Just 96 more people to fade in a ginormous event, but me having AK and 7 laps of chips left and the other guy having AA and a fat stack meant it was just not my day.
I will resist all temptation to post here the emotiocon of a colon followed by an opening parenthesis.
That or the F word.

Doing the MAIN at 7pm today.
Almost finished a proper blog this morning but the hotel kicked me out, mentioning something about a "check out time" clause. Seems they think they own the place.
Whatever.
Going in 7pm well rested and fully ridiculous. Ready to start the main event at Harrah's.

MONDAY!!!!
Nothing happened. Going to play cash and savor a concoction known as "alcohol."
Will play fourth $355 tomorrow or Wednesday.
Fascinating, no?
Will play fourth $355 tomorrow or Wednesday.
Fascinating, no?
Sunday report
How shall I put this, backers? We are now 0/2. Made it to dinner break in today's $355, then played for an hour or so past that, when soon thereafter my "tens" ran into someone's usually impenetrable brick wall known as "Aces," at which time the balance of my chips hit the "zero mark." 60 people away from the money. Not even nearly close enough. 345 people or so started this one. It happens. Three shots left to get you...something. Something above what you've invested. So far each shareholder is now $7 in the hole! Oh the high drama!!!! ;)
May not play tomorrow unless I can get this hotel situation squared away nicely. If I am to once again begin lining up those damn dominoes again at noon, starting all over again from "domino one" and hope I can line them all up and keep them growing until 2am without any major domino destruction train, I want to make sure I'm doing it on a good night of rest. Maybe a house of cards would have been a better analogy here. I don't know. Nah. Too un-clever. Anyway, it's late. Do feel like I'm playing better every day. Truly razor sharp at some moments. Let's see if that can start counting for something sometime soon.
But yeah, I need a room down there in NOLA. This drive back to Biloxi isn't that far, but, then again, it's still three hours a day, and it eats up poker reading time -- keeping my brain just right. Sorry, roommate. You'll have to enjoy stately Landry Manor all to yourself this week...again.
Besides all that, I've been harvesting many ridiculous stories to be properly blogged once it's time for all that. Much entertainment on the way. But for now, sleep, wake up, read poker, play poker.
Goodnight.
I'll keep updates coming. If you see me giving updates on FB tomorrow, then yes, that is your money in play.

Saturday
Not much to report. Played the $565 (first with backers $). Did not make day 2. Blah. Will make it in to Harrah's tomorrow for second backer event (the $355). Blah.
Thursday, May 10, 2012
Teeny tiny update
Backers, it appears the first event I will (hopefully) be able to play will be the Saturday $565 (event #2) as long as I can get there by 1pm. I will play this event (again, hopefully) in lieu of one of the $355 events in the package. This is of a small benefit to you meaning your "vig" has been cut in half to only $2.70 per share while most likely increasing the prize pool just a hair more for you as well. The best deal in poker just got a little bit better. I'll then play three more "$355s" and the $1,600 main with the moneys from this fund. If you haven't paid, you betta step up, before play starts, yo! ;)
Again the blog below shows those who have already paid. Let me know if there are any errors or whatever.
Anyway, hope you are all doing freaking amazing today, and if you're already at Harrah's today or Friday, feel free to give Senor Monkey your share $$$, which he will dutifully pass on to me. Unless he steals it, or orders too many Red Snappers and tips incredibly liberally. Thanks again, and I'll probably update again tomorrow.
BSLL,
K

