Odds Smodds!

In the last 5 post, I have blogged about a Royal Flush, a straight Flush, and multipe quads.  All within a short period of hands, way over the frequency that these should be popping up.  Pretty crazy!

I just folded this hand:

I also had this crazy hand last night, which I luckily won:

I suppose you can say 'its poker'.

NUTS!

Nice flop, eh?

WSOP Main Event Final Table Resumes

For anyone that still gives a hoot, the 2008 WSOP ME champion will be decided today.  Action starts shortly after 10am PST.  

Short stack Shamus has a nice review of the players.

EDIT: ME Champion will be decided today.  The infinite wisdom that is Harrah's and the WSOP postponed the tournament when it got heads up, and will resume tonight at 1opm PST.  Come to think of it, winner may not be decided until tomorrow! 

For those who still care, it will be Peter Eastgate vs Ivan Demidov.  You can follow the live action on the WSOP site.

407 to 1

Those are the odds of flopping quads, when holding a pocket pair in Holdem.  Of course, good ole FullTilt Employee #45, laugh's and mocks odds, all day long!

From the same SNG, and within 11 hands or so:

Royalastic pot!

3 Final Tables

Well, first of all, this is my 200th post. So I'm particularly happy that it coincides with what I hope is a turn around in my fortunes on the felt.

My first final table came in a Heads-up tournament. My first opponent was Mr Aaron Bartley:



Not to brag, but I've got a drawer full of Fulltilt shirts busting good ole Aaron. This time was no different. I was able to dispose of him in 7 hands. We traded for the first 6, then this was the first 'big' hand:



I probably would shove to his lead on the flop, regardless of the pair, as he's c-betting there 95% of the time. Then this was 2 hands later, and he was done:



After him, I played 3 more matches, and was able to take it down:



My 2nd Final table came in the 9K $5 rebuy. I unfortunately finished in 6th. My key hand, was my bustout hand:



My final final table came in the Mook. There was an added prize of a FTOPS seat hanging on this one, thanks to Al.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get past Columbo's might Presto, as I called his UTG shove with JJ.



Here was the final results:

A win is a win

I bricked my way to victory last night, in what turned out to be a SKILLZ 6 blogger SNG.  I still enjoy playing the blogger events, although other than the Mookie, participation is low.  Speaking of the good ole Mook:

An added prize to the winner tonight, a seat to FTOPS Event #24.  Hope to see you all there.
