Long time no talk LP. Hope all is well to you all. Been busy with work lately and catching up on studying for my CPA exams. I'm leaving work early today to head to Foxwoods for the weekend. I'm meeting up with nutshot and BJLTNYK there and I'll be joining them with a buddy of mine for some grindaments.
Nutshot has been there all week playing the $340, $2k and will be playing the upcoming $560. My buddy Chris, Me, and Brian (BJLTNYK) will most likely join nutshot in the $560 donkament starting Saturday and ends Sunday. It's a decent structure with 20k starting chip stacks and 60 minute levels so there will be some sick deep action going on.
I hope PLO is running there so I can get in my sick PLO grind since it's a MTT filled weekend. Who knows.
Online poker-wise I've been grinding 100PLO on both Pokerstars and FTP and having a decent month. (Up 2k on FTP and PS) I just got more memory in my computer because it was running stone age slow so I will start using my HEM again.
Shout outs to all the hospitality from all fellow LPers during my week stay there in June. It was great times and I look forward to next year's bonanzas.
Will ship a nice trip report post Foxwoods success/debacle.
It has been just over a week since tax season has been over and I can finally RELAX. It was definitely a time-pressured season, working nights, working weekends, and dealing with stressed out coworkers but I managed to get through it with just a few bumps and bruises. Now it's time to prep up and study for my CPA. That is sure to be a challenge.
With tax season out of the way, I can put in more volume with poker. I've been on a MTT/Cash Game stake for the past few months and I have yet to BINK anything serious. It has been a struggle to gain some traction but I think with more free time at hand, I can refocus and hopefully have profitable months ahead. Time to put in the grind $$
I'll be staying at the Borgata Water Club over the weekend for some grinding, nightlife, dinners, etc. We have two rooms for Friday (COMPED! ) and one for Saturday, if anyone is around this weekend, hit me up via pm or something.
On a good note, my boy nutshot has been progressing well in his MTT endeavors. He's binked the 50R and 100R in a matter of 2 weeks. Mad props to him for his HEROISM.
Me and my friend Mike G are all booked for June 12-June 20th at the WYNN in Las Vegas. I'm probably going to play the June 14th $2500 PLO EVENT and the June 16th $1500 NL EVENT. I was in Vegas last year hanging out at the minicastle mansions in June but never got to enjoy the nightlife too much since I grinded the majority of the time I was there and saw a Penn and Teller show with PoorUser. With a week under my belt I'm sure I'll get to experience all the shows, grinding, etc I need and will eventually get tired by the week end. (probably not) Me and Mike will be meeting up with Steve (PoorUser) and gang and definitely enjoy the likes of SW Steakhouse and the WYNN Buffet. Does anyone have any other suggestions on other nice places to eat? Also, does anyone know what casinos regularly run PLO? (PLO Degen lives!)
I'm excited to see the star studded field thats gonna be there in June and all the LP crew members that will be present in June. I'm sure I'll get an opportunity to meet most of you guys.
I am currently looking for a backer to stake me for all freezeout MTTS (would include the 12 180s and 38 180s) up to $215 (SM, Sun 2nd Chance) and all rebuys up to the $55R. My OPR stats and Sharkscope are listed above. I feel that I am a +EV investment for those that wish to take on this staking opportunity. I have a great knowledge of the game and have greatly improved my game in the past year as the stats have shown. I usually play 6 out of the 7 days of the week but with tax season coming around and me being an accountant I would have to scale it down to 3-4 days a week. (2-3 grind sessions during the week and Sunday) When I do play, I do put in a high volume per session. I am looking to move out and feel that a staking opportunity will help me release my funds online to doing so. If I find a backer, there will be only staking money left in account at all times. IRL info and passwords will also be provided.
Specific terms and percentages can be discussed via PM or AIM.
For the most part I’ve been on my own money but have been backed by nutshot2 and PoorUser. I’ve had great success with nutshot making him close to 3-4k under a $1500 stake. I did not do as well with PoorUser since my bankroll management skills at the time were pretty terrible (about a year ago). Any mistakes I made with PoorUser I did pay him back for and both nutshot and PoorUser can vouch to both my integrity and honesty. I have a great network of poker friends that have always been willing to help me in my growth in the poker scene.
Please PM me if interested or shoot me an e-mail at GVibar86@gmail.com
Heading to AC with some buddies this weekend. I'm playing the $340 PLO Event on Saturday which should be quite interesting since it'll be my first PLO event LIVE. I intend to play some intense roulette while I'm there. Throw out your favorite numbers here and I'll be sure to include it!
I should expect some sick soft cash games this weekend and I'm hoping to win some moniessss this weekend (BLINGGGG). Maybe some PLO games will run too -_-. I'm a PLO degen and love the action so I'm expecting a lot from this weekend.
Pokerwise I feel I've grown a ton in my MTT endeavors and become a contender among the field of regulars that always play. I've hit a few nice scores and can comfortably play the limits and sngs that I please. Many close friends know that I've gone a long way from where I was and I'm glad I've had them pull me through it all.
As usual, if anyone is around this weekend feel free to shoot me a PM or something and we can all do some grinding together, etc. It's always nice to meet some of the LP community.
