1000 bad beats later

and I get to lay one that's worthy of a post:



This was from tonights 40K. I busted 40th or so, but this was the hand of the day.

High stakes madness

Noooooo, not from me!  LOL.....Here was the highlight of my poker weekend.....it came while I was killing time waiting for the Mrs. to get ready to go out...so I was at a micro cash table:

I was perusing through the high-stakes table recaps on CR, and so this gem:

Thats right....it's a 1 million dollar chip!  The action among these guys has been unreal.  If I get bored, I'll post some hands, that wil leave you saying WTF!. 

One hand I saw, had Durr calling a 6 figure river bet with top 2, where the original better had 4 high!  pretty insane stuff!  

Durrr has had a great year, up 4 million for the year.  And he's not alone, there's a handful of other sharks profiting well over 7 figures.  Leading that pack is Phil Ivey....up about 7 Mil.  If he isn't the greatest poker player on the planet, I don't know who is.  

So as you can see, all of our little money at the bottom bubbles up, and wind's up in these dude's BR.  That's a fact.

Happy Halloween!

Doom switch is on

Yup....nothing is going right on Fulltilt.  I have been getting outdrawned in the most spectacular fashion....so much so, that I decided to fire up PokerStars.  Now, the main reason I don't play on Stars, is that they don't offer rakeback.  I understand from some, that they believe their VIP program is good enough.  I've never done my homework on this subject, but at any rate, with FullTilt on major doom, I fired up Stars yesterday.  Low and behold, I still had 13 bucks in the acct.

I was perusing and found these:

 At least to me, these are new SNG's, which are double or nothing.  Basically, they are 10 handed SNG's, and if you finish top 5, you win double your buyin, minus rake.  Long story short, I played about 20 of these, starting with the $10 dollars, all the way up to the $104 dollars.  Now I don't know if Stars has the 'oh he's back' switch, but I 'won', 17 out of the 20.  

That tallied up to over 5 bills, so I guess I'll keep plugging.  Give them a try, if your an experience SNG player, making top 5 isn't that hard!

FTP Million

Satellited in on the first Super Turbo, which was nice.  

I managed to survive into the money, once again being as card dead as one can be.

As you can see in the right table, Sprstoner is still in.  Good luck to him.
