Meetings, Meeting, and more Meetings

I spent all day today on conference calls or in meetings. Actually yesterday afternoon was much of the same. On the conference call we worked on a DVD project I have planned and I’m very excited about the way the call went. One thing I can guarantee, is that this poker DVD will be unlike any you’ve ever seen before. A totally unique format that I’m hoping you’ll all be entertained by, while actually learning a thing or two along the way. The rest of the day was spent talking with the FCP Biz Team about this weekend. We wanted to put together a solid game plan for the weekend so that everyone gets the most out of it. I am looking really forward to this weekend and think it’s just going to be an awesome time for all. Everything is set and ready to go. We got grub, we got drinks, and we are gonna have a house full of FCPers sharing war stories. Tomorrow everyone gets here in the afternoon and then the plan is to play a free roll tournament at Wynn. It’ll be a pretty quick structure, but it should still last about 3-4 hours. Then of course on Saturday we have a full day of events planned revolving around the theme of the eight challenges I promised to play the FCP Logo Contest winner. Some of the challenges we’ll do at my house, while others we’ll do over at E-DOG’s bachelor pad. That night, the finalists and I will have dinner at Wing Lei over at Wynn. I’m sure when the weekend is over you’ll hear from all of the participants as they’ll likely give you their take on how the weekend went.

Once again, “E-DOG” owned Negreanu and busted him out first with AK versus AQ. The next to go was Jennifer Harman when her AK ran into David Williams AA. Josh Arieh should have been the next player eliminated, but he doubled up like seven hands in a row! It was the scariest thing, he was all in for the big blind and came all the way back to being an above average stack. David Williams went down followed by Evelyn Ng and so it was down to just me, E-DOG, Josh and Carlos Mortenson. With the blinds getting way up there I found myself in a three way pot all in with KQ vs. K8 and 87. I couldn’t ask for a better spot, but E-DOG hit the 8 and sent me to the rail. What can I say, the kid’s got my number. Not only did he bust me once in the tourney, but twice! For those of you that haven’t figured it out yet and are wondering, huh? Did Daniel lose his mind or something? No, I’m just fine thank you. I finally got a copy of STACKED with Daniel Negreanu in the mail and was testing it out by playing a single table satellite against the pros. I really can’t explain in words how cool that is. Especially for a guy like me that grew up playing fantasy sports and video games. I ended up playing STACKED for like four hours straight, watching the Poker School and then fiddling with all of the features in the career mode. *****************************************************************
