WBCOOP 2007

I have registered to play in the PokerStars World Blogger Championship of Online Poker!

This Online Poker Tournament is a No Limit Texas Holdem event exclusive to Bloggers.

Registration code: 4545087

Thats right folks, the WBCOOP is right around the corner...

October 14th to be exact. This has got to be the most +EV tourney in the history of online poker, and I love the setup but have blanked out the past 2 years. Hopefully that will change this year.

Updates to come soon....

GO HOGS!

MCFADDEN FOR HEISMAN!

Late, Dornie

Update

Damn, I never post on this thing anymoore. It has been over two months. I just thought I would stop in and say what up.

Like all other Neteller customers, I still have my withdrawal seized by the USAO. But promising is the fact that they say within 75 days of March 20, they will release the plan on how they will return the money.

I have played a little bit lately, but I get up pretty big and then jump off into limits that are way over my head and bankroll, and manage to donk it all off. I still enjoy playing, and like to play a lot more live now than I used to. One, b/c I have a lil more money in the bank than when I first started playing, and Two, b/c I am just a little better and not as gunshy.

I have a fantastic Tunica trip coming up. It is for my buddy's bachelor party. I am planning it, and although I am behind in the process, and I can't do much else good, I can plan a fuckin kick ass bachelor party. We are going to go for the weekend, and stay in Tunica, probably at the Gold Stirke. We are going to go into Memphis Sat. night while Memphis in May is going on, which is the best town party ever. Whole story in itself. Do a little golfing, and also some competition-style skeet shooting on Sunday. Thats all I got for now, maybe I won't wait 2 months before posting again. Also, check out Shannor Shorr if you haven't already. Dude is a pretty level headed dude, and makes some serious jack playing cards for a living, loves to drink,is Southern, plays at retarded levels, and is not a fuckin dork like most serious players.

Happy Easter!

Neteller Sucks

Ok, everyone has heard...Neteller pulled a bitch move and suspended all transactions to US customers...I have a withdrawal that I put in before this all happened that is just floating in cyberspace somewhere, good thing it isn't a very big amount. I did call support though, and they told me because of the backlog, that it may be up to two weeks before I see my funds.

It seems that ePassPorte and Click2Pay are the only two "e-wallets" that are still taking on US customers, and Ive heard that Click2Pay has suspended new registrations for the time being because of the onrush of new accounts being opened. Pokerstars, my primary site, doesn't accept Click2Pay right now anyways so it doesn't affect me much. Matter of fact, the only way to process a withdrawal currently is with an ePassPorte account. I have money on there, and don't need to withdraw so I am going to try to just build my bankroll a little.

In better news...I took down a $20+2 45-man SNG last night for $279, so that was nice...I have been doing pretty well lately, I have stayed away from cash games, and played SNGs and MTTs only. I have been taking shots in "bigger" MTTs than normal. I have cashed in a $20+2 and and $25+2.50 MTT the last two nights....I made a good run in the $20 and finished 38th, I was playing to win and made a call that a probably shouldn't have to end it. In the $27.50 I finished like 108th or something, top 180 paying. I crept into the money, and then built my stack a bit before I open-dropped with A7o from mid position on to get called by a shorter stack and then the BB who was Top 5 in chips. BB has KK, SS has QQ...I flop the miracle "A" and would've jumped to the top of the pack by tripling up, but Lee Jones didn't want that to happen so he threw the BB third K out on the river. Game Over.

So I am feeling fairly confident right now online, so I'll see where it goes from here...LATE

Things pickin up a little...Tunica Trip

I don't want to get to ahead of myself and say things are going good, poker wise. But...I have mananged to turn a small deposit into something to wok with finally.

I have been rather unsuccessful in doing much online lately. I have only been playing frequently on Stars for about a month now, ever since the fall semester ended. Mostly I have been taking big shots in MTTs and then grinding back through low limit cash games and SNGs...I actually have made most money through SNGs which is odd, b/c I don't normally favor them.

My best MTT finish was a not so great 60th out of 1028...it was a $20+2, so I made like $40...I was set up so nice to FT it though, I was about 20th out of 60 when I busted...I raised from SB with Jc10c and the BB called....flop of J high so I pushed....he thought and thought and finally made the call with KJ, I didn't improve. I have had a few other small cashes in tourneys, but nothing that looked like it was going anywhere once we made the money.

