We’re a couple hours from the start of Day 4 of the 2007 $10,000 World Series of Poker Main Event, and Jason Heidema is still doing great. As I’ve been doing the past couple days, I’ll continue providing real-time updates of his progress (at least as real-time as he’ll give them to me).
While the […]
This is a continuation of the thread about Jason Heidema, my good friend who is getting ready to start Day 3 of the $10,000 World Series of Poker Main Event. Here’s how things currently stand (based on my calculations, so take it for what it’s worth):
After completion of Day 2 for all players, there […]
Follow-up on Jason Heidema, a good friend of mine playing in the $10,000 WSOP Main Event…
Jason started Day 2a (there are two second days — Day 2a and Day 2b) with around $72,000 in chips. Much like the first day, the second day turned out to be quite a roller coaster. Here’s a […]
As mentioned previously, my good friend Jason is playing in this year’s $10,000 World Series of Poker Main Event. He played day 1 — along with 1500 other people — last Friday.
After a roller-coaster first day — roller-coaster for both of us, as I was getting the updates every two hours — he finished […]
In my last post, I wrote about Expected Value and how it pertained to making decisions in poker. After writing that summary in response to a question on one of Microsoft’s email distribution lists, a friend of mine from Tellme sent a tremendously insightful follow-up geared towards more advanced players who might use EV […]
I know that there are a lot of friends and aquaintances of mine who read this blog and are very interested in poker. And, as mentioned earlier, the Microsoft poker distribution list has some very good discussions about poker strategy and related topics.
While I don’t want to post other people’s comments […]
One of the nice surprises about being back at Microsoft is the sheer number of poker enthusiasts at the company, and level of knowledge they possess. When I left back in 2004, there was no company-wide email distribution list specifically to discuss poker. Today, there are at least a half-dozen different lists, and […]
After some good play and a cash on Saturday, I was excited to play again on Sunday. Unfortunately, the Venetian event on Saturday went late, so I didn’t get as much sleep as I had anticipated. Regardless, I was up at 10am on Sunday, and headed down to the Amazon room in the […]
The streak is finally broken!
After missing the money in yesterday’s $2000 no-limit WSOP event, I played and cashed in a non-WSOP event today at the Venetian. As I mentioned in a previous post, the Venetian is running some great events ($10,000 in starting chips, hour rounds), and I decided that despite […]
After winning the $2500 Bellagio Cup III no-limit event, my best friend was back in strong form today for the the $2000 no-limit WSOP event.
The event started with just over 1600 people at noon on Friday, and was down to the final 153 at 1:30am Saturday morning. Ezra and the other 152 […]
