Heading to the Coast...

Have been running fairly well lately at the tables. Have had a couple of solid winning sessions, but nothing like my poker playing buddies. Tex seems to be running good and Reid is tearing them up on the coast. We will be heading to the coast soon to get in on some the action down there.

What else is happening...

I read a lot of different blogs, and one of my favorites is Bryan "Devo" Devonshire's. You can find it on Poker Pages. Really cool guy who reminds me alot of myself at his age (25 or 26). He has the same free-wheeling, spontaneity that I used to have years ago. He loves the outdoors, and likes hiking, camping and enjoying nature and the outdoors. I just wish I would have taken poker seriously when I was his age then maybe, just maybe, I could have been where he is now. You wonder where he is now? He is the chip leader going into the WPT event in Reno tonight at 5:00pm. Good Luck Devo!!!!

Had one of our local tournaments last night in Houma. It was $100.00 buy in with a $20.00 bounty. We were able to pull together 13 people. Looks like Arceaneax and Brad chopped 1st and 2nd with Timmy Hill taking down 3rd.

Me and my Uncle are in a "Blind" NCAA March Madness Pool every year where 16 people get together and all put up $100.00. There are 16 ping pong ball all with the numbers 1-16 on them that go in the bucket. Everyone gets to pick a ball for each 1/4 (Quadrant) of the bracket. You are at the mercy of the pull, but you can have some sleepers that may come in a snap it off. We were the defending champs as last year we won the whole thing. Everyone gets 4 teams with a seed from 1-16. One team in each quadrant...with the winner taking the Cheese...the entire $1600.00. We also won it several years back when Syracuse won as a 4 seed (I think)...Well we have one remaining horse ...Louisville. Tomorrow night we will watch them eat up UNC just like they did to Tennessee.

Looks like the crew from Lockport are all finally playing poker for a living. Eddie and Lusky have quit their "Day Jobs", and they are now grinding it out as pro poker players. Virge will now have more company around the house...next step ..."Vegas Baby...Vegas". Lusky and Virge are contemplating shipping the "Lockport Poker Palace" to the Sin City.

All for now...Hope to have some good stuff from the coast