My boy Craig is leaving the country in 2 weeks to go study abroad...errr....get wasted in Amsterdam for 6 months. He actually is going through school to study business in Amsterdam. So we thought we should go to Tunica for a going-away party of sorts. The WPT World Poker Poen and the WSOP Circuit Event will both be going on so the Grand and Gold Strike should be the place to be, and maybe we will get to see some of the high-limit poker players we read about like in the past. There is a 1k buy-in on Saturday, and I think we are going to try to satellite into it and maybe one of my buddies my buy str8 in. Its gettin kinda hard to right about the low limits my friendsand I still play the older I get and the more the money I am making at these levels becomes less and less gratifying. It seems like I may never get anywhere as far as a big bankroll without taking down one of the big MTTs that I play b/c I usually think of something I want to buy outside of my normal expenditures and cash out and do so.

So Tunica should be a blast this weekend, and I will report on my trip when I get back. I m thinkin about writing a "Goals for 2007" blog for myself like last year, but my number one goal is to graduaute college which has nothing to do with poker, so we'll see. Until next time, GOOD NIGHT NOW!

I still have a blog...

Wow, its been awhile...more like 1.5 months. I didn't quit updating on purpose or for any particular reason other than time conflicts. And the lack of my poker playing for the 2nd half of the year. My poker playing, at least online, all but stopped when school started back at the end of August. I had a pretty tuff schedule this semester and I work almost 40 hours a week, so the time committment needed for online poker, esp. MTTs, was not there. I also didn't wuit playing b/c of that stupid act in my last post like some of you, or like some of you thought I did.

Anways, again I don't have much time, but did want to let you know that I was still alive. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, b/c I did. My lil boy is going to be 3 in Jan. so this year was fun. I could start using the "Santa won't come if your not good" threat finally, but still not quite old enough to really understand and for it to work with precision.

I will start trying to update at least once a week. I am out of school until jan. 16th and should have plenty of time to play and post some results. I haven't really been doing anything much lately. A couple of cashes in some MTTs but gettin screwed or going card dead when it really counts.

Looking foward to Tunica in January. The poker world comes to the Vegas of the South, which isnt far from me, and I will be spending as much time there as I can.

Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006

Sorry I haven't been able to post in awhile....school has kept me from playing very much.....I leave the house for work at 6:50am and dont get home until about 8:30pm after school/work.....Well all the talk is about this new dumbass law that our wonderful country passed, and the only reason they did was b/c they weren't making any money off it...Anywayz....I could bitch for days about how much I hate that they(GOV) even attempted to take online poker away from me. According to what I read, they haven't won...Most of the sites are saying they will keep taking US bets like they always have, with the exception of the pussy know as Party Poker, they have already said they are down indefinately....how soccer like...running away with their tail tucked between their legs....Aight, well, know that Pokerstars has said this http://www.pokerstars.com/legislation/uigea/ I will be back playing as soon as possible....Late

Narrated Video Recap of Pokersavvy Freeroll

I'm Famous folks....not really, matter of fact, not even close...but I will say this is the 1st time I have watched myself play online poker with commentators and will probably not happen again, or at least until the next Pokersavvy blogger freeroll...And by the way, all bloggers can get in these freerolls, and the overlay is rediculous, so if you want info, hit me up....Without further ado............here it is.........

PokerSavvy Freeroll

It has been awhile, I know...I really don't get to play even half as much as I used to because of my school schedule....I work 8-5 M-F and then I go to school afternoon/night and Mon. and Wed. I dont get home until like 8:30. So I can't make the time commitment for MTTs very much on week nights anymore, and I am always busy on the weeekends...Don't get me wrong, I am still a loser gambling degenerate...Its now football season, so I am in weekly pots as well as occassional wagering on Bodog...I don't have much to show for the little I have played, I have been playing pretty well in MTTs, gettin chips early and holding on to them for the 1st couple of hours, only to misplay a hand or get shafted by some idiot who tries to give his chips to me.

I am not much a freeroll guy, mainly b/c there are usually to many people for to small of a prizepool, and its not worth the time...Well, PokerSavvy had been pimpin this freeroll, part of their blogger tour, for quite some time, and I figured I would atleast check it out...It was a $1000 prize pool, which many are, but it only ended of having 21 people....now thats +EV....Top 3 paid...500, 300, 200....I played really well, and got 3rd....I mainly wanted to just make the money, so when I did, I got KQos next hand and pushed only to get called by Ax and lose....but hey....FREEROLL....like 1.5 hours maybe....Ill take $200 every day of the week...

