SCOOP
So many people wonder about poker being the same as any other table in a casino. The difference is, you are playing against other players and not the casino. The casino in the long run cannot mathematically lose. You can be much more skilled at these games then your opponent. Which is why playing poker is clearly a game of skill.

Another LOL mtt day
So I ran out some Mtts, $36 180s, and a $60 90 for my BAP. Also played some $12 and $22 180s for my own action. Definitely lost on the day on my own action, probably didn't do too well for the BAP either. Was HU in a $27.50 500 cap, and had a guy allin with MY a7 vs 22, a6 vs a3, 99 vs KJ, a2 vs 86. These were ALL for all the chips. Then this final hand, also being for all the chips.

Harrah's finale
Waited until I got home to post the result here, posted elsewhere for my BAP. Pretty gross finish.
BVB raise KK good lag player calls. Flop J75 i bet 2/3 pot call, turn x. bet 2/3 pot call river J have to check call 1/2ish pot bet bb shows JTo for 40k pot. Get allin with K5s vs QJ on Qxx 2s for 35k whiff.
FINAL HAND: bb1200 I open button to 3300 with 66, sb folds bb calls. Flop Qs5d6d bb checks, I bet 4k he JAMS I snap. ~100k pot he tables 42d, turn Kh river 9d gg fml etc.
This was for the CL with 20 left (12 paid) and ~$11k to 1st. Would have been freerolling my BAP had I held there (more than likely).
Going to play the freerolls tomorrow, and some tournaments as well as 180s. Sister comes into DFW around 9pm, so have to stop registering around 2 for mtts (may just play a few 11am ones) and try to get in 50-100 180s.
Have been more and more active in PTP (mostly staking). Thinking about running a BAP for 11r, 22 cubed and freezeouts 55-109. Going to sleep for now, will update tomorrow if I find time.

Back at it
So it has been a long time since I have posted on here, and I figured it would be best to just delete all old posts and start off fresh. I will be posting a lot more next year about poker, life, etc. but until then will be mostly life and some poker.
My Dad and I are currently in New Orleans, LA to play a couple events at the Winter Bayou Poker Challenge. We're staying at the W New Orleans which is the most impressive hotel I've stayed at. We have Harrah's on one side of us, and Mother's restaurant on the other.
Mother's was featured on Man vs Food and is simply amazing. We came in Tuesday night and ordered a Ferdy Special po boy and a fried catfish po boy. We had half of each and were absolutely amazing. We then went back this morning between registration and the start of the tournament to split the Ferdy Special. We will go at least once more (probably 2 or 3 times) and my dad wants to try the plain ham po boy which is probably amazing.
Ferdy Special
Catfish
Won't talk about poker much as it just didn't go well but tomorrow will be a different story. It will be a $340 6 max NLHE with a super soft field. We were informed once we got here that these are 2 day events and on Cardplayer they were listed as all 1 day events except the $3125. After finding this out we can't play the Friday event as we have to pick my sister up in Dallas on Saturday night from the airport.
So we headed over to Deanie's Seafood in Metairie (suburb of New Orleans) which was about 15 minutes from the hotel. It was also featured in Man vs Food and it was a must stop place for us.
Right from the start this place was amazing. They start off with some red potatoes that were out of this world. Then for an appetizer we had 2lbs of boiled crawfish. A lot of work for the small amount of meat inside but well worth it. Then came the seafood and okra gumbo. Incredible. Had a crab claw as well as shrimp in a spicy rice gumbo. For the main course was Barbeque Jumbo Shrimp, which is what we came for. The picture doesn't do justice of exactly how big and flavorful these were. Biggest and best tasting shrimp, hands down no contest. To finish it off was Coconut Custard with shaved almonds bread pudding. This was a perfect ending to a perfect meal and anyone who is remotely close to this place needs to go.
Crawfish
Gumbo tastes better than it looks
Biggest EVER
Halfway through the bread pudding
