Venetian Deep Stack III Events 27 & 28

(insert witty "Intro Text (Required)" here. WTF why is it required? Sometimes I don't want a subtitle. Bad news: I didn't do anything.

Good news: I busted before dinner break both times.

Last two days were a tale of two different tournaments. Thursday was the $500+50 NLHE. 40 min levels, blinds 25-50 with all the normal levels (and reduced ante... going 100-200/25 to 200-400/25 instead of 50) and 10k in starting chips. Really fun structure actually. I played so freaking good. Like sick scary good actually. I was making moves that I didn't even know I was capable of, and I was really surprised at the accurate reads I was picking up after being off the live horse for so long. I even almost limp-re-raised the small blind once, but I thought it may be too fancy... we'll get to that hand in a sec.

I came out of the gates guns blazin. By the first break I had 22k and had only seen one showdown - and that was for a small pot. Very proud. In that period I 3 bet Q4o (won on flop), check-raised the flop or turn vs. pre-flop aggressors three times (all check-raises uncalled), and picked up almost every pot I opened with a c-bet. It was some sweet steamrolling.

They move me tables, and I continue cruising, but this time I get screwed in a couple of spots that were pretty silly. One, I bet the flop for 975 (like , and this dude puts in 525. Flop is Q 5 4 , I have 5 4. Dealer informs him that it was 975, he makes a stink saying that he wouldn't have called and that the dealer should call the action better (cause we all know that 1 purple, 4 blacks, and 3 greens looks very similar to 1 purple or 5 blacks and one green). Anyways, turn 8x, I bet 1800, he says, "Well now you have me in this far," I think please don't give this dude with the 9 or whatever another diamond. X on the river, I check, he checks. He says, "Two pair?" I say, "Two pair?!? What the crap two pair! I flopped bottom two and it has remained bottom two. Lemme see."

He shows me 8 4 . He was not in the blinds. I was in the big blind. Sigh.

Next hand goes out to Fruitkin. I open UTG+1 w/AQ or whatever. I get called from the big blind. Flop 422r. He checks, I c-bet like 60% pot, he calls. Turn x, check, check. River x, check, check. He rolls over 72o. No joke. I LOL. Literally. I can't help myself, and chuckling I ask, "Two questions. One, if you call that, what do you fold? Cause I've seen you fold your big blind before. And second, why?"

He says, "Implied odds, obviously."

Mind you he's like 25 bb's deep with 15k. I LOLed again.

So, shortly after that hand, this really interesting spot came up. Woman, good looking, early thirties, blonde, white chick, sits down to my left in the 6 seat. I say, "Hi!" She says, "Ohh, don't get to know me too well! I only have this many!" She has 1875, it's her big blind at 300/600/50. She makes it clear that she's going all-in this hand. This is how great live poker is. Seriously, I didn't realize until this last week after playing 4 mos online how bad people are live compared to online. It really is astounding. First three peeps under the gun limp. First thought through my mind: "OMG... it would be so sweet to get a hand here so I can limp re-raise the field from the small blind." As I think this, one more guy limps, it's my turn in the small blind, and I look down to find: A K .

Ha.

Now what creative bastard?

I really believe that AK is the best hand to do this with too, for the simple reason that seeing a limped flop 6 ways with AK is exponentially less criminal than with any decent pair. I suppose that 55-88 would be decent hands to do it with also though... anyways, after about fifteen seconds of deliberation I decided to just make it 4k myself and take the dead limper money now, rather than take a whack at an extra 1200 per caller. My first thought was the mid 30's white chick stereotype, that if she can check she's gonna in this spot. I decided that there was too much risk in losing the 5k or so in dead money already out there (counting her 1825) to risk trying to get the extra 2bb's outta the limpers. My standard play in this spot is to stop-n-go anything that I don't mind juicing the pot with so that hopefully I get a little fold equity rather than just wanting to get it in. But then I thought and... with 5 limpers, none of whom are folding, is it better to get 5-1 on your last 1200 with any two cards or is it better to have some fold equity/escape the worst flops?

Beats me. What do you think?

Anyways, I raised, the guy who never folds but hits everything like 84o on Q54 monotone flops, called, and we checked it down board reading 543, 9, 2, my wheel beating her 94o and whatever the hell that guy had.

