A thread to talk about poker

[Father Demon]

no, he's from cali, and he busted out in one of the day 2s

Jeff Madsen was eliminated from the Main Event when his K-Q didn't improve against A-2.  He finished up this year with two bracelets in four final tables for a total of almost $1.5 million in his first ever appearance at the WSOP.

Not bad.

here's a really good poker one here

I hear GF used to write a poker blog, until they realized he knew less than nothing about poker.

oh and heres joanna krupa...john blaze ish...hopefully she get s alot of camera time when espn broadcasts

[phattymatty]

yeah i'm guessing she'll make it on tv

[Father Demon]

Apparently, I am the king of making sure all my opponents at the final table finish in the money.

3 online tournies over the last couple days.  45 people at the beginning, and Top 7 in the money.  All three times, I have finished 8th.

I am the Lord of teh suck.

[phattymatty]

note for next time:  don't go all-in when in 8th place.

[Father Demon]

That's really easy on paper.

Actually, the last two times I was in 8th place out of 8, so I needed to do something or I would be blinded out within 4 or 5 hands.
The first was the story I told earlier about my AK suited being busted out by an 8T offsuit.

I'm going to play again shortly.

WSOP chip leader doesnt want to win, wants second place

[phattymatty]

thats a load of crap.  you don't become a hollywood agent if you don't want to be famous.

plus, allen cunningham is second right now, so chances are gold will come in second whather he tries or not.

WSOP chip leader doesnt want to win, wants second place

What a douche.  He's obviously lying, because he knows he's a lucky bastich and will likely not win regardless.

[Eagles_Legendz]

I used to play against Gold--the chip leader--all the time on bodog (he's ari).  I really wasn't that impressed by him.  He is always near the tourney leaderboard there because he plays in so many tourneys, but he usually busts early.  I'm incredibly suprised he's done this well.

Anyone here play on Pokerstars?  I've won the $20 128 person heads up tourney 2 of the last 3 days--doing well avoiding suckouts I suppose.  It's run at 2:05.  Took it down today and usually play at 9:05 as well, but I'm going to take a pass on that tonight.  But if anyone ever wants a game, the sn is Rollins4Prez (yea, I know, I know).

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

The guy who claimed he didn't want to win... won.

[SunMo]

rough night tonight, i lost about $25.

about $20 of it came on river cards, once when i had A A and i let an A 2 stay in at the flop and paid for it when he pulled a 2 2 8 on the flop

and another was just a bad beat, i don't remember why and that's probably a good thing.
