When they check…..you bet!
Yeah yeah, I know this sounds like rocket science to a lot of you, but…This is especially useful in late position. You’ll find that most games will consist of a majority of relatively straightforward players, who when they check – don’t have much outside of a weak drawing hands. When they check to you on the turn again – guess what? – bet again!
I know this seems stupid and trivial, but Read the rest of this entry »

Matt busted outta the $300 rebuy on Fulltilt tonight – FTOPS V #9 – around 500th out of 1100.
He was sitting at 5k in chips, raised 3xbb on button with AA. BB (also with about 5k) defends. 5/7/9 flop, two spades, Matt bet 600 into 1000. BB raised to 2400. Matt moved in. River brought a 6 to complete the double gutter, and send him to the rail.
On the lighter side – he did take down the wnypoker.com bodog league night – 1st/12…

Never seemed to get anything going in this tourney. Folded QQ to K/J/8/x board early on, never saw KK or AA, played solid but couldn’t get hands to even gamble with.
After the second break, a table change found Matt @ a monster table, with the chip leader and three very active players all around 15k in chips. Pokergodzeus was the chip leader @ 35k, moderate70, slytony, and rdcrsn all were playing solid agressive poker w/about 15k. Read the rest of this entry »

Playing a $20 mtt on Bodog, 72 players, heads up at the final table. I had a 60/40 chip lead but it quickly swung the other way as STOAF88 was running hot. After about 20 minutes or so this interesting hand came up: Read the rest of this entry »

This guy has taken the online poker world by storm for the past two years or so, and is certainly a feared opponent at the tables…however, Brian Townsend, aka Sbrugby, is currently in a bit of a slump.
After losing $1.8mil @ the Bellagio playing mostly 1k/2k Plo during the WSOP, he has since lost another $1.2m or so online at Fulltilt. That’s gotta sting.

Professional poker players, Phil Laak and Ali Eslami, recently defeated an artificial intelligence program named Polaris in a man v. machine battle. The margin of victory was slim however, with the ‘humans’ winning two of the four sessions, and tying one.
While the number of hands played are not sufficient to be considered statistically relevant, the results indicate a growing threat amongst the AI community. Personally, I think playing online could get a little tougher once they figure out these programs, but that is just the conspiracy theorist in me.

Congrats go out to Dapo on making the money, busting 324th, for approx $40k, his second 2007 WSOP cash. He found himself quite card dead for two days, and did well to last as long as he did.
In other news, Matt is pissed he didn’t get a piece of Dmikkal…two weeks prior to main event 1% was going for $120, and now this crazy european is first in chips @ the main event. Although Read the rest of this entry »

Watch out world, this kid can play…
Dapo used fearless agression to triple his day 1 stack, finishing day 2a with 313k. He is in excellent shape moving into day 3 in the top 100 in chips.
The key hand for the day found Dapo, at this time average in chips around 120k, in the cutoff with an agressive well known norwegian behind him on the button. With a flop of 635 and two clubs, the norwegian led out. dapo re-raised allin putting his tourney life on the line with A8 clubs, after agonizing the norwegian called to show two red jacks. turn was a blank, but the river was a club and Dapo stacked the guy. WOW. Exciting…
