WPT Playground & the Playground Winter Festival: Jan. 29 - Feb. 15, 2017
As I posted on Facebook, the WPT Playground 2017 schedule is now available. This will be the first of many huge festivals coming to Canada in 2017. :wav: I will be playing the two Survivor events, fourth consecutive Seniors Event at PG, and grind the satellites to the $1 million guaranteed Main Event.
The same three amigos - who have always profited from the tournaments or cash games - will again be staying at the four-bedroom "Poker House" as early as February ~2 until around Valentine's Day. We have room for one more - a driver so that we will have two cars between February 5-11.
Roll Call:
1) PocketsTwos
2) Loose Goose
3) Bingo Buddy
4) -ANTE RIVER- (Feb. 9-12)

Anyone else with good results in tourneys or cash games.
1) Met my only poker goal for 2017 - bag chips at playground (need to update to bag chips on successive days, lol)
2) Amazing to watch pros and semi-pros to read and learn the lines they are taking live, in 60 minute levels with no "TV edits"
3) Great to get into the poker mind set for a 10 - 12 hr session, to stay patient, avoiding mistakes and make moves when all the signals are there
4) Even though I lost a few key flips on day 2, I look at this as my misfortune, but know that had things went the other way, I can go deeper, much deeper in these events with the right mind set
5) Maybe the most important, I was comfortable, even after buying directly in, to not play 'scared' - once I have chips, the buy-in could have been $100 - the price didn't matter - if you don't have that mindset, you can't succeed.
Cheers and GL to all those playing in Niagara!

I played in the tournament on saturday as well. I had a 60k stack by the time the blinds hit 400/800 and a new player sat at my table with almost exactly as much as me.
A few hands later, I'm on the big blind and he 4x raises the button. Small blind folds, I call to defend with 55.
Flop comes A35 rainbow. I bet about 1/3 of the pot, he raises to 4500 I call.
Turn comes another ace. And here's where it all went bad...
I bet, he shoves, I snap him and he shows ace 3.
I should have realized he wasn't shoving trips there
