Here we go again...

It appears that some of you clownshoes liked my blogging, so I am going to start it back up now that the WSOP is starting again.

I just busted from Event #1, the Casino Employee's Event. I lasted all of 45 minutes. Around 850 entered and I was out around 800th or so. Well played! No, really, I picked up two red aces in middle position at 25/50 (Level 1), and with 2 limpers in already, I bumped it up to 200. Both called and we saw a flop of K84, one club. I bet out 500 into a pot of 625, the big blind check raises to 2,000 and I only had 1,600 behind. I snap call and was pretty sure that she paired her king, which she did...and here is where it gets interesting. We both tabled our hands and I saw that she had KQ. I thought she had KcQs. The board ran out running clubs and I thought I was getting shipped the pot. The dealer pushes the pot to her and someone says, "Oh man, I didn't see the flush!" I looked back at her cards and she obv had KcQc and had gone runner runner on me. I had a sickening, helpless feeling and said, "Oh my God" but then wished everyone good luck and I obv headed over to Cane's on the way home for a #2 box of chicken fingers.

Poker is fun for everyone.

Like last year, I will take on double duty and work 2 full time jobs. I am still at Treasure Island and went ahead and signed up to deal the Series (but only because you guys liked my stories which I am sure there will be plenty of this year :-)

This year I will be working day shift at the WSOP and at Treasure Island, I will be working the 10pm shift. As long as I can balance, and get, a decent amount of sleep, I should fair well. I am not too concerned with myself...I am more excited about so many friends of mine entering so many events this year and I know that some of them are going to make some final tables. I have a really good feeling that one of my friends is going to take down a bracelet this year.

I recently moved into a baller house with online poker pro Chad Batista. I consider myself very lucky to get this opportunity for many reasons which I will explain in more detail as the summer goes on. Chad "lilholdem954" Batista just got in his car to go sign up for Event #2. This event's buy in? $40,000.

LOL.

P.S. I really don't think you all are clownshoes...but can you find a better word to call your friends?
