Just wanted to give everybody an update on what I've been doing for the past year. I haven't given up on being an affiliate, as I'm finishing up some long overdue projects lately, which should be finished in the next 3 to 4 weeks, dependent on my coders.
Anyways, since I've moved to Las Vegas, I've been focusing on becoming a better poker player. When I first moved here, I started playing $1/$2nl Texas Holdem, and quickly realized that I was crushing the games up until $10/$20nl to $25/$50nl, which are my regular games now.
Recently, I've been trying out tournament play. I've cashed in over 1/3 of the tournaments which I've played in, including my near win in Bellagio Event 10. I was leader in chips with about 18 players left, double the average stack at the time, but a combination of me making a bad play with pocket aces and a lucky flop by Roy Winston cost me 80% of my stack. You can read all about it on
Roy Winston's blog.
I'm also starting up my own blog about the events that I play in. I'm having it designed right now, but if anybody wants to see if I've placed in a tournament you can check
Cardplayer's player database.
All in all, I held on to place 12th in the tournament, about $215k less than 1st. Hopefully I will get there one day, wish me luck!
