TheMavenVT, Main Event FT and Updates

By Ari - Oct 30 2009, 01:14 PM

 It's been a while since my last update. September was filled with Jewish holidays so I spent a bunch of time traveling to friends and family. Jetblue offered an all you can travel promotion from Sep 8 to Oct 8 for $600, I took full advantage booking more than 10 flights in that time. The downside to all this was my inability to play any Sunday tournaments as they conflicted with the Jewish Holidays. I believe this was my first time missing 4 straight Sundays since I started tournament poker.

I made it home in time for the Caesars Poker Classic, where they ran a 1K heads up tournament. The last time they ran a heads up tournament was in May, and I was able to take it down winning my 2nd WSOPC ring in the process. This tournament didn't go as well - although I did make a deep run - finally falling to eventual winner Chad Brown in the semifinals.

I'm incredibly excited to have been invited by TheMavenVT to participate in the online broadcast of the WSOP Main Event Final Table. TheMavenVT will be launching in early 09, and I'm very happy to be involved with the creation of this new training site. My first video for the site will be my final table earlier this year in the Stars Million, where I chopped 3 way for 116K.

I'm looking forward to action packed November, where I'll be working hard getting TheMavenVT ready for launch. The beginning of the month features the 14th Ftops, and then I'll be heading to Australia for my cousin Ezra's Barmitzvah at the end of the month.

Check out some videos TheMavenVT channel on Youtube.

Cut- Yes the Jewish Calender is lunar based. 3/4 of the holidays all begin on the same day, and happened to run on Sunday this year. The other one was Monday but the Jewish day begins @ sundown, (in this case Sunday night) so I couldnt play Sunday tournaments.

Case- The series had a different name, but was also @ Ceasers  and basically was the same idea. Btw, that guy was the infamous Doug Lee of "toolbox" infamy.

And yes after laughing w/ the rail over how tight i was, i started going crazy aggro, and he ended up calling my preflop 14bb shove (for his tourament life) w/ q4, saying I know I'm good, I know I'm good, (I had q9)
