He is in another super to get in on the final day of the Main Event, 1D tomorrow. He was on the third level of play and he had about $5000 up from the $3000 that he started with. He will give more detail when he gets back on all the shenanigans they got into.
I do know that he has got in the money 3 times so far on his trip. Mostly in the daily tourneys they have at the casinos. He did win 1st in the one last night. If I am not mistaken, I think it was a $60 buy in at the Treasure Island. He picked up $540.00 for first...his entry into the Main Event super he is playing in right now.
I went to Boomtown looking for a game Friday night, but there could not put together a NL game? I mean, I got there at 5pm, and waited around to 9pm, but nothing materialized. I am told that usually they do get a NL game going on weekends. I wanted a change of pace, and decided to play some 1-5 stud to pass the time. I am a firm believer that you will need to be a practitioner of all the games of poker to be a true "Poker Player". Bill and I both played in the $300 stud tournament they had at this years circuit event in New Orleans. It reminded of the old days years ago when all I played was stud and was just being exposed to hold-em...hell...I can remember when the 4-8 hold-em game was the "Big Game" at the Treasure Chest casino in Kenner years ago. I can remember driving 2 hours to play stud years ago a place called Bayou Caddy's on the Mississippi Gulf Coast...Wow...That was a while ago. The parking lot of Caddy's is still there on the first Mississippi exit coming from Louisiana.

Hey Gene. I just came accross your blog online. I am an aspiring poker player myself. Sounds like you and Will Bill are some respectable players. Hope to hear more from you soon.
Anyone here play Tonk? Thats a real mans game. Im looking to get a game up. Beets also likes 5 card stud and Dominoes. yall want some?
Thanks, Gene, in my three moneys it went like this 1. Equal 3 way chop I was the short stack and bb blind was now at about a 1/3 of our chips so it was a literal crapshoot 2. next night at a 2 a.m.er it was an equal 2 way chop, I was a slight chip leader but dog tired as I had been the whole tournament, thought about that one a bit but took it anyway even though I felt I could outplay my opponent in my sleep (and I might have to) and he just saw me eliminate third place with an Ace high call on the river after a board of bricks missed his 7-2 offsuit (yeah, I'll talk abou that one) that would have crippled me if my gut wasn't right so I probably should have played that out, and 3. the last one I chopped with a guy I befriended but I basically only gave him 25% of the difference between first and second if he agreed to handle both our dealer tips. He made a marginal profit on that deal and tipped enough that I didn't have to come over the top if he was a cheapskate. Course every coin flip went my way in those little ones that didn't matter and none did in the satellites for the ME.
