First off, BIG thanks to PartyPoker. They ran a twitter contest the other day, and I was one of 10 winners. It was only for a PartyPoker sticker patch, but that saves me having to buy one at the upcoming Red Hot Poker Tour Tournament Of Champions 24 on Sept 15th. They have more contests coming up, so if you are on Twitter and don't follow @PartyPoker I suggest you do to win some great PP gear.
RHPT ToC 24
Like I mentioned this is coming up in the next 2.5 weeks, and sadly this is my final East Region ToC for the Red Hot Poker Tour. This will be my 5th ToC and I am hoping to improve on last years 52nd place finish and ultimately finish higher than my best finish of 39th I got in my first ToC. It will be sad but as I am moving out west to Alberta, I hope to play in the RHPT out there.
Poker is a Skill Game
You heard me right, and if you don't agree your quite crazy, or a Republican.....This week a federal judge ruled that poker is more of a skill game than luck. (Article Here) I could not agree MORE. So of course the interwebs have been a flutter with analysis and blogs about the ruling. The one I agree with the most is this one by attorney Maurice VerStandig. As soon as I read the ruling everyone of these thoughts entered my head. So I won't repeat it. Just read please. I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
Moving.....
So yes, I am picking up my poker roots (actually I am moving out west for better work and money. Ontario sucks). That means better Casino's and games. Calgary has a slew of Casino's with poker games ranging from $1/$2-$25/$50 NLH to $5/$10 PLO in the Casino, so I can brush up on my games, build a bank roll slowly and maybe make it to the WSOP in the next couple years. If not maybe I'll hound PartyPoker to sponsor me in a couple small events.....lol
That's it for now. Gonna grind away tonight at Molly Blooms in Kitchener at RHPT to get more points and hopefully get a better table at ToC.
