Figured 5 years into my online poker career I'd finally get a blog going and LeggoPoker seems like a greatt spot to do so. I've always enjoyed reading the blog's of poker players so hopefully I can keep things fairly interesting. I play poker full time since graduating from University in December 07 and play mostly on Pokerstars under the screen name Dogg11 at limits 5/10 10/20 and 25/50. Pokerwise January was a great month and pretty close to my best ever. Definitely ran well in terms of a lot of the standard hands/coolers going my way. A month where everything in poker was going great and the total opposite of how February has started. Sick game. I should note that the hand sample below is missing about 10k hands in which i lost about 10k from my my laptop.
I'm heading to Copenhagen, Denmark this weekend to play the EPT event which I'm super pumped for. I havn't played live in a while and I really love live tournaments, although I can't stand live cash games. Funny since that's the total opposite of what I enjoy playing online. If anyone is gonna be in Copenhagen and wants to meet up for dinner/drinks/whatever give me a shout.
I lived in Australia from September until Christmas time so I played in 3 Asian/Pacific Poker tournaments which were quite fun. I bubbled the final table in Auckland New Zealand which was kinda dissapointing since it was such a soft event and I could've made things happen at the final table. I had a good run in Sydney at the APPT "Grand Final", (btw any championship game or event is known as a Grand Final in Australia), I think I had a top 5 stack with 75 players left but then took a couple tough beats/coolers and finished two from the money or something gay. So hopefully things go well and I have a nice run in Copenhagen. I plan to play the final 4 EPT events of the year as well, more so just to travel and to have fun but it's also nice ot have the poker tournaments as an excuse to make the trip.
Since getting back from Australia I've made the move to downtown Toronto so If there are any Leggo members in the area give me a shout.
