There is really no reason to completely rehash all of the stuff about the Full Tilt debacle. Everyone knows MOST of the facts and are familiar with the proceedings. I feel I was privy to things lots of people weren't because my best friend Jack Binion, was interested in buying FT and did a lot of Due diligence. I want to stress that anything I say isn't written in stone and is just my opinion. This is America and everyone can believe what they want.

We are coming up on a year now since we hit Black Friday within the online poker world. Since then, PokerStars has done everything right with regards to its players. In contrast, Full Tilt Poker has been nothing but a black hole of silence. For almost a year now, we have heard nothing from Full Tilt Poker as it continues to imprison a significant portion of funds from the worldwide poker economy.

I started off the year decently with a 5th place finish in the super high roller in Bahamas. Had an all around great time at the PCA, probably the best trip I'd ever had there. I had so much fun that I decided to attend the Aussie Millions for the first time in a long time. Melbourne is a great city. Last two times I went to Australia I spent all my time in Sydney, but I love both cities.

After Black Friday, I became pretty depressed. Some people grinded (ground?) online only for the money, but I really loved it. The thrill of waking up to 25-table on a Sunday for over 12 hours is something I miss more than I can express.
