The first couple weeks of school have been very busy and I haven't had a chance to play much poker of late. I played a couple qualies last night and the 630pm HU tourney that I won last week. Won my first 3 rounds and bluff away my stack on the third hand of the 4th match with a three barrel bluff against the wrong guy. The first time I have done that in awhile.
Kind of exciting, lapozie, Matt Lapossie is playing the EPT Barcelona this week and has made it down to the Final Table, 8 players in EPT. He is 3rd in chips and with a $1.3mil-ish US first prize this would be a serious event if he can continue to play well and take it down. Day 4 just finished there and he has been in the top 3 in chips since Day 2 so his consistency has been spot on. Interesting too is the way the writers for pokernews.com are reporting on the live action. adding things like "Lapossie raises again, surprise.." and "Lapossie raised and called with 46s..." (in that spot a short stack had stacked and he was committed. Either way, really exciting to hear a London boy doing well in some Live action. We will see tomorrow how she goes but from how things appear to be happening and with Marc Goodwin the only real big name threat left I'd say he has a really solid chance. Good Luck Matt!
Found a couple new website links sent to me from my brother-in-law talking about the life of a professional poker player. Here they are, check em out:
