...to my website. It's currently undergoing some renovations, but enjoy for the time being!
- 12.16.11 - Took 3rd in the MKPC tourney... four-flushed with 22 against QQ in a big pot early on against Ben Mohr that would have eliminated me.
- 12.02.11 - Took home the top prize in Kevin's tourney... had a great 3-way battle w/ Carrie (runner-up) and Doug. The key hand against Carrie was when the flop came down KQ5... we got it all in... I had JT, she had Qx... 9 on the turn sealed it.
- 10.07.11 - Finished in the money (ITM) (3rd place) in Kevin's tourney... first time ITM since December 2009! Andrew dominated this tourney from the start.
- 08.05.11 - Could not get much going in Kevin's tourney... lost two big hands late to Dave... one w/ 44 (I folded after the AK5 flop) and another w/ J9 (my pre-flop shove got called by Dave's KQ).
- 06.03.11 - In Kevin's tourney, stuck it all-in on the AT7 flop w/ AK after a min-raise from Bill... he flipped over AA, game over.
- 04.01.11 - Got crippled shortly before the final table in Kevin's tourney when I open shoved on the button with Jd Td... I actually rivered a straight, but Teresa's pocket kings turned a flush... waaah!
- 02.04.11 - Another bust out before the final table in Kevin's tourney... flopped two pair in a limped pot, only to have Kevin hit a straight on the turn... then KQ < A7, all-in pre-flop against Brian Pankhurst, who was aiming for my bounty.
- 12.03.10 - Out very early in Kevin's tourney... bluffed off half my stack in a hand... then TT < AQ, all-in pre-flop against Tejune Kang.

- 08.06.10 - Started hot at Kevin's tourney (flopped a set of sevens... then kings). Later with AA, I got into a pre-flop raising war with Leigh... 9TJ flop... she had pocket jacks... out well short of the final table.
- 07.16.10 - Out shortly before the final table in the MKPC tourney... with the blinds getting high, my AQ ran into Mike A's pocket aces... July has been brutal.

- 06.19.10 - Out in the 3rd hour of the Oaks Card Club's Saturday NLHE tourney... was an 82% favorite to chip up to about an average stack on my elimination hand... nice little warm up before next week's WSOP tourney (Event # 45) in Vegas... baby.
- 06.11.10 - Out early in the MKPC tourney... card dead all night... my stack got low, then KJ < 33.
- 06.04.10 - Out very early in Kevin's tourney... shoved all-in for about 10 big blinds (blind) in the big blind after 4 limpers... early limper called with AK... I had 73o... blank board for me.
- 05.13.10 - Out just short of the money bubble (7th out of 30) in Atlantic City Showboat's $65, late night tourney... 33 < KQ... 3 1/2 hours for naught.
- 04.23.10 - Out early in the MKPC tourney. Squeeze play w/ AJo backfired... got called by JJ and the 3 remaining aces were dead!... but still at the top of the leaderboard with 4 weeks to go.
- 04.17.10 - Took down my second MKPC tourney. Sucked out on the river early on w/ Q8s to stay alive... then the turning point at the final table is when I tripled up w/ A8o against TT and 33.
- 04.09.10 - Out early in Kevin's tourney. Teresa had my number... she took a large pot from me w/ AJ (flopped a straight) against my pocket aces... then knocked me out w/ AK against my pocket queens.
