I’m rounding the 700,000 VPP corner and the end is in sight. Well almost. Actually no not really. There’s still a long, uphill battle ahead. I’m on track to make it by the 20th of December assuming maintaining a 10k per day average. Yesterday Puneet and I booked our flights to India leaving on the … Read more →

I’m not going to lie, life is hectic at the moment. I haven’t given up trying to get SNE and I don’t intend to – but it has been a rough start (or re-start rather). I go back and forth between playing a max of 12-15 tables and attempting to play up to 21 tables … Read more →

As some of you may know, though most probably don’t, it was Puneet and My engagement party this past weekend. I will absolutely be writing a post dedicated to that night/weekend when all of our photos come through but suffice to say it was hands down one of the best nights of my life. Not … Read more →

Questionable Hamlet paraphrasing aside, I have been debating back and forth in my mind for some time now whether or not I should try and make SNE this year. It had been established as essentially a sure fire thing until a recent bout of travelling + live tournaments. Due to a one-year-only rule in Stars … Read more →

Wow, what a month it’s been. I made it – that is that I hit my goal of 150k hands. With a whole 4 minutes to spare. It got a bit silly at the end – I was running out of time and opted to grind 8 tables of low stakes Zoom! to make sure … Read more →

August has been my busiest month of the year to date in regards to poker. I played a total of 208.61 hours (gotta get that .61 in there) which at 6-12 tables comes to a nice even 116,665 hands. For the most part I felt like I played very well although there were definitely some … Read more →

I’m going to delay the posting of beautiful photos of sunny Mexican beaches and bright turquoise waters and instead bore you all with some poker nonsense. Wait, what kind of a blog is this again? May & June were some pretty brutal months and involved the biggest downswing I’ve had so far this year — … Read more →

Dear blog, When we spoke last I was harshly critiquing Mass Effect and reveling in the joy of the poker gods taking me out of their cross hairs. Not much has changed since then. I finished Mass Effect (and will be speaking of the game a bit, spoiler alert blah blah) and my dislike for the … Read more →

  It’s going to be one of those months. I can just tell. I’ve played three sessions already this morning, all shorter than the last, and none more than 200 hands. I’m sure that I am running bad and doing so in all the usual annoying spots: being out-flopped, having every c-bet raised and every … Read more →

It’s been an insane 40 hours. Between trying to grind 24 tables of midstakes PLO in the build up to the 60 billionth hand on stars (didn’t even get close to it) and trying to be awake for some of the juicier double guarantee, multi-entry MTTs on FTP this week I have been grinding myself … Read more →
