Home Game Friendly

I held a home game recently at the Camp with three friends, a four way SNG. But with a catch. Since it was almost Christmas and everybody was low on cash, we played for a different incentive: MAGIC SING. mwehehehehehe. Winner doesn't have to sing squat, second sings one song, third sings two songs, fourth sings three songs. Who says that only money can make us play seriously?! It was intense, nobody wanted to experience the shame of singing in front of laughing friends. I am proud to say I took the game down against two newbies and one average player. Seeing them make a fool out of themselves was just as good as winning cash... maybe... err now that I think of it... hahaha. Money can't buy happiness? Gah, greed is such a motivating force. I think money can't buy happiness literally, but I believe having money can give you more opportunities to be happy. Gotta love our capitalistic society!

The Unforgettable

It was the first time in that I would go to a casino to play a NLHE tourney. It sure was an experience to remember, I'm extremely glad and thankful that I was given the opportunity to participate the Airport Casino's First Texas Hold'em Tournament, the last blast before the new year.

They did save the best for last...

The Airport Tourney was the grand finale for this year. The main highlight of the event was the speech given by Mr. Nick Galan who shared a short anecdote on how much work was done to make things what they are now today! The wonderful people of PAGCOR did a great job with the dealers, tourney set-up and importantly giving poker a home here in the Philippines (and we know it's just going to get better folks.)

The grand finale had 115 players, a prize pot of 575,000 pesos, 15 standard poker tables...making it the biggest tourney before the year ends and Casino Filipino opened their first cardroom located at the 2nd floor of the airport casino.

Did I mention the chips? The chips were exclusively made only for poker use (if i'm not mistaken) It reminded me of the paulson chips...*drool*

Thanks to Tito Nick and FutureBet Asia for giving us the chance to participate in the event. Visit fbapoker.com for more information about FutureBet Asia.

G'bye '05... Hello '06!

Looking back at the past year makes you want to re-live some moments and forget some unfortunate events. I don't know what it is with the new year but I'm feeling a good vibe this coming '06 (glad that '05 is completely over) It's like what my mom told me "New year, new life!". Thanks '05 for givin' me a good one.

My New Year's Resolutions:

1) Study harder...
2) Play more poker...

Where the party at?!?! Let's start the year with a BANG!!!

CHEERS!

Long Time, No Blog

Funny, it took me about a hour to start writing this post...

It was difficult to blog somethin down when I haven't been playing cards. Last game I had was the tong-its game with Grouch and Tilter, (After playing a 3 handed limit freeze-out...closest thing to NLHE)

I guess what I'm trying to say it...Poker is the fuel of this blog (and also the other blogs if im not mistaken ;)) and without the game, this blog would not have existed.

Now, School is the grind. Time to sacrifice table time for library time (ugh.) I can't wait to to get to the REAL grind. Been itching for some rings but....

THANKS to the X-mas season, I'm broke bloke. No roll... :( That sucks.
Finally... a post?
