Vacation

San Francisco was great and vacation way over due.  Went to several museums and most tourist spots of course.  I did find some interesting NLHE poker at a place called Artichoke Joes.  The blinds are $1/2 but its $5 to go but the SB puts in $2 and $1 of that is dropped for a bad beat. In addition to that, the button also forced to put up $1. To make it even more compelling, they allow any position to put up $5 for a kill, which makes it $10 to go for everyone else.  The kill position is the last position to act.  The rake is rather high at $5 with an additional $1 for bad beat.  They also make a $1 house drop even if there is no flop!!

p.s. Don't forget the $1,500 freeroll is private and only for those of you whom have signed up from this site which means good payout!

Also like to thank and welcome professional poker player PPTheBandit for joining the forum.

WSOP June 28th, 2010

WSOP unfortunately did not go as planned. Played 5 live tourneys and only 1 final table. In the $1,500 buy in event #45 I went out with AK vs J9. I really need more than 2 day weekend off from work.

Thanks Full Tilt for the "pro choice room" and gear. Always good to see everyone....Perry we will have to catch up after ...
