Venetian Deep Stack, Tuesday

Filed under: Uncategorized — survivor01 @ 2:21 pm

The deep stack really went deep!  There were over 700 players sitting down to 12K starting chips and a BIG bluffing sessions.  I must have drawn the tuffest table of all in the tournament.  The player on my right was a professional player from Vegas, whom I’ve played with many times.  He commented several times that this table was rough!  Boy did I know it!  The opposite end of the table, bluffed so much, I could have played better using a Magic 8 Ball…lol.  Just when you thought you had them, the guy would turn over PP K’s or AA…brutal…

To further hinder my progress, I was cold decked most of the tournament.  To make a 5 hour tournament seem even shorter, my second table had 6 youngsters who thought they were all “Gus” clones.  Raising from early-mid position with 7/9d and utg with PP 3’s…..duh……I couldnt wait to go out….lol

Wednesday is a shot at Binions NL event.  Hopefully better cards and less clones…..

Sunday poker on PokerStars

Filed under: Uncategorized — survivor01 @ 6:17 pm

I’m looking for the best value on Stars to play, not really feeling like wading thru the Millions, but looking for a cash possibility.  I missed my seat for the third time into the $650 qualifer for the WSOP ME, so that reduces me to cash tournaments for choices.  I decided on the $55 $200K GTD which had 6462 players, for a really nice prize pool.    I was card dead for the longest time then got a boat when I called allin with pocket Jacks against two stacks of dead money that jumped me to 13K.  Easy come easy go, I lost 2/3 of my stack to a riverd boat against my turnd flush, and squeek into the money to make about $70 profit. 

I didnt play anything else Sunday, I took it easy and flopped in the pool with Steve and we chilled the rest of the evening.  Monday will be a satellite day at the WSOP, to see if I can get into the Tuesday $1500, if not, I play $330 deep stack at Venetian……
