Skillz Game Results - Pot Limit Omaha

Nice turn out for last night tournament, with 9 players running. The first level we were at two tables (for late entries), but after the first 10 minutes we were at one table and a lot of good tight poker was player. I dont think we lost our first player until almost the one hour mark, which I was surprised for Pot Limit.

Here is how everone finished:

Skillz Game - Limit Stud 8 or Better - VOIDED



Far smaller turnout then I expected, lots of people enjoying the summer or in Vegas, as no one but me signed up, and Full Tilt voided the tournament.

We will try again next week, with Pot Limit Omaha Hi

Skillz Game Tonight - Limit Stud 8 or Better



Less players with everyone busy with Summer things or the World Series. Hope that those of you that can make it out tonight do!

And, since I have really nothing else going on but my family, here is a picture of my 6 1/2 month old daughter Katie:

Skillz Game Results - Limit Razz

12 runners on Tuesday night, not too bad of a turn out.
I donked out in 10th, poker burnout plus the fact that I suck at Razz.

Next week will be Limit Stud Hi/Lo.

No updates on here from me until Monday, taking a little time off playing poker for the weekend, as it will be my first Father's Day as an actual father. Cant wait to see what the wife has planned for this!

Skillz Game Tonight + WSOP Event #26 = EPIC FAIL



Tonight we play Limit Razz.

The World Series was a huge bust for me. I took the first hand (as the big blind) when everyone folded the whole way around. I got QQ 3 times in the first hour, once where the person to my left ended up having the other two queens, and the player to his left had Pocket 4's which ended up rivering a straight. My one huge hand was when I had QQ and ended up flopping the set, and rivered quads. I took a nice chunk out of the young Asian kid that was playing every hand. He ended up giving me a big hurt back in the 4th level, as he was playing literally any two cards. I got pocket 8's, and bet out on every street with him just calling. He somehow woke up with pockets 9's. I finally pushed my last 850 chips in at the 150/300 level with AcJc, and some online internet "pro" called me with Pocket 7's. I didn't improve, and went home. I am disappointed in finished in the 4th hour, but not with how i played. Hopefully I will get another chance next year.
