The New KORD...The Anti-Waffles
Well, after a long time away, the KORD has returned. It is the Anti-Waffles except that would mean that waffles is a stud but we know that he isn’t. He just plays a lot of stud. Anyway, it will be June 6th at 9:15 central time. It is an $8 buy-in and will have a 50/50 bounty. It should be a lot of fun. The password is pokere.

The Next KORD
I will be hosting the next KORD tourney on June 6th. It will be a $8+.80 with a $4 bounty and $4 going to the prize pool. Tourney time will be at 9:15 central time. The password is pokere and should be up soon.
Now here is to the American Dream.

Something New at Brickin The Nutz
The management of Brickin The Nutz has come up with a new idea. Sitting around the Razz table the other day we thought that creating our own clothing line might be a good thing so we have opened a store front called BTN Apparel. We have various items for sale including a waffles thong and the prices are low just for you. I don’t have the Brickin The Nutz stuff ready yet because some work is being done on a logo but it will be out shortly. We will also have KORD apparel for the Razz Enthusiast so take a look around and see if there is something you like.

100 Chip Turbo...The Crack of the Poker World
Well FTOPS Razz arrived last night and I had no intentions of playing in it at all. I had no time to try and qualify so I thought I would just cover any bloggers who played in it on Live Poker Radio. But a funny thing happened about an hour before it started. IT and I saw that no bloggers were signed up so we made a deal. I would try one of the 100 chip super turbos with him giving me $30 for my efforts. So with him having 36% of my action I hit and $80 SNG and prepared for some fun.
I noticed right away that these things are crazy. Guys push in these things with just about any low up card so I knew if I could catch a hand early I would have a good shot. The 2nd hand gives me this:

Now I’m sitting pretty. It would be a total melt down if I don’t win a seat. I have 65% of the chips in play but I also no that Razz is fickle. I loose a small hand and make a steal and we are down to 3 players. I still have about 60% of the chips in play so I can wait it out. Eventually, after the two other players passed their chips around, a player is knocked out and I have my seat.

My Experiment....(Jude)
Went to hell in a handbasket......
Last night after work, I signed up for the late night $10 Razz mtt. Only 23 entrants for this one with 3 spots paying. It was going along fairly well after a slow start and I had been in the top 4 for several levels. I was feeling pretty good about my play until...
As we were nearing the final table, I had dropped a few spots and was thinking about my last post. (How I play far too passive late) So, I was looking to play a big pot and get back into the top 2/3 spot and be in good shape for the final table when this horrific hand went down.

So, Tom is short and decides to get his money in here with a 9.
Prezone only has 785 chips and he has also decided to get his money in here with his 2.
I think my 6 3 A is a great hand to go up against these two shorties and I really want to get vip los g out with his limped 6. Just like NL, the fewer the opponents, the better. I re-raise it.

Looking back, I could've folded on 5th and maybe have made a comeback. I don't know. It was a frustrating hand.
Tom commented in the chat that I played the hand too fast, but then later he said you have to make those plays and take those chances to go deep.
I think the 3 bet by me was correct in trying to get vip to fold; it just didn't work out. Any thoughts, dear readers?
Btw, I bubbled the final table in 9th due to this hand. :(
Last night after work, I signed up for the late night $10 Razz mtt. Only 23 entrants for this one with 3 spots paying. It was going along fairly well after a slow start and I had been in the top 4 for several levels. I was feeling pretty good about my play until...
As we were nearing the final table, I had dropped a few spots and was thinking about my last post. (How I play far too passive late) So, I was looking to play a big pot and get back into the top 2/3 spot and be in good shape for the final table when this horrific hand went down.

So, Tom is short and decides to get his money in here with a 9.
Prezone only has 785 chips and he has also decided to get his money in here with his 2.
I think my 6 3 A is a great hand to go up against these two shorties and I really want to get vip los g out with his limped 6. Just like NL, the fewer the opponents, the better. I re-raise it.
JudeSalem raises to 450

Two players all in and vip catches a 2. This could be a disaster for me, as I really need a 2 and there are already two showing. Tom may even have one as he has pushed with his hand...but I don't see how I can fold this hand!

5 Buck Razz Final Table Epiphany (Jude)
I'm still playing the nightly $5.50 on Full Tilt whenever I get the chance, although not many others are. The numbers have dropped by more than half for this mtt. Did everyone move up at the same time and leave me behind or what??
Since I feel that I still don't have enough experience (or the bankroll for that matter) to move up to the $26 on a regular basis, I'm still swimming with the fishies in this one. There is a $10 one twice a day at odd hours, mid afternoon and late night, that I've made a couple of attempts to play, but wasn't able to cash or get anywhere near cashing the 2 times I tried it. I'll continue to give those a try on an infrequent basis, though.
So last night, I managed a 3/41 finish, which is odd, because I was down to 32 of 34 players at one point. Bricks and bring-ins were hitting me really hard in the early levels and out of frustration, I decided to just give the small remainder of my chips up and call it a night. To my surprise, I won that hand and doubled up. Then a little later, I won a 2600 pot with a J low. A J low! I made the correct read on him and just like that, I was back in the game. Although I wasn't having the best of luck, I never fell out of the top ten after that and went to the final table 5th in chips.
Of course, I played my usual passive final table game, as only 5 of the 8 would cash. For some reason I go into Super Fold Mode before the bubble. 67(8) against a raising 3? Fold it. A2(8) against a raised 4? Fold it! (Epiphany part) I know it's a leak and I know that's the reason why I can sometimes sneak into these 3rd place finishes, but I also know it's the reason I can't seem to win one of these things. I tell myself that I'm avoiding traps and those 'set up hands', but what I'm really doing is costing myself the chips I need to take one down. So.......that's what I will be thinking the next time I am nearing a final table; up the aggression to get into a winning position. A little experiment. I'll let you know how it goes. :)

Playing Razz Skillz
I played the blogger Skillz game last night and as it was Razz I thought I would talk a little about it.
It didn’t start well as I slowly chipped down and hit a lot of bricks. I was down to about 2.1K when I finally won a solid pot.

This was all but the end of my night. I actually got some chips back with my luckbox skills that I borrowed from surflexus but they were not enough and I went out in 24th place.
Not sure if the big losing hand was played right or not. It was hard to get away from all those chips.
It didn’t start well as I slowly chipped down and hit a lot of bricks. I was down to about 2.1K when I finally won a solid pot.

I hit good and make a 6 to take the pot. I’m still in need of a big hand to make a good run.
I chip up a little and then move back down before getting involved in this hand.

I make my 7 but change has a better 7…I may or may not have been behind the whole time. And Loretta hits to take the other pot as well. I was right vs one player but maybe not the other.
This was all but the end of my night. I actually got some chips back with my luckbox skills that I borrowed from surflexus but they were not enough and I went out in 24th place.
Not sure if the big losing hand was played right or not. It was hard to get away from all those chips.
