It's time to take another shot at this blogging thing....for a few reasons. I'd like to blog regularly, but I get into a lull on content sometimes. I've been playing a lot of poker lately, and poker always makes for good content considering the audience here on P5s. I'm not going to get too far into it today, but I have started to play quite a bit in a local 2-5 game that plays pretty big and usually features a full table of people with an average stack of around $1,000. I've been running pretty well in the last week and am up a little over $4k in my last three trips. I heard a pretty scary story about this game, though, and I'll share that with you now. The game is in a pretty shady area of town. Well....in reality, most of San Jose is pretty shady. This area in particular, though, is pretty nasty. If you drive to the Clarion (the hotel where the game is played) any time after 10 p.m. on any day of the week, your chance of seeing at least three transvestite hookers in the ...

This was a really fun event, and what a time for it too. My girlfriend is coming down here for the next 10 weeks or so, and I likely won't be playing a lot of poker while she's here, so this was one more chance to spend some time at the tables. It was also a great opportunity to see some of my good friends that I only see a couple times a year at poker events. All in all, it was just a really good time. The event started for me on Wednesday night, when PokerStars threw their pre-event party. I thought it was just going to be a little gathering with finger foods and an open bar, but it turned out to be pretty crazy. I went to dinner at an Argentinian steak house with my friend Frank (gator93 online) before the party, so I ended up not having a lot of room for food or drink, but I still got to take in all the scenery....was a lot of fun. After the party, there was a $200 super-satellite for the main event. I had already won a seat a few weeks earlier in a live satellite, but I ...

This is going to be a short blog, and it's my first entry in what should become a regular thing I do here on P5s. I'm in the Houston airport, and my connection takes off about 33 minutes from right now, so I don't have time to go too far in depth. I also flew out of Costa Rica at 6:45 a.m. this morning, and I'm working on about 3 hours sleep, if that... Basically... P5s Live reporter Court Harrington came down to Costa Rica for a few days to hang out and talk about plans for the World Series of Poker this summer. I'm pretty excited about our plans to cover all the events, and Court's the main man for all of that, as on top of reporting, he's the main organizer for everything on P5s Live. I also was glad to see him in general, as we don't get to hang out with him that much, and he's a good guy who does a lot of really positive things for our site. Most of Court's trip was spent in the office with the rest of us, particularly due to the fact that we launched the redesign less ...
