LAPC -> NAPT

Well, like I always say, I’m terrible about keeping this blog updated. So, here is the recap from my trip in Feb.

I finished my trip at the Commerce during the LAPC with out a single tournament win. It sucked. I lost each event I played with such terrible beats. However, I did have an amazing session playing 10/20 uncapped. This was my first shot at 10/20 and I went in knowing that the table would try to come after me. I bought in for 150BB, which was nothing compared to the rest of the table, but just dominated the game. I ended up cashing out for 390BB for almost $5k profit. Not bad, covered all my tourney loses.

Then, I went to Tucson AZ to visit some friends that were in town for the Gem & Mineral Show. I had a good time. My friends rented an amazing house in Oro Valley, we ate good food, and had a great time. I stayed in town for 4 days then went to Vegas for the first NAPT series held at the Venetian.

I didn’t do too good in Vegas either. I again lost every tourney I played – but made up for it in the cash games. I also decided to fly my 2 friends out to stake them in some games to try and help build thier rolls as well as recoup some of mine. That didn’t work out either. That’s the gamble you take when staking others… but I’m sure they’ll get the makeup before I have to cut them.

All in all, I ended up dead even on poker, but was out all my expenses. I did have a good time, I met a lot of people who I feel will be beneficial to my game and I was able to show my friends the professional side of poker (which they have only seen on TV) – so…  I can’t complain.

I will post my upcoming schedule when I have it all figured out, but the next stops are:

• NAPT at Mohegan Sun in CT
• HPT here at Golden Gates in Blackhawk, CO
• HPT at Turning Stone in NY
• Wold Series of Poker in Vegas
