Welcome
Well I figured I might as well start a blog, since all the cool people do it. ;)
Actually, I've had about 20 people ask me to start one, but I wasn't sure if I really wanted to. If I think about it, I've been using http://www.pokerpoker.ca as my blog whenever I'm at a major event, so I might as well have my own. I'll still post on pokerpoker though.
I'll be using this blog to post interesting hands in cash and tournament play, results of tournaments I make it deep into, and regular updates whenever I'm in a major tournament anywhere in the world.
In the past 5 months, I have played in tournaments in Sarnia, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Bahamas, and Monte Carlo. My next destination is Las Vegas on April 4th. I'll be trying to qualify for the $25,000 WPT Championship.
Until then, I'll be playing mostly online at Pokerstars under the name 'mysterio6044'. In preparation, I'll be focusing only on tournaments. I had a good start yesterday, placing 1st out of 235 players in a $33 Omaha tournament. It paid around $2000, which is still pretty good for a $33 buy-in. I also came so close to qualifying for the $10,000 WPT Foxwoods event. The qualifier started with around 300 players, with the top 2 players winning the package. I ended up busting out in 5th and only made $175.
