Bodog has put out a new graphic novel…

Lets put it this way, finishing 6th place should make me feel good, but
it doesn’t. I hate 6th place. Its what I did a the APL National
Championships in 06 when I had a shot of a WSOP seat.

It gets so frustrating when I just didn’t get any cards at all.

I sent HH’s to Smokkee and after explaining two hands, he came back
with ‘Makes sense to me.” He didn’t get to Final Table hands but most
of them are logical.

It pains me to get so close again and come away empty handed.

But maybe this temporary disappointment is just a speed bump to success. I just have to wait my turn.

Because great things are coming. I just have to wait for them.

However I wish I could have reached the Brass ring. Better luck next time.

BIG Boss in town and I’m going to pick him up in 7 hours. Night all
I bubble (1 away from the $) and more fun..

Point totals Courtesy of http://www.bodogbloggertournament.com/ 

Still 18.11 points ahead of 19th place but tonight is where the rubber meets the road.

SO IM’s going to be off, everything I’ve got is going to be focusing on this one tourney.  Because there is one place I want to end up…

The 2008 WSOP

Yup, it would be incredible to tell the boss and crew that I had to leave and go participate in the 2008 WSOP.  I’d be surrounded by the crack team from PokerNews, Poker Pages and the ONLY place to get coverage of the stories behind the WSOP is Tao of Poker.

But I have to point to get in.  I need points to lock myself in.  WHY?

The 2008 World Series of Poker is the most anticipated poker event of the year, and poker players who qualify through Bodog Poker can expect to be offered a lot more than just a seat at a table. Just like last year, every member of Team Bodog going to the WSOP will also receive exclusive VIP treatment.

Qualify with Bodog and experience the difference of being part of an exclusive roster with dedicated Team Handlers, beautiful Bodog Girls and the best looking gear in the business.

Bodog Poker is guaranteeing at least three $12,000 Main Event Prize Packages weekly through its “Main Event Semifinal” tournaments, held every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

With qualifiers starting at as little as a $1 or 100 PTS you can earn your way in cheap, or if you?ve got the money you can also buy-in directly to the Main Event Semifinals for $250 + $20.

Find out more about how you can don the black and red and compete at the 2008 WSOP for millions as a member of the slickest outfit in Vegas.

Bodog is proud to host the Bodog Poker Blogger Tournament Series Start Time 8:05 pm CT.
where poker bloggers worldwide are gathering each Tuesday in the Bodog Poker Room to earn points for a spot in the final tournament. The winner of the TOC will receive a once in a lifetime opportunity to win a $12,000 WSOP* prize package and be a part of Team Bodog 2008.

It’s too late to register, it’s down to the final tournament.  Smokkee has got a $270 bounty on his ass.  So donk away your chips chasing it.  I’m serious. Please try to take him out, especially all of you guys from 19th – 30th.

I mean I am the Phil Mickelson of Poker Bloggers.  I might as well try to win or take second again   I took second three weeks ago , last week I flamed out early because I didn’t focus and realize that the World’s Tightest Player had the Nut Boat! 

I just want to win enough points and qualify for the final tourney.

Why? So I can get this donkey off my back!!  What better tournament to win than the big one at the end?

The Random Number Generator was busy tonight placing me against Gcox.  And suck it did.

My first Blogger Gigli and it came at the complete wrong time.

Not doing a thing.  I have a feeling Keegan is getting into a sword fight tonight.

More when I care.

I have to be cryptic sometimes while I am working on several different project.  There are things in this world that I don’t want anyone to know.  For public reasons, for personal reasons and so I don’t get fired.  Also I don’t want to jinx some things that are great that are going on.

So on these issues I beg your forgiveness.

More Instant Sean coming tonight for the BODONK!

I’m top 10 still but I have to hold my place or win it.

You’re either first place or…. you’re …

Well, you get the message

So the AC in my office has “let out the magic smoke” and died, so my office was a sauna of 88 degrees yesterday afternoon.  So I am awaiting the new one to be installed. Especially when the real heat of the summer hasn’t started yet.

Today I am eagerly awaiting news on Project Z, which is something that I’ve waited seven years for.  But I sent the correct information and e-mails, and all I can do is wait.

I can’t wait until the beginning of Football Season.  CLEVELAND vs. DALLAS!

GO BROWNIES!

I’ve been enjoying going to the house and getting stuff accomplished but that leaves tonight for me to be left alone.

Because it’s the BODONKEY!

But you might be asking how do I get there?

Real easy.  Join us at the Bodog Blogger Tournament.

Start Time 8:05 pm CT.

Bodog is proud to host the Bodog Poker Blogger Tournament Series where poker bloggers worldwide are gathering each Tuesday in the Bodog Poker Room to earn points for a spot in the final tournament.

Sheesh, check out our friend Nadia’s page at http://www.bodogbloggertournament.com and you too can find out how you can find your way to the WSOP!

To register, players are required to go to http://www.bodoglife.com/promotions/poker/blogger-tournament and sign in with their Bodog account information in the upper right hand corner. Once this is completed, they must then click on “REGISTER NOW” to register themselves into the tournament series. Bloggers will each have to do this once in order to play in the series. Once this is done, they then need to find the “Online Poker Blogger Tournament” in the software and register as they normally would each and every week.

Right Now I am #9.  But the cool thing is that with 5 tourneys left, ANYONE can find their way into the top 18.  I’m only 50 points out of the top 5.  I guarantee that I won’t be doing anything but playing the Bodonkey today.  I’ve set aside EVERYTHING to get those points that keep me in the top 18.

I mean I am the Phil Mickelson of Poker Bloggers.  I might as well try to win or take second again   I took Second last week, this week may be the week I finally break through.  Hell, I could be like Sergio Garcia.  He won a “Major” last Sunday. DAMMIT, Its MY TURN!

See you at the Bodonk!
