Poker Sunday

Played a bunch of poker yesterday this weekend, and I think its safe to say that I ran pretty good. Originally had to referee a few basketball games in the evening, so didn't load up/try to satellite into any of the big Sunday tournaments. It turns out the games were canceled as the motor for the basketball net wasn't working (or something). So instead, I grinded out the double-or-nothing turbo Sit and Gos on Stars, and was up about 15http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif BI by the end of the night. Could've been up a bit more but can't really complain. Other than that, also grinded out a few steps tournaments and I have a few step 3s and 4s tickets in my bank, so hopefully I'll be able to grind out a PCA tournament seat or something soon.

Nothing really new other than that - won't get to play much the next week or two as midterms/papers are really starting to swarm in...and hopefully will confirm and book my flight out to Vegas for a few days in mid-November. Still debating whether or not to head out to BC to play the British Columbia Poker Championship..probably not but we'll see.

Last Friday - went to the Sabres vs. Canucks game in Buffalo with Adam Schwartz (2p2 Pokercast) and Terrence "Not Johnny" Chan. Being with 2 huge Canucks fans, obviously I had to join in - not that I'm not a hater, Canucks is actually one of my favourite-non-favourite teams. Adam had an extra Canucks retro jersey which I proudly worn, although it probably set of the alarms of all the fashion police in the area. Obviously credit card roulette is on the menu when you're out with a bunch of poker players, and with 2 asians and a white dude, the white guy was losing the roulette with 100% certainty. Betting of the game must take place, and obviously being the most non-baller guy on the 3, $300 was placed for the over of 5.5. Adam and Terrence both won a dime from the game while I got chump change of $320~. While the Canucks lost the game 5 - 2 (can't really blame them - they just played Detroit the night before and won in OT..oh..AND Luongo wasn't playing), the 3 of us were probably the happiest Canucks fan in the arena when the 6th goal was scored. A funny note occured when we were crossing the US border - the border guard decided to ask whether the 3 of us were family. Let see, a 40 y/o white dude, a 28 y/o asian dude, and a 21 y/o dude as a family...
