Ebook Update

Here is a sneak peek of a section of my Ebook that I hope to have for sale soon.  Thanks for your patience.  Tony

Welcome to Atlantic City, faded seaside resort city and east coast Vegas, want to be. Playground to every jet setter, high roller, high stakes Poker playing smuck, sleazebag and little old grey haired lady trying to get a piece of the gamblers dream to make that one big score. This is my territory; my name is Frank Vagola, Atlantic City P.I. I’m an ex-cop from the New York suburbs of Ridgefield Park New Jersey.  After putting in my 20 years of service to qualify for a full pension I retired from the police force.  Things were getting too corrupt for my liking anyway.   Also New Jersey Policies were starting to get to me.  Over time we public servants have lost any amount of respect from the public, we are paid to serve.  Being there have been many scandals involving crooked cops I see why this is.   These days I spend my time in private practice as a private investigator, have an office above my garage in a small house I rent in Absecon New Jersey.  It’s not glamorous but it pays the bills and keeps me out/in trouble on a daily basis.  Mostly spend my time following cheating spouses around to motels alone the major highways of New Jersey.  Speaking of which I have lived in my whole life and intend on dying here too.

 If you tell people, from other parts of the country, that you are from New Jersey they make some bad joke by stating, “Oh yea, which exit”?  This  joke is referring to the fact that Route 95, called the New Jersey Turnpike, is the main road most people associate with our great state.  The reason for this is that the Newark airport is located on the New Jersey Turnpike.  Also that area is full of many chemical plants that emit bad smells and tons of pollution into the atmosphere.  So when people are driving or getting driven out of the airport they pass through this area and it makes a bad first impression on them.  We all know how hard it is to change a bad first impression of anything.  This is why it’s so important for restaurants to look clean and well maintained on the outside.  If it looks bad from the outside people won’t even give it a chance. So New Jersey is like a rundown restaurant that may never get a chance to show off how good their food is being the bad first impression ruins it.  Anyway I have gone off on a tangent about my lovely state of New Jersey back to the story of how I almost got killed investigating another routine case of a couple getting intimidated by mobsters they owed money too.   So I thought it was going to be another easy routine case for me.  I didn’t know what I was getting myself involved with for this case until it was almost too late.

Carbon MTT Update

I little more than Min-cashed in my MTT on Carbon yesterday.  I'll take an 11th out of 120 players for my first MTT in awhile.  I guess it's like riding a horse, you never forget how to do it.  Think I will start playing them more often.  Good luck at the tables.  Tony

Carbon Poker MTT

I've been itching to play in a live MTT lately.  Today I am doing the 2nd best thing I can.  Playing in a low limit No Limit MTT on Carbon right now.   So far so good, been awhile since I have played in a large field MTT.  It's fun so far, will post later about my results.  Thanks for reading and good luck at the tables.  Tony

Carbon Super Turbos

I've been playing the 6 max super turbos on Carbon lately.   You start with 10 Big Blinds so it's a shove fest from the beginning.  Feel I am playing them really well.  The variance in these is more than most people can stomach.  You can easily loss 10 straight due to bad beats or running into set up hands.   Starting hands of A-K, A-Q, and A-J are auto shoves first in.  Crazy players snap call with J-10 suited or any pair so off to the races you must go. I've been highly profitable at them but just warning to have a strong stomach to play them! Good luck at the tables.  Tony
