The value of a buck.

Here is a good article, on pocketfives.com, related to the value of a buck.

Greg Raymer wins WCOOP #6 on Poker Stars.
September 18, 2007The big guy with the dinosaur glasses did it again, and won a World Championship of Online Poker Event #6, the pot limit omahi w/rebuys event on Poker Stars. There was no report if he actually wore the glasses during the event.
Apparently when the two final players, Raymer and the chip leader O.Mustang, made it heads up they tried to negotiate a chip deal. While the terms of the attempted deal are not available, all we know is no deal was struck. O.Mustang ended up refusing the ‘unfair’ deal, and also ended up taking second. Oh well, gg.
Other results and cashes:
1. Greg ‘FossilMan’ Raymer $168,362.40
2. O.Mustang $97,022.40
3. MrSmits $64,919.40
4. rutasasha $49,938.00
5. -db- $40,663.80
6. PlayaAAK8 $32,103.00
7. Rsa87 $23,542.20
8. Rage Of Fury $15,694.80
9. Oswaldo $9,274.20

Marc Ecko is Crazy (and Cool)
September 17, 2007Marc Ecko makes clothes. He has also made a name for himself with spectacular clutter breaking stunts. His latest involves the ‘democratization of the barry bonds debate’.
He paid 750k+ for the Hank Aaron Record Breaking Homerun ball, and is now giving you, the people, the voice to decide what to do with it. Either:
A: Give to Cooperstown and put in the Hall of Fame,
B: Brandish it with an asterisk and then do A. or
C: Launch it into outer space.
Personally, PROP votes for C.

for two pair, but Obrestad has top set with 
. The turn is the

Poker Health Tip – Control Your Tilt
September 10, 2007Often while playing online, we come across those individuals that completely ‘lose’ it at the table – cursing, beraiding others for their ‘bad’ play, moaning about all the bad luck they have, etc. You know the type. We have a recommendation for them: either a: move down in limits so it isn’t so painful, or b: quit playing all together.
Neither choice is all that appealing to someone stuck a few hundred or a few thousand at a time, but it is a necessary choice. Playing successful poker requires a calm emotional state – to think clearly about the game – at a higher level than the ‘average’. Generally, playing successful poker will result in you getting ‘sucked out on’ more often than you do it to someone else. So don’t let that next unlucky hand set you off.
It all hinges on being able to put it all in perspective. Read the rest of this entry »

iPhone price drops $200 – so what.
September 6, 2007This stuff happens all the time, in a variety of industries. Take the automobile for example – every month, manufacturers come out with a slew of incentives from consumer to dealer/sales people to motivate the market to buy now. The next month, invariably, the incentives get better, on a product that is now one month closer to extinction.
So all you iPhone early adopters out there that are pissed – well, sorry. Next time, don’t be so damn cool right off the bat. Note: As an aside, I think the iPhone is a cool toy, with neat features that I don’t need just yet as I find my T-mobile Dash to be durable, efficient, and easy to use.

WSOP Coverage on ESPN needs work.
September 6, 2007The coverage this year seems to be similiar to years past, but ESPN should start consulting with poker players to see what information we want to keep track of while watching.
There should be regular estimates of # of players remaining, better chip counts at featured tables, current average chip stack, current leaderboards, time remaining in the level, what the next level’s blinds/antes are, and more featured tables – more hole cams – for example at the end of Day 2 during the WSOP ME Gus Hansen was Read the rest of this entry »
