      <description><![CDATA[Well, after a bit of drinking down in ocean city I headed to vegas wed afternoon. Had a nice direct flight got here got to jon's then passed out for the night. Woke up went to a BBQ at the gobbo castle pretty sick time then headed to rio for registering for first event. New set up looks a lot cleaner should be a lot less problems with long lines and table congestion. I'm really feeling good going into this long series. Going to be the perfect grind.
I think the field sizes are going to be above most people expectation. I hope I find a way to play the 1500 as well but if I make day2 of the 10k I may have to skip it and def not going to miss sundays.A lot solid players are skipping this event and I'm quite surprised just means it's going to be that much softer. Expect a few more updates coming as I'll have things to write about finally. Going to add on to my 27th record hopefully starting with this event.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Well today started out pretty badly was a huge ftops even with a 300r so I was scrambling around trying to get horses enough money. I really like this event and structure allow good players to gobble up all the EV. It's funny I convinced like 5 people to play it saying how they are dumb not to its a really soft tourney but always gets a really tough ft. FTP also had a 100r turbo warmup which I knew would be a blast. I got a good stack in that early ran into some rough hands/stretches and busted around the bubble. Luckily one of my wafflecrushers had a nice stack and continued to dominate. Adam/probbluffingyou on ftp was who I roomed with at TS along with little ras I think very highly of his game even though he's not had a huge score yet. 

Anyways he got gayed as he always does on the ft bubble with AA=AJo AIPF and AJ losing to A4 AIPF to bubble him. It's sad how bad our horses run that sometimes they think they aren't as good as they are. [[ This is a content summary only.

      <description><![CDATA[Well, I apoligize for the few of you who keep checking back for updates I never felt like I had much good to write about. Had a really bad sickness in San Remo a great Amsterdam trip, then a disappointing day2 after a massive climb of chip stack on day1. I basically been resting up since my 2nd amsterdam trip. I ended up going to AC for their 2k event last weekend but I got shutout in redic gay fashion. The staff there really messed up in how they ran the registration and alternate list for that tourney was a shame looked like a good field to play. 

On the poker side of things haven't had much to write about thayer's been kicking my ass in our 5 figure prop bet I was down a whopping 16-10 because I went nearly 5 weeks without a 10k score that wasn't a wsop seat. Earlier this week I played a pot 4 handed for about 80% of the chips in play in a decent 100r ended up losing and getting 4th a little while later which was on the 5figure score bubble.

      <description><![CDATA[Well the internet has turned me quite tilted right now as I got into amsterdam it went down at some redic key points for me when I was shortstacked in a bunch of tourneys. Note this will be the most rambliest blog I've ever made as its been almost 6 days of this sickness along with a bunch of travling lack of sleep good food and actually nutrients. I'm sorry for being so long actually been some great stuff to write about I just hate writing because I'm so bad at it and the great stories get missed in the awful grammer lack of punctuation. Quick recaps which I promise sometime at the end of the week I'll expand on.

Reno:

High points'
lot of guys I don't get to grind/hangout with much were there had some fun in the 500r plo with devo. 

Devo and JP both played sick good and made the TV fts so well deserved. [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Well this is a thing I have had happen to me early in my poker multitabling career but for over a year it has stayed away. Until 2 nights ago session it popped it's ugly head. I am quite sure I know why it happened new laptop getting used to diff touchpad speed sites don't have my preferences saved I don't have my allsnap and pt and pahud if I want to turn them on. Usually don't but I think knowing they weren't there effected my mindset. Once i got over 16 tables I started getting annoyed I start late sessions here down in florida. Usually start with 200 turbo at 6 and not many things till the 7pms and on. I happened to only bust out of 1 tourney from 7pm to the 50/50s at 930 I had something like 21 tables going on taking to a possible agent chatting on 2+2 and aim while smoking a black and mild. I then realized I was doing wayyyy too much shit at once and that was partially why I didn't bust. [[ This is a content summary only.

      <description><![CDATA[Well after getting done with the LAPC I got home it was cold and snowy def not the environment I felt like being in. So I decided to book a flight to florida for a nice little vacation. Anyways I'm here with my dad and gram and lots of relatives who are down here for the winter. I happened to fly down the day before my 22nd bday so I went out with my dad to his fav bar down here cheers had some drinks was a bit tired from traveling so we headed home a bit early before the crowd came. Woke up went to this awesome italien restaurant trato fragolio or something if any of you are in the lauderdale area and want a place to eat I'll find the actual name out for you I cant think of it and its something similar to that but my fam just calls it tutty fruity because its easier to say and remember. I then played sundays at lilholdems house was a lot of fun to grind with a few new people and watch him from behind the screen. [[ This is a content summary only.

