Gettin Ready for WSOP, baybee!
Wednesday, May 20, 2009 - HollywoodDave
Soooo….finally back on the west coast from last week’s Celebrity Apprentice debacle & gearing up for the WSOP!! Hard to believe its just over a week away and then it is 6 weeks of madness — and, of course, bracelets! The past 2 years I have had less than stellar results, but have always felt like I played well. Maybe this is the year I can trade in playing well for making some sick cashes instead lol…
So this final week is some much needed downtime, which means spending some quality time with my dad & bros, as well as catching up on all the season finales of my fave tivoed shows: 24, Lie to Me, and despite not watching as much as I did last season, American Idol! I am blown away by how much of a total rockstar Adam Lambert is, but after last week’s highway robbery by Joan Rivers, I am not placing any bets on the outcome of Idol…lets just say that my tenuous faith in the moral decency of primetime reality television programming has been shaken to its core & I don’t know how long it will take me to trust in it once again!
I’ve been playing online a lot more lately, but mostly lower stakes this week to force myself to focus on the fundamentals of poker once again. Sometimes the hardest game of all to beat, especially online, is a full 5/10 ring game — all of the elements of the WSOP masses are there: the loose callers, the chasers, the semi-pros, and the tight & bluffable weak spots. I’m trying to experience a wider range of styles so that I am completely prepared for the crush of players starting next week at the Rio, rather than the primarily uber-aggro action freaks you find more prevalently at the higher levels.
Other than that just been kickin it with my girl MB & loving life 
Its been awhile since I’ve been so completely happy just sharing my life with someone & that is exactly what I’ve been doing for a few wonderful months now. And amazing how much better my poker game has been — not only the WSOP Circuit ring, but a bunch of deep cashes online as well! So the moral of the story this week is that HD is calm, relaxed, and centered… and ready to kick some ass starting next week! Make sure you guys add me on twitter so you can get all the moment-by-moment action at the tables @ www.Twitter.com/Hollywood_Dave
Til then –

Hey is Ultimate Bet doing any satellites for the other tournaments? I’m going to play in the Omaha Friday May 29th and wanted to find out if there were going to be satellites for other events or sponsorships?
