This tournament will always have rough fields because of all the bounties, but our table was particularly nasty. I started the day with Gavin Smith two to my left and Steve Brecher (last year's winner) on his left. No one else at the table was a real slouch either. At one point we have Smith and Brecher, Gavin Griffin, Mike Matusow and Jesus Ferguson at the table all at once. All but Griffin were at the table for mostof the day. The Mouth didn't like it when I put him to the test on the river in hour 6 and actually made a formal declaration of war on the whole table...

Tue, 23 Feb 2010 06:50:54 -0500 The guy in seat 2 http://www.pokerxfactor.com/problog/view/100471/?t=pxf In no particular order, I have compiled a list of the reasons I did not screw with the guy in seat two. 1. He weighs more than I do and very little of that is fat. I think most of that weight is actually volcanic rock. The forearms as big as my legs were a bit intimidating too. 2. He has a tattoo on his face. In Minneapolis this means you are a punk rock kid who made a bad choice. In Central America it has a very different connotation. 3.He has an air about him that says "I killed two CIA operatives in 1994 and they will never find those bodies"4...
