WCOOP Main tommorow!

"1 Time"

WCOOP has gone badly for me for the days I've been able to grind. I've been running really bad on the virtual felt but Iam super excitied for the 5200 main event tommorow. I feel like I'm gonna bring my A game to the biggest online tournament of the year. I like my chances.

Had a great time at TIFF as I always do. My favorites of the fest were Black Swan and Blue Valentine. Black Swan is a mindf**k film about a ballet dancer and Blue Valentine is a modern relationship drama. Check em out when they are released.

Haven't used a "1 time" since winning the Fallsview Poker Classic earlier this year. I'm using it now for tommorow's online session. 1 time. 1 time. 1 time.

Peace,

Good news for WCOOP, Bad news for TIFF

Looks like I'll be grinding most of WCOOP after all. The TIFF lineup isn't it's best and I'll be able to play most of the WCOOP events. Excitied to try to win a WCOOP bracelet. September is going to be a crazy month. The day after the WCOOP Main event I'm flying to London for the EPT where I'll be playing live tournaments every single day.

This is my Tentative TIFF schedule:
Sat. 11th: Trust (11 AM - Gonna grind WCOOP after screening)
13th: Everything Must Go (4:30 PM), John Carpenter's The Ward (Midnight)
14th: Black Swan (10 AM) Rabbit Hole (2:30 PM) Essential Killing (9:30 PM)
15th: Blue Valentine (6:15 PM) Promises Written in Water (10:45 PM)
18th: KABOOM (12:15 PM) Cave of Forgotten Dreams (9 PM)

Should be grinding WCOOP every day I'm not seeing movies.

Peace,
Simon Charette

Pot Limit Omaha is the nuts.

Short update here. Going into hour 6 of a PLO Cash game session and I'm having such a good time. It's a really refreshing to play a game other than no limit hold em. Playing more flops and getting way more action every hand. Up about 3 buy ins at the moment but it can change quickly!

It's also nice to be able to jump into a game for 2 hours and then quit when you feel like doing something else. Tournaments can be so draining on the mind, body and spirit. I'm gonna try and put more hours into PLO cash game sessions during TIFF where my days will be rather full.
