Terrific Tuesday!

Double whammy!!!

Sean played two MTT's on Absolute Poker Tuesday night while out of town for work and won both of them. The first win was a $5 mtt with 250 players good for $284 in winnings. The second one was the nightly $3 rebuy that had 730 players in it. This victory was a nice one for $1,840. This is his 6th $3 rebuy win in alittle over 12 months.

Sean cashes in HUGE online tourney!

Sean finishes in the money of the of FTOPS Main Event that had a $2.645 million prize pool. The buy-in was $535, but Sean won his seat for $31 in a satellite. He finished 256th out of 5,291 players for $1,375.66. He got to as low a 1.5 bb's 3 hours into play, then grinded all the way back to play for about 2.5 more hours.

Unfortunately, the races were lost late in play when AK vs. 99 and AK vs. 66.

First place was in excess of $444,000. Damn!

Poker Bling and AIPS Tourneys on Full Tilt

Have you ever wanted some poker bling to intimidate your opponents at the poker table? Well now is your chance. You could buy one but it would feel so much better if you won one from PokerBling.com's weekly tourney on Full Tilt. The tourney runs most Tuesdays at 9PM EST. This is a $10+1 Knockout Tourney. It is usually a small field of players. Go to their site for more information. You will probably see All In Reed or OutlawJesco playing in these when available.

Another great tournament series is the Ante Up! AIPS events. This is a year long set of tournaments with a mix of all the games we love to play. If any of you guys have not checked out Ante Up (2007 Best Poker Podcast, Bluff Magazine Readers Choice Awards) then you don't know what you're missing. Make it your goal this month to start listening to these guys. There are more than 138 episodes of poker info, tips and interviews with top poker professionals. Start by listening to the current episodes and then go back and listen from the beginning. Reed and I have been listening to these guys for almost two years.

Good luck and we'll see you at the tables.

Poker's own version of MySpace/Facebook

After an episode of Ante Up, Sean and I became aware of a new social network for poker players. Check out PokerPlayersSocialNetwork. It is full of pros and joes.

Also, ReedPoker has added a new feature to make signing up for Home games much easier. In the right column under SIGN UP you can select from the live game list and it will open an prepared email that goes directly to us.
