A Future Poker Star is Born!
Poker is great, but nothing compares to witnessing the birth of your first child. I see it's been quite some time since my last post, as you can imagine I've been pretty busy with the prep leading up to my daughter being born on June 15, 2009. She is now 13 days old and is super adorable, healthy and awesome in every way. I can't wait to not only spoil her (as I'm doing already), but to teach her some cards real soon - the earlier the start the better!

Tourney Cash
Last night I placed second in a home tourney of 18 players. It had been a while since I played one of these so of course taking home 6x my buy-in was nice. Nothing too spectacular about this one.
The way I busted was this: Blinds were 1000 / 2000 with 300 ante, I was holding roughly 50,000 and my opponent 40,000. He raised pre-flop I called with my 10-J. Flop comes out Jx 4s 6s and I go all-in, he calls and shows Q-Q which hold. Down to about 10,000. I look down at 8h-9h and call, he puts me all-in and I call. Flop comes out 5 8 9 rainbow with his A-5, and naturally the turn is another 5 and that holds. No regrets here, happy with the way I played throughout the tourney.
