Well after a great week in Boston at mikes house I finally went home for the first time in almost 6 months being home for more then a week. It's still a really short stay in a week and a half I plan on heading to turning stone on Friday to play in a few events. I also plan on finishing up my TLB goal for the week. It's been quite some time since I won weekly on stars haven't made an effort for it since the last time I won. I feel that I can easily win once I devote a full 6 days of grinding in massive multi tabling on the desktop which I haven't done since prevegas. So expect me to be playing 20+ stars tourney with 5 or so FTP ones sprinkled in.

There are many reasons for me to be doing this it should be a lot of fun as long as I win. Then I will be content even if I am down a few k or something. This should give me enough to secure yearly TLB as a few people are attempting to make late runs at me but as in a marathon they showed themselves too soon and I will get a 3k lead on them in the next 10 days and they will give up. Knowing full well that if necessary I am winning yearly if I have to play everyday I can and every tourney I can till end of year. Hopefully for my sake it doesn't get to that spot but I'm sure many of you will enjoy knowing m working my ass off in 180s even after my recent big buyin success.

Also had a lot of good wafflecrush success in the past few weeks had a solid showing in the 10k at FW where 3/9 cashed and 1 of them got as far as 19th before losing a stupid flip post flop vs the donk who ended up winning. Note he was redic lucky to be in a race given the situation but whatever he has 1.7mil and a WPT ring or whatever when the better players get screwed. Great for the game seeing a donk card rack his way to millions cuz those viewing know they prob had a better shot than him going into the tourney.

Also heading to France the 7th of December then prague the 10th for EPT with Andy should be a good time. Finaly got my yankee hat from him only took like 2months for me to be reconnected with it. I haven't seen it but my brother was commenting on how badly it smelled and I figure thats from 4 years of my fat face sweating underneath it as well as being stuck in a package box for 2 months as it gets shiped from London to Vegas to NY and a few random stops in between. So I'll stop looking like thayer thankfully and be back to my normal backwards hat ways

Well sorry for being so delayed in updates I had some problems with getting the HH from stars so I maybe using a different tourney for a hand history in the near future. Have a lot of things to bring up but I'll be brief in most of them.

Wafflecrush has been going great now this last week raking up close to 300k in cashes from our horses in some huge runs that didn't even get up to potential. Feels great to be winning money and giving close friends/sick players the chance to play the highest buyins with 0 fear at any point. I expect to be picking up more horses soon but don't PM me or bug me at the table or any wafflecrusher. I got my eye on the next batch and in talks with a few as it is.

I spent the week at Foxwoods did nothing in any of the tourneys build stacks then went card dead when it mattered in every tourney. Got ugly but I did well online since then.

I've made a bunch of FTs lately 100fo which I took down for 12k. AP 1k where I got 3rd for 12k 20r stars a few middle buyin ft tourneys with a win and a few middle finishes.

I'm in Boston for the week at my buddy Mike's house who just got 5th in FTOPS last night. His prior best score was like 2500 so 55k is quite the jump.

I am heading to France the 7th of December then going to Prague for the EPT the 10th. Anyone got good ideas what to do leave a comment.

So I wanted to toss something up quick prior to the post with my 1k HH from my recent 2nd place in the Stars Super Tuesday tourney. I took down close to 55k with the score and followed it up with another 2nd in the night hundred grand aka stuper. That tourney for the longest time has been the thorn in my side. I was down close to 12k in it with only 13k in buyins. I got a huge stack early into the money and then coasted till 2 tables left where I lost a 400k pot when avg stack was about 100k with QQ vs AA in a spot I can't avoid. I was down to 120k chips 2 hands later blinds moved upto 3k/6k guy 3xed in MP I was in co with 88 and shoved having him barely covered. He snap called with JJ I flopped an 8 and was back to a wafflecrushable stack. I played pretty snug won a huge flip to busrt the finaltable bubble and enter it with a 900k stack. 2nd place had 550k and was on the other table and timed out last hand before break. He was seated to my left at the finaltable and the 3rd place stack had about 220k. This makes for interesting dynamics and I was super active and got to 4 handed in a dogfight with the guy still sitting out . I went from CL to shorty to 3rd for a while then 2nd as the shorty busted. 3 handed lasted for a while I went card dead keep getting 3bet 4bet once with A9s the best hand I had when he 3bet he had A9o we chopped. He eventually busted to the CL I had a 3 to 1 chip disadvantage and never was able to mount a comeback and lost a flip to end it K9<44 he had a set I had a fd on the flop. 16k wasn't bad and quite happy to finally be up lifetime in that tourney

