Bye! (Casino Ownage)

noreply@blogger.com (actyper) — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 19:32:00 GMT

A few parting comments before I leave Vegas. Yes unfortunately my time here will be cut way short. Stomach flu or something like that has got me tilted. Can't keep anything in, and don't feel like playing a tournament like this. Wanted to play the Caesars deep stack today, and if I did well would play the main event on Tues. Kinda pissed, I'll only end up playing the one tournament here, and that didn't...

Three percent (StudioGlyphic)

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 18:59:29 GMT

Here’s the silver lining to the whole sluggish economy thing: the interest rate on my Stafford loans have gone from 7.22% to 4.21%. That’s lower than the rate on any of my other debt. It sounds like I can consolidate the two loans and therefore lock in the lower interest rate. For those of you [...]

Checking in at the WSOP Main Event (Party Poker Blog)

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 16:17:00 GMT

Yesterday was a long, long, long day. I was outclassed and out chipped for 99% of the day. And despite running on fumes for almost 13 hours, I somehow survived and ended the day with 38k in chips. So I just woke up, wondering what the hell I'm going to do until I play next on Wednesday. I'll be back soon for a proper writeup.

Pregame Show (Poker Bully)

noreply@blogger.com (Poker Bully) — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 15:13:00 GMT

Pregame Show Since this is the Super Bowl of my poker experience, I thought I would start the pregame 5 hours early. I did not play any poker on Friday. The limits were too high or the wait too long. Yesterday I lost $323 in a 1-2 NL game at the Venetian. Some of the loss was bad luck as I ran top pair into trips 3 different times. Then there was some bad play as I tried to rep a made flush when I...

A debt paid (Katitude does poker)

noreply@blogger.com (katitude) — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 14:25:00 GMT

I rode up to Casino Rama on Friday to meet NutzCarson , and buy him the dinner I owe him for being such a donk at the Monkey Game . Stupid prop bets *grin. The ride up was great, and the sunny warm weather meant that everyone was outside enjoying the day (or working), so I found a seat right away. I'd love to say that I left up, or even that I broke even. But alas, my Alaska fund is lighter by $200,...

Poisonous (Poking and Peaking)

noreply@blogger.com (pokerpeaker) — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 14:05:00 GMT

People say things all the time they don't mean. "We should get together." "Call me." "No, you don't look fat in that." They're ways to close out a conversation or survive a talk with your spouse. So I was skeptical when Rikki Rockett from Poison said after my interview for the Greeley Tribune that, "I should come backstage and say hi," I figured it was just something to say. But I did something I usually...

Go Iggster! According to chip counts he's around starting stack size and will therefore need to make some moves early in Day 2B. The blinds will be 250/500/50a when he next plays on Wednesday. One time dealer! For all the midgets!

I rarely play MTTs anymore and less poker than I used, but don't you get bummed when you play hours and hours only to bust just prior to the final table?

Conk or Donk? You decide (Everything Has A Limit)

pbirks@btinternet.com — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 08:05:02 GMT

Here was an interesting snippet from Day 1a of the Silly-Fest in the Rio. One coup that caught the eye was between Maya Antonius and some random player in late position who made it 1,200 to go. Patrik’s missus called from the big blind and the flop came down Ts 3h 2s. Maya check-calls when the LP player bets. Same action on the turn which bought the Qs. The river was the 9d and Maya Antonius checked...

Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu was on hand this afternoon in the Rio to sign autographs and meet the public. He busted early yesterday but was still a huge hit among the weekend crowds at the World Series, as our spy in the Champions Lounge confirms: If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I might never have believed it.
