Turning Stone

    About a month ago my new backer asked me if I wanted to play some events at Turning Stone Casino outside of Syracuse, NY. I said absolutely and immediately went back to doing whatever I was doing, thinking that the chances of the trip coming to fruition were very low.

    A month later I was playing in the Empire State Poker Championships. My tournament results were not what I was hoping for, to say the least, but the trip as a whole was a great experience. The five Flux team members that attended the events ( the 2 gentlemen that run things and 3 horses) got along fantastically but couldn't be from more different upbringings.

    With that said, I'll take this opportunity to describe our team to the best of my abilities. These descriptions will only be brief intros but will give you an idea of how contrasting the personalities were.

    In the aforementioned group of five we had: an ex-Starcraft nerd (you're still my boy, Dino), a talented bowling coach from Bermuda, a man who I call my friend but is simply indescribable, a hard-dancing Canadian, and me. I'm completely normal, obviously.

    I think I speak for everyone when I say it was good times all around.  Our results weren't as mind-blowingly good as we had hoped but I think we learned a ton and are all encouraged moving forward. Furthermore, our backers were treating this trip somewhat like a promotional trip for Flux so none of the buy-ins would have gone to makeup anyway. It would be kind of hard to complain about a freeroll...


    I'm re-learning turbos this week so interesting post-flop situations will be tough to come by. But I do plan on posting some interesting spots as they come up and talking a bit more about Turning Stone and my upcoming poker trips. Glgl.