OK. Next level, 400-800/75... move me to a new table. Bryan, meet Kent. I didn't learn that his name was Kent until today, when I found him sitting on the same table in the same seat with a ginormous stack and played several hours with him. Super nice gentleman and I truly had a pleasure conversing with him throughout the past two days. He certaintly enjoyed it more on this day though after this hand. Young guy with chips opens under the gun to 2100. I call on the button with 30k. Kent calls out of the big blind. Both have me covered, all are above average in chips. Flop 7 6 3 . Kent leads for 4k. I count his stack, estimate about 22k total, and make it 15k+cheese. Kent goes all-in, I'm obv calling, and he has the top end of his range, J J , and that's just fine. The pokerstove numbers have me at a 47/53 disadvantage, which I'm plenty fine with. I think the rest of his calling range is 88-TT and maybe an A7, and maaaybe 76. I knew that he wasn't betting a set or a draw cause that's not his style, confirmed today. My mistake on the hand, which I gave you a hint on in here, is his stack size. He had me covered pre-flop, and I was just shy of 30k, and then on the flop I estimate him at 22k total, thus making getting it in the obvious play (shoving v raise/calling like i did, doesn't matter, I just raised like I did because I wanted it to look stronger). Anyways, the board bricked out, I asked how much, and when I heard "30+K" I said, "What?!?!?" Oops... gg me. I felt pretty silly actually, but on the walk out I was fine with it even if I knew stack sizes by the time I got to the car, and then a couple of phone calls later I confirmed that also.

Got in the truck, fought traffic down koval, through the tunnel, onto the 215, and then all the way to this new joint called "Gyro Express". It's the nuts. They had flyers for a beer pong tournament tonight, $20/team, all money goes to prize-pool, and free beer to players . Wow. They'd be in trouble if they were closer to UNLV. Take it to go, love the food, and pretty much don't leave the couch. I was planning on writing this blog last night but then "Mass Effect" happened (I love/hate you Dutchie)(not a pun)(Mass Effect is a sci-fi RPG).

Pass out, wake up before 1045am alarm (wtf?!?), head to the bank, withdrawl $4500 which takes an eternity because they're trying to figure out what the heck the $5k check without any identification is from (any of y'all get checks from internet poker sites know exactly what I'm talking about... :-), I'm like what's taking so long it's a Wells Fargo check, and... yeah. My bank has to wonder about me. I mean seriously, I have used my atm card like once in the last two years, every cash withdrawl I make is for at least 4 digits, I have mysterious wire transfers coming in from backers that I usually withdrawl into cash within a couple days. Mysterious checks. In demoninations like $9500. Never over $10k. One time I walked in there with a metal bucket full of one dollar bills. It broke both cash counters. They had to do it by hand. $1046 worth. Dude asked me what I do, I said bartender (it was Jared's money, I don't remember why I was cashing it... think I needed to borrow some money or something so I had to do the legwork), but now they think I'm a bartender and keep making these huge transactions. Obv drug dealer.

My favorite story from the bank is when I discovered that banks don't have a lot of money at them. I see casino cage drawers with like $50k in em, I guess I have always assumed with all the bank robberies/movies + my casino cash experiences that banks have bank. So, when I waltz into Wells Fargo and ask for $23k cash before the 07 WSOP, they do the usual "Oh shit, $5k+ cash transaction" dance like they do almost every time I walk into the bank, and after about five minutes the manager tells me that they don't have the money. I laugh out loud, and say, kid you not, "Man, that's hilarious! Could you imagine if I was a bank robber? What a crappy day that would be! I'd be getting pissed thinking you were lying, shooting up the place, but you really don't have money!" The poor girl teller didn't realize that I was quite amused really and just heard "bank robber, crappy day, shooting up the place" and froze. The manager laughed though and all was fine. She informed me that she'd find a branch that had the funds.

Ten minutes later, she comes back and says the fourth branch has the money, and it's in downtown Henderson (not nice neighborhood). There they didn't want to give me the cash either. Teller says, "Ok, so I'll go get this $23k cashier's check."

"No, cash please."

"Why do you want that much cash? Lemme go get you this check."

"Lady, you're my bank. I need cash. If I take that check, I would just hand it back to you and ask for you to cash it."

"OK..................... ummmmmmmmm.......... are you sure?"

I just looked at her. She got me the cash after about 20 minutes.

And that has to be one of the most successful post hijacks via tangenting in the history of this blog.

