Hi Everyone,

If you are reading this you probably purchased my Venetian/Aria/Wsop 4 Tourney Package. Thank you to all my investors! Posting this now as my first tourney, the $1500 PLO, is tomorrow at noon. I then have a week off from play and start back up again on the 19th, 23rd, and 25th. Below is a screen shot of the tournies I am going to be playing. If you are around the Rio and feel like saying hi shoot me a message either on Twitter or PM me, always up for meeting new people.

Hey Guys,

Just got home and got some food in me. Hopefully you guys followed my updates on twitter. I really enjoyed my time in the $1500 PLO Event #22. Unfortunately I busted out about an hour or so before dinner break during level 5 (150/300 Blinds) with a 5300 Stack. I was in the bb for 300 and MP guy made it 600 to go and aggro guy in the HJ called and I completed in bb with JT69ss no clubs. Flop came down TT7cc, I checked, original raiser checked to aggro guy who bet 950 into a pot of 1950. At this point I had a 5K stack and the pot is now 2900 giving me an SPR of around 1.75. I decided to just end the hand right there and ship my stack, most of the time getting a fold in this spot imo or not be in too horrible of shape. Unfortunately he had KJT4ds no flush draw. I bricked my gutter draw and boat outs and was out in about 400th-410th place.

The tourney started you off with 1500 chips and two lamers worth 1500 a piece which you had to use before the end of level 4. I decided to start off with 4500 right off the bat as did 4 other players at my table. The table was pretty solid at plo minus 3 players (2 of them being older 50+ guys). For the 6 hours I played the best hands I got were AQQTr and AKKr which I received UTG and J987ds which if you play plo that is pretty measly for about 5 or 6 hours of play. The structure was pretty good, just could've been slightly larger starting stacks, maybe 2K plus two 2K addons. Definitely would've allowed for a bit more room and play. All said and done though I would definitely play this again.

Fortunately I'm not done yet, only 1 of 4 tournies played. Three more to make some magic happen. Feeling good and can't wait for this week to pass and get right back into action.

Thx to all those who invested and who are following the action. I'll keep updating via Twitter during the tournies and then add some extra thoughts at the end of the tourney day in the rail thread.

gl today.

Thanks! Already registered and just waiting around. Looks like the tournament area is across from the poker room just in case anyone is around and wants to say hi

I'll be updating my twitter during breaks and when I have a chance. As soon as I take my seat I'll post the receipt and chip stack

Talk to you guys in awhile.

Phil

So if you guys saw my twitter. I went out very first hand AA59ss to the 9 vs KKT9ss preflop allin 15k starting stack. Happens wouldn't change a thing other than winning the hand

Hey Guys,

Nothing new to report really. Just wanted to pop in and say my next tourney is the 1K wsop on Sunday the 23rd. Sucks about today's tourney, but after getting 3bet and given the opportunity to get stacks in with AA59 I'd do it again if I was given the chance regardless of the result. This one didn't phase me the least bit. Back at it Sunday

I updated the google docs sheet and will talk to you guys again this Sunday

-Phil

Hey Everyone,

I updated the google docs sheet to reflect yesterday's tourney. Unfortunately I busted in about 490th place of 2100 runner. About 220 people got paid I believe.

Hopefully my twitter updates were good enough to provide you guys a sweat. I busted about 50 minutes after dinner break with 77 on a 2300 stack at 150/300 blinds 25 ante. Aggro kid made it 850 UTG+1 and I shipped my 7s and he pretty much had to call with his J4o. I spiked a 7 on the flop but it ran out a 4 card straight for him.

My first table draw was pretty rough as I had at least 4 or 5 pretty competent young players on my table including djk123 (although he came in short and busted relatively quickly). Regardless though I was trying to pick my spots and I felt great. Lost a decent size pot pre with AQ vs 88, but grinded the stack back up a bit and was relatively card dead the entire tourney. I was still able to float between 2700 and 4900 chips the entire time, but just couldn't get anything going when I needed to.

The next one is Tuesday $600 PLO at Vebetian at 11am. I'll be updating my twitter once again, and hope to bink my last one

Phil

Hey everyone,
Just left Venetian poker room, unfortunately the 11am I was going to play was a limit Omaha hi only tourney and only had 7 entrants currently.

Makes no sense for me to play, would be a waste of all of money. Please let me know either via PM, this thread, or twitter if you would like me to choose another tourney to play in the same price range or if you would like a refund.

Let me know and I can work it out anyway you would like.

