Scoop / Updates
So I just read Foucaults post about the SCOOP and thought I'd add what I'll be playing as a "tourney donk" (F U Andrew!) I think Stars did an amazing job with this event and its going to be really fun (and expensive). I have been taking most of Jan and Feb off from poker after my 1k win. Its nice to win a chunk like that because I can just take some time off but I will probably start playing again soon and have a video series coming up where I will review 5 HH's in a week and release one a day. Check my forum for that. As for the SCOOP, I can't play the 1st event (500r) because it takes place the same day at the 10k at Foxwoods. I think the SCOOP might effect the 10k a little which is fine for me because its less competent online pro's playing live. Which is awesome. As for SCOOP here is my tenative schedule for it (including some of the Foxwoods overlap):

Help out a good cause (voting takes two minutes)
Hey guys,
So Virgin Atlantic is doing some promo for non-profits in Boston because they are opening up a terminal in Logan. Currently, the NPO that one of my best friends works for is in 2nd in the voting and could really use the money for a lot of good things. The program is called SPARK and they deal with at risk youth, most with serious medical issues like HIV/AIDS. Below is the blurb about it:
------
Boston Medical Center's SPARK Center offers comprehensive and state-of-the-art medical care and services for Boston's highest at-risk children: those living with complicated medical conditions (including HIV/AIDS, failure-to-thrive, and neuro-developmental challenges.). SPARK focuses on those children most-in-need and often living in poverty, including very low birth weight' babies as well as children who are involved with the Department of Social Services due to significant family and social concerns (including child abuse and neglect, domestic violence, adult substance abuse).To find out more or contribute directly, visit our website.

Anyway, here is the link:

Go there and you will see "login or register" at the top and once you are registered just go to here:
After you are logged in or registered you will see a little plane next to the Spark center logo with "vote" under it. Click on that and you are done. Thanks guys.