So now you get the cliff notes from the 1k.

level 1-2 - nothing exciting, 11k
level 3-4, same, 7400
level 5-6, lotsa action, shoving, restealing, double through Kent three times, and the highlight. 3 limpers to me in BB, blinds 300-600, I have 36k and AKo, I make it 3600 total, first limper calls, both others fold. I'm new to table and say, "May I see your stack please?" Kid you not less than 7k. Thats correct, the ol "Limp-call 1/3 of your stack play from UTG+2." I laugh, go all-in in the dark, flop T9x, he taaaanks. I'm like, wtf.. What possible hand can you be tanking with here? He finally calls with KQo and rivers a Q. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLED.
level 7, check-raised the flop with ten high, won, bled down to 19k at end of level, raised the last hand before dinner, had KTo but that didn't matter cause I always win the last hand before dinner, get called by the big blind flop T 7 6 , BB checks, I bet 3k, he makes it 9k, I put my last 15k total into the pot, he calls with 8 7 , turns an 8, and I obv brick gg me.

Had dinner with pbdrunks and TheNew, both awesome dudes. Got home, and here I am.

Peace and good luck,

Crushing.

Happy Valentines Day y'all!

I'm currently laying on a king sized bed looking out over the Colorado River valley from the Avi Indian Casino about as far south into Nevada as geographically possible. Tiff and I decided to pop down here for Valentines Day. Not exactly the most romantic spot, but when you live in Vegas your non-casino destinations are rather limited. This place has a beach and a golf course and it's right on the river, so it'll do.

Actually, we're having a great time. We absolutely killed em at everything we touched except video poker last night. I talked her into playing a $25 tournament that started at 7pm. We were 2nd and 3rd alternates in a field of 40 and were in within the first eight minutes (LOL). I busted a guy on my second hand with 99>AJ on an J9x flop, when the betting went raise/call preflop, bet/all-in/call post-flop (stacks were reeeal deep... pause... NOT). Then a couple of minutes later, I hear the floorman teasing Tiff as she was stacking chips about, "Hustlin these guys? First time? Riiight... :-). Tiff simply won every pot she played which was pretty funny to watch. She played one hand where she limped UTG for like 1600 with blinds of 800-1600 and an average stack of 9k, small blind goes all-in for like 2400, BB calls, she calls, flop Axx, check-check, turn x, check, Tiff goes all-in, BB mucks, tiff has two red kings and they're good obv, and I just kind of laugh to myself. I think I was the only person at the table that noticed how awful a play it was, but at that point I reached a point of nirvana. It didn't matter if she played good or not - she was having a great time, and that made me happy - and a girlfriend that enjoys poker *has* to be better than one that doesn't with my profession. At seven handed our stacks were all pretty even, average stack was like 4 bb's, and in 5 minutes we were doubling the blinds again. We chopped it 7 ways for $137 each, and Tiffany is one of the few people in the world who has entered a poker tournament, won the maximum, and never busted lifetime. Good job girl!

I also saw something at that final table that I haven't seen ever before and I've been playing live poker since 1999. One guy goes all-in, both blinds call. All three hands make it to showdown, and they are the A{moscardsuit:ss} J{moscardsuit:ss} , A{moscardsuit:ds} 9{moscardsuit:ds} , and A{moscardsuit:ss} 4{moscardsuit:cs} . The guy with the AJ wins the main and is stoked. Then I say, "Woahhhhh... Those players have the same card!"

The dealer quickly tells me that he knows what he's doing. "No, I'm not talking about that, they have the same card! Look!"

"Listen, I'm going to chop this pot, and I don't need your help."

"No no no... I'm not talking about anything about that... (I stand up and physically grab both aces of spades, put them obv next to each other) LOOK!"

There was a good 3 seconds of silence. I was pretty amused with it all. They handled it well, gave everybody their money back, put time back on the clock, and play resumed. Sure woulda been funny to look down and see the A{moscardsuit:ss} A{moscardsuit:ss} .

