June 17, 2008
I just love player of the year races. I've had a good track record with them
and they really motivate me to play better. I won:
1997 Best All Around Player in Foxwoods
LAPC Best All Around Player (forget the year)
2004 WSOP Player of the Year
2004-05 WPT Player of the Year
2004 Card Player of the Year
and now I'm in a fun race with a couple of buddies in Erick Lindgren and
Barry Greenstien. The WSOP site has been really great this year with quick
updates on the point totals. The top five at the moment are:
1. Erick Lindgren 185
2. Daniel Negreanu 170
3. Barry Greenstien 165
4. Vanessa Selbst 163
5. Jacobo Fernandez-Hernandez 157
The $50k HORSE and the $10K main event don't count toward the POY
points this year, but I think they definitely should count since both are
open events. The thinking behind that is it creates kind of a triple crown
vibe to the WSOP with the big 3 being the main event, the 50K HORSE, and
the POY. Winning all three will likely never happen, but how sick would that
be?
I'm playing good poker right now and making good decisions. Patience has
been solid and while fatigue is playing a role my body is holding up pretty
well thanks to being in better shape. I'm fighting through late nights the
best I can and trying to get as much sleep as possible.
My next event will be at 5pm, playing in the World Championship 5k Stud 8
or better event. I haven't done as well as I would have liked in Stud 8
tournaments, but I definitely think it's my best game and it's only a matter
of time before I break through.