      <description><![CDATA[Well I ended day1 of the LAPC 10k with 50k well above avg after playing really aggro getting a nice suck out in 1 big pot and losing 10k chips last hand of the day playing well. I had a semi tough starting table recognizing fellow online player xthestienx, eric cajelous no idea how to spell his last name,kristy gazes, and humberto I'm a douchebag brenes. Anyways I had one of the larger stacks at the table and def expected some interesting hands. I chipped up in first 2 orbits another 10k chips stealing a few blinds and winning a few other pots. It's my BB now I notice youngish female raised to 1200 utg at 200400 notice shes shaking a bit first hand she's played too so Im like wow she has a big hand here. Folded to me in the BB I peel the Ad and think wow great spot for aces shitty spot for AQ etc. [[ This is a content summary only.

      <description><![CDATA[So I woke up today played a few online steps and a few mtts said if I bust everything quick I'll play the 1500 live mtt here so I busted everything said fuck it let's go donk off money live. So I end up playing in it get a decent table draw recognize fellow online mtter ely cash and omaha guru sirens. I know sirens can and will gamble early and often he's made that clear. I get my awful 3500 starting stack at 25/50 blinds to 5k without anything all that interesting raising a bunch and hitting boards. Then I raise AQo utg+1 9 handed table to 125 2 people call who have called a bunch before sirens in CO makes it 600 with 2k behind often I snapfold this but I was quite sure he was squeezing wide and folding a bunch to 4 bet and AQ has equity and less likely QQ AK AA etc. So he tanks and folds. A few hands later he opens ep guy calls Im otb find JJ squeeze he shoves his 2k I call quickly and bam upto 9k in first 30min. [[ This is a content summary only.

      <description><![CDATA[Well sorry I've been really active lately playing and usually playing till I fall asleep sometimes while still in a few tourneys oops. I haven't traveled since aussie until taking a flight out last minute decision to the LAPC. Flew out of albany at 6am and was able to get to la around noon. I hung out for a bit met up with kyle fellow tworager not sure how else to describe him. Pretty much he's the way I'll be in 20 years if successful.
Anyways we grab some lunch before the 1k that stars at 3:30. I have a really good table draw but structure sucks 3k starting stacks 25/50 blinds hour levels. Anyways chip up a bit my usual ways getting there vs people or getting them to fold. I get some chips to like 8k we go on  dinner break come back first hand guy opens to 700 sb makes it 2250 I shove for 8k with AA he has aces Im saddened. I misread the board and stack sizes and get it in with A3hh on a Ks6s3x board vs 810s I laugh table thinks Im nuts their prob right. [[ This is a content summary only.

      <description><![CDATA[
Sorry for not putting something up over the past 2 weeks I was busy losing money in funny ways for all the live events. I had a nice 0fer for this series even though I got a stack in a few different tourneys. I was really happy with my play on all days and I really just got totally setup in hands I don't want to get away from being way ahead as they should be but never winning those crucial late pots. The structures were pretty good the staff was really friendly the dealers weren't bad some were really good though. Overall I would prob pick crown as my home casino if I was forced to pick one and stay there just for the fact the locals play sooo bad and predictable. I was never uncomfortable at any table and always got an image I could work with. 

I think I got above a double stack in all but 1 tourney which is quite a good thing for me because I used to bust a lot early and I made a conscious effort to be a bit more patient live its soo hard when Im used to 15table grinding.

      <description><![CDATA[Well I was finishing up a session at like 3am when I busted in the midnight tourneys I wasn't sure when my flight out of Albany was but I knew my LA flight was at 11:30 west coast so I assumed my albany flight was afternoonish. Anyways I find out my flights at 7am I'm quite pissed since my layovers are 3 hours in chicago and 8 hours in LA. So anyways I start rushing around to get ready finish up packing get done around 5 and then check UB and see a great thing phil hellmuth sitting at a 10/25 hu table. I immediately sit as he's pretty awful at cash games and donated a lot to me and others at 25/50 6max the other day.  Anyways I stack him for 1k he reloads 500 wins a flop for like 2k pot and then runs like god. I played some hands realllly badly but still had a large edge vs him. We were like 6500 deep and I got stacked with 99 vs A8 on an A83r89 board no fds ever. [[ This is a content summary only.

      <description><![CDATA[Alright now Sunday couldn't have started off worse then I had planned, I was reg for the Sunday brawl on ftp and hoped to be up for the warmup. I just got a new blackberry so I can get use it internationally so anyways at like 7am I am toying with it's alarm making sure I get up in about 5 hours. Set it for 12:20AM then pass out. I wakeup not from my alarm get a bit worried think maybe I just got up before it so I check to see what time it is and see it's already 3:15 I am angry I missed a bunch of good tourneys and whatever I wait for the dead time on sunday and get in a few things. I had a great table draw in the mil get upto 50k pretty easily early then 75k then I play a really goofy hand. A p5er who I met in prague raises in EP which over the last 3 orbits hes played close to 45/35 going from a shortstack to now a 70k stack himself he raises and I have A4s in the BB and 3bet his 2.