In other poker news, I absolutely killed em last week. The sick thing is that I really did not run well on my final tables otherwise I would won like double what I did. I made six final tables last week netting a little over $75k on the week. 3rd in the FTP $1k for $47,400, 3rd in the Stars $50 + 1 rebuy and add-on, got it in on flop of 678 with 89 and was against K5, stacks about equal, score $3k. 7th in the LHE LAPC #15, y'all read about that already. 6th in the FTP Sunday Mulligan for $10k, losing KK to AK with 12ish left, then two races, then chopping A9 to A4, got it in bad vs two shorties and lost, and then got it in with a bad ace and lost that one too. That was pretty frustrating cause I was just crushing the entire tournament and then had the wheels fall off with two to go. Meanwhile during that one I was busy making the final table in the FTP 55k, taking 4th for $9k, getting it in with 98 on a 973 flop vs KJ, he immediately turns a J, stacks even again. I took 21st or something in the 200r at the same time also for $2k. I feel like there's something else in there but I forgot. Anyways, stoked, good run, I also got out of makeup in my cash games, and poker's so sick how one week can erase 5 months of BLAH.

Off to breakfast..

Peace and good luck,

LAPC $1k+65 LHE Event #15 Final Table

Meh. Took 7th for $5400. Nice spontaneous payday, but pretty disappointing. When we hit 8 handed I was 2nd in chips. I then played a pot with the K6 guy from yesterday where he limped my big blind, I raised 66, he called. Flop 953. He checked, I bet, he raised, I called. Turn K. He bets, I raise, he calls. River 8. He checks, I check, he takes it down with 97. Whatevs, standard hand of limit holdem.

BUT I LOST 40% OF MY STACK IN THIS HAND.

I was a strong 2nd in chips and only had 10 big bets. The structure was kinda silly and we were playing super shallow.

Anyways, I win and lose chips in small incriments but eventually building back up to 3rd in chips, then I play a strange hand with the never folds to me guy from yesterday that was pretty annoying.

I open playing 4k-8k with the average stack at 60k with AKo, guy that never folds 3 bets, and I just call (normally a 4 ball, but with stacks this shallow it's not worth the variance IMO). Flop KQJr, good news/bad news, I check, he bets, I just call, again normally a raise for same reasons but def not in this spot. Turn J, I check/call, river A, I check/call, he wins with AJo, a 70k pot. So, got short, doubled with AQ > K9, made a thin mistake against Max that prob cost me about 4k on average occourance, and then got it in when the limits went to 6k-12k with AQo v AKo and couldn't get there. It was a pretty annoying day to say the least, I had the cards to get there but a couple of key suckouts really ruined my day, and that's pretty frustrating that a key suckout like that will kill you with structures this shallow, but... now that I think about it I guess it's the same in no-limit, but instead of 2/3 of your stack it costs you the whole stack. Tournament poker is just gross really. It was also unfortunate that every time the shorties went in 8 and 7 handed, they doubled like 9/10 times, and I feel like I should have at least been able to make another pay jump or two. Oh well. Nothing I could do really.

It was fun though, I enjoyed all of my tables and had a pleasant time playing with Max and Randy. And really, you can't ever complain about making 4k in two days and 50k in a week :-).

Peace and good luck,

Devo

LAPC $1k+65 LHE Event #15, end of day one.

Yep... read that right. Love it when things like this happen. So, Friday Pickett and Jon Eaton make the final table of the Rincon main event. We're all planning on heading up and sweating, but then Pickett decides that he wants to head to LA immediately after and Jay decides to go with him, but the rest of us don't want to go. So, we decide to stay back and watch the 1 hour delay webcast ad home. We play online, they all make like 10k and I take 3rd in the stars 50 + one rebuy and addon while we watch Pickett win the whole tournament for $225k. Now, it's party atmosphere in LA, and Dave, Billy, and myself head up to LA. I take the bike as I am planning on heading straight to Vegas after here. We actually wake up somewhat early (11:30am) and get on the road in time to make it to LA by 2:30 before traffic. We talk about how the games are going to be, I wonder about the stakes of the tourney buyins (not planning on playing today), see $1k limit hold'em (yum yum my favorite) donkament, immediately want to play, call the backers and get approval, and I'm in. For the record, I only have cash to cover the buyin on me because of the debt I was paid back.

Anyways, there's 13 left at the end of day one and we have 52k good for 3rd in chips :-). Leader has like 75 and 2nd has like 53k. Average is in the neighborhood of 40k. 42k for first.... Devo FTW!

