Absinthe is down to the final 29 in the LA Poker Classic Event #12. Play resumes tonight at 7PM Pacific. Send him some mojo.

Despite all the planning, I never made it out to Commerce both days for weekend #2, instead earning favors with the s.o. by spending Lunar New Year’s Eve at home putting up curtains and shoe storage bins and… yeah, boring stuff.

Made it out on Sunday for a few hours, but a lack of cards and some missed value bets brought in just barely over a BB for the session. As MT says, I got paid to play poker, but I could just as well have taken the day off. The 20/40 game was decent, but I have a feeling that 9/18 is where the real action is. Then again, Mr. Tournament swore up and down that the single table satellites were excellent opportunities for making some cash. Maybe I’ll give ‘em a shot.

A little drunk. Drinking some whiskey after winning a $20 SNG. The girlfriend took first in her $5 SNG. Plus I have a few minutes left of my birthday. Wee…

Very cool. More at Metropolis. Linkage from Curbed LA.

While I had nowhere near the results that Absinthe had this weekend, Commerce was still good to me.

Saturday:

20/40: +17.5BB (3.5BB/hr)

Sunday

20/40 -4.5BB (-1.8BB/hr)
9/18 +17.5BB (10BB/hr)

Judging from the action at the limit tables, I think getting there around 6, getting a bite to eat, and then hitting the tables for 4-5 hours is probably optimal. Catch you there next weekend. Good luck to all our players this week.

Absinthe took down first place at Event 1 of the LA Poker Classic. Look for details at his blog, CardPlayer, and Poker Pages. He’s a machine. He’s my hero.

It’s 1:20AM, and Absinthe is into his 10th hour of poker at the first event of the LA Poker Classic. So far he’s managed to outlast 1102 people. Better still, he’s been live-blogging the tourney. 2 more spots until the money. I can’t sleep.
