WSOP over...
I'm back in South Florida where I live now! WSOP is officially over. I ended up busting with an hour left into day 3 in the main event. I managed to turn my 15k 15bb stack into about 100k in the first two hours of the day. It was really unexpected but I ran hot and boom I had a stack out of no where. Unfortunately the rest of the day I went on a slow decline. I lost alot of key pots, ended up with Brandon Cantu on my right with a ton of chips. Towards the end of the day I got down to about 15bbs and found JJ utg. I shove and Brandon reshoves the SB with ATs and an A falls right in the door to finish me off. Very brutal ending to 3 days of grinding really hard and struggling in this tourney but that's how it goes.
I had a great summer and played alot of tournament poker. It was a pretty refreshing change from grinding cash games but now that I'm back home and the FL poker laws have changed I am back to work grinding alot mostly live now. I've been home for 3 days now and played 5/10nl live at hardrock in hollywood every night and the games have been just as I imagined. People have no idea how to play with deep stacks and are completely clueless once the flop comes out. I've had people blatantly tell me they are on flush draws, people counting outs out loud before they make calls and just the most hilarious live tells I've ever seen. One thing is for sure live poker in FL is waaaaayyy easier than online poker nowadays. I've been playing some 10/20 - 30/60 razz this week online but it's been a few weeks since I've grinded heads up cash and it felt like the games have been pretty dead for the most part. I think I will be playing 5/10 or 10/20 live probably 4-5 days a week atleast until it shows some sign of the action slowing down, but I just don't see that happening anytime soon fortunately!
Other than poker, I've been shopping everyday with Loraine for furniture for our condo and it is so hard to make decisions. We've been to like every furniture store and stuff is starting to look the same now and we have no idea what to buy. I was kind of looking foward to buying furniture and setting up a new place but it's alot harder than it sounds. Hopefully tomorrow we will give in and just start shipping some couches and tv's! The only thing we can officially agree on is this glass waterfall with rocks at the bottom that looks really awesome but really doesn't do anything for us as far as furniture...
BTW - Pokerstars party at the Palms with Snoop Dogg was sweeeeet. Snoop's mic had Snoop dogg written on it in diamons and was probably worth more than me lol. I tried to take some pics but it was kinda dark in there and in all of the pictures Snoop came out as this glowing blob, oh well. It was awesome but not enough Gin and Juice to win the Main event. Good luck to my friend Adam Levy (Rooooooothlus) who is still in though with 27 left playing down to the Final Table tomorrow!!!! If he makes it it's gonna be party time back in vegas in november!!!! Even though WSOP is over for me I will still be updating this regularly because it was alot of fun keeping up with this and good to look back on. WCOOP and FTOPS both coming up soon online so stay tuned for both of those and tons of lol live poker stories in the near future I'm sure!

Jason,
Nice Blog, it's nice to follow a successful poker player living in South Florida. I am not at your level playing 5-10, i am happy if i am a successful 2-5 until i build up a bankroll at this point, but live, do you play a nittier style and just let the fish pay you off with worse hands and/or missed draws because we both know they will call 3 bets to the river with missed draws? Just curious if you think I could be successful playing more of a nittier style live? thanks
Kellen
and I am talking about playing live in south florida. I was an acquaintance of duckslayer2k, and that's how i got turned onto your blog.
Glad the summer has been good to you. Mine has been one tale of loss and sorrow after another so far, bit hi hum life goes on. The daily grind is just so addicting hey.
Kellen - I've been playing almost daily at the hardrock in Hollywood and honestly it completely depends on your table. During the week the games are a bit slower and you usually have some pretty nitty tables in general so I like to open my game and raise alot of pots and have people make mistakes after the flop. Weekends on the other hand there are alot more tournist and loose drunk recreational players where it's more profitable to tighten up and wait for great spots because they come around more often. It's all about adjusting to players. Hopefully that gives you an idea!
