I cant imagine very much post flop play happening. Think I'll pass on this one.


BTW- check raising or reraising "script" players at the cash game worked out VERY well for me yesterday. I think I only had to fold one hand (ie get rereraised) out of 12 when I reraised a what seemed like a Cbet. Close to an average of 20-25 bucks won for everytime I did that. Trick is not to be scared to throw in 30-45 bucks on top of a 10-15 cbet.

you're welcome! with your rather solid ability to read players, i imagine you could make a lot of scratch with that move in the long-run.

i'd like to sit at the same table as you in AC...I wonder if you are as talkative there as at the home games

Almost as talkative. I do that for several reasons.


1) I'm a yapper to begin with and Im having fun.

2) I gain info by how a player talks backs to me, or what he says or how he reacts to my talking.

3) I can sometimes convince weaker players to call me when I think I have the stronger hand or conversely get them to fold when Im bluffing. (I actually had a player who I didnt know admit to me at the last tournament that he was going to fold his pair of aces with weak kicker against my trip 8's until I talked him into calling.)

Drawback of course includes that I am giving information to stronger players.

The main event should be starting now, wish I was there playing.

Cards are in the air as of about 5 mins ago.

160 tables with 10 seats each translates to 1600 players- if thats the same for all 4 days then theyll be 6400 players this year- a definite drop from last year, but not as bad as I thought it would be. If Barney Frank can ever get legislation passed and signed then we wont see 10K players until then.

First Bad Beat Story of the Main Event

Hope you can keep your lunch down after reading this. Player has Aces, raises to 300. Player on the button has A K , pops it to 1,200. First player re-raises to 4,000, guy with Big Slick goes all-in. And of course the player with aces calls.

The flop? All clubs. Player with A K flops the nut flush and the player with Aces is the first player knocked out of the 2007 World Series of Poker. That'll be $10,000, please.

Hahaha, I'd hate to be the aces guy.

Don't they give the first guy out a free entry into the next year's ME or something at least?

So brutal.

But he wasnt the first guy out, the 1st guy out was another guy whose aces were cracked to a flush. (but they got the money in on the flop)

Most notable regular twoplustwo forum guy playing today is Steven Paul Ambrose, I think...he won a WPT event for a million bucks a year or two ago. Some others playing including Jonathan Little (FieryJustice)...Andrew Brokos (Foucault).

Little is currently sharing a table with Dagostino.

The what was he thinking moment of the day:

Early Departure for Chris Reslock

On a board of Q:c: K:d: 7:d: Chris Reslock checked under-the-gun, the player on the button pushed all-in for 8,300 and Reslock called. Resolck was on a diamond draw with 8 9:d: against K:c: Q:c: for two pair. But there was no diamond for Reslock when the A:s: A:c: came. Reslock will have to wait another year for his chance at the World Champion gold bracelet.

Article is clearly wrong as there are 2 Q:c:'s in play. Maybe it was a spade? Even still, calling an all in with PLENTY of play left with 8300 in chips on a flush draw, no overs and only runner runner low end straight possibilities seems very foolish.

Well, the updates doesn't provide Reslock's stack size or the preflop action, so it's impossible to judge if it was as retarded as it sounds.

apparently there is some major donkage going on at AC right now...friend just reported to me he cashed out at 2K at 1/2 after 5 hours at the Taj. He sat with 250, so that's 1950 profit

The donks show up in the summer during vacation time at AC. I try to get down there as much as possible during this time, which isnt often enough.

Hey, does anyone know where some razz games are in AC? I know Borgata has one but I'm not sure of the limits? I can't play 200-400 or crap like that. Anything low?

From Day 1B:

Bad Beat Jackpot

Board:
8 J 8 7 3

On the river, a player with 8-8 goes all in and Gene Strickland with 9 10 calls. The player shows quads, but Strickland has the turned straight flush and busts the poor player. Strickland is up to 180,000.

OUCH

Also from Day1B (strange stuff happening):

An extremely interesting hand just occurred at table 61. The dealer laughingly announced "Four all ins and four calls on table 61!!" There was quite a commotion at the table throughout the process but this is what it looked like when the dust settled...

Player 1: A A
Player 2: A A
Player 3: K K
Player 4: 10 10

Community Cards: 5 7 6 4 3

With a straight on the board, the players chopped the pot. They all had a good laugh about it, including Hoyt Corkins, who wasn't in the hand, but still seemed mildly amused. It's probably safe to say he's seen something like this before.