KaiShares SOLD OUT
Well, well, well. Not a bad run for 24 hours.
Hoped to pick up 35 mini-backers by the end of the week of 1% of my action in five events in New Orleans (including the main)...and those shares sold out in just under 24 hours. As of now, I'm actually a little bit oversold. Not quite as bad as, say, Delta airlines. But, depending on who is able to pay, I figure by the end of the week, I may have sold 50% of my action. Will absolutely not sell more than that though! I still think that would leave me with ten more shares or so I may be willing to sell. So if you're still interested, I may have a few left I can sell you.
Of course, a great scheme would be to oversell way past 100% of myself, deliberately lose, and pocket the remaining money (a la The Producers). Ahhhhh....such easy money if only I were a criminal. Unfortunately for me, I'm listing all of you shareholders down at the end of this blog; as well as the number of shares you bought. And I'll be invested in myself at least 50%.
But being oversold isn't quite the problem it appears due to nature of the beast being that some of you will just simply forget to pay before I get started. No problem immediately, but more on that later.
I think you guys really liked my sales format. Buying just one percent of a player in several tournaments kind of raises your hopes for a return, as opposed to buying just 5% of someone in the main. And I think it was such a small amount ($35) that it's more of a fun sweat than anything...a "sweat" that gets stretched out over several days. Ideally, I could have sold you all 1% of my action in TEN events, but in this short of a series, that's just not feasable. There's ways around it, but if you start making enough "Day 2s," then it gets complicated, as to how to refund money in events you couldn't play in.
Not to mention that over the course of ten tournaments, you get a much better liklihood of a return, with a more fair sample size and all. But we're gonna try do it in five, damnit!!!
Most of all what I aimed to do here was to get some of my readers involved, which was a little more interactive and enjoyable. Hearing from a few (essentially anonymous) people who read my blog (and never leave comments, cough cough) and wanted to buy a piece... or even didn't... was satisfying. Getting interaction from those who enjoy my blog, or crossover readers from Monkey's blog (and sports pools) adds another entertaining dynamic to it. I even have a couple of people backing me who don't even play poker, but want to have something to gamble on/ root for. Cool!
In fact, I believe I'm the only guy going into New Orleans, or any circuit event this year with fifteen backers. HA! I just hope that's not fifteen people to give the "sorry shrug" to at the end of this thing. Hopefully, I get you at least something a little bit above your $35 investment.
Even got a little more educated on this journey. I've never been backed, outside of save/swaps. And I think the only people I've personally ever backed, ever, was Monkey once, a dealer from the Beau Rivage once, and David Nicholson once. Nice non-cash, Nicholson!!! ;)
So when Matthew Stroud starts asking me about my markup and my ITM rate...I'm literally like "huh???"
After he explained "in the money" rate to me, all I could remember was my ITM in the mains. You always remember your main events. I've played ten mains and cashed in 4 ( 1st, a 2d, a 22d and a 24th). I'm sure my ITM in regular events isn't nearly as good as 40% because main events are actually so much easier, as many of you know. I'm also certain my ITM, whatever it is, would be higher if I didn't "swing for the fence" so much. But I like bling and swing hard for it.
Anyway, here's how the KaiShare backer list stands now.
FINAL LIST.
Barth Melius (10) paid
Michael Kmetz (5) paid
Jose Vasquez (2) paid
Matthew Stroud (5) paid
Kristin Deerdorf (1) paid
Michael Schneider (2) paid
Kiki Chase (1) paid
"a reader: 'Angry F****n' Robert' of far Northeast Mississippi" (10) paid
Dan Walsh (2) paid
Eric Cochran (2) paid
Steve Fernandez (3) paid
Corey Souther (3) paid
Mark Shreve (1) paid
Yvonne "Duvernet Parish" Carlisle (2) paid
Clay Dedeaux (5) paid
Jimmy Dotson (1) paid
This is for (4) $355 events and (1) main event. IF you send money via PayPal, be sure to go to "send money" --> to --> amount --> then hit the "personal tab" instead of purchase. It should spare us any PayPal fees. Just please try to pay before play begins for me so there's no confusion. I'll have a final tally of who's in/ out before my first tournament.
Lastly, I may not be able to start on Thursday or Friday due to the very recent passing of my favorite uncle. I am very honored that he requested me to be one of his pallbearers at his service on Saturday. So, not quite the place for this news at all, however I will simply and briefly say that he will be incredibly missed by us all. He was fortunate to live a long, rich life with kids, grandkids and great grandkids. Hopefully, we'll all be that lucky in our personal lives. We're still waiting to hear the details of his services, and this will determine on what day I can begin play. Possibly Thursday or Friday, most likely Sunday. Will let you all know. Thanks.

