$2 4 Player HUSO Replay
Sunday, June 21st, 2009 | Hand Replay | No Comments
This is a replay of a heads up shoot out match. Took a little longer then wanted to defeat the first player but he kept doubling back on me. The final was a little easier because while playing the first game I was watching the other table gathering notes. › Continue reading

Satellite $50,000 GTD
Wednesday, June 17th, 2009 | Tournaments | 7 Comments
Went on to Full Tilt and looked around for a bit as I was rested from my nap earlier in the day trying to find a decent game to get into, there was plenty but I opted for a 200 FTPoint satellite to the $50,000 next weekend. I didn’t have anything on my schedule so trying to fill-er-up.
It had late registration open and a number of players had already been railed, when I got in there was 32 remaining with 10 gone. The tournament finished with 51 entrants and top 10 got an entry and 11th got there 200 points back. › Continue reading

Fantasy Limit Omaha
Saturday, June 13th, 2009 | Tournaments | 3 Comments
I qualified for this $1000 Freeroll on FullTilt in a Fantasy Poker League.
With Freddy Deeb and Eli Elezra cashing in the Omaha 8b gave me enough points to be given a ticket to the Limit Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better (8b) last night.
Usually a limit poker game does take a long time and a lot of energy to play, with this being Omaha and more players see flops I decided I was going to take the time and put the focus into this game. It is also good practice for my HORSE game where I seem to excel at Omaha and the hi/lo variants. So after the first couple hands I realized there was many sit outs, hmmm

MiniSOP Event #21
Wednesday, June 10th, 2009 | Tournaments | 4 Comments
Another deep finish in the Mini Series of Poker Event #21 $30 HORSE on FullTilt Poker which I put a lot expectations on myself to do well, in fact I am disappointed that I didn’t final table but I did make a run for it.
This was a $15k GTD tournament, with 877 entrants the prize pool got juiced up to $26,310 and paying the top 96. In all fairness this is a decent turn out which I had estimated we would get 800-900, there was a couple players who thought it would reach 1000 with late registration and offered a side bet but since I did not know them I passed on that.

MiniSOP Event #1
Wednesday, May 27th, 2009 | Tournaments | 6 Comments
I played in the Mini Series of Poker this afternoon on Full Tilt Poker If you can’t get to Vegas this year, then this is the place to play poker for the next month, well that is where I will be and I need your money so come play. If not play come rail me at the table, I’ll be playing the June 9th and 21st HORSE buyins.
Event #1 $5.50 Buyin May 27th 15:23 ET
Entrants: 8,297 Prize Pool: $41,485 Places Paid: 1080
One of the first hands I actually get involved in was interesting
[8d 4d] Assistanc3 (4,120) raises to 300 MaybeInTime10 (2,460) calls 200
*** FLOP *** [4h 7s 7h]
MaybeInTime10 checks, Assistanc3 bets 400, MaybeInTime10 raises to 1,800
Assistanc3 has 15 seconds left to act and requested TIME
I’m thinking what could you be raising with that would only be calling from the big blind with your short stack and why are you raising so much? You have two overcards! is what I put them on and made the move to just put them all in.
Assistanc3 raises to 3,200, MaybeInTime10 calls 360, and is all in
Assistanc3 shows [8d 4d] MaybeInTime10 shows [3c 3h]
[4h 7s 7h [5h] [Jd] Assistanc3 wins the pot (4,970) with two pair, Sevens and Fours
OK this shows how bad some players really are, err not the above hand I played common that was skill, wasn’t it? Its about getting good reads from what you have seen so far. This is the icing on the cake about a quickie read, I knew this guy wanted to race but hey kids this isn’t NASCAR.
Blinds: 80/160
Dex420 (5,470) raises to 320, Assistanc3 (6,935) raises to 6,935, and is all in
Hello McFly? What you put me on 72o? Dex420 calls 5,150, and is all in
Assistanc3 shows [As Ah] Dex420 shows [Ad Qc]
*** RIVER *** [Qh Ks 4h [9s] [7c]
*** SUMMARY ***
Some players are just really bad, please take advantage of that.
I dunno, was it because of the previous hand where I played the 84d? I was very snug all game leading up to that and beyond. Cut your loses and muck high card preflop specially with blinds that low.
The next couple hours was rather slow and not making stacks of chips but at the same time I wasn’t losing any, simply picking up some small pots and using my image to my advantage. When I got to be low stack I cracked Aces with KJs turning a straight, that hand got me through another payout level.
It was sick tho, seeing so many monster hands go at it right after break.
Aces, Kings and Queens vs Jacks, Tens and Nines.
I was fortunate enough to be dealt 92o while that was going on, well there was one hand I would have stacked about 90k if I had played K2, would have made a full house and cracked Aces and Queens. So I continue on with my low stack and scored some late position moves praying my image gets them to fold.
Finished in 423
Flopped Trip Kings and slowed played
With the payout structure paying 271-360 I decided to make the call all-in on the river anyways and just hoped he didn’t make the flush, the pot was just to big to fold and folding would have left me with only 9 big blinds -antes. Its the right play on the river the only play in question was could I push him off the flop or turn? I honestly don’t think I could because he played a lot of Ace rag even vs the big stacks.
I really am enjoying playing these larger entrant games when I have the time to play. I’ve cashed both of my last two FullTilt games, this game and the MiniFTOPS Event #24. Thank-You to foldilox who came to the table to wish me luck and appers cheering me on aswell : )

