Friday's Updates

yesterday was such a confidence builder. I had my highest earnings ever for a single day!! after 16 hours of poker I was up $7,500.

I played 20/40 FLH from 10am - 5pm , and crushed the table for $1200. It was the softest 20/40 game i had ever played in my life. Some people had no clue what they were doing. Its funny because this game is considered the "big game" in the Brantford poker room but is peanuts here. They have 200/400 games going on the regular and higher.

I've been meeting some fellow online players who's screen names i know but I obvIously had no idea who they were. One specifically was grpoker2 , who is just a sicko and Jeff sweat him (got to see his whole cards) for 2 hours straight .

My big score came in the Friday Night $30.000 guareteed NLH tourney. It started at 6pm with 150 entrants. I made it to the final 5 people and we all agreed to divide of the remainder of the prize pool 5 ways based on how many chips we had! I was chip leader so i ended up cashing $6300.

Not sure whats on the agenda for today. 
Happy Halloween people.

Safe & Sound in LA

Jeff and I arrived in LA on time Wednesday and got to the Commerce Casino around noon Pacific time . We dropped our bags off with the bell boy walked around for about about 30minutes and then jumped into a 20/40 FLH table which is the lowest game in the "high roller room". I played for 6 hours and left the table -$300 (which isn't a lot for that game). I proceeded to play a ridiculous $95 turbo tournament which had 58 entrants and i came 14th , but only top 5 cashed. James and his 2 friends showed up from Vegas later on and we pretty much called it a night.

On Thursday I played 20/40 FLH and lost $500 while waiting for the 40/80 FLH game. I played 40/80 all day and left the table up $300 but was still down $200 on the day which was annoying.

The high roller room is pretty sweet , they essentially treat you like royalty . Everything is pretty much on the house. For example last night i had a New York strip loin, mashed potatoes, a plate of fresh strawberries and a milkshake for dinner and all you have to do is tip the waitress $1.

Everyone is so laid back here its wicked. You can eat meals at the table, listen to your I pod, and the customer service goes above and beyond.
Also the LA Poker Open  starts November 3rd and runs for 3 weeks and it has some big tourneys so im excited to play in a few events.
