Horse falls
Friday, February 19th, 2010Thankfully this is not a blog from Santa Anita races. It is from the Commerce where the 96 entry $10k HORSE tournie from LAPC 2009 has only attracted a sub par field of 16 as I write. Two entries, Alex Ewald+Tony Niersick have never cashed in a non internet tournament.The ones I can name are [...]
Will it end in tears for Adam?
Thursday, February 18th, 2010Adam Friedman is famous for crying,on camera, after being eliminated in 43rd place in the 2005 WSOP ME.Since then he has a very good record in mixed games both cash and tournies. He started as the chip leader on the final day of the 8 game tournie at the LAPC. As I write he is [...]
Badugi is bad
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010Matt added a Badugi tournament on Monday afternoon but very few showed up for the party. I don’t think the fact that JR Bellande was playing cash downstairs helped. That diverted potential entrants Barry Greenstein, Ralph Perry, Billy Baxter and Eli Elezra away.
Those who put up the $1065: Allen Kessler, Tom Schneider, Mo Fathipour, Sabyl [...]
Asian Tea is good
Monday, February 15th, 2010Probably the first February weekend that I could comfortably wear shorts . My friend Vanna Tea is in day2 of the $1m guarantee tournie and she briefly took the lead when eliminating Ted Jikhov.26 remain and after the redraw she is still in seat one and Carlos Mortensen in seat 8.
The guy who always tells [...]
St Trinians on top form
Sunday, February 14th, 2010St Trinians is well known and loved to many Brits of my generation. Not the horse but the fictional school created by Robin Searle and made into comedy films starring every British actor worth calling himself such. One of the movies “The Belles of St Trinians” involves the girls from the sixth form trying to [...]
Norwegian Wood
Saturday, February 13th, 2010Actually it was Matt Woodward who defeated Norwegian veteran Thor Hansen in a turbo six handed final at the LAPC today. The room was dead with only 71 players in the 1pm LHE.
Thor is a very nice guy who I will always remember for the following, Interviewer ” What would you do if you won [...]
Finally an “Oops” in the schedule
Friday, February 12th, 2010Another four tournies today. The final from the stud8 and the final from the $1k NLHE. The 1pm Day 1 was a $545 which had 267 entries. so far so good. The 4pm was a $1k six handed LHE which only has eight tables at the moment. I expect that number may increase to ten [...]
