Last Week Before Work

Man LFISGD,

Just out at my cabin on the lake enjoying this amazing weather! My last weekend of R and R before heading down to Vegas. I hope to get there by June 3rd, and work my ass off for 2 straight months.

See ya soon.

Brad

WOW! IT'S BEEN TOOOO LONG

Hey everyone,

Just noticed how long it's been since I've made a post here. I promise it won't happen again!

Things are good up here in Vancouver, we just finished playing in the inagural WPT Coast to Coast Poker Championship, featuring Gavin Smith and yours truly. The tourney went of great, and all the staff at the River Rock Casino Resort did an absolutely outstanding job.

So now I'm getting ready to go down for this year's WSOP. I plan on being in Vegas from the start of June and, unlike other years, I plan on playing in as many events as possible.

High Stakes Poker 3

We're just a few episodes away from my appearance on HSP3... should be good, so watch the show!

I will have a post here soon about the Fiesta al Lago tourney, so come back soon!

UPDATE: I am currently playing in the WPT North American Poker Championships in Niagra Falls, Ontario. I finished Day 1b 4th in chips, and start Day 2 in 16th place (because there were a lot of huge stacks that finished in Day 1a) and we'll see how today goes.

Go Canada!

UPDATE 1pm, Oct 27th: Brad just doubled through another player, and is now sitting in 6th place with 192,000 chips. Here is the hand:

On a flop of Qh8h6d Seat 5 bet 20k and Brad Booth pushed in for 91k. Seat 5 called and the players showed:

Brad Booth 10h9h
Seat 5 AdAs

The turn and river came Js9s and Booth took down the pot with a straight to double up.

First post

Hi there! Welcome to my web log where I hope to share:
  • some insight as to the life of a professional poker player
  • my current whereabouts
  • where I'm playing either live or online
  • coming events that I'm involved in
So, to start on this endevour let me tell you that I'm currently on hiatus from Las Vegas and living in downtown Vancouver where I'm playing online at Full Tilt Poker under the name LFISGD. You can usually find me in the $1000/$2000 limit Hold'em or Omaha games or $200/$400 NLHE.

This month, I'll return to Las Vegas to play at the Bellagio's Fiesta al Lago tournament and the daily cash games. I'll also be playing in season 3 of High Stakes Poker.

Canadian Poker Player magazine is having me on the cover of November or December's issue, and will include the start of a series of articles about how I started my poker career and some of the amazing people and places I've been exposed to as a result.

In November, I will be playing in the BC Poker Championships held at the River Rock Casino here in Vancouver. It looks like I will be featured on the promotional poster along with two VERY well known poker pro's who are coming up from Vegas to play in the event as well. As soon as I have further confirmation, I'll let you know who they are.

That's it for now!
