I just played pretty good poker all day today @ Venetian and was rewarded with good cards and 1 lucky riverstars where I shipped with a flush draw vs. a tight old man's set of 999 and got there all over his face. But I had him well and covered and had a big stack all day, and played it pretty damn good if I say so myself.

hi everyone my name is terry from oxford uk .i play poker 24/7 as im home bound.looking forward to see if i can improve my game by looking at your forums. good luck at the tables to you all

Saw Mason Malmuth at the Bellagio tonight. He was playing 30/60, as usual, with about $780 in front of him, and his usual look on his face of "please never speak to me, ever." I don't think much of it, as he frequents the Bellagio and sits there like a robot not talking to anyone for hours, then gets up and leaves and goes back to his lair. As luck would have it Mason and I arrive at the valet around the same time. I get my car first, and he is sitting in the "waiting area" by Bellagio valet (and btw unless it is balls cold or fartblast windy you don't go on the waiting area room. That is for old or handicapped people. Every normal person chills outside by the benches and waits for their car, occasionally chatting with other patrons). So I do what anyone in my position would do, which is to back up about 3 feet, honk the horn 3 times, and wave at that angry, sorry motherfucker. And I had what you could describe as a "shit eating grin" on as I gave him the thumbs up and peeled out.

Commerce has more animals playing than I ever seen any year before. Maybe its because Matt Savage is the new tournament director, maybe its because the economy has no effect on all the sick degenerate rich people in los angeles... all I know is I keep sitting in big limit holdem games in aww of how bad some of these new faces play.

The 2009 World Series of Poker schedule has been announced. If you haven't seen it yet, click here to view it in a new window.

While similar to 2008's scheulde, they made a few changes. As usual, I have plenty to say about them...

My thoughts about the new WSOP schedule:

I know I'm playing good. I have been selling myself like a prostitute on Chipmeup, trying to build a little reputation over there, but have largely come up short.

First off I just gotta give a shout to David Plastik, who just won a 40ball @ the Commerce LAPC event #2. I can't find any links to it yet, so I will wait on the home page story, but as you can see the blog is blowin' up and this is where I will drop info before home page.

God Damnit. I started this site so I didn't have to work. Now they are making me work, but they claim it will make me more $. The lazy Jew in me must believe them. Simonas told me that while I was in "normal condition" (i.e. freaking out with almost daily panic attacks after big car accident but not smoking marijuana or cigarette) I should tell you all about some parts of NWP you may not know about.

Check out the NWP Poker Strategy section. Bet you didn't know we had that shit. Turns out the Lits have contracted one Aaron Hendrix (3rd cousin of Jimmy and frequent LSD user) to talk about why you make 1/2 or 1/3 size bets on the flop.

Another part of NWP you might not know about is the Freeroll Tournaments section. This is where you can take $0 and run it into $3,000,000 just like a 16 year old from Europe did named Annette_15. Likely, you will just waste infinite time and get nothing, but hey, that's a freeroll.

Chances are some of you are actually reading this :sweetblog right now. That is because our chief Lithuanian, Simonas, has listened to what we asked and make the front page with prominent blog placement. It looks awesome, so now I will have nice blog so that people can read even more about me than what I post on the forums.

Just after posting my last blog entry, I load up cake and see full ring 6/12 running for the first time ever. Luckily there was an open seat because I knew this game would A) Fill up quickly because no one ever sees it running and B) Likely to break, because thats what these games do for some reason, hence them not ever running.

Yep so after busting that other 100, I put another 100 back on, and have that up to 400. Its been a pretty swingy ride.. mostly on 2/4-4/8 fixed limit ring games, with a few tourneys mixed in. I'll update if anything big happens.

I was at Commerce last night playing 400-800. This obnoxious Asian woman, who is a regular in the game, wanted to switch seats from #4 to #6. I was in Seat 5. She tried to slide her chips past me over to Seat 6, but predictably, the stacks fell and it became a huge mess.

Stu Ungar did so much cocaine his nose collapsed. In addition to that he was the best tournamanet poker player to ever live. He ran over the competition and then started in on the crack rocks. I cannot say enough how brilliant this book is. Just instantly buy the book:
One of a Kind: The Rise and Fall of Stuey ',The Kid', Ungar, The World's Greatest Poker Player

Just wanted to post this on my blog before I went another day forgetting about it. On President-Elect Barack Obama's website at Change.gov is a section where people can vote on the top issues that need to be addressed by the incoming administration.

I know not too many people might read the miscellaneous ramblings of this NWP blog I just decided to start writing in - but hell, might as well do something while I work on my websites and pass some time.  For those who don't know me too well,
