Happy Holidays!
It's been a while since my last update, no excuses really, just been lazy/nothing exciting to write about/no deep finishes. And it's not because I've been away from poker, it's quite the opposite actually. I've been putting in a lot of time online and live in the past 3 months and I feel like I'm back in full stride and my confidence is as high as ever. It feels really good to be excited about poker again. I haven't cashed in the last few tourneys I've played in, but I don't feel like I'm doing anything different, that's just the nature of tournament poker.
Actually, I did win a major tournament recently, WNP. For some reason it's not recognized by CardPlayer yet, but we are working on that. For those people who have never heard of it, it's kind of like PAD but without the TVs and the players are much better. ;)
In the past couple of months I played in the Caesars Palace Classic, the B.C. Poker Championships, a small tourney in Turning Stone, NY and the LAPT event in Mexico. I'm taking this month off from traveling but I'll be back on the road after Christmas.
Our local casino (Casino du Lac Leamy) recently added live poker tables to their poker room to replace the electronic ones. I must say, the action has been amazing! The rake is a little high, but it's so good to have a real poker room so close to home. If you live close to Ottawa be sure to check it out!
I'll be playing the PCA in the Bahamas from January 5th - 10th. It will be nice to get away from the cold and snow! After that, there is an EPT event in Deauville, France on January 20th. I'm not 100% sure I'm going to that one because I'm also thinking of spending about a month in L.A. to play in the LAPC, where they're holding around 35 events, starting on January 22nd.
My CardPlayer articles should be back for the new year, I haven't written any in the past few months but I have some good new material to work with now. Also, Season 3 of the Myst Poker Tour is scheduled to start around March. Once again, we will be sending someone to play in the World Series of Poker for free! Stay tuned for details...
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Marc,
I thought I saw someone at the Turning Stone tourney a few weeks back with a MYST POKER jacket on...but I looked a little closer and didn't think it was you. Did you have some of your friends with you that might have had that Jacket on? Anyways, been tracking your progress for years and you seem like a humble, great player. Happy Holidays...Jonathan aka MeanJG

Thanks guys, Happy Holidays to you too!
And to Jonathon, yes I was with a bunch of friends at Turning Stone and a couple of them were wearing a hoodie or a jacket with the MystPoker logo on the side, so it was probably them that you saw.
Thanks for the kind words and hope to see you at the tables some day!
