Wise Hand Poker

I started seeking out new music again. I guess that's how I know the medicine is working; I guess that's how I know I'm getting better.

Justin Shronk also made an early exit from the tournament, but his elimination hand was not exactly a race situation. With the blinds at 50/100 Dutch pro Peter Jepsen raised to 250 in early position and the player on the button called. Shronk moved all-in for 1625 total from the small blind with A-J off suit. Jepsen then reraised all-in for approximately 6K chips and the button folded. Jepsen showed 10-7 off suit and flopped a 10, sending Shronk to the rail.

Since I have been stranded at home this week I have been surfing the Poker Forums and watching the updates of the events at Pokernews.com.(which are outstanding)

I can't believe some of the interviews taped and posted at various sites have given Bryan Micon so much time.

There are so many other outstanding Poker players walking the halls that are actually a good interview and not some guy who rambles and laughs at his own comments.

I have also been listening to the live feed of PokerRoad Radio. Excellent show and I highly recommend it to anyone. If you cannot listen live they are archived and also available at Itunes for free.

Still a lot of gossip about the WPT and GSN and I read a very interesting post by some one who said that Direct TV is a very good possibility for a 24 hour Poker station.How cool would that be.

I have been pretty busy trying to get the Fallen Heroes web site up and running and getting next years event started. The new shirts are a hit and we are hoping to get some more Challenge Coins soon.

Good Luck still to everyone at the WSOP I am going Tuesday the 17th for 2 days ...Yes Iam Back..if the satellite goes good I will enter the $2500.00 NL event Tuesday at noon.If not I will be at Caesars playing the noon tourney...

Take care...Be safe...

I was glad to see our own Justin Shronk was able to play in a WSOP Event due to some very generous friends. Justin is a very good Poker Player and did well in Last years Series. Although he didn't get deep this year, I am sure he will be back at the table very soon. Most of his time right now is dedicated to PokerRoad Radio and I am sure all of you have tuned in.

I am not sure I would want to be backed in a tournament. I would not mind giving someone 40% of my winnings, but the makeup would bother me. Some backers do not worry about the makeup and thats a big risk for them, but they have confidence in your play,after all one is usually staked because their funds are low.

I would love to hear your WSOP stories. It doesn't have to be about how you played. I will listen to Rail stories, Vacation stories to the WSOP or even bad beat stories at the WSOP.

You can e-mail them to krwisehand@sbcglobal.net">pkrwisehand@sbcglobal.net and I will share as many as I can.

I am still trying to come up with some money to play next Tuesdays event. I had some stock I sold and I was told it would take about 10 working days to get my money.

It was time to sell it anyway. I bought 1500.00 dollars of Delta Airlines stock after they went bankrupt a few years ago. It was only 24 cents a share at the time and I knew the Government would bail them out. I sold it last week for a nice little profit, so if my check comes I am in. If not my garage will be the most organized and freshly painted one in all of California.

Also. I read GSN has yet to approve another year of televising the WPT. Other bloggers have written this could be the end of the WPT on television. I for one hope this not to be true. The WPT on TV has been so important to Poker and Steve Liscomb is a great businessman and I am sure he will find some way to keep televising WPT events. ESPN would be the best solution for this if they could work out some type of agreement or even Fox.

We need televised Poker and all the sponorships it brings with it. Good Luck to you WPT hope your discussions go well.

Hope to hear from some of you........

Take Care...Be Safe.....
