Vegas trip


So this blog has been pretty sparse lately. Not much poker related happenings for NBA and me. However, that will change in November when we venture out for the Venetian Deep Stacks tournaments.


This time there will be last longer bet and I will win it. Why because I'm a better tournament player than NBA...just don't tell him I said that. Of course the bet will probably end up costing me more than it should as I will probably lose after getting my money in with the best of it and NBA will be nursing his customary short stack and survive before he busts half a level later.

No worries. Hopefully we won't be busted but if so we will catch the ufc fight at a bar and then hang out in the MGM sports book all day Sunday and watch some NFL and maybe place some bets.

On the on-line front, I did place on the SNG leaderboard 2 weeks ago in the Mars division I think it was. Finished 96th I believe. NBA is trying for PCA through the steps. Hopefully he will book a seat and take it down for $2 mil. I saw that the Costa Rica LAPT event is happening during my school break. I may try again and qualify through Stars as I would love to go down there and play. Even though it will be cooler and rainy, I would still love to go. Hopefully if I try, I don't repeat the agony of Uruguay!

Well that is all for now. Will update if anything happens and will have a post Vegas report.

Why Play Tournaments?


So Phil Ivey wins over $1 million in a day and almost $3 million in the month of September. Why play tournaments? Seriously, when you make money like this why play. I know it gets you exposure and possible endorsements and who doesn't like to win a competition but why do the grind on the circuit when you can make this much.
