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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