I also spent part of last week in Niagra where I didn't do anything got to 30k gave away my stack in an orbit and a half making 2 bad moves. Was down to 100 chips at 150/300/50 level after one of the bad moves and shoved next 4 hands and won them all to put me close to 6k. I never got anything going for the next level though and busted shoving 11bbs at a redic 200/400/75 level into JJ.

I also drove to Foxwoods in the morning the night of my 1k 2nd place. Thayer, Billy, and myself all played in the $600 the day we got here. Play was soooo bad. My starting table no one could beat playmoney tables I got really tilted by their redic bad table talk. I was also on 20 hours no sleep and a big win and a tourney I wasn't motivated for. Played suped lag vs the live nits got a big stack before losing a 30k pot when avg was 5k when I had 1 out and rivered it but the other guy already hit a higher set. Was a goofy hand and hard to describe in a few words.

I am planning on waking up in 3 hours to play the 1500 at the woods again so hopefully another big score to report.

Ok, so I miss the first couple of hands of the tournament but whatever, we're starting with 10k and 50/100 blinds.

I sit down and my first hand tmay opens UTG for 250. I'm UTG + 1 with KK so I call. It's folded to Theo Tran in the cut-off who bumps it another 600. Folds back to me, I call.

Flop is A87. I check. He bets 750. I call.

Turn is a K...nice...but puts another flush draw on the board. I check and he bets 1350. I check-raise to 3500. He calls.

River is A. I shove and he asks me "You all in?" Uh, yeah. "Ok, I call." and shows quad aces. Go, team.

*EDIT* In a sick twist, on the very next hand, tmay got it all-in pre-flop with KK v AA and busted.

So I left my house quite later as we overslept a bit, and made it to the airport less then 30minutes before our scheduled departure. We are told there is a delay due to weather. So we are waiting around and findout a flight prior to ours was supposed to leave 4 hours before ours and they never left yet. So I get worried book another slightly later flight until we hear we can board the plane now. Anyways we make it fine to our connecting flight and make it in time to sadly see the Sox win again. Get some sleep before waking up to play the $1500. I walk in see ZBTHortan talk to him for a bit before registering. I get to my starting table pretty sure everyone sucks really badly at my table and all tables. Get quite happy seeing the field at each table. Sit in raise my first hand a few limpers which became a reoccurring theme. I get my starting stack of 3500 to about 8k as break 2 hours in then the last hand before break this happens. old guy limps UTG means nothing I can outplay him all day so I decided to raise any 2 OTB. I find my favorite hand pops up 78sdd make it 225 he is only caller. Flops 9d 7s 6s I get all excited he checks I make it 350 he makes it 1850 with 3500 behind avg stack was still like under 4k so this was a bigish stacks. I tank and shove he calls after 30 seconds. I go I have a lot of outs. Then he shows me Q8o no diamonds or spades.

About this time I hear some guys voice yell hey tedsfishfry from the table behind me where fatalerror is playing at. I turn around and jon points to this guy at his table and is like hey this is the guy you coolered for 3rd in the 1k. I chat for a bit with the guy whose a mid 30s live pro. We talk about a few hands he asks me what I had on the stop and go hand vs him I told him A6o he was like wow I folded A8o. I laughed a lot inside about that one. He was a nice guy def a solid player but had many of the standard live leaks online.

