New Rule Implementation

During Day 1A of the Poker Face Araw ng Dabaw Special Tournament, I was reprimanded during one of the early rounds. I was given a verbal warning by the dealer for standing up from the table, even when I was dealt a card and it was not yet my turn to act.

Given that, (1) I was not around when the tournament began and I was assuming this new rule was announced while I was not around, (2) I understood the logic and rationale of the rule even if it was not explained, and (3) the floor manager/tournament director announced the rule to the room after I was warned, I accepted the verbal warning. I even informed my friends who were going to play in Day 1B regarding the new rule.

8th at the Metro Poker League

WOOHOO!

I now have 2,236.48 points in the Metro Poker League which has garnered me the 8th spot. :) I gained most of my points fter my 10th place wins at both the Poker Face Warm-up and Poker Face Tournaments for January 2010, and my surprise championship at a MegaSatellite tournament.

I am hoping to stay afloat in the Top 20 until the end of March. With this 8th place, I have vowed not to play my own money in cash games, and will continue to try playing at tournaments instead.

Wish me luck! :)
