The sickest hand in High Stakes Poker history
Doyle Brunson is way off talking trash about Jamie Gold and Sam Farha in this hand. Both players played this hand like geniusses — thinking they’re trapping the other guy. Lovely poker, Doyle is getting old.
Guy wanted to be called Daniel Negreanu
I had the funniest day EVER at the pokertable yesterday. Some fool came in with an oversized Toronto Maple Leafs shirt, and about half an hour into the session he starts asking people to actually call him Daniel Negreanu.
He wanted US to call HIM Daniel Negreanu.
Believe me, he wasn’t Daniel Negreanu.
Sick people.
Even worse: one guy actually did call him Daniel Negreanu. Daniel-wannabe cleared him out. After the game I congratulated him on his tactics — he smiled and said: “people think I’m a mental patient, it works”.
Dude should play $100/$200 in stead of $2/$4.
Quad Kings for Phil Ivey
What do you do when you flop quad kings? Well, you try to keep your opponent in the hand and allow him to make the second or third nuts so he will call your big bet on the river…
The commentator of the Aussie Millions doesn’t really understand it I believe (he should go read Sklansky who wrote about this in a couple of his books), but it’s a good check on the flop, and a good just-call on the turn.
Phil Ivey, obviously a poker genius got unlucky that Jerry Fitt knew what he was doing…
And I go and launch my own poker blog…
Okay so a couple friends from my home poker game have all hosted their own poker blog thanks to Nagru.com (the guy that owns the webhost actually plays in the game too, which helps as he set up this blog for me too) — and I’m ready to start talking poker here…
This whole wordpress thing takes some getting used to but I’ll be fine — check back in a couple days for my first updates!
