Hagbard_Celine:  Checking in

Been a while since my last post.

I've been putting in some good volume, but am consistently getting disappointed in big tournaments.

Since my last post I've final tabled the FTP 65K ($150+13) twice, but ended up 7th and 8th respectively. My 8th place finish last night did make for a profitable Sunday (Joy!), but was still really disappointing as I ended up busting 44

From the Dealer's Box:  Update on Job and Poker

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while, I know some of you enjoyed my road to getting a dealing job. Now that I have it I am working 5 days a week a full 8 hours at a minimum, a lot of the time I am working overtime. I barely have the time an energy to put in an hour or two playing some NL25 on Stars. So my goal for this blog is to catch up a little bit on whats been going on in my life and talk a little bit on where I would like to be in the next few months...

St. Lucifer:   May Breakthrough

Hey Rags...

This is probably the first time I’ve ever been excited reporting poker news. I think its simply because I can start to see some of the time and work pay off to some degree.

Let me offer a little background for those who haven’t been following my sporadic and disappointing attempts at blogging. I was primarily a lowstakes, halftime sng grinder with good but not great results and have since moved to lowstakes mtt's (just 180's for now) with encouraging results. May was the first month I was to take the 180's seriously.... Below is my report...

brad2002tj:   Deja Vu at the Beau Rivage

It was my girlfriend and my third anniversary so we spent last weekend at the Beau Rivage in Biloxi, MS. We flew into New Orleans and drove a rental car (~1.5 hour drive) to Biloxi.  Checking in was a bit of a mess.  At the front desk the clerk said they don't have any ocean view rooms (even though we booked one) and verified we want a non-smoking room.


We make the trek up to the room and walk into what is clearly a smoking room. We go back down to the front desk and the manager gets us into a non-smoking room, and guess what now there is an ocean view available. So they set us up again and we go up to a really nice non-smoking ocean view room on the 15th floor. As I am going through the check-in documents I notice they have someone else's name on it. Back to the front desk for them to straighten it out, which only takes a few minutes.

EdmondDantes:   Club One hosts a WSOP satellite

I'm happy to report that we held our WSOP satellite tournament at Club One today, and it drew enough entrants where we didn't have to cough up too much extra dough to satisfy the seat guarantee that I agreed to months ago in a bourbon-fueled burst of confidence.

I was bracing myself for the worst since I've been running bad lately. For an owner, "running bad" is defined as paying out back-to-back bad beat jackpots and dealing with an HVAC system that, like many folks in the region, doesn't want to work when it's hot out. Fortunately, through a last minute blitz of fliers, posters and begging, we pulled just enough entrants to cover the guarantee...