So , I will try to keep this updated as much as possible, and will continue to play as much as possible...If anyone that reads this, that is a college student and would be interested in getting Cardplayer College for your organization for free, contact me....I am a Campus Rep for them here in Arkansas....Late

Tunica, Titan, and The Hogs

Last weekend, me and some of the boys went to Tunica, MS for a couple of days. Tunica isn't Vegas, and I haven't been, but it hsa to be second....I like to refer to it as the Vegas of the SouthEast...We had a hell of a time, and I actually didn't lose very much money at all...We played golf at Tunica National on Saturday Afternoon, four of us, so we decided to gamble and split into a 2 vs 2 scramble....Well, Craig& DJ evidently didn't get the memo that going to Tunica a night early and staying up all night drinking/gambling, not sleeping even five minutes, and continuing that until we picked you up in the lobby the next day at 2:30pm is not the best way to prepare yourselves to play golf. Needless to say, NateDogg and I were more than eager to get at this money making oppurtunity. And yes, we beat them, pretty bad, by 4 strokes..which in a 2-man scramble is far worst than just stroke play. Had a helluva a time and drank the whole round of course.
We got back to the casino and only could think about eating a good meal, and I didn't want to play first to get a comp so we could eat, but with Gregger urging, we decided that paying for a meal in a casino is the same as capital murder....so we hit the craps tables for like 15 minutes and then got $20 comps to the Atruim, which is quite fantastic...After we ate, which seemed like we ate for like 3 hours, we went str8 up to the poker room and played all night, atleast til about 5 in the morning....played $3/$6 limit which seems like a grind, but we had a damn good time, and after playing 6 hours of Poker, we got a $12 comp to the Atrium....wait that doesn't make any sense....Buy-in at the Craps table for $40, play for 15 min....get $20 comp....Buy-in at the Poker table for $150, play for 6 hours...get a $12 comp...oh well, it was still good when we used it...
We played in a $50 freezeout at Sam's Town the next day at 11:00am, which means I got little rest, but was suprisingly ready to go the next morning...71 players, Top 9 pay, with 1st getting about $1250...I busted I think about 26th after being severly crippled when my KK got cracked by JJ when he flopped his set, but 2 out of 7 of us that played made the final table...So congrats to Twitty and Coby...although it didn't pay excellent, still a good accomplishment, Twitty got 7th and Coby got 5th...After the tourney, we went back to the Gold Strike to eat, and then from there played a little bit more and then went the hell home...

Since I have been back I have been playing on Titan Poker again...not b/c of the wide(horribly small) selection of games or their awesome(mediocre at best) software, but because they gave me $50 for free...Friday night I had some drinks and managed to take that $50 down to exactly $15.50...On Tuesday night, I got on there playing retard-aggressive and managed to turn that $15.50 into almost $250 somehow, what a donk....but since then have slowed down and it has been nice to be playing some half-decent games with a little bank, and have went up even more since then...but one problem faces me...POKERNET actually issued the bonus and they say you can't withdraw any money until you earn 4500 Titan points, in fact, they say that Titan will lock up your account if you try...Well....I think this is bullshit, POKERNET, other than being in some sort of affiliate type program with Titan, has nothing to do with them, and they should not be able to control user's accounts/withdrawals, I tried to get to the bottom of this with the help of Titan's Online Support last night, which is a joke...The guy's name was supposed to be Eddie, and you all know that was really Mohammad Ouhskjdojd Ojdfiunweewfwjin Indsciudv Ammon...but he wouldn't say anything when I got down to it, but call the toll free phone number for the Terms/Conditions and insisted on giving me the number like 15 times....but I will figure this out, and plan on making a withdrawal far before I reach 4500 Titan points, so I will let you alll know when I do...

Until then I dont have much, only 9 days left until the Razorbacks first game Vs. USC in Fayetteville...so definately looking foward to that....Late

Razorback takes 25th in WSOP Main Event 2006

Well, a huge congratulations to Mark Garner from Little Rock, AR for taking down 25th place in the WSOP Main Event this year...I just found out and that's why I am a little late posting it...Mark aka MGCAPRI on Pokerstars won his seat in the $10000 buy-in ME from the ever so famous $160 Double-Shootouts on Pokerstars.

Hardly ever do you see names from the SouthEast US going far in any of the big events, much less the Main Event, and even more less someone from Arkansas...Mark is an investment banker in Little Rock for Simmons First Ivestment Group, and is already back to work, and I'm sure that he will know how to "invest" that $500k properly...Seeing that this guy live in Little Rock, he might participate in a home game around here somewhere, and I would like to meet this guy....

So anyways, Another big shout out to Mark G. for an amazing accomplishment...

On my degenerate end of the poker world, I haven't been playing much...just mainly MTTs, nothing big enough to note, a few cashes, but I have been real busy getting ready for school and what-not and haven't had the time to play, but me and guys(except Belew's homo ass) are going to Tunica, so I will be playin the cash games there Sat. night and a tourney Sunday morning....So I will proabably post after the trip, unless I have a good score tonight or tomm...Late

And Remember...
