Sort of an interesting week this week. We have 19 of our 30 tournaments that are tracked down from last week's numbers, however, most of those took place around the US Thanksgiving holiday. Next week will be a good measure of where we are at overall. This week also marked the first week of a combined AP/UB server which saw a huge increase in the 200k which offered no overlay. I am unsure of how I will go on with tracking these two but will likely keep them as they currently are tracked.

Won another 12k WPT sat tonight, that makes 2 in a few months along with a PCA win. For some reason I do well in winner take all formats, likely because I always play like it is WTA (to a fault sometimes). In addition to that my friend ZBThorton took down the FTP $1k tonight for $87k and through a few circumstances won me a big PS3 bundle. So double ship it. I've been feeling pretty good overall about my game lately and did a video today with 4 tables in the early stages of tournies, made a few errors here and there but overall I think it is decent. Will be out this week I'm sure.

This week marked a not so surprising drop in field sizes post-FTOPS. The 30 tracked tournaments we down a total of 6.48% this week. I fully expect an upward trend to take back over again this week as from looking at past FTOPS the biggest drop seems to come right after, as people take breaks and what not. The PFI (look at last post for explanation) is up 0.54% from last week, however, I expect this to be skewed for a few weeks due to FTOPS numbers.

Hey guys,
I've started tracking poker field sizes in 28 key high buyin tournaments and have created a system for tracking them. As my data gets more inclusive I plan on adding new stats, and formulas.

Hey all,
I've had a mildly eventful couple of days so I thought I'd make an entry in here. First off, I've been sick as a dog again for the past week. I dont know whats wrong with my immune system lately but its getting really really old. I've been sick so much lately since I got over mono. Unfortunately my latest symptoms look a lot like a relapse of mono so I'm hopeful that this isnt the case as that would pretty much suck.

Had an absolutely abysmal start to my day tonight and was into the Stars 100r for a crap ton and then got bad beat a few times during the rebuy period of $300r FTOPS. I ended up building a stack in that though before eventually bubbling in a pot for a top 15 stack with 140 left. QQ < 76ss on a Qx6ss board. Allin on the flop, instabinked the spade on the turn. I salvaged the day though with a win in the Stars $100 freezeout at 19:00.

Mike is 1/10 going to the FT of the WPT 10k @ Foxwoods. 1st is $1.1m! David Pham and Jon Little (FieryJustice on 2p2) are both at the FT as well. GL all.

Foxwoods 10k trip report.

Out. What a terrible day at a terrible place. Woke up at noon in MGM (which is awesome compared to the shit hole that is everywhere else in Foxwoods) and got to my table like 40 minutes late. On a side note, every time I come here I get a little lost finding the Sunset Ballroom, mainly because if you end up going one way you are never allowed to loop around. Anyhoo, to poker.

This wont be long but YESSSS!

I am off to Foxwoods tomorrow for their $10k event on Weds or Thurs (depending which Day 1 I want). I will check in with some updates from there, I am currently going to be watching the election tomorrow with some 2p2'ers and hopefully celebrating an Obama romp.

I wrote this for my other non-poker blog a few days ago about the election....