I got really lucky early when I got most of my chips in pre and on the flop (4 bets each street) with JJ in a spot that I clearly needed to be in and spiked a J for our last chips on the turn to beat his AA... oh and some goofball hung around calling 2 bets cold four times with A8 on the 987 flop and J turn. LOL. So, I got a healthy stack, ran it up good, and then lost four pots in a row with JJ, AA, 99, KQ. I shouldn't have even bothered raising the KQ it was that gross. Got crippled to 2500 at like 600-1200, floated a few orbits, and then went on a siiiick heater (TY Scott Diamond for the sweat!) eventually having 25k in front of me like an hour later. So, now we're down to three tables, and I'm opening like every other pot, winning the maximum when ahead, bluffing 8 high on the river and showing it, all kinds of sick crap. This hand cracks me up. With 21 left I open UTG with AJo playing 1k-2k, called by the guy who would rather eat his socks than fold a hand to me, and called by the big blind who started this hand with 5500, posted the 1k big blind, and decides to smooth call m y open. Flop J62 rainbow, BB tanks and checks (lol), I fire, call station raises, BB tanks for I almost called the clock on him long enough, finally calls 2k off of his 3500 stack, I three ball, station calls, and this guy "random cap guy's" all in. LOOOOOOOOOL. Turn A, I bet, guy folds (ZOMG!!!), and I'm like I bet my bankroll have the guy drawing dead cause how does he ever get in this pot without exactly a single J, but he rolls over the mighty K6o and nails it on the river. Siiiiiiigh. So I'm tilty, have like 9k left of what was once a 25k almost chip lead stack, and I'm watching this money hater stack a 19k pot.

Anyways, I double somehow, pick up some chips somewhere, and spend a couple of hours at 20k. It was pretty frustrating... almost every time I saw a spot to do something creative and accumulate chips they woke up with a hand and I bled a lot of chips that way. So, every time I had value from a hand I would lose it back trying to outplay people and doing a good job of it but running into bummer crappy spots. Oh well.

We finally crack the money and have like 25 more minutes to play for the night. I get up to 30 quickly, blow a few pots, float for a while, and then with 14 left and five minutes to play for the day, a new guy to me with 50k opens in the cutoff (playing 2k-4k), I three bet the big blind to 6k with the A Q , and the guy calls. I have about 20k to start this hand. Flop T62ish rainbow with one spade. I bet 2k, he raises to 4k, I call. Turn J completing the rainbow. I check, he bets 4k, and with 21k in the pot and figuring to have 10 outs at best 7 outs at worst plus the 10% chance he's spewing and I have the best hand, I call the turn. River K. Nice. The ol "runner runner I have the nuts" trick. I bet, and HE RAISES! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhahahahhah. Based on his reaction he had at least a set. I obv three balled and he paid it off. Devo has 40k. Then I win one more "I 3 bet and am betting until you fold" pot and end the day with 52k, good for 3rd in chips with 13 left. Max Pescatori is the only other known player in the field and I don't know anybody else in the field. 42k for first, and we resume tomorrow at 7pm PST.

Peace and good luck,

Devo

Rincon WSOP-C $5k Main, FTP $1k monday

Devo's not busto anymore! Gotta give it to the money factory. I'm officially unbusto and actually at 5 digits again for the ol roll. More to come on that later, first lets go over the Rincon main event that I just bustoed out of.

First off, I get a great table draw with fish like Theo Tran, Brandon Cantu, and Gavin Smith who were 2, 3, and 4 ro my right respectively. Anna Wroblewski was in the three seat, Gavin knew the guy in the 4 seat, seat two was meh, and the guys to my right and left were horrible. Naturally these two are the ones that I lost all my chips to :-). First big/weird hand, I open to 200 UTG at 25-50 (we started with 20k in chips) and was called in the BB by the bad player who had already spewed/loose called his stack down to 7k. Flop KJ9r, he checks, I bet 275, me makes it 1k quickly with 5400 behind. Weird spot, I decided to just call with my position. Turn a brick, and the guy quickly jams all-in for like 5400 in to the 2500 in the pot. LOL. I tank and fold. I had him on J9 and he later confirmed it in the restroom.

