Crazy, I know.
This was actually my first night playing online since I got back from Vegas the week after the WSOP. Lots of things going on, and just not making time to play.
Swung right back in to the thick of things, playing in the Poker Stars 23:00 ET $109 with 281 entrants ($28k+ prize pool) and the 6-max $109 $25k Guaranteed on Tilt with 283 entries starting at the same time. Plus a pair of $55 SNGs for good measure for four-table goodness.
Good night of results all around for my first night back in a month: second in one of the SNGs, then final five tables of the Full Tilt $25k Guaranteed with a finish in 39th place there. Then finally made the final two tables of the Stars $109 MTT, finishing in 17th place.
Not a huge night of payoffs, as the Stars 20% structure is pretty flat and top-loaded, but great results for being my first night back and almost hitting not one but two good-sized final tables. I was even chiplead for a good portion of the Stars towards the end, but lost a couple hands for about 1/4th my chips each time, calling short-stack all-ins and being ahead preflop but not able to hold (i.e. AJ < Q4, etc). Ran really well in the middle and last 1/3 of the tourney but then ran really cold once we hit about four tables and just sank like a stone through the field. Let myself get too shortstacked in the end, probably should have Gambooled it up sooner, but had a really aggressive table with several good "known" players and just couldn't get the combination of a hand and an opportunity.
Big thanks to Rizen for sweating me down from four tables and doing his part to call for some cards in chat when I needed them. :)

Love the blog, thanks for all the NFL analysis.
A question for you. I'm interested in placing NBA over/under bets. Last year, I used Bodog to make the wagers; this year, I'm unsure what to do in light of recent developments.
Any advice on where to place?
Thanks
Should have called me. I have more sweating skillz experience, while Rizen has more experience being the sweatee.
Farfel,
Bodog isn't going anywhere, even in light of the pending legislation. If you used them last year, you won't have any problem with them going forward.
You might check out Pinnacle or Mansion as two other sportsbooks that aren't going anywhere either... There's a link to Mansion on the front of my blog.
Any thoughts on the UFC matchups tonight?
Planning on watching the fights tonight?
absolutely. :)
Just posted a writeup on the fights tonight
