Am there today, would avoid the complimentary "beef" sandwich, especially if you're early in a long tournament.

Also, not sure where you got the Big Bounty tourney you listed for Feb 10. It does not show on the schedule I am looking at.

[Dan Druff]

Well I missed the $350 PLO8 because I was too tired to go at 1pm. No biggie, I hate driving all that way for small buyin events.

Maybe I'll go to bed early tonight and show up for limit holdem tomorrow, and play some cash before and after.

Is the "real grinders" tourney, like only the facebook group ? I don't see that on other scheds ?

[Dan Druff]

I don't see it, either.

Ray Davis posted about it, but it's not going to get good attendance if it's not listed elsewhere.

I'll ask Ray about it.

Is Kilgore Trout a bounty?

Still sore I see.

Is Kilgore Trout a bounty?

Still sore I see.

Wasn't she pretty high up or at least one of the main females at Royal Grinders? It would make sense for her to be a bounty. I stated several times that her ban made zero sense to me but I'm in no way sore over it. She fucking sucked and I think there almost had to be a ton of shit that we didn't hear because it just seemed so forced. Like I was never worried that she would steal money but it disturbed me how she and Lurker followed Larry around harassing him in just plain mean and not funny ways. In the same regard I don't understand limitles' ban either, but I'm happy that I don't have to read his post and I feel he deserves banishment for non listed reasons.. Todd works in mysterious ways.

Donkament time!

If traffic isn't horrid, probably playing $570 O8 tomorrow.

Anyone around text me at 775-372-8355

Busted after 5h 45m of play

Structure was slow 20min double levels before rebuy period

After rebuy period blinds got high and being card dead the last hour didnt help..

170 out of 710

Top 86 paid

Played a little too tight but fairly decent, especially after not playing a live tournament in almost a year.

At least I won a hat.

Raymond Davis is still around? How is he doing?

Way back in the day when I was a full on poker degenerate and spent 40 hrs/week playing live poker I went through a period where I was playing at the Bike a lot and I remember he used to hang around at the Bike and play tourneys, and actually ran hot for awhile, but the problem was whenever he binked one he would lose it all playing Chinese Poker against 3 guys who were talking with themselves in Vietnamese the whole time and were almost assuredly cheating him.

I remember he was a very personable, entertaining guy. Definitely one of those people where you feel they could have made a lot more with their lives if they weren't addicted to gambling. Hope he is doing ok.

You didn't win a hat. You payed $120 for a hat. Congrats anyways. Its a nice looking hat.

[Dan Druff]

Won't be going today. Something came up.

Maybe tomorrow.

TID!!!!!!!

It's really too bad, because I wanted to play that O8 tournament.

I don't get to play a lot of live O8, because it's hard to find a game running which is 20-40 or higher.

I will attempt to make the $1100 version on the 12th, but I have to imagine they won't get a very big field on that one.

I probably won't be able to make tomorrow's Big O tournament, but I'll post here if I end up going.

40-80 O8 runs everyday at Hollywood Park. I doubt playing O8 is that important to you though, that you would go there to play.

He runs the RealGrinders Facebook group, which is very popular (14,000 members).

He has no problem with me posting the link to the PFA Radio show each week, which I appreciate.

Not sure how much RealGrinders is making him. I know he sells merchandise and occasionally has tournaments, which he presumably receives a piece of the action.

Tentatively planning to do limit holdem tomorrow at 1.

Anyone gonna be there?

I am going to play. I played the $350 limit hold’em two weeks ago. Typical mix of 40/80 grinders and players who have no clue on how to play limit. I have to admit I did not play my best and finished in the middle of the pack. Gonna focus and redeem myself tomorrow.
