I was in the mood to talk so…

One of our Admins recently posed the question (in his own broken English) “Why is tournament poker better than cash games?” Our own Dan Druff quickly replied, “It’s not”. I also share this same opinion. There are pros and cons to both, but in my opinion one causes delusions while other slaps you in the face with stark reality.

I have been a cash game player for over 13 years. I started from the bottom playing small limits and worked my way up to what I would categorize as middle/high limit poker, usually playing around the $100-200 limits. Over the past 14 years or so I have played a fair amount of tournaments with moderate success in proportion to the number that I’ve entered.

DonkDown is about 2 months old, and I am very proud of what we (read:  LAKingsfan12) have accomplished.  We have a major update on the way, and believe it or not I've been hard at work.  In other news The LAPC has already begun, with the first event attracting over 5,800 entries to the $335 four-starting-day-with-next-day-re-entry-no-limit.  I expect the same number of entrants for the $335 Stud8 I will be playing out there in a few days.  Good work Matt Savage in putting on the 2nd biggest tourney series of the year.  Also don't forget to join us this Wed. for DD Radio as well as a $500 added Reefer Poker private MTT.  If you are feeling too smart today, watch this video of Tiffany Michelle talking to Fox News.
