So ive been grinding nonstop since Sunday for the p5s PLB contest. Have a couple FTs, 4th in 109 turbo and today i got 5th in 100r. Still very disappointing as I lost huge flips in both to bust. Good news is that cash games are going well this...

Its been almost a month since my last post, as I havent really had anything eventful going on during the month of October. Poker-wise, Ive been putting in random cash/sng/mtt sessions here and there - with no regular schedule. Ive been playing...
Woke up today to play the 5k and found the room empty at 11am. Apparently the tournament was scheduled for noon although my receipt said 11am and every other tourney besides the 10ks have always started at the same time at Foxwoods. We start...
Yummm Aruba Aribe mmmmmm....it’s been almost 2 weeks since I've been back from Aruba and I’m already counting down the days until next year’s trip. Aruba is the best tournament of the year and this year was no different, except that I...
Tony is being interviewed after busting out of the PokerStars Baltic Festival. The 1st question asked of him was “What The Hell Happened?” Tony explains that he had Aces and another came on the board - they both end up agreeing...
I've been putting in a lot of hours in the online poker circuit and have had good results over the past few weeks. I've been playing better and having a little bit better results in the 100 rebuys, won one on full tilt but have still not ever...
Hey m8's,
I hope everyone is doing well, and crushing the poker tables. Sorry about the delay in the blog as I have been busy building pnews strategy. Yes, were going to do it right this time and it should be good content for you guys....
I decided it was finally time to write a first blog post for PokerNews. I mean, I have been with the company now for almost three months -- I think it's long overdue. Many of you may know me from my time with Bluff Magazine, or...
Guys have birthdays and fly clear across the country to celebrate in Las Vegas. When I turned 23, last week, I didn’t need to go anywhere. A five minute limo ride from my condo and I was smack in the middle of the Strip. As you might expect,...
I have never done the Aruba Classic before, but I decided to go with one of my buddies who won a package via UltimateBet. It didn't take much convincing after I heard all the great things about the island. Also, I was able to purchase a seat...
PKR Heads Up
The PKR Heads Up Grand Slam took place in London, right after the EPT. As far as I know, the objective is to become the European NBC Heads up. They invited some players and the rest of the field was filled with...
My friend is playing $2/4 NL Hold'em 6-max on PartyPoker when he gets involved in the following hand:
The player first to act (Under The Gun), who has $827, raises to $12.
It folds to him on the button ($852 stack) with black...

So its 202AM right now, and I am pretty much just staying up until I leave for my trip to Aruba.
I am here at the Jersey Shore with my sis and bro, and were hitting the road at 430am from Cape May NJ to Newark. From there I have an...
Some days, you just can't get anything going on the felt. Sunday, being the biggest online poker day of the week, isn't the ideal time to be unproductive. I had one min cash in the $100 cube turbo on PokerStars and that was about it. In the...
So I'm back to school this semester taking a few courses and playing soccer. We had our first games last week. Started off with a win at home and then tied our game the following day on the road to Mount Alison (which was the school I use to...
The following is a response to a blog posted by Haley attacking my brother, Mickey, who reports for Pokernews and used to work for Haley. She oh so cleverly hid it as an attack on me, though she has never met me and everything she...
Its Sunday morning and I am about to hop in the shower before my day kicks off in 30 minutes. I have literally been playing 12 hours a day since we started Thursday and thus haven't had time to update this blog.
Although I haven't had...
Well, August has been a fun month for me. I went to the WPO at Goldstrike and although I bubbled on one of the events, it was still fun. I was proud to see my clients win several of the events including the Main Event. Chris Moneymaker did...
I got back from EPT Kyiv about 4 days ago and needed that much time to recover. EPT ‘s are easily my favorite tournemtns to cover. The tourney staff clearly love what they do, every night after play ends it always involves playing some...
I’m up at3:30 again waiting for … you guessed it … a Chinese poker game. We’re supposed to be starting in 5 minutes, but that might be a pipe dream. Who knows if the game will ever go off. Sunday was another disappointment. I’ve...
It's not very often I get to take some time off (my wife dont really call it time off, since my phone needs charging every day) with the family, but when I do - we like to go to our own special place in Greece.
It's on the island of...
I made the Final Table of the WPT Bellagio Cup $15k Event last night. It was an awesome experience to say the least. I had a few friends and some family in town to root for me hardcore which was really great(thanks guys). I was very tired in...
Well, I'm in Las Vegas, chillin' out, enjoying myself, playing online poker and looking forward to the Main Event which starts on July 3.
It's a bummer I can't play but it's the third year I've been out here and been underage so I'm...
Had a swingy day in the 40k. My starting table had vanessa russo, john juanda, thorladen, noah schwartz, ivan demidov and johnny chan. I didnt play many hands for the first couple levels then at 500/1k I accidentally raise to 2k with 9s (meant...
