WSOP 2006 - TP's Updates...

[Talking Poker]

A few interesting stats from my head (I can confirm these later when I go through my notebook):

Number of sets I flopped today: 0
Number of times I was dealt AA: 4 (including 3 in the span of about 15 hands - won blinds twice and small-medium pots the other two times)
Number of times I had KK: 1 (lost a big pot with it)
Number of time I had AK: I'm not sure, bit it was definitely a big loser for me on the day.
Number of times I had QQ, JJ, TT, 99 combined: 1 (I picked up the blinds with JJ once)
Number of showdowns I was involved in, NOT counting the hand that knocked me out: 4.
Number of those where I had the nuts when the money went in: 2.
Number where I had the nuts on the flop and the turn, and had to make a big (correct) call on the river after a flush draw completed: 1.
Number of showdowns that I lost (not counting my final hand): 1 - for $25,000 chips!!!

Hmmm... what else? Oh, the hand that eventually knocked me out: With only 4200 or so chips left, I pushed in from the CO with Jd9d. The BB called with ATo. The flop came Txx with one diamond. The turn was the 7d, giving me 15 outs headed to the river: three Js, four 8s, and 8 other diamonds..... a non diamond 3 hit the river and that was that. Had I gotten lucky there, I would have been up to a much healthier 9k+ stack... still not great, but at least something to work with.

Lots of other interesting hands to write about later. I should get some sleep though first.

Good Job TP-we were are hoping for the fantasy to come true, but really all that you can control is your play and if you are happy with your play then that is all anyone can ask for. You made us proud!!! I can't wait to read more about your day.


And good jorb Robbie with the updates. Don't let the hate get you down, there is no shame in going to bed. Around here we say that sleep is the new sex because we value it that much.

The most important outcome is that you were happy with the way you played. I'd be willing to bet any amount of money that there are many people out there, sitting in their hotel rooms, or out getting drunk that are purely disgusted with themselves for the way they played.

Oh, and it was 9:23 Vegas time when I went to bed. Not 9:00!
