3rd at the TV Table

Yep I didn't get through the 6 person table, came in 3rd...I played really well with no cards...I was chip leader at the beginning and hadn't hit a pair.

Only hand that matters, blinds are 40,000/80,000 I am the big blind with 369,000 left. Button pushes all in for 269,000. Chip leader decides to call (he has 2 million in chips lol, can you tell that someone was dominating the table weee fun). I look down at A Q of spades and I push all in as well.
Flop comes K Q 6 no spades, turn is a K and the river is something that doesn't matter lol
Full house for the Button and I am out of the tournament.

BTW the button was Jim Rich the guy who won last year, he would lose 15 mins later to an internet kid in his first live tournament. The guy was good, but he picked up cards at the right time and got people to call with pretty trashy hands.

All and all in was a great experience again, come September it should be fun to see the hands.
Especially one involving me throwing away Pocket 9's and I still don't know if it was the right move or not....

TSN here I come

Degree Poker Championship 2007!
Craig is back! And once again he will be featured on the Television tables!
I made it through day one and now I will be playing my 6 man table, if I beat that, then I am once again in the finale for a chance to scoop up $100,000.

So far it's been an amazing time up at Casino Rama and everyone associated with this tournament is top notch.

Thanks for all your support, stay tuned!

If you don't remember what happened the last time I was on TV, check this out.

It's been a while

Yep I have been pretty busy with work lately so haven't really updated this site at all.

But let me tell you how things have been going in the poker world.

I have been running quite good actually, on the Red Hot Poker Tour I have had two wins and 2 seconds this season, which really doesn't mean anything since it takes 1 million points to get into the tournament of champions, but hopefully I will continue to do well.

I am going to try and satellite into the 100 seat guarantee on Full Tilt on the 16th, so hopefully that works out lol

I played in one of the red hot online events on partypoker, around 120 showed up and I took 8th place. It was the worst final table I have ever had. I get pocket queens run into pocket kings, I get pocket jacks the very next hand and this donk goes all in with A 5 and hit's and ace on the river.
Then a huge pot where I had A Q and the flop came 7 7 5 and the guy moved all in, so I threw that away. And the final hand came down like this first position raises like 3 times the big, I have A J and decide to just call (I have been doing this a lot because I find post flop I am a lot better) we get another caller in the sb or bb (can't remember) Flop comes A, 5, 2 rainbow and it goes check, check to me. I have hardly anything left and move all in, the sb calls and the raiser folds, he flips over A 2 for two pair and I am out.
In this case had I re-raised pre flop and gotten heads up with the raiser I would still be in the tournament, because I slow played, the A 2 got in for cheap and hit.

Degree Poker 2007 is at Rama, I will be there on Sunday the 24th and will be playing on the 25th (which is a Monday) The tournament should be a lot of fun, even though I wish they would give us a bit more starting chips, but that's just me.
