Hi everyone,

Life sometimes takes a different direction than the one you have planned.
With this, I'm sorry to say that my father fell Friday night and broke his hip. He is to go an operation any time now. Unfortunately his body, heart might not make it during the operation.

I will not be able to be at my best, therefore, I will not be playing on Sunday and putting the money back in the pot. This will mean that we've all made a profit, little but at least we are positive.

I will get back to you later with the rap up
Again I'm sorry

Hey man, take all the time away you need, I hope everything turns out well, but yeah, your first priority is family.

This was a fun run against the SCOOP, but you have much more to be worrying about right now. Good luck with healing.

Sorry to hear about your father's mishap and hope the surgery goes smoothly.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

It's was fun to rail you during this scoop and congrats on a great job, especially with all the times I saw your premium hands take a beating (I'd hazard a guess that those hands during this series performed well below expectation).

Sorry to hear about Sand Sr, Sand... hope all goes well... We stand by and respect ur decision. Great run throughout the SCOOP series. Thoughts wid U and Urs.

I'm sorry to hear about your father. I hope the surgery goes smoothly. We all stand behind your decision.

all the best to ur dad and ur family man!!

Take care of yur Dad,, being there for him will give him extra strength to help through this.

Epic cashing run in the Scoop this year, good job in tourneys full of good players.
Very well done, I had fun play railing with you in some games

Family first, theres always more poker games everyday,,,, Peace

I hope your Dad is okay,take care..j

Hope everything goes well for your dad sand. Thank you for bringing me along on you scoop journey it was a blast.

Sorry to hear about your dad hope every thing goes smooth and he is up and about quickly with no problems.


great job with scoop.

Forget everything else and take care of your dad Trap. There will always be another poker tournament but you only get 1 dad.

Hope everything turns out well.

take care of dad sand and i hope every think turns out fine

First, I would like to thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers. The operation was yesterday and went well. They couldn't put him under because of his heart condition, so they did an epidural. Now will come the hard task of getting him to walk again. Because of his Alzymer condition being advance, the brain to leg coordination might not be very obvious. The important thing is that he's still with us.

Now for a bit of poker. I will post later tonight the final results and the share amounts with a final thought on the 2012 SCOOP. Money will also be sent tonight or at the latest tomorrow. Gee I really missed playing the ME, especially with that structure (15,000 chips and 20 minute levels.

Again Thank You All

so glad it went well sand, please get some rest dude, no need to rush on anything,

effer

i now how mutch you wear looking forword to playing that one but you had a great scoop glad youre dads op went well . gl with youre poker sand and gl to youre dad now take care of him sand and get him back on is feet. its going to be slaw but you can do it all the best.

Glad to hear the first step went well, now hopefully for a recovery without problems.

As for SCOOP, you were on a damn good run. Last few days might not have felt like it, but that's how these things go. Ran into some ugly ugly beats and nasty card droughts that you just can't do anything to avoid. You played great and if you do anything like this again, I'm going to be in for it every time.

Glad to hear the operation went well and I hope the next step in your dad's recovery goes smooth. We are very thankful that you included us in your scoop run. You did an amazing job in those tourneys. Just take your time. No need to rush into anything. We all understand.

Sorry to hear about your dad Sand. Family first, always other tourneys. Sorry I was away for the weekend, so just found out now. prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. Take care and let us know how things are going.

Hey everybody,

Here are my final thoughts on this 2012 SCOOP

This was my second year doing this and I must say, I found it easier and less stressful than last year. My first goal was to come out even and my second was to make $20,000 so I could go to the WSOP ME. I guess that one will have to wait. Personally, I'm very satisfied with my results (not necessarily the cash) I did have a ITM percentage of 38.46% (10 out of 26) and a ROI of 47% (excluding the last 3 tournaments).

If I do decide to do this again, there's two thing that I'll need to improve on and that's the limit games and the turbo games. You can have the best hand in limit pre flop, post flop and lose on the river, because some @#$%^& wanted to see if they could catch. Well, that's poker. As for turbo, being a "nit", I would have to change my game and add a few more opening hands, but again, since it's turbo and you don't have that much time to build your stack, gambling is a must. So again, if I do decide to play theses, I'll need to adjust or not play them.

I would like to thank all those that staked me. I really appreciated your trust and hope to see you again, if there is one...

I would also like to thank and this is a small word, all those in the Tank1 that were there every single day, to rail me, encourage me, countdown to ITM, countdown to next level and share my pain when I would get a bad beat. I enjoyed every single minute of it.

To all those that did rail me in silence or railed my hourly description of my games in the forum, I thank you

Hope you all enjoyed watching or reading this Scoop and who knows, maybe there will be a next time
