Feedback!

Recently (last blog) I put my email out there in hopes to get some feedback on my blogs. I want to start by thanking everyone that took the time to write to me (regardless of subject matter). I love interaction and hearing ya'lls thoughts. I am going to make a conscious effort to cover the...

The Olympics, Variance and Life...

As I entered the Bicycle Casino for the day 1a of the $10,000 Main Event; I was greeted with a pleasant surprise. It was Julio (a writer for CardPlayer Magazine) who was talking with Katie (my manager) about how I needed to write more blogs. He quickly shifted the conversation to me as he saw me...

A Quick Realization

Okay so you know those random sleepless nights when your laying in bed and you realize something (always seems to happen to me and half the stories/subjects of the blogs derive from this time); well today's another one. I was laying there reliving the events of today and such and realized...

Maui Degens Part 2 (but not really...)

Ok before I start I just have to say Im very tilted that I made it seem like this is a 2 part blog. It was supposed to be I just forgot why. Like I think I had a funny story or something to compile for this edition but Im drawing a blank. So if the blog sucks blame Canada. Anyway on the brighter...

Bad News Bowling

Sooooooooooooo I know it's been a while but what can I say? I've been busy. You know; the gym, the Wynn spa (actually I'm proud to say that the hostess knows me by name), high stakes go carting and losing every flip in CCR. But you say, "Alec, what about poker?" Yes, that...

Complete Degen

So I busted the 1k rebuy in 40th place when I lost 2 flips. I managed to cash for 10k + and was only in for a shocking 4k which I was very proud of to say the least. I took the next few days off and did absolutely nothing. I logged at least 10 - 15 hours of F.I.F.A. 07 on Xbox, bet on the Olympic...

Decisions, Decisions

After the 10k Heads Up event I somehow managed to make it to the $2500 6 max event the next day; only to bust JJ to AK in 5 hands. Tilt. I knew it was a sign. I needed to get out of Vegas. I hung out for a day, got my stuff together, convinced my friend Luke to come with me and headed home. We...

Life and the Series

(Before you read this I want you to know I know that I said I wouldn't only talk about poker, but since i've been a huge degen for the past 2 weeks thats basically all I've been doing so I'll try to make a boring subject as interesting as possible. Sorry in advance for whatever...

Yosemite was absolutely amazing. As promised, I have lots of pics, video and stories! But you ask, "Wait its your first world series... aren't we going to hear about poker?" "No. That's what the other 400 blogs on Card Player are for." If you really want to hear about...