Go into break with 17k. Come back we're playing 100-200/25 (why do we play 25-50, 50-100, then 100-200/25? WTF?!? Start with 50-100 and go to 100-200. Oh yeah, they skipped 150-300 also, straight to 200-400/50). Gavin opens from mid pos for 525, I call in the SB with 3 3 , donkey in the big blind calls. Flop A 2 3 , I bet 1100, donkey calls, Gavin calls. Turn T . Checking's horrible, but I obv don't like that card, but I have like 13k at this point, there's 5k in the middle, I'm getting it in. I bet 2800, donkey thinks, is deciding between calling and raising but doesn't feel too strong and calls, Gavin mucks. River I bet 3275 or my 10k remaining and donkey insta jams, and now he looks like he has the nuts. I tank, muck, and he shows me the A 7 . So, I nurse a short stack, shove on Anna's big blind with 57o and pick up the blinds, then get it in with Gavin AQo v AKo and I lose. Oh well. No worries at all, not a damn thing I could have done. It's not easy to do well in tourneys with winning 3 small pots in 4 hours and running into two bigger hands than my big hands.

So, last night I reg'd for the 100r, 55k, 100k, and tilt 1k monday. After about 90 minutes I was out of three of em and not happy at all with my play or how things were going. But, I built a stack in the 1k, blinded off to short around 50, and then basically short stack ninja'd my way into 3rd place. I had one brutal beat and one gross suckout, but other than that nothing too exciting. I was really proud of my play as there is not a single way that I could have finished better than I did, but there were many spots that I avoided that would have busted me sooner. The final table was very tough, but I never once had a good hand or opportunity to pick up chips more significant than the blinds. I had KK once and got the blinds, everything else was absolute rags, and my table position sucked with three shorties to my right and four big stacks to my left with me right in the middle. At one point there were 4 of us with less than 10bb's, and without cards I navigated my way into 3rd for $47k. Clear 25k in make-up, advance ship $5k to Devo, still up 10k on backers. I also got paid back $2k that was owed to me, plus $100 from Gavin in a prop bet, plus $1250 from Theo (not paid) and oh, by the way, he took 4th last night. Life is so much better notching Theo. I re-raised him 4 times, he folded every time like the little nit. So, that plus $2500 from cash games and we're back in the black baby!

I'm pretty proud to have gone busto one month ago and have a bankroll higher than I have had since October now. And I bet y'all are happy to read a winning blog for once too, eh?

Anyways, FTOPS starts tomorrow, so I'll be playing online for the next couple of weeks, and then I launch a pretty intensive live+online schedule. I'm playing almost every Sun-Wed online and almost every Th-Sat live between the Venetian Deep Stacks, Wynn Classic, Reno World Poker Something, and Bellagio 5 star in April. I'm feelin good and glad to be finally winning again.

Peace and good luck,

Devo

Motorcycles to the Money Factory

..... I had a pretty surreal experience today as I rode Ol Blue (my motorcycle) south on the 15 Freeway through Escondito and into San Diego. In August of 2005 I rode my old bike down here from Kernville for a couple of days off from the river and never made it back. I crashed on the on-ramp to the 15 on my way back to my friends house (with her on the back) as we were headed home from an evening at Harrah's, Rincon. You can read the blog I wrote about that experience here... it's a deep/controversial one LOL. It's some weird triumphant symbolism to ride past that place, esp when I rode past the hospital, but I think it will be a nice victory when I am actually able to ride a motorcycle out of San Diego for the first time.

I decided to ride this time since it's February and that lets me pretend that it's almost springtime, and I just finished Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman's book, "The Long Way Round." It's a story about their 4 month motorcycle ride from London to New York City, headed East. All the way across Europe, Mongolia, Siberia, fly to Anchorage, across Canada to Montana and over to NYC. Epic trip and I have always been itchin to do something like it. Fuller and I are talking about riding the Pan-American Highway (Anchorage to Patagonia, Argentina). So, why not ride 400 miles rather than drive?

Yeah. I'm still sitting in most of my cold weather gear as I am thawing from that ride. But it was awesome.

I'm down here under the excuse of the Harrah's Rincon WSOP-C main event. I start a pretty intensive live schedule on Tuesday taking me all the way through the end of April hitting here, the Venetain Deep Stacks in Feb, the Wynn Classic and Reno events in March, and the 5 star in April. I didn't realize until this week how long it's been since I've played a live tournament (not counting the Viejas thing in Dec, but that was the official last time I played live). I'm pretty dang excited to play some live donkaments.

I thought I would have more to write. I don't. I will soon I'm sure :-).

Peace and good luck,

Devo
