Try being David Benyamine and losing 100k with the flick of the ever painful river card on Full Tilt. Granted they were playing PLO and the swings can be fun like that 🙂

Related to our post yesterday, you can see an example of a resteal attempt gone wrong @ the final table of the 2007 WSOP. This hand featured a battle in the blinds with SB – Jerry Yang and BB-Lee Watkinson:
Yang raised to 1.5mil with A/9o. He had been the most active player at the table by far, and had a dominating chip lead. Watkinson with A/7o decided he wasn’t going to get run over by the chip leader and thought this was a good spot to steal so he reraised allin for about 8.5mil more.
Under the discussion of restealing from yesterday a good point was made about attempting resteals against very large/very small stacks as they have a higher likelihood of calling because ‘they can/need to gamble’. Read the rest of this entry »

So not only does a franchise manage to lose four straight super bowls in the early 90’s, lose to the Titans in a last second play to kill playoff dreams, and figure a way to lose every other close game in the last seconds – but tonight they found a way to lose after Tony Romo had a 6 turnover day, and was virtually useless.
Bills up by 8, 1:30 to go. Bills driving and in control, in the red zone. Oops! Interception by the rookie T.Edwards (who looked great all game by the way)…taken 70 yards for almost a touchdown. Ok….20 secs to go, still up by 8. Oops, a Dallas touchdown pass…up 2. Go for two…lob it to T.Owens – no good. Ok! Cowboys have to recover the onside kick. They do. Now they have to drive 17 yards to get into field goal territory, in 17 secs. They do. Now they’re rookie kicker needs to hit a 53 yard game winner on the road….he does! Wait…the bills called a timeout…he has to try again. Oh wait, no he makes that one too.
GG Buffalo. It’s painful, but we’re still fans.

Ok, so I’m not sure how I got suckered into watching this movie last night but….DON’T!
The poker playing is laughable, the scenes are predictable, the poker player cameo’s are non-eventful. And to make things worse, Drew Barrymore is one of the stars.
I think the movie had good intentions, but it is no Rounders. Not by a long shot. So save yourself the $3.95 on pay-per-view, and rent some other dumb romantic comedy your girlfriend wants to watch.
Cheers and GL,
Matt

Sometimes when you’re grinding away, at whatever limit you are playing, you develop some bad habits. We call this ‘the Rut’.
It’s kinda like working out, when you do the same exercises over and over, the same routine, your body stops getting stronger – it has gotten used to the activity.
Poker is the same. To grow as a poker player, you need to challenge yourself. Read the rest of this entry »

The inaugural Poker Bowl, which was created by the U.S. Poker League, kicks off October 20 at Bally’s in Las Vegas. Unlike other team-base poker tournaments, this one actually puts team members on the felt at the same time. PROP players, Dapo Fadeyi and Will Lin will be competing alongside a great team (which we’ll announce when we can).
Poker Bowl I will feature 25 teams (five teams in five conferences) playing in a series of tournaments. Each conference will send its champion to the Poker Bowl Finale, to be held on October 23. This Finale starts as three ten-handed single-table shootout tournaments, in which each team will have two players represented at each table (each team has a total of six players). When each table is down to three players, they will be combined into one nine-handed final table.
The last team to have at least two players remaining (the “team winner”) will advance its top three finishers to the playoff table. The winner of the final table will also advance, along with his team’s other top finisher. These five players will then battle it out, trying to eliminate the other team. The team that survives will be declared champion of Poker Bowl I.
If the winner of the final table (before the playoff table) is also a member of the “team winner,” there will be no playoff. That team wins by default.
The buy-in for the event is $8,000 per person, $40,000 per team. The total prize pool will be $1,000,000.

Poker players, especially the professional types, find themselves completely disconnected with the value of a dollar. Playing poker, often with hundreds or thousands of dollars on the line, makes that $100 dinner not seem like a very big deal.
Here is a good article, on pocketfives.com, related to the value of a buck.

The 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 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.
