WPT

As I type this I'm sitting in a room at Commerce Casino with my boy Jon Little. Later today we'll play day 1b of WPT Legends of Poker at The Bicycle Casino. This will be my 32nd career WPT, my first of season 9 on the World Poker tour, and the first one I've had time to play since January of 2010. They've dropped the buy-in for this one down to $5000 from $10,000 which I actually think is a good idea as far as drawing numbers.

Since I last posted I'm still not in my condo. There was a hold up with some of the paperwork, but I can now officially move in when I get back to Birmingham next week. Hopefully I'll return as a WPT champion. Other then that, I spent a week up in Virginia helping my mom pack to move back to Birmingham. I have a new respect for people in the moving business. I then drove the 26 foot Penske truck 12 hours which was an interesting experience. I've also gotten some time to hang out with my sisters the last couple of weeks which was nice. I know they're ready to get me off their couches and out of their hair now :)

I've been playing a little bit of poker too. I made some FTOPS noise by final tabling the PLHE/PLO event and finishing 6th or something. I also finished 21st in the $150 rebuy rush tournament where first paid over $200k :( I posted back to back good Sundays after one week final tabling the $100 rebuy on Stars for $24k. This past Sunday was big as I snagged both a $15,700 PCA package and an EPT London package that is worth around $12,800 in addition to final tabling the PS $500 for $17,000ish. All told, the year has been solid so far.

I've pretty much got my schedule set for the rest of the calendar year. I'll be spending 24 long days in London for the WSOPE and EPT from September 12-October 6. I hate to be gone for that long, especially during football season and especially after getting a new place, but business is business and I can't really turn down the value that will be there.
