I'm back!
Ladies and Gents, I guess you've been wondering where the hell Big Syd has been. Well, I haven't been anywhere. I just started slacking on my Blog. However, the poker hasn't stopped. I'm still playing on a daily basis. Probably about 85% MTT (online and live) and about 15% STT (Sit-N-Gos).
I've been pretty much pleased with my poker play lately. I've gotten a few money finishes and a number of bubbles lately.
Primarily, I've been playing exclusively on Full Tilt Poker. I like the structure of their tourneys there and I am beginning to learn who the regulars are and how they play. Most recently, I played in there $200,000 Guaranteed Tourney as well as their $50,000 and $75,000 guaranteed. I've recently sat and played at tables with Hoard Lederer, Chris Ferguson, Andy Block, Kristy Gazes, Rafe Furst and a number of other Full Tilt Pros. Kinda adds another level of excitement to it all.
Also, lately, I have been playing in the Monday Night RGP Challenge game on Full Tilt. For those not familiar with RGP, it is the Rec.Gambling.Poker Usenet Newsgroup and we have a number of weekly private games. I have been playing the Monday night game for the past 3 or 4 weeks and I love it. Made a final table. But bubbled on the cash. My day is coming. lol
Locally, I've still been holding my weekly game on Tuesday. However, my poker buddies, Scott and Scotty have been giving me a much needed break by hosting the game at their cribs. So, I've been able to chill out a bit myself. But the game does return to my place this week with a few changes. For one, I upped the Buy-In by 100% and I limited the number of players to 20 instead of the 24-27 that I have been hosting. This should allow for a less chaotic tourney with about the same prize pool as before. We'll see how it goes on Tuesday. Also, it looks like I'm going to start rotating the location of my weekly game between my place and Scott and Scotty's. We will see how this works out for a while. Also, with the exception of last week. I have been playing Bumper's Thursday night game on a regular basis. I cashed in that game the last time I played. When I go in focused, I usually do well in his game. We shall see if I can make it again this week.
In other news, I have committed to playing the New England Poker Classic this year. It takes place at Foxwoods. Tentatively, I will be playing the $500 and $1000 Buy-In NoLimit Holdem Events. May try to play some satellites and win my way into the $5000 buy-In Main Event. We shall see. This all goes down starting April 3. Wish me luck.
Last, but not least, I just want to inform everyone that I am now a Full Tilt Poker Affiliate. I figured since I play there pretty much exclusively, I thought I'd recruit some of my folk to come play there as well. I really do like this online poker room and have no problem telling others about it. More about this in an upcoming post.
Well, that's about it for now. I hope this entry has helped to bring you up to speed with my poker going-ons. If you have any questions or comments, drop me a line at bigsyd at gmail dot com
I'll talk to ya soon.
