Let the grind continue!!!

The past 3 or 4 days have been crazy busy for me as I’ve been playing around 40 tournaments a night. I’ve also switched over into full “endur” mode…eating healthy and trying to pace myself by getting tons of sleep etc. The plan is to grind, starting at low stakes and working my [...]

Big Money Sunday – July 25th

Those who spend the first two months of the summer in Las Vegas covering the WSOP tend to think of it as “summer camp” by the time we hit the end. So many people you see day in and day out, watching the same action, writing about the same players. Summer camp ended [...]

:(

My apologies for writing this 10 days later, I was just in no mood.
Day 3 started bad from the very beginning:

2010 World Series of Poker: What’s next?

Things are finally starting to settle down around here where I’ve mostly recovered from forced sleep deprivation and a poor diet.