I get all excited that I will have close to 4x starting stack in the first 2 hours. Until the turn rolls off the dry Q. I look saddened and I don't resuck for even the chop. I am down to like 2k chips. Eat some lucky pizza come back 2nd hand back. 2 old reg limpers the next youngest kid makes it 5x I plan on shoving a lot of hands with my 2.5k stack at 50/100. I find 44 instaship it in he instacalls with AKo when it gets to him I flop a set. I am now up a bit over 5k. I open after a few limpers again and steal twice 3rd hand same limpers I find AKdd and raise again this build overaggro guy who thinks he makes great reads calls 450 more in the BB, the limpers all fold flops 10s 3x 2s he leads 400 into me I call pretty quickly. Turns a 2 which puts a 2nd flushdraw on the board which I don't have. hHe flings a 1k chip into the pot I call pretty quickly rivers a blank 3 and he fires 1200 and I call and he says nicecall and tables KQo. He is shocked I called him down with ace high. Whole table is stunned I am crushing it again. fatalerror moves to my right we have some fun. I chip back down to 6k at 100/200 open AJo otb to 525 BB this middle aged asain makes it 1725 it's his 3rd 3bet of me I folded the first 2 I shove pretty quickly he calls with A10o and it bricks off and I double. Get a table change to a new table 2nd hand there raise AKo utg+2 this young looking calls 1072r flop I bet 800 on the flop into like 1500. he calls turns an offsuit 8 I bet 2k he calls pretty quickly rivers 3x I bet 4k with like 2k behind online I shove there but live and this keys appearance I was 100% sure he snapcalls a shove but is scared shitless of this valuebet sizing he ends up folding I show to mess with head.

He starts messing with me when I open so I tighten up. This wild guy who keeps c/raising other people at the table opens to 700 at 100/200 with an antee in MP I 3bet AJo in SB to 2100 . I am unsure how deep he is but I esitmate it's under 10k flop comes KdJx4d I have AdJx I check to him he bets 2500 I make it 6k he shoves I see its only 1500 more call and hope to see only KQo. Instead he shows 810dd and I fade it. I am now over 30k and one of the biggest stacks in the tourney with 60 left and 27 paid. move to anotehr table first hand there see an UTG+1 minraise and I am next to act I make it 2500 at 200/400 with AJo because I came to table with a lot of chips knew 2 of the players devo and fellow wafflecrusher thayer. guy calls flop is 843 with 2 spades I have none he checks I bet 3500 he snap calls I get worried and decide Im done I turn the As he checks I check behind rivers an offsuit J. he checks i bet 12k and he calls after 20seconds and I say top 2 and he slamms his QQ on the table and is short. He busts thayers resteal when he wakes up KK and thayer can't 2 out him. So at the time I have 45k and everyone is chasing me next best at table is under 15k. I don't get much going keep my same stack. Get to a tougher table with a few people I've met before and we exchange chips till we break with 4 tables remaining and them paying 3 tables. I have like 50k now avg is around 30k. I coast around abuse the bubble bit but can't get past the 50k hump. We draw as the money bursts our whole 6 handed table stays there but exchange seats. I open 77 OTB BB flats and says most people would raise him here. I am not sure to believe him flop comes AA10R I feel he will play back with a lot of his range check behind. Turns a 2 puts a flushdraw out there he fires like 5k into a 8k pot I call rivers a 3 completes bd flush he fires 6k I call and he shows 54 for the backdoor wheel. I play another bad spot isolating a limper with some trash hand cbet and the bb c/raises me and I fold. I am down to like 30k I know I appear to be really tilting so tighten up. I find KK in LP an orbit ago make it 3k at 600/1200 BB who is same guy who c/r earlier. flops QJ7 with a flushdraw he checks I bet 4500 he shoves I snapcall. He shows Q10o turn 10x the card that gives me lots of resuck hope but I whiff and end up getting 23rd for like 500$ profit.

I end up heading out to this awesome bar called halfshell with vivek, thayer, devo, and jon. It was a good time I was exposed to golden tee propbets and profited almost 200 for my first time playing. I get the feeling that game will end up causing a lot of fun in the near future with betting etc. I tried to wakeup for the 2k the next day and missed play online the day instead and am getting ready for pokerbowl. I am exited for that we play monday at 5 pm western time updates will be on cardplayer.com I am on SanDiego, I am going to try to send text updtates to the editors of this site to do live updating on it for you guys on me personally.
