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):
