BK's "My Story"

I've read this before, but I'm bumping because it's such an awesome story.

otherwise, i am super surprised schneids had any trouble finding backing. when i hear about all these 2p2ers blowing tons of cash in -ev games (party blackjack) and posting huge downswings in bbv its surprising that they wouldnt throw a in a g. likely its bc no one knew.

BTW I never really had any trouble finding backing. I just did not seriously ask anyone about backing until the very last minute, but not one person I asked said no to it.

Did Jay play the main event? I had calc 3 with him last year [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]



P.S. You denied me as a friend on facebook, I cried.


Edit: I talked to Kyle online, and know that he didnt play the main event, did he just mostly play cash games on the side, or was he just enjoying the vacation?

You don't know me, but I just wanted to say that I believe my best friend's wife, Kate Edenborg, is a professor for a J-class you might have at the U? Just wondering.

Congrats, my man. Nice work.

nice report BK.
I agree that the pay-structure in the tourney probably means you should have slowed-down and got your $16k before going back into chip-accumulation mode.
I appreciate your thoughts on just going there to win it and not wanting to do that 'limp into the money crap'...and in many tourneys I think this would be correct thinking.
But in this one it wouldn't have killed you to muck a couple of marginal hands to crack that bubble.


If the payout had been like it was last year where making the money was only $5.2k then I think you could have kept doing what you were doing.

quoting to add my voice to the many who say that BK's 'my story' post is a pretty good read. You will definitely enjoy it Kramer.

I barely saw you (Kramer) after the opening day thingee. Oh well. We'll drink more next year.


As I reported in the other thread, I finished down, down and downer for the week.
I had ZERO winning sessions...although my last session was only -$9.


minus a few hundred in cash-games
minus over $1k in end of week bill

also spent a couple days in south florida after the cruise (just got back) so tack on hotel and car-rental bill.


My horoscope today (Scorpio) says I am going to have a very profitable next 4 weeks though. Hoo-ray for that.

I always saw you walking outside on the deck with your lady friend as I was just about to bubble out of every damn SnG I played. Well, at least you looked like you were having fun.

Let me see if I can top that. Every card I touched during the cruise turned to [censored]. I dropped about $200 in the 10/20 game, -$800 at 2/5 NL, $-200 at 1/2 NL, -$400 at the $220 SnGs, and -$1060 at the NL tournaments. Oh yeah, I made $5 at the 20/40 games and maybe $16 at the 2/4 game.

Rough poker week to say the least. And me drinking about $1K in Coronas certainly didn't heal the wounds.

Awesome trip though. Does the fact that my girlfriend did way better than me at the poker tables make me less of a man? Oh well, I'm proud of her... [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

One friend declined the proposition to invest in his entry fee. When asked why he didn’t chip in, he wonders why in retrospect himself.

No real reason for this post....just curious which is true. Ohh and congrats Schneids. I never saw you after the final table...I think I was too drunk the entire time.

[Enon]

Just a quick note to people who want pics and video: I've been really really busy with friends and errands since I've been back (in bed now after going to Ghostface show this evening) and tommorow will hopefully be the day I get something written and posted.

I did not really ever ask Mike because I knew it would represent a larger portion of his BR than in comparison to the other guys I asked. He was aware I was looking for backers and heard me ask BK and Jay but he wasn't really specifically asked for that reason, though had he chimed in and said he wanted to too he would have probably been sold a share.

[lapdog]

hey BK!

I was on the cruise ship too! I was the guy wearing the hat that says "Chip It!". I think I saw you looking at my hat a couple times. I know where you can get one if you want. PM me.

Remember that one hand when the guy totally sucked out on you? That was gay. I hate n00bs like that. I know his handle on RGP if you want to start a thread there about what a n00b he is. PM me.

Well it was super kewl seeing you play. I'll give you my AIM sn if you want to chat about high stakes poker, as I'm probably going to be moving up soon. PM me.

PS: I like Red Stripe too!
