WSOP 2006 Main Event Free Video Archive

Hi Everyone,

My first offering here comes at the expense of a 50 FTP tournament to win a $26 satellite token, all in and out within 5 minutes, stupid move because I was distracted and not thinking, as is sometimes is the way with poker. (I’ve got to remember how much I played to get the chance to buy in, it’s not a freeroll heh!)

Anyway if you now go to the ‘Media‘ Section of this blog above, you will start to see the 2006 WSOP Main Event YouTube Master List. I’ve spent the last month and some watching World Series of Poker Main Events (2006-2008 so far) I found watching on YouTube fine except for all the searching, different and incomplete versions as well as inconsistently titled episode ‘parts’. So I’ve started compiling my master list, linking to YouTube to the versions I’ve found to work the Master List. This way you can open up each part in order without having to search a single word on YouTube.

This is just one of thing I’ve be obsessively compiling on this blog. I intend now as I go through each WSOP (or any other poker tournament I may find of interest) and I will list them as I watch. This makes the ‘cataloguing’ easier to do as it’s only  ‘a bit at a time’ and I can do it ahead of each episode, so it makes the process of watching easier for me too :)

Anyway, time to wind down for the night (still steaming a bit after that 50 freeroll). However I made over $11 on a ring game in 40 minutes (and I was down $8 at one point) thanks to a pair of pocket 9′s that held up winning me a pot of over $36; the most I’ve made recently as I’ve been timid and playing penny poker instead of dollar poker. So can’t complain over all for one night’s work.

Anyway enjoy watching the WSOP 2006 Main Event. I won’t spoil it for you by telling you who won, for those who don’t know :)

Hello World!

In General News, Passion for Poker on July 5, 2009 at 11:51 am

Welcome to Passion for Poker! This site may seam a bit empty right now but this has been one of those ideas that has just occurred to me when I have little actual time to work on it. However, I want to give you a idea of what to expect here shortly. (If you want to sign up to the RSS when I launch click here)

I know that poker will be with me the same way writing and computers will probably always factor in my life. I’ve only been playing poker about 18 months but it’s enough to notice the signs of a new passion forming. Therefore I’m writing the story, whatever happens, whatever I learn I will try to share as much of it as I can here. Also as I watch or read something relating to poker I’ll link this content here with reviews when I can. This also provides a platform to share any tools I might generate for poker as well.

I’ve needed something like this to focus my writing and webbing in a new fun direction. Poker is good for me because it’s a way of letting off steam by playing, balancing my workaholic temperament. Poker gives me something to look forward to at the end of a day or week. Being able to mix this with things I consider to be ‘work’ allows them a new lease of life. I guess what I’m saying is I think I’ve finally found my niche, right here at Passion for Poker!

Check Back Soon,

Niamh Brown
