a decent tourney for me but once again I ran sooo card dead and ended up bubbling the event, bubbling is awful! After these four tourneys, I was pretty bummed out because I had yet to see ANY hands at all. Poker is a frustrating game to begin with but when you never get cards and get stuck in awful spots all day...it becomes miserable. My buddy SteveyBallgame came in town for the Main Event so that gave me the second wind I needed. Of course, I probably drew the toughest table in the room. To my right was a young kid who just won the $1590 event, Blair Hinkel (A WSOP bracelet winner) and to my immediate left was Hinkels older brother (Another WSOP bracelet winner). SO ya that was fun, I increased my stack early but after the first 2 levels, my stack just kept shrinking. I played a weird hand with QQ on a 7-6-3 board, Hinkel obviously had 7-6 so that was fun. Um then I got two pair turned on my top pair top kicker...So ya well, like I said I hate talking about it--I was out before dinner break.

Other than that, poker has been pretty good. I won a decent amount the past two weeks...I have run pretty awful the last few days but I was due for a cooler. I really would like to go on a nice little heater before I leave for Vegas on May 28 so I can play some big live cash games.

I told you guys that I would also update you on the progress of my youth hockey team....We have yet to play a game but we are 10 practices in and I think the kids are progressing really good. I just started introducing them to system work so they are really confused. Majority of them are pretty bright, so I don't see it being a problem. We have our first game next week and a few more practices and then we go to Detroit May 14-16 for a tournament.

Ummm other than this, my life has been pretty boring. I am in midst of a good prop bet. I had a buddy tell me that he would give me 6-1 that I could not get back to how much I weighed freshman year in high school. I obviously took the bet since I was already trying to lose weight. About 3 weeks ago, I jumped on the scale and weighed 176...I couldn't believe it, I don't think this is the highest I have ever weighed but I wasn't happy. So I started eating right, drinking less, and working out hardcore. I am already down to 163 and I need to get to 150 before I leave for Vegas....13 more pounds in 4 weeks is very doable I believe...Maybe I will ask for 8-1 if I get to 140 haha.

Well everyone, I will talk to you later.

Drama out
