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.

We got 15 players to put up $25,000 each for this years WSOP Fantasy Auction Draft at Aria Casino. Aria hooked us up big time, with a full bar and an excellent room for the draft, complete with a projector screen. The draft works like this: each team gets 200 to spend on 8 players. A player is nominated, then goes to the highest bidder. So if you want Phil Ivey, you would have had to spend 108 of your 200 bankroll to get him, leaving you just 92 left to fill out the rest of your team.
