Sorry about your wallet. Tried out PokerVT and really like it. Thanks for telling us about it. It's really well done and has tons of cool content. Didn't have enough time to spend this week but I really want to focus on it this weekend. It's really well done and thought out. I play a lot of sngs lately so look forward to your series on those.

Sucks about the wallet. How long until you can play WSOP?

Over the weekend I went up to Turning Stone with some friends from home. I went up mostly to hang out with my friends and have fun, which I did. I also just felt like playing some live poker - which I haven’t done since Vancouver.

When I first got there I noticed TS changed their NL games. Not that I care much about the cash games anyways, but they have 1/2NL 100max, 2/3NL 200max, 2/5NL 300max, and 5/5NL 500max.

Now, what I fail to understand is this.

Why not start with 100 big blinds? I really don’t get this. Many casino’s games are uncapped, or 200bb’s buyin’s. NOT 50-60bb’s deep.

Whatever…

I ended up making a couple buyins at 2/5NL. A couple people went nuts as soon as I told them my 2+2 name, lol. I’m still not 100% used to getting recognized, but with PokerVT growing I guess I’m going to have to get used to it.

Unfortunately I ended up being the biggest loser on the trip, despite making a couple buyins at 2/5NL. No, I didn’t blow money at the pit. My wallet was lost/stolen near the end of the trip. It was lost between a rest stop and the drive back home, so I’m pretty sure it’s long gone. It had around $1,300 in it, all of my bank cards, along with my license, and insurance stuff.

Talk about a pain in the ass. God damnit.

I obviously already cancelled the cards, and got new a license too. I’m somewhat concerned someone might try to steal my identity…but then again, I’m pretty sure I’m the only Adam Junglen around (pretty sure it’d be easier to steal a more common name’s identity), and my license had mostly outdated information. Ehh, guess we’ll just have to see. If someone reading this has found my wallet, then I’d really appreciate it if you returned it to me. Obviously I don’t like my odds of ever seeing my wallet again, but hey - maybe someone found it, googled my name and found my blog. I just have a hard time believing someone who found my wallet with all that cash in it wouldn’t take it. Well, it’s worth a shot. If you’ve found my wallet I’d really appreciate it if you contacted me. Thanks.

It sure sucks being < 21 during the WSOP. Like, this really sucks. I've been playing NLH since I was 16, and ever since then wanted to play in the WSOP.....so it'll be 5 years of waiting by the time I turn 21. That's sick. I've been following all of the coverage on PokerNews and PokerRoad. Eugene Todd Bro’s segment “Smoke break” on PokerRoad is very entertaining. I’m pretty impressed with all the great content Pokerroad’s got up.

While on the subject of WSOP Coverage, congratulations to Daniel Negreanu for taking down the $2k LHE event. Nice job man, you’re not all washed up after all! =)

Also, congrats to Vanessa “fslexcduck” Selbt for taking down the $1,500 PLO, Justin Bonomo on your second place finish in the $5k Mixed Hold’em, and Leo Wolpert on chopping the $5k Shootout (taking 3rd officially). I apologize if I missed any of my other friends on this list, but there’s like 6 WSOP tournaments going on at once, and it’s tough to keep up with all the events.

I’ve been grinding out some SNG’s lately. I’m going to be doing an instructional SNG series (9 handed - 45mans) for PokerVT, so I’m getting back into the SNG frame of mind. When I first started playing online poker, I was grinding SNG’s. I remember 8 tabling $6.50’s for the first time and thinking I was badass. Haha, good times. I’m having fun playing something else besides MTT’s too. The SNG’s are a nice change of pace too.

GL everyone at the WSOP!!!