Phil

If you guys are interested I could also play three Rio 3pm dailies at $235 a piece ($705 total). Since I had $600 left to play I'd just front the extra $105 needed to play those and just give you guys the same percentage you already have in all three since this was my mistake.

Let me know as that is a possibility or some other $600ish tourney coming up in the near future. I'll wait to get some responses from everyone before we make a decision as to what everyone wants. The dailies might be the best option as it'll give us three more try's to turn a profit. Played one yesterday and busted like 20 from the money, was pretty soft IMO.

Thanks.

Phil

Im Fine with any possible Solution, you can Play any Other Tourney of similar Buy in, or a Cashgame Session with 600 USD, i dont really mind.

Thanks for the reply. I'll wait a day or two until I receive a few more responses from those who haven't replied yet. After that I'll post in this thread and on twitter as to what I'll be playing. I'll do my best to find the best value and bang for our buck.

Appreciate your guys's patience and understanding in this matter.

Phil

I'm cool with you playing Rio dailies. What's the prize pool usually?

Thx for the reply. I played one on Monday I believe and it got like 1120 runners and was 44k for first, min cash at 117 players for 400ish dollars. From researching around it looks like that's about average for the daily. Weekends probably draw a bigger crowd.

I'll let you guys know tomorrow, but I'll probably do that unless something else catches my eye.

Phil

Play the dailies. When ya planning on playing em?

Thx for the reply Cougars
So here is what I am planning:

I'll play 3 dailies at the rio for $235 a piece ($705 cost). I have $600 left from the investments, so I'll add the extra $105 so I can play 3 of them and you guys will still have your same percentage in all 3 for any cash I make. Hope that works for everyone, if there any last minute objections let me know and I'll respond pretty quickly in this thread.

I plan on playing all 3 by next Friday. I'll let everyone know in this thread and twitter prior to playing each one so you guys can sweat me if interested

Phil

Hey Everyone,

I'll be playing my first of three dailies either today or tomorrow. I'll let you guys know which I decide a little layer today.

Thanks

Phil

I decided to play the first 3pm daily tomorrow. Will tweet updates, stack, and registration ticket tomorrow

Talk to you guys then.

Hey guys,

My buddy is free rolling me into a Venetian deep stack today so I have to play that. I'll get those 3 dailies in soon. Will play one within the next couple days. Sorry for the hassle.

Thanks!

Phil

Hey guys,

Playing my first $235 daily at the rio today. Per the wsop twitter and Kevmath looks like it's being moved from 3pm to 6pm. So I'll be updating via twitter sometime after 6pm

Phil

Just wanted to make sure for anyone who didn't follow my twitter. Played the $235 Deepstack yesterday which got moved to 6pm, I lasted till around 10pm and busted a short stack with AJhh vs 99 and TT. I whiffed and was out.

The big hand that crippled me was 8Tcc, I raised a MP limper from the CO and we saw a flop of K79cc. We ended up getting stacks in and she surprisingly showed AKhh and I bricked out. That got me down to a short stack and I grinder it out till my bust out hand.

Will play my 2nd either Sunday or Monday, will keep you guys posted.

Thanks!

Phil

Hey guys,

FYI for anyone playing the deep stacks at the rio today. The $235 got pushed to 6pm again and I think the $185 got cancelled.

I'll be playing my 2nd $235 daily tomorrow which also looks like it'll be at 6pm due to the satellites and the ME.

Will update tomorrow with stack and pic of registration receipt via twitter.

Phil

So I busted today's 6pm $235 rio daily about 3.5 hours in. Never got any traction and then lost a size able pot thinking I was ahead. I worked a 1.1k stack back up to 5K but later busted at 300/600 blinds with KThh which ran into A9o.

I have one more $235 Deepstack to play and it will be sometime this week. Will keep you guys posted as to the day.

Phil

Looks like I'll be playing my last $235 Deepstack daily on Friday. Will keep you guys updated via twitter on that day

Hey Guys,

Just in case you weren't following twitter. I went out in a bit of brutal fashion with 15 left to go to hit the money. I had about 68K with AKo in the CO and UTG min raised to 12K, another guy flatted 12K and I shipped for 68K. UTG called with AQo so the pot was around 170K or so with the blinds and antes. Unfortunately a queen hit the flop otherwise I wouldve had a pretty good stack to do some damage.

Sorry I couldn't get a cash on this package. I thank you all for investing and believing in me. Wish the result could have been different. I wish you guys the best and good luck I had a blast nonetheless and couldn't have done it without your support.

Phil
