        My mojo is coming back! Nothing really exciting happened last night. I played a strong aggressive game and took no shit from nobody. The button would always

        I think my mojo is coming back. I came 4th last night night in the tournament ending a long drought of cashing in tournaments. I was quite suprised to get there actually because I had no hands for the first 3 hours. When we got down to 13 handed I pushed with KsQs and turned the nuts a

        Another Tuesday goes by and another resultless night goes by at the River Room. I have had no luck in the Tuesday tournament since it started. I had good Tuesdays at the old River Room and at Benny's but not at the new River Room. I made 2 hands out of the blinds, in unraised pots

        Got off to a great start last night. Third hand in I limped in late position with Ad5d. The flop came 2d 4d 10c. I flop the nut flush draw and a gutshot. Mid position bets out 250 and I raise to 1000. The big blind raises to 4000 and everybody folds to me. I ask the tournament director

        Nothing really exciting to report on this one. Couldn't find a hand to stand up for most of the 2 hours I was in this tournament. Ended up making a stand with 88 in late position and ran into 99 on the BB.

        Carl chopped it last night. Nice one C!

        Played in the WSOP Qualifier at the River Room last night. 42 players, $21,000 in the prize pool and 1 seat guanteed for the WSOP Main Event.

        I played more aggressive in this tournament than I normally do. I lost half my stack doing this and then I bluffed a couple of hands

        Congratulations to Henry Tran from our home town of Toronto. Winner of the 2007 Johnny Chan Poker Classic in BC. A nice payday of $325,000.

        Went to see the movie Lucky You last night. What a waste of $11.95! Avoid it unless you have 2 hours to waste.

        I didn't make it to day 2 but but some of the guys from Toronto did. Jack, Brian, Henry, Amer, Danny & Narinder all survived day 1. Danny, Amer & Brian fought valiantly but didn't make the money. Jack finished in 31st but had to suffer a terrible beat to get knocked out. Hi

        Arrived here on Saturday evening, checked into the hotel and went downstairs to pay for the tournaments. The first tournament was already sold out so I paid for Mondays short handed tournament and the Main Event. I will decide later whether I want to play the Pot Limit Hold-Em and PLO events

        This was my last tournament in Toronto before I leave for Vancouver on Saturday. I figured if I won tonight it would be a change in luck in the right direction and if I lost tonight I figured that I was just getting rid of my last bit of bad luck in Ontario. I have to be positive and this wa

        Feeling very low right now. My team, Manchester United, just lost 3-0 to AC Milan in the semi final second leg of the Champions League. I guess I knew we were going to loose because we are very weak defensively right now. All is not lost though, we are still top of the Premiership and we are

        Not much to report on on this one. In the first 10 minutes of the tournament I lost half my stack in 3 hands. First I lost with pocket 10's on a 5 7 8 flop when 2 players flopped sets (55 & 77) and the other player flopped an up and down with 66. The 9 came on the turn and the 6
