Bellagio... Bob's Bellagio that is.

This weekend I played at Bob's Bellagio just outside of Nashville.  Bob always has a well ran game and well rounded players attend.  Bob's boss (his wife) at the last minute decided to make plans so Bob, like any normal poker player, took the opportunity to have a game at his house.  Unfortunately, with the last minute invite few people were available.  Of course, there are some addicts like Walter and I who seem to ALWAYS have time for poker.  I hope A&E never starts having a show on poker addicts and if they do my family and friends better NEVER read me a letter that starts like this "Robin, your addiction has effected me in the following ways..."

What can I say, I have a passion.  I have alot of passions, not just poker but my family, my friends, my career.  Just so happens though, this blog is about poker so it just seems like all I do is eat, sleep, or drink poker. 

Anyways, back to Bob's... so there only ended up being 5 of us.  We had a rebuy tournament and after a few hours Bob and I decided to just split the winnings so we could play a cash game.  These guys don't like no limit cash games.  The really enjoy Omaha and pretty much anything other then NL.  I respect that, BUT, I can't play those games.  Micro stakes or not, if I can't make a profit, I won't play, not for long anyways.  I only lasted a few hands before I decided to hit the high way back to my little town in the middle of nowhere.

Thanks Bob and everyone else for a nice low key Saturday evening of fun poker with friends.  I really enjoyed it and needed a stress-free night. 

Until next time, PEACE!

Early Fall Release of 2010 WSOP Schedule... Coming Soon

Read in the new CardPlayer magazine that the World Series of Poker will be releasing it's 2010 schedule early fall, this is great news. In regards to the home league, this will give our group a chance to look into group rates for travel and also be able to schedule time off for work. They also will be having more $1000 buy in event. This year they had 1 and it was very successfully. They hope to have at least 5 or 6 in 2010.

31 days until the November Nine take the felt again. I am cheering for Phil. In my opinion and many others, he is one of the best, if not the best, poker player out there right now. He deserves to get his bracelet. From the first few televised main events, Phil has been getting incredible cards. Who knows how the editing is going, it might just look like he is getting great cards 9 out of 10 tens, could be 9 out of 1000 hands, what do we know.

Was going to head to Horseshoe IN on Sunday but the trip got cancelled. I am thinking of putting some cash online into a secondary poker site like Cake Poker or something other then the "big 3". Just not sure what a good site might be. Any suggestions?

PEACE!!!