KaiShares AVAILABLE ONCE AGAIN! BE A 1%ER!
Be in the 1 percent! Don't be a 99%er!
So, the New Orleans WSOP-C is right around the corner, and yours truly is looking gleefully towards it. Hungry for final tables, more cash, more rings, more blood, more victories.
Hungry.
However you add it up, roughly thirteen days of poker in the Crescent City.
And I've decided to open up my services to the general public. Just a little bit. Quite simply put, it's the best deal in poker.
Let's call it "OPERATION: OCCUPY KAI'S PANTS."
Let's call it "OPERATION: OCCUPY KAI'S PANTS."
 |
| Can you imagine the smell of these "99%ers?" Ughhh! |
One percent at a time.
This is a limited time offer. (drumroll)
$35 buys you 1 percent of Kai's action in the WSOP-C New Orleans May 10-21, 2012.. This will be for 1% of ALL my action in (4) $355 events and one $1600 main event.
For those of you who are skilled in the art of mathematics, you will notice that this earns me a whopping $5 profit for each shareholder. Since the buy in for all these (five) events adds up to $3,020 and I'm charging $35 for each 1% share.
Essentially, in these five events, I'm looking to play with $1,795 of my own money and $1,225 of KaiShare holders money (35 shares at $35 each).

"I am a 1%er!!!" Yes, friends, that can be your chant to the unbathed, quasi-militant, malcontent, dusgruntled Jacobin mutant-comrades and their zombie like quest for "free love."
 |
| This angry mob is protesting that "KaiShares is too good of a deal!!!" |
Say it loud and say it proud to the 99%ers as you adjust your monocle pompously! "I am a winner. And you are a loser. For I backed Kai in a 1% stake of his 2012 New Orleans WSOP series. Behold, sir, for you live in a commune of dead ideals and live in a trailer with your eleven kids in need of orthrodontic care and a wife who looks like Tom Petty. Go back to your 99% of dissent, sorrow, and ingratitude."
I'll now proceed with the rest of this KaiShares presentation in a question and answer forum.
Q n A forum.
I don't know about all this. I kind of feel like gambling is a sin.
You're right, astute reader! Gambling is a probably a sin. Next question.
Can I buy more than one KaiShare?
Sure you can, eager reader. But be aware that Kai does not wish to sell more than thirty-five KaiShares for these five events in New Orleans. I wish to play with 60% of my own money.
Hey, I looked at the WSOP-C schedule in New Orleans, and there's like twelve ring events. How come you're only letting people buy in for four $355 events and one $1600 main event?
Good question, reader. It's because I'm giving myself room to make a few "day twos," which overlap into the next event. Also, I'm planning on a good run in the main, which overlaps the last two events. To answer your next question, I'll be posting here on this blog ahead of time (probably a day ahead of time) precisely which events I'll be playing with your investment. It's possible I may play more events with money outside of KaiShares shareholders investments but this would be posted ahead of time in this blog. All that being said, I'll certainly be playing event #1, event #6 (the six handed max event), and the main event with KaiShare holders money, with another $355 event TBD.
What happens if you win the main event?
 |
| Absolutely the wrong way to deal with the "burning building" problem |
Well what do you think happens, stupid? You get paid 1% of that amount. If the main event victory is $200,000, and Kai wins it, then you get $2000. Plus whatever I gross, if anything, in the three smaller tourneys.
I live in Brazillian slum known as a "favela." Sometimes father throws me out in the street to beg for spare change. Can I buy KaiShare for cheaper?
No. Hard work breeds character. Maybe sell some pencils. Don't be a hippie and beg. Maybe learn ultimate fighting skills and get out of the ghetto. Isn't that what you Brazilians do? Or become trannys? Look, I'm getting off track here...it's only a $35 investment and even you international people can pay through PayPal. Just do a person to person transaction and there's no fee!
 |
| Oh, shit...did we just burn down Harrah's? |
I've done the math on this and it looks like even if you dont cash, you'll still make $175 from your "1% backers."
 |
Um, let's not, and you go home and occupy your bathtub, hippie.
|
Yep. That's right. Big profit. Goodbye mortgage. Goodbye overseas paternity lawsuit from Bangkok street walker. Also, I can buy my way to the front of the line in the "liver recipient" list. All the problems in my life solved. Oh, wait, no...I'm also investing $1795 in myself for this series. Looks like I better cash.
So, if I buy one KaiShare you would need to gross $3600 in wins for me to receive a profit, right? But if you only gross, like, $1700 in wins I'd sitll get $17 back right?
Yes and yes. All very simple math. If I cash $10,000, you get $100. If I cash $50,000, you get $500. No makeup, no weird percentage splits, just simple 1% = 1% in these events.
What's the endgame for your hair?
That's my secret.
How can I pay you? And why are you so awesome?
Let's just say I'm doing this for people who read my blog and want to gamble vicariously. It's fun for everyone. I'd like to make some readers and friends some money if I can. If you want to play, it's $35.
Do you run good in New Orleans?
Yes.
