        Played in Ottavio's tournament last night. 27 players, $20,000 in chips and 30 minute blinds. Didn't play a hand for the first 30 minutes, not that I didn't want to I just didn't get any playable hands. Add to that, both my horses were on my tabl

        Hello readers

        I would just like to apologize to my readers for the lack of poker ramblings on my blog in the last few weeks. I have been extremely busy and I am moving into a new apartment with my wife. On top of this there is a lack of live tournaments in the Toronto area because a lot o

        Manchester United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is set to announce his retirement from football on Tuesday.

        MATCHDAY 19/08/07 - GAME 3

        Manchester City made it three Premier League wins out of three this season with a shock win over rivals United.

        Didn't last very long in this tournament. Just after the break I got short stacked and pushed preflop for 3500 (300/600) with 77. Got called by 44. Flop came 10JQ. The turn was the 2 and the river was the 8. Yes, I was beaten by a 4 high flush on the river. Nice!

        08/13/07


        MATCHDAY 12/08/07 GAME 1

        Manchester United had an uncomfortable start to the season as the champions were outsmarted tactically by Reading.

        The River Room added a new twist its' tournaments yesterday. Instead of just the first player out getting the option of the re-buy, each table was given 1 re-buy. If the first player on your table refuses the re-buy then that table does not get a re-buy. Make sense? Yes, Good.

        Played a $500+$50 Super Sat at the Rio on this day. 380 players and a $3000 starting stack. 18 seats to the main event were being given away on this day. The blind structure in these events is very aggressive so there is no sitting back and waiting for hands in this event. You must play.

        The curse continues!!!

        Early on in the tournament, I am in seat 7 (blinds are 50/100) I limp with 77. 7 players see the flop (the number 7 features alot recently in my cursed period). The flop comes 7c 2s 3c. Small blind checks, I check and the next guy bets 500 fold, fold, call,

        Just call me bubble boy tonight! After 6 hours of playing poker like a champ, I busted out of tonights tournament in 7th place. I felt sick. I reached the final table with a healthy 42K stack (average was 30K) and the very first hand I increased it to 54K. My nemisis was at the table too, Fr

        F@#$ing Frank! Still got his hard on for me. I went all in with AdQd in the tourney last night and Frank called me with AsJc. The flop came Ks 10s 4c, Js on the turn giving me the nut straight. Then, you guessed it, 4s on the river giving him a flush. At least I was out in 40 minutes and not

        Playing the usual Thursday night tournament last night. Doubled up pretty early with QQ against J 10 on a J high flop. After the break I went pretty dead until I found A Q. I raised to 3200 (blinds were 500/1000) and Manny went all in for 6000, I called knowing I was loosing but I was gettin

        Played some good poker last night. Had a pretty easy table with a lot of weak players. The average stack at the final table was about 22K and I only had 11K. Made some great laydowns preflop and some great steals myself. I got lucky with 8 players to go when I made a move with Ks 7s, I went
