Sitting 58th of the 81 left for day 3. Just seen my table draw and it's decent for the remaining field. However, there isn't a lot of chips on it as I'm sitting in second. The plan is to make it through day 3 to day 4. 1pm Cali time start.

GL sir, heading down to the V soon myself for some live grind.

Get it b!

Got a text from Blake a little earlier that he finished 37th, good run.

Nice job Blake, GG

Great showing Blake! Your win is coming

gg blake

Thanks guys, appreciate it but obviously bittersweet. The last hand was a semi-marginal spot but I'm fine with the play. The cash was for 13k and Cali decides to impose a 7% state tax. I'm told I am able to get this back by going through my accountant, so I'll put the burden on me. I decided to go back to Vegas tomorrow instead of playing the 1k's here. A couple Venetian prelims before the V main.

you're a sicko blake

=) thanks amigos!


I'm adding today's Venetian prelim to the schedule, a $350. Getting ready to head down for the day. A $350 Thu, $560 Fri and ends with the $2500 V Main.

Total Buy-Ins: $5925 + $5000 = $10,925
Cashes: $2413 + $1419 + $3659 + $19,691 + $13,000 = $40,182

Long days! Made it itm again, then took 16th of 269 players for $973.

Early it went well where I was basically just running the streets, building the stack. Towards the bubble it went very dry and I just skated along the short stack for a long time until busting. A run down of the stack:

Start 12k
100 level- 12k
150 - 14k
200 - 15k
200ante - 18.5k
300 - 22k
400 - 24.5k
600 - 44k
800 - 54k
1k - 65k
1200 - 52k
1600 - 50k
2k - 38.5k
2400 - 52.5k
3k - 57k
4k - 80k
5k - OUT


Total Buy-Ins: $10,925 + $350 = $11,275
Cashes: $2413 + $1419 + $3659 + $19,691 + $13,000 + $973 = $41,155

Getting ready for today's V event.

Made a run at it today, then lost a big pot in the 1k level and out in the 1600 level. About 65th of 346 runners.

Start 12k
100 level- 12.5k
150 - 13.7k
200 - 42.5k - AA>KQ J104 flop.
200ante - 38k
300 - 36.5k
400 - 42k
600 - 45k
800 - 51.5k
1k - 24k - lost a 70k pot, all in on a AJ9ccc flop with 56cc vs A9.
1200 - 37.2k
1600 - OUT, AQ<KK aipf


Total Buy-Ins: $11,275 + $350 = $11,625
Cashes: $2413 + $1419 + $3659 + $19,691 + $13,000 + $973 = $41,155

Good run Blake, let's finish this package with a win!

Cheers

Ya Thinky, the plan is to bink the main! Thanks.

The last prelim is today, a $560. Heading out soon.

Basically bubbled when a guy spite called me with 44 because he 'couldn't keep raise folding'......=/ slightly tilted.....32nd of 280. Leaving it at that, day off tmrw, main Sunday.

gl in the main blake

thanks getty glgl today

Getting ready to head down, Venetian Main.

Today was one of my most tilt-inducing live sessions ever. Practically everything went wrong. A 45k pot at the 150 level with top set vs two draws, neither nut except a gutty and river hits both. Ship the main one way and the side pot the other. Down to 7k before hitting back to back hands, one with a river call 99>AJhi then next with river nut straight after back dooring the flush draw and barreling to an all in, 22k 200 level. Then it went sick where no matter what I did, I lost....all the way to 12k 300 level. An older complete fish who was opening a lot and calling everything then took the next half. He opened to 650 with <6k stack that was 35k when he was moved to the table. I looked at JJ in the cut off and over raised to 2500 as felt right due to the situation. He flats almost instantly and jams an A62ddd flop, I have JJ no d but feel I have to call as he could show up with any d. I call, he flips over A8o nh. To 6k and I 3 bet jam a couple hands later with 77<AKs to go out. Fun game.


Ending #s:
Total Buy-Ins: $11,625 + $560 + $2510 = $14,695
Cashes: $2413 + $1419 + $3659 + $19,691 + $13,000 + $973 = $41,155

Package Value:
($16000-$14695)1.25 + $41,155 = $42,786.25

I will confirm the numbers and work on payouts tomorrow. I have talked with each of the investors except one. Overall I'm pleased with the results though not satisfied without the W's. I feel I've been playing some of my best poker but there are still a bunch of spots for me to improve. It's still an enjoyable game for me although rough at times, such is life. That's it for now and I'll be confirming everything with investors and getting everyone paid asap. Thanks again all for all of the support. GLGL on the tables.

Awesome job Blake! Enjoyed railing and learning a thing or two along the way

Thanks Tony! Enjoyed having you on the rail a bit so I could vent about how bad everyone plays to someone! Haha.


I verified all of the numbers and they match to my records. If anyone notices any errors with anything, please let me know.

The final package value is $42,786.25. Share value = $427.8625