      <description><![CDATA[Well I had a pretty sleepy 13 hours worth of flights to get over there wasn't so bad Im kind of getting used to this whole pond hopping traveling. Getting a few tricks of the trade down as I am no small man and getting comfortable in such small spaces for long times can be tough. Anyways I get to the hotel pretty easily try to check in need to wait a few hours. Hangout in the lobby with the wireless until timex happens to walk buy we chat for a bit I can check in now since he just did it and we end up near each other and get some breakfast.
 
Food was decent could tell on a hangover it would taste delicious. We hangout the hotel for a bit meeting up with skier_5 . We head to the stars welcome party and a few of the staff I hung out with in Barcelona/London are there really fun to drink with as stars employees know how to let loose and have a great time. We head to the darling caberet after meeting up with jovial gent and bikocruz at the party. [[ This is a content summary only.

      <description><![CDATA[Well I will write tourney reports for the EPT Prague ME and the 2k Euro side event I played both with a lot of interesting hands and such but right now my minds on something else. I had a good last night in Prague ended up  getting into a club it was a good time the EPT winner was there celebrating a solid player I've played with before was def who I was rooting for once timex busted. Anyways I head to the airport on no sleep planning on getting lots on my long upcoming flights. First 2 flights were a breeze got lucky no one was sitting in the middle seat so I had plenty of room to stretch during the 9 hour flight from vienna to Wahington DC I get there around 3 eastern for a flight to Albany at 5:30. I made a mistake of having half a box of cigars with me that tufat kept from our amsterdam trip.

I thought nothing off it and told customs that I had the goods had to get it checked they were habana romeo y juliets which are illegal to have in the US. [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I had two very similar finaltables go down and if you saw hand by hand you would think they were almost identical cept in the 100r I was winning flips. The 10r was fun had a good group in the room for sundays hgaving a lot of fun busting balls and not getting much going. I had a deep run in the mil before losing a 300k pot ith AKo vs QJo on a A63 flop he went running spades. I was angry but keep getting deeper in the 10r that had a massive 3k field and 90k prizepool fetching 17k for first. I got to two tables left nad recognized a few 2+2ers and went on a nice rush to get to 2mil chips with like 8 left I had the same stack until I got hu vs this really weak bad player and he had a 7to 1 cl to start and a 9to1 at his peak. I ran him over after that had a huge pot with AQ vs AJ 4 bets went in pre and he checkmiraised me on a KQx8 board when we had a potsized bet left before he c/minraised I called and won a bit later.

      <description><![CDATA[Well the last few days I've been not playing much I kind of welshed on my goal for TLB early when I decided I would be heading to turningstone for their small 5 days of events. Nothing huge but a few friends heading there as well as dead time in the week prior to heading back to Europe. I had good success in the first even getting my 10k starting stack up to 35k before antees 5th level kicked in. For the levels I was there for the new structure was amazing big thanks to pete the tourney director who is probably the person responsible for the levels added. Anyway I get moved to a new table featuring randallin and a few weak players early on play a weird hand where I raise a guys turn lead when we were both very deep and he did a small 3bet in a big pot. I folded and wanted to get that guy back. 

I had a terrible laggy/bad image at my table keep getting played back at with no hands to show for it. [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Here's a post I made on 2+2 earlier today felt like I never give you guys any real strategy I swear sometime this week I will get a PXF handhistory up of something interesting.

I spent many hours today trying to explain this stuff to a student today about the one part of tourneys I've experienced and couldn't prove because the math is too intensive. This is a lot of gigablock theory/optimal stack ideas theory included, I know many of you disagree with the block theory but it's correct in many complex ways.

Basically the jist of it is this example.

Say I have have a 15bb stack at the middle stages of a tourney and the stacks to my direct left are effectively this 20bbs,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45 , and say the player to my left is an aggro solid player who will give me fits is too my left the other players are no where as good as as him or me we are def first and 2nd in skill at the table.

      <description><![CDATA[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 is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]]]></description>

      <title>The diaries of a wafflecrusher</title>

      <description><![CDATA[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. [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[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.

      <description><![CDATA[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 K[d]K[h] 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 A[s]8[c]7[c].  I check.  He bets 750.  I call.

Turn is a K[s]...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[d].  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.  ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[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.

      <description><![CDATA[Just got to the final table of tonight's FTP $1k.  For a change, I'm going to write this report as I play.  Wish me luck!  

I had the CL going into 2 tables a really bad laggy player to my left hit vs me every pot for 4 straight pots to knock me down. I had to nit it up cuz I got 0 real hands after that. Anyways came to final table 9/9, and started to write this up with some interesting hands. 

