Catch yall up

OK, I jumped on this blogger thang all late so Let me catch yall up on my road to the WSOP...

First off, let me start off when I started playin poker...I started playin poker with my boys around the hood really before all this ESPN Poker craze jumped off...We have been playing since late 2000. Why did we start? well im an Ex-Crap player. I was hung up on craps and was losing way too much money at the crap table up Atlantic City. Then we play a game called Tonk at home round the way if we are not playin dice, and max folx can play tonk is 3 we sometimes squeeze 4 in there, but $1/hand, max $3 for a tripple..hardly worth all the hours of game play we was puttin in. So I said, let me learn poker and teach some of these fools how to play and then it was on and poppin!

Now we were not pros, but we did have some wild ass nights, we did alot of Dealer's choice games with wild cards and so many wild variations. The wildest game we ever played was a game where we had a reset card. If that card showed up, everyone that did not fold was still in play, all chips remained int he pot and everyone had to throw there hands in and redeal that game...wow the pots got so fuckin big it was crazy...this was a true maniac's game LOL

Well we started gettin better and started playing the casino way to get us ready to play up AC.

So we felt we were ready after a couple of years playing so we decide to go to the Borgata and play in a re-buy daily tournament. Wow we were not ready, I did outlast 4 of my buddies but ended up busting out the round after the final add on. LOL The strategy was not there yet, back to the drawing board...

So we played many nights, throwin our own tourneys and got better in our play...

I can say I have seen the money in some of our tourneys and even took down 2 of them 1st place.

**On-Line Poker Sites**

I play on-line also, and I must say, this is a great way to get a game w/o rounding up the fellaz...I play on pokerstars and paradise poker more and I play on absolute poker for my online poker league. I stuck $25 bucks on poker stars at the beginning of the year and got it up to over $600 bucks. Played in a couple tournaments placing in the money, ring games are off the hook always making tons of money on those lol cashed out and now im sruggling to get my funds back up to where im comfortable again. Looks like im down to my last $20 bucks and might have to reload that thang on up again...but knowing me, I can get that $20 bucks back to $100 then its on from there!

**More Recent Times**

Now that its 2004/2005 now, I hooked up with MD-Poker.com and the folx that post over there check it out www.md-poker.com I started playin in more home tournaments and playing with people I have never played with before...This has totally improved my game overall. Cash and Tourneys.

WSOP Circuit was in AC recently, and alot of us from MD-Poker and PG Rounders (My crew of poker players round da hood) made our way to AC for the weekend, though I didn't play in the WSOP cause I missed the No Limit event, I played up the Trop and didn't do too bad, of 160 players i busted out 48th place. Not in the money, but definately an improvement!

After coming home from AC, I still had some money from my online games so I decided to buy a poker table and a laptop so I don't hog the computer from my daughter and my daughters mother playing poker...now im broke lol

Last tournament I played in was this past weekend at the Glen Burnie Tournament and of 43 folx, I placed in 8th place, got put out with a drunk maniac. This tourney is well run! I will return next month to take 1st and rack up on more player of the year points.

Well I'm waitin to get off work and make it to my man's Scott's tournament tonight, its snowing so fuck dat...I'll be there to try and make dat money!!!!
