In Austrailia

I will be in Australia for awhile winding down after the Aussie Millions.

I just played the first PokerStars PokerNews Cup Alpine satellite series. My player id on PokerStars is wraptduck. I wanted to be involved in the satellite series but I will go to Austria and play the PokerNews Cup Alpine either way. Winning the package would be a lot of fun. There were 48 players in this satellite, it has a buy-in of $32+$3 and guarantees 2 seats to the Sunday qualifier. I busted in 20th.

A Quiet Time

I’ve spent the last 22 days in Thailand. Sometimes it’s just time to stop and take a break from everything in life that manages to overrun your ability to take the moment and think of planning for yourself. I have put up a video about health and working out in my blog before - the video is more on a humorous note but the rest of the content is addressing a serious issue we all face - but to really take the time away from the stress of life and take care of myself has been very difficult. I’m always traveling and tending to business. This time I stepped completely away from poker and have been relaxing with my family and caring for myself. (more…)
