Had a good time last night hosting a nice little poker game for some friends. We actually were able to generate enough interest to start off the game with 9 seats filled with the 10th coming in just a little bit later. We played a cash game instead of what seems to be the normal Sit-n-Go’s in this area. Blinds were just .05-.10 and the max buyin was $20 so it made for a nice game. At those stakes of course it’s still going to be a wild, loose, and friendly game but a $15 or $20 bet will at least make you think a bit more than if you bought into a tourney for $5.
I will need to get at least a few more chips if I can make this a monthly game as after a few people went busto and re-bought I was running low. Also need to ensure that I have more small bills available for the cashing out at the end of the night. I was fine this time since I was up a good amount and just rounded everyone else up a bit when cashing out.
My plan is to build a nice tabletop this winter but I will probably at least buy the speed felt for it sooner rather than later. Using our granite table in the dining room worked, but it was too slippery to use my good plastic COPAG card set. Overall it was a good time had by all I would say and next month we’re going to try and do it again. Can’t wait!
Let’s see, this will be the 4th year in a row. Two of the previous 3 I’ve gone pretty deep and close to the prizes. Watch out world!

So I’ve got a room reserved at the Trop in AC on Friday May 30th. Any semi-local bloggers that are going to be around that weekend or want to meet up? I’m bringing a buddy of mine along that never has been to a casino before and I’m not looking to necessarily play much poker this trip. Just want to go out and have some fun. So let me know!
Well I didn’t last long in the big game on Sunday. Bayne knocked me out pretty early after I was playing like the drugged up aggro-donkey that I am. My mind just wasn’t in it and so I basically just donated to the cause. I missed the Hoy last night as I was just too tired to even contemplate the effort, although I did win one of the early day token frenzys so I’m ready for next week.
Overall I’m not going to play all that many of the BBT3 events. I would love to play them all but 9pm start times and later fields pretty much will keep me from doing that. If I manage 1 or 2 a week then I’ll be happy and also give myself at least a decent shot of winning a seat. After all, I HAVE won a few of these blogger thingys before, right?
Well, thanks to Al’s great work in generating interest from Full Tilt in sponsoring our little private tournies, there is a great prize pool available for the BBT3. Most of the details can be found in this post from Al and I’m going to actually try and play some of these and win my seat to the WSOP this year.
