Bodog Ari

I'm Ari Engel and am also known as BodogAri online. I've played poker for a living for virtually my entire post-college life.

August

Things have going really well for me recently (no evil eye please). Last week I managed to chop the Sunday 100R with JoeyTheB a very good player (and good person) from Jersey who plays alot in Atlantic City and online.

I'll be going next week to the WPT Bike tourney in LA, so basically the goal is to be on your TV sets in about 6 months, one tiiiiime.

In very recent developments, I've been getting killed in Full Tilt tournaments this month, having had no nl holdem wins this month and a very low itm%. I've never had the success I've had at other sites on FTP, but this has taken it to a new low, any advice is appreciated!

On Stars since the big chop things have been relatively "meh" too. I did however manage to cash in 4 straight tournaments for the first time over the last 2 days. As noted in earlier posts that doesnt do much for my profitability but is an interesting note. Edit: Let it be known these small swings while "depressing" do not get me to down, I realize it's gonna happen. (Ok in theory they don't get me down, I know I'm "supposed" to not be upset about them, of course that is not always the way I act...)

I did an interview the other day with "Cardplayer TV" (TV being a little deceptive in this case as I did the interview by phone.) Here is the link.

Speaking of live poker, Internet legend/celebrity TheWacoKidd is currently 2nd for the year on Cardplayer's player of the Year race. I really want to wish him good luck, and I hope he can get a couple more good scores in this year. Helpful hint of the day: If you're at his table avoid at all costs.

More importantly, I hope to write my next blog w/ a WPT win to my name. Then you can all say you read a blog of a WPT champion instead of an "internet donkey".

FTP is a tough place to play because the players seem to be looser. I think it's because of the faster rounds (although slower structure) people tend to be very aggressive.

I also see an unreasonably high number of flush flops (Flush Tilt Poker) and many more people playing suited anything and hitting.

I wish I had a way to crunch some numbers on these flush flops and four flush boards, but I am not sure how to go about doing it just yet.

Good Luck & Shalom Ari. Here' to seeing you on TV in 6 months.
