Yup...a month and a half since my last post!

I keep trying to get my blog going, but every time I do I run into who knows what. I have been so busy lately that I have played poker once since my last blog, and before that time...it had been weeks! But hopeful now things will start to slow down. I am a coach, and my season just ended. It was an awesome season. We finished with an impeccable record.



So what's been going on in poker?



My buddy Shaunbusted got his cash game league started up. It is a pretty freakin' sweet concept. Here are the basics:

• 9 teams- teams made up of 2 to 5 players


• each team buys into the league for X dollars


• each team is then given a 1,000,000 bankroll (play money obviously)


• the teams face off from week to week and their losses and profits are tracked by the "banker"


• if a team depletes its 1,000,000 they are out of the league!


• at the end of X number of weeks (I think its 8) whichever team has the largest bankroll wins it all- and they claim the cash prize (real money)

I couldn't play this season, for various reasons...the main one being my coaching was still in season. But I have been talked to shaunbusted about it. It seems like a pretty cool format. Each night a team can buy in for a minimum of 25,000 or a max of 100,000. If they get felted they can re-load as many times as they want (as long as they have money in the "bank"). Busted went out and got stacks of fake 100 dollar bills, and made some 10,000 dollar bricks. So when you see the photos it looks like you are watching High Stakes Poker.

Busted and I have been talking about what works well and what might need to be tweaked. I can't wait for season II. I am trying to get some other poker games in the mix if I can. I'd love to play some 7 stud (hi or O8) and some Omaha O8. We will see!

I said earlier that I played once since my last post- here is my update: I bubbled.

Not bad. I was glad to get to the final table...especially considering how little I had played leading up to that point, But I really wanted to at least cash. I think I played pretty good. I did manage to loose all my races for the night. To make things worse, I folded once where I knew I was racing (for almost half my chips) had I called I would have actually won. Oh well, I was just glad to have a pretty good showing!

This weekend I will not be playing any cards. I will be heading to God's Country, also known as Athens Georgia, to watch my Georgia Bulldogs take on the Kentucky Wildcats for our last home game of the season.

GO DAWGS!!
