I cashed for the third time in three attempts at the FTOPS Main Event last night.  Booya.  So far I think i’m averaging like…. $500 in profit each time.  This time I took like 598th for a solid 980 or so, which is like 180/hr UNTIL you take off the 535 buyin, and then you’re left with like 60/hr.  Which sucks.  The good news is that I diddled around on some 5/10 FR tables and crushed so I ended up winning a few grand in spite of all of it.  I had a good time sweating Dani/Ansky in the Pokerstars 4M guaranteed (i had busted earlier).  He was chipleader with 21 to go, aaaand then he busted in 20th.  Too bad.  First was almost 1.2 million.

As for me, I’m currently hanging out at home in Oregon, getting ready for the following string of events:

April 5th- Thailand (meeting up with my friend Ben, Mexor, 603Lucifer, and others)

April 28th- Hong Kong (hopefully seeing my friend Cailee there)

April 30th- May 15th, traveling around China with a friend

May 15th- Enter Tibet

June 5th? 8th? 3rd? 11th?- Fly home to Oregon to chill before WSOP

June 30th- WSOP 25k 6max event (super excited for this)

July 5th- WSOP ME

as soon as I bust or  win- San Sebastian and Biarritz in northern Spain/France, a little jaunt over to Sweden, maybe a stop in Vienna before either

A) surfing in Jeffries Bay, South Africa

or

B) looking at getting a home in either Seattle, Bay Area, or San Diego

hope you all are running well and playing like champions.