MiniFTOPS Event #24
Monday, May 18th, 2009 | Tournaments | 4 Comments
Cashing in the $100,000 GTD was my goal for this game on FullTilt.
The Mini FTOP events have a slightly smaller buyin then the normal ones but the reason I played this one was
it was a knock out tournament plus a super stack for $12+$1.
With a handful of pro’s registered from the host Svetlana Gromenkova to Phil Gordon
Total of 13 which I out lasted 11 of them : )
I didn’t get to be seated with any but still a nice feeling to know they are there.
Full Tilt Poker Tournament MiniFTOPS Event #24 Hold’em No Limit
Buy-In: $12 + $1 Knockout Bounty: $2 Chips: 5000 Entries 15270 Prize Pool: $152,700
Tournament started: 2009/05/17 14:07:00 ET
The game started off smooth with mostly “play” going on and not donkey moves, that is to be expected with the super starting stack. It is just to much risk to commit so many chips early with blinds at 10/20. What did surprise me was how few went to flops in the early going and it was only premium hands at a showdown.
I had some big hands early and most did NOT get paid off, but there was one.

For the next 2 hours I couldn’t pick up any big pots and patience was starting to run thin watching my marginal hands get pushed away by some big stacks who had me covered x3-x5 my stack so I just sat tight and peeled off flops when it was right, then this hand took flight.

I made this call after looking at my position and how many players remaining
was I gonna fold my way into the money and fold another big hand when it comes up?
could I even fold into the money was the better question cause it was borderline probable so I said to myself if I win this hand, I am in the money. If I lose this hand well my night is over and on to the next game…
The game went crazy after that, dunno if it was cause the tightest and sexiest player all of a sudden woke up and played like a donkey going with a coin toss or something else that’s not as entertaining to write but the table went into free fall mode.
Basically blinding out till the money and then pushed on a flop where I hit top pair Aces
but was out kicked by the river railing me in 1,176th place out 15,270.
Speaking of the rail, I wanna thank those that were sitting on the rail taking pictures and txt’n back home to family and friends about this game… 
Pinky for letting me know when breaks were comming up was a blessing,
appers cheering on with my big pots and philV was all over them too.
twinsie spamming in the chat room getting in her fix of the game with Vince and the gang.

Game 16: Full Tilt $100 Freeroll
231 Entrants
Brat started at the table with me, her top pair ran into Jacks.
I sat out for a bit, had a smoke and got some fresh air..
Irony…I know, but I am Canadian eh
Got to play a few hands small ball style.
Picked up a few pots early again….
Hit a set, but there was a few scared cards on the turn
I checked and he bet me all in, I think about it…. and call
I knew I had to have the best hand here and surely he was drawing dead.
AKo, hit the King on the flop…no action
I’m even letting them draw but still can’t get them to hit lol
sitting in 40th of 61
Just had aces, think I over bet… kinda wanted the small stack to push
he had limped in… and calling my bet would have pot comited him
weeeeee more blinds.
all in 88 vs KK hit my 8 on the flop …w00t
25th of 49
JJ all in vs A4…..
he hits the freaking Ace on the flop…and hit the J on turn
12th of 32
Break 12th of 28
I think I might have played a hand by now…. if so, I probably lost … lol
did pick up some small pots and used my image a bit to score some blinds.
I’m not tired, but I have noticed I am not accounting for everyone that see’s the flop
I bet out with middle or bottom pair and see the person I expect to see fold,
and then after that there is 2 callers….. lol
Just pushed all in with AQo, and scored some blinds… needed blinds
sure would prefer a double up at this stage, down to less then 20 players.
…could use a smoke break too…hmmmm
Ace Ten, under the gun… not the best places to push…but I take it down.
good timing too, on my small blind, the price of poker just went up
Out in 14th

Game 8: Full Tilt $5 Buyin
Hmmm maybe I can get some points, 54 entrants in this buyin, looks like it is starting to thin out already. I sure could use some good cards, so far I been running into a cold deck or simply just cold.
hmmm been playing for 36 minutes now and not really anything going on other then doing laundry (folding). Seen some crazy action with 4 players, re raises and all ins. The pre flop favorite held up and at my table ‘ROGUEGAMBIT63′ has a very nice lead over everyone at the table.
Hit a straight on the turn, with my KQ, hoping the small stack would have got something so I checked it to the river, but not bitting there either.
Currently sitting in 31/41
knocked out in 30th.
This is so not my day,
