Letting the dog out is +EV over letting the dog shit on the rug.
One good thing about P2N is getting to see the UB.net commercials. They're not necessarily better thann FTP or PS, but new is good!
Normally I like to get my opponents pulled up in PT before I get into any big pots, but I turned 40 into 190+ before I could blink!
OK, now Joe S & Jeff ? are talking about Darvin Moon & Randy Moss........
40,088 most hands in a day! Some dude in Russia was getting busy!!!!
Dog needs in......
I bought positively 5th Street yesterday & apparently James McManus is coming out with a new book.
Dana Workman is kinda cute.
OK standing up w/my $140 @ Carlitos before I donk it off. Will buy in for the min @ another table. I always buy in for the min in PLO. It is +EV.
Joe Huff, that's his name! Anyone heard of him before?
OK, Show 1 is over & I'm gonna roll right into show 2.
Currently w/$49.30 on Rancher. Double up once when I had 3 aces in my hand!
Still waiting on a second table.....
P2N is on once a week for 1/2 hour. Seems about right.
Just won a $5.35 pot on Rancher w/JJJKK. Not much action as someone could have flopped a royal flush in spades.
Doyle is on...... they are previewing the last big event of the year @ Bellagio.
I made my 1st post on 2+2 last night & so far they seem like a bunch on immature 14 year olds.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how good of a pro is Chino Rheem?
On pace to make Iron Man this month for the first time in a few years!
Q879 double suited.....in big blind... shit.... almost saw a flop but the button popped it to $5.50. FOLD.
Dana Workman let her hair down this week & is wearing a hippie shirt.... I give her a 7.
Poker Brat coming up next.
UB.net..... What if poker was like baseball?
Finally a seat opens @ the only 1/2 table running now (I like 9-handed, not 6) Rose Garden (RG). I sit w/$40. Gonna wait for the BB while I load my opponents in PT.
Annie Duke...... 2.
Set of 8's is good on Rancher... up to $54.30.
Money management is key!
Worst year ever for Phil Helmuth. 0 Final tables.
Remember to keep any gaps @ the bottom of your cards.
What if poker was like football?
Just noticed P2N is in HiDef this week. NH
Apparently Jason Mercier is the best YOUNG player in poker right now.
Layne Flack...... drunk.... poker genius.... or both?
JKQQ.......SB........227 flop, 2 hearts....better fold.......
These guys aren't funny, but at least they don't take themselves too seriously.
P2N # 2 is over. Not bad. I'll keep the season pass on it.
Standing up w/$47.30 on Rancher & sitting w/$20 @ .50/1 Maplegrove.
Got 79 FTP's so far. Will stop after I'm over 100.
Currently @ $33 @ RG.... nothing to speak of yet.
Waiting for BB on Maplegrove w/$20.
Lost $20 on Mg as a fav I think..... Yep, 63-37.
Up to $67.10 on RG.
Got my 100 points, so unchecking Auto-post blinds.
OK, done playing, so let's get some totals........
For the Ferguson Challenge I am sitting at a new high of $2,881.09.
I made $150 tonight total on the 4 PLO tables.
This was fun... maybe I'll try it again tomorrow.

November Poker Summary
• Ferguson Challenge Update – I started November with $186.49, and finished with $2494.77. Yes it was a good month! I found a tourney ($5.50 PLHA) that I had some nice successes in, placing 2nd ($95), 1st ($127.19), 1st ($148.85), and 2nd ($139.23). In addition, FTP is running a Holiday Hundred bonus promotion, with a max of $100 bonus available over a 30 day period. Thus, I’ve been playing more cash games, mostly 9-handed PLO. Halfway thru the bonus period I have cleared half the bonus for $50. I was up $130.52 for PLO cash games in November. The big bankroll jump took place when I took 2nd place on November 28th in the Daily Double A ($10 + 2) out of 1,521 players for $1771.97! Sure I got lucky in a few spots along the way, and I would have won 1st place if I hadn’t gotten 4-flushed on the river in our last hand heads up when my A5 hit a 5 on the flop vs his A3. So, what this means for the Ferguson challenge is I started the month being able to buy-in to cash games for $9, and ended the month being able to buy-in for $120! Obviously there is still a long way to go, but November 2009 should provide a big boost in my attempt to complete the Ferguson Challenge.
• I took 2nd place in the November NCPC Event #4, and am still in 1st place with 6 events remaining.
• I played in a $50 tourney @ a former co-workers house the day after Thanksgiving and ended up in a 3-way chop for $265. Gave back some of it afterward though playing $1/$2 Stud.
• On November 6th I checked out the new Hollywood Casino (former Argosy) for the 1st time. I played in a $125 NL Bounty Tournament. I knocked out a couple players for $20 each, but ended up missing on a straight flush draw and didn’t cash. The WPT Poker Room is definitely a lot bigger & nicer than the old one.
• I just completed Gus Hansen’s Every Hand Revealed and am halfway through Daniel Negreanu’s Power Hold’Em Strategy. I would recommend both, as they take different approaches toward improving your game.

End of October Poker Updates
October was the 1st losing month for me since starting the Ferguson challenge. I started the month with $243.21 and ended with $186.49. I think getting above $200 & playing $10 tourneys was what cost me. I didn't play close to the # as cash games in Oct that I did in Sept. As the old saying goes, "Ring games are for making $ and tourneys are for fun".
After 3 NCPC events I am still in 1st place, with a 4th place finish in October. 7 more events to go & the top 3 finishers win WSOP Prize packages.
I am currently 8th in the Goshen Poker League after the 1st 2 events in October.
I am currently reading Power Hold'em Strategy by Daniel Negreanu and Every Hand Revealed by Gus Hansen.
In addition to the WSOP on ESPN, I also watched 2M2MM. In the whole season I think they only talked poker stategy one time, so if they bring it back next year I hope there is more strategy discussion.

September Poker Results
All things considered, September was a pretty good poker month:
- After 2 NCPC events I am in 1st place, with back to back wins! 8 more events to go & the top 3 finishers win WSOP Prize packages.
- I finished 3rd of 24 in the Goshen Poker League Main Event.
- I am currently re-reading Harrington on Hold'em 3, and Omaha Hi-Lo. I just ordered 3 new poker books w/some extra cash I earned on PayPal.
- Ferguson Challenge Update:
I started September with $129.92, and ended with $243.21.
Highlights included:
Earned $25 in the FTP Take 2 promotion.

Congrats to Tony McGlone WSOP Main Event Cash!
Congrats to Tony McGlone on his World Series of Poker Main Event Cash!!!!! He finished 174 out of 6,494 players in this year's Main Event, busting out yesterday, but winning $36,626. He rivered a flush, but his opponent rivered a full house to knock him out. Tony now has his own profile page!
"It was certainly disappointing when I got knocked out, but after an hour or so to process it and take a few looks at the check - I was OK.
I would expect that you will see me on TV a few times starting with Day 3 coverage. The big Day 3 event was when I knocked LA Laker Jordan Farmar out of the tournament.
Day 5 was also big as I spent a big part of the day sitting with Dan Harrington. I was also at the secondary feature table that evening and played a couple of hands with Antonio 'The Magician' Esfandiari.
All in all it was a great ride with many great memories."

I first met Tony two years ago when we were at the same table during the St. X tourney. We both ended up making the final table. I have since played with Tony at least 4 other times, including twice at his house. Tony lives in Maineville, just a mile from where I went to elementary school K-6.
(Note: You most likely will not find Tony in this picture, but IlliniFan should recognize at least 2 people, and I''m not counting Brad Garrett's girlfriend Isabella. I like her free flowin attitude!)
