PLO8 Results

I’m really tired and busy today, but just wanted to put up a quick update here to say that I ended up 16th in the $1500 PLO8 event, cashing for a little shy of $10K. Certainly not enough to get even on the trip, but it was a big help and in a lot of other ways as well was a great way to wrap-up what has been a disappointing couple of weeks in terms of results. I plan to write and podcast a lot more about the tournament, so for now I’ll just say that it was a great experience: I had a lot of fun, I learned a lot, I met interesting people, and I got to play with a couple of my early poker heroes, specifically Barry Greenstein and Alan Cunningham.

I really appreciate everyone who was cheering here, on Twitter, etc., and I hope I’ll be able to deliver another nice sweat for you all in the Main Event next month. I won’t be playing any poker between now and then, but I’ve still got plenty of WSOP stuff to write about so you should continue to see new content going up here.

Also for reasons having nothing to do with this, this week’s podcast is probably going to be a little late going up, most likely not until Thursday. It was recorded last week, so there won’t be any PLO8 talk, but you can definitely look forward to hearing that next week! Nate’s got a great head for the game, he was a big help to me in preparing for the final few tables, and we’re going to try to get a good guest for the subject as well. Stay tuned!