I had 40k at break with blinds going upto 2500/5000/600 folded 84o in SB after it got raised then had this really interesting hand. I think this is a great spot to sng.

      <description><![CDATA[Well, the ALDS really sucked being such a die hard Yankee fan. As soon as I got to Cleveland the bad run continued. The first flight I had booked got canceled so I had to book a non direct flight through philly. My frst flight was about an hour delayed and myself and a few others on that plane were all going to Cleveland. So I figured we would get our luggage. They did I didn't, I headed to the hotel and met up with ray and thayer was a perfect location 2 minutes walking distance from Jacob's Field.  We play the nightlys all run bad and my suitcase gets there at like 1am. We getup drive to Adam Junglens house like 30minute away because thats where ray had the tickets shipped and he forgot them there when leaving the day before. We drink a few beers get to the game not sure what to expect being all decked out in Yankee gear. We get to our seats which are upper deck but 2nd row of seats and in between home plate and 3rd base so a great view. [[ This is a content summary only.

      <description><![CDATA[ Well it's been nice being back home for a whopping 3 days, and now I am leaving again. I am heading to Cleveland to watch the Yankees dominate the Indians in the ALDS. Heading down there with fellow wafflecrushers thayer and exitonly(ray). I am unsure of what I am going to do after that prob play sundays at someones house maybe actually hit a big score. I plan on going to the Canterbury classic coming up and then Niagara after that. I really see the difference way more now being back home after being away. After college I felt like I saw different things but traveling around Europe you see how the other half lives. I am intrigued to travel more the next few years as exploring different countries is something I enjoy. 

I am picking up a lot of students this week for this month. I expect to have 15-20 when it's all said and done. I love coaching and it's something that as I improve at doing it will help me understand my thought process from the basics better then prior. [[ This is a content summary only.

      <description><![CDATA[Well I happened to goto bet and wakeup about 6 hours later then any other day this past month which at the time I had no clue it would be so beneficially for me to be on such a later schedule.\par
I head over to the gobbo suite since they get wireless and schaefers and mine room doesn't. Jeff finds some some really nice restaurant in London for us to goto they keep telling me it has 2 michelean stars I have never heard of it before but they were talking about it like it was amazing since it had 2 so I guess it's a really small grading scale. We don't even know what style of food it is but decide to go there anyway. Schaefer ends up not wanting so go so it ends up being just Actionjeff, skier, gobbo, rainkhan, boostedj, and myself. We go downstairs for some drinks as our reservation was for 9. We clean out the bar we are at inside the hotel in about 3 minutes sit down enjoy a pint of stella which has grown upon me since coming here and is def my favorite draft beer.

      <description><![CDATA[This has been another odd trip back to London. The things that I expected to workout have all failed miserably and anything I didn't expect to work did. I went on the Stars booze cruise two nights ago had a good time met a few stars staff and they were a lot of fun to talk to. I also talked to Lee Jones about getting in for the tourney the next day on W$. He went out of his way at the party and later on when he got home to try to get us in even though he easily could of just been like nah too late try again. So andy and myself are scrambling to find 20k W$ by the morning. We find a bunch and then send an e-mail to lee about it and then meet him outside the casino at noon. We get there and unfortunately he says theres nothing he can do it is impossible to wire money to the casino in time. Anyways I just had enough cash to buyin andy boostedj and myself and lee was able to buy the other guy in who he was trying to get in with a spare seat from rainkhan.

      <description><![CDATA[Anyways I've been busy the last 3-4 weeks traveling around Europe with different people I meet at my previous locations. Been a great experience so far on my own having a good time, up a bit of money but should of been a lot more some stupid degen moments I may write up about later when I am on not on such a rant mood.

Anyways this rant will be about taxis and how bad they have been for me recently. Anyways Barcelona only had to take 2 of them first one guy spoke no English besides some stuff he learned when he was trying out to become a tour bus driver. All he knew in English was stupid tourist things that I didn't care one bit about at 7am after flying for 8 hours. So a few nights later my WSOPE finally started I was at sportsman casino the furthest away and I had to take the tube for the first time to get there was lost as fuck basically.

      <description><![CDATA[Alright, time to get used to writing up at my new home here at tworags blogging community. I couldn't turn down the offer to write here with many of my early mentors and more recent ones were already here writing a lot better then I ever could. Anyways I'm hanging out in Amsterdam right now waiting for EPT London. Been great time here, A lot better action here then London. Meet up with a few 2+2ers and a local one from here who has a bunch of friends we are going out with tonite should be a good last night here. I have put more online sessions in here then I expected but we go out really early here and thus get back to the room around midnight-1am here and just make it in time for the 7 estern tourneys so we end up playing all night.

Also been playing a lot of HU cash lately on UB and stars up a good amount been playing a really really diff style thanks to being around andy lately. I tried to hit and run taylor cabby and that didn't work out too well. [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]]]></description>
