After a 4 month hiatus, Chewey's Blog is back. I've been on a world-wide cruise sipping Bloody Marys; looking for the next top supermodel; and just living it up. Just kidding! Actually, during the last 4 months, my focus has been on my poker business projects & not too much in the realm of tournaments or cash games. I know that I will not be playing forever & the shelf-life of a grinder is similar to a pro-athlete; hence business projects. Quick recap of my 2010 WSOP, I did play a few tournaments and was disappointed at myself. I had modest & high expectations but finished below them. I will blog about these expectations in a future blog.
Back to the present. Over the last few months, I have played mainly online at Bodog. Nothing too high-stakesish, just trying to see if I can put with donks at the micro-stakes. Playing at these levels forces me to appreciate the basics of Hold-em. I've also been playing mixed-games such as Stud, Hi-Li, Duece to Seven Draw for my 2011 WSOP campaign.
This won't be a super long blog as I'm literally running out of my room for 2010 Bally's Winterfest Poker Event at The Classic Bally's here in beautiful Las Vegas! Sign me up for an endorsement deal here, lol. The Winterfest is a invitational series of (3) 1-day tournaments in No-Limit Hold'em Poker. The playing schedule is crazy in that I will play in the mornings & have afternoons off but come back to play in the evenings. This reminds me of 2-a days in High School & College Ball. Not my favorite type of schedule but if there's a prize pool, I'm there. Players fields will be large (1,500-3,000), that's my kind of field!
I would like to thank all of my friends, family, on facebook, twitter community for your outpouring of support. Also, thanks to my every day friends for your support as well. With my phone, texts, emails blowing up. Keep it going , I always try to answer my mail, etc. I learned that from the "Prince of Poker" Scotty Nguyen himself this summer. To receive updates, you can subscribe to my blog as well. Below the stat tracker box on left side of my blog page.
Will the 4 month hiatus from the Live Poker Scene affect my play? Lack of training change my playing style? Find out in the next installment of Chewey's/247poker Blog! No big promises here, just my news as it happens!
My table awaits.
Viva Las Vegas!
