No time right now

I haven't had time to really play any dedicated poker. Last time i played was about 2 months ago a home game where I busted out on the bubble. Other then that i dabbled a little but on line nothing serious mainly freerolls on South Point poker, and Minted poker.

I have a lot of things going in my life at the moment. I do hope to return to poker sometime soon in the beginning of the new year 2012. To prepare for the WSOP Circuit event In west palm beach Kennel club in February.

Not that anyones looking at my dead blog anyway LMAOO! :) but hope to blog again sometime soon. And hey maybe tweet also. You can follow me on twitter. Look up MiamiMackk

2011 New Year….Similar plans

But this time with more follow through.

The beginning of 2010 for me poker wise I was on a roll and doing great, playing cash games at the Magic Casino.

But like always in my tuff finical life I had to spend the small roll I made on bills. “Sigh” And I’m sure you're all aware the hard times we are all going through with the depression. Yes I said depression….

I had plans of vblogg but my old digital camera couldn’t handle the job. I tried a test run on the old camera but it failed. Since then I bought a brand new Bloggie Digital camera by Sony, and it looks like a go for vblogging.

Like I mentioned a new year with similar plans, going to hit the cash tables again in various places and work up my bank roll again, But a with a twist!

With the changes in gambling laws here in Florida we now can play high stakes. And because of this the World Series of Poker Circuit is coming here to Florida in mid February.

So guess where I will be? Yup at the Series!

If you live in Florida and are a poker player here some info to check out: http://www.wsop.com/tourney/tourneydetails.asp?groupID=815

Anyway I may put up a small test run video soon. If not, I will post again sometime in mid or end of January when I start my poker run.

I really want 2011 to be my poker year.


Peace.

PokerStars Million Dollar Challenge Qualifier.

I haven't posted anything for a very long time. I had thoughts of possible Video blogging here my run at the casinos in the beginning of the year with my results and I had every intention of doing it. I did record on my very first day but my camcorder is very cheap and the copy came out extremely dark and no way of adjusting it. So that meant me having to buy a new one which also I intended of ding because for the first few weeks of my run I was doing great and I was build a nice little bank roll.

But like always in my life something came up where I had no choice but to dip into my bankroll and use the money for an emergency. (Sigh)

So again I have to start from scratch and start all over again.

Anyway, I played a day ago or so a qualifier on PokerStars.com for the “PokerStars Million Dollar challenge” And low and behold I beat out 8900 players to make top 20. So that qualified me to make an audition tape for a chance for me to be film in LA for the show. Filming begins 31Jul-06August so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. This could be my big break I have been dreaming of. This could be step foreword for me in becoming a future Poker Pro.

If you have never heard of the show just head over to YouTube and type in PokerStars Million Dollar challenge at the search bar and check it out or go to PokStars Blog.

I had heard of the show but cant view here. I have Direct TV but for some reason and another that channel that is on in my area has some other programming (that really sucks) But thank god for YouTube I can still view the show there.

Anyway I haven't gotten the invite yet to turn in the audition tape but I'm going to be ready just in case. My two buddies and I are getting together tomorrow night and get the audition tape done and ready. If I get lucky enough to get chosen I’ll be taking my Best friend Oscar and close friend Willie. Which both were from my former crew the Poker Knights of Miami.

Anyway that’s all for now If I can I will try to upload the audition tape here on journal blog. Wish me luck!!

Here's a link so you can go read up on the show:

ONE TIME!!

I was taking a smoke break outside at work today (yes, I smoke Black n Mild’s) when a co worker friend joined me. After a small chit chat with pleasantries and commenting on how overload work and short pay tirades a small pause.

I comment to her, “Man.... Just ONE TIME!” she instantly knew what I meant by that comment. She knows I’m an avid poker enthusiast and have dreams of one day winning a big one (a big money Score).

To my surprised she asked me in a very straight and direct way (not rude).

What would you do if you won?

Hmmmmmm.......

Just like 95% of all low buy in poker players all of them have those dreams of becoming a high roller the big high stakes player ….To becoming a PRO!
Well we all have this dream and I’m also one of those people.

To answer her question I mention a new poker show that’s on TV called “Face the Ace”.
They have online qualifiers tournaments that I had mention to her that I have been playing.
I explained to her if I happen to win a spot on the show.
I would have a shot of three big money prizes. 
I went further to explain that on the show I would have to beat out 3 professional poker pros in order to win certain amounts of money. 

Beat the 1st pro win: 40k

Beat the 2nd pro win: 200k

Beat the 3rd pro win; 1 million

So I broke it down to her like this.

First off it would be a miracle that I could win a spot on this show. Not because I don’t consider myself a good player or believe in my poker skills. It’s simply because the amount of people trying to win a spot on this show online.
Just even trying to register online for a shot to the qualifiers is a hit or miss.
If any of you ever tried to just register for the two tournaments that run every 5-10 minutes they fill up so fast, within 1-2 seconds (no joke) don’t believe me?
Go check it out yourself on full tilt. You’ll quickly see that I’m not exaggerating.

Anyway going back, winning the prizes, I broke it down to her like this:

40k Win: After deciding whether to keep the 40k or go on and try for the 200k.
Keep the 40k, I would pay off some small backed up bills and keep my job. Pad a bankroll and try to grind my way up (brick and mortar not online). The road to becoming a pro a decent starting bankroll of like (10-20k) would be an excellent start in my opinion.

Grinding the low stakes cash games and working your way up with good money management of course. This would also help me get my one here to the USA. (Some my know what I mean by my the one, but only the people that are really close to me might understand what I’m talking about in reference to the one).

200k Win: After deciding whether to keep the 200k or go for the million.

Keep the 200k things would change. I would have to come to the decision of which most likely would be to quit my job here and I would move to Vegas and work par time their. While making poker my 2nd part time gig.
Help my family out and take care of my kids finically while also speeding the process of getting my one here in the USA.

1 Million Win: This would defiantly be a life changer.

This would be the ultimate goal to achieve.

I would no doubt make Vegas my new residence. Again do whatever it takes to make my family comfortable. No doubts have my one here in the USA. And I make poker my fulltime gig.

I would love to do the poker tours to play out of county tournaments.
To conclude: Though I don’t play as much poker as I did back in the days. I still have the dreams and love for the game and the will to make it big.

All I need is just…………………………………..ONE TIME
