Bahamas (WPT-PCA) 2007 - Official Updates Thread...

[Talking Poker]

You need to remember to show me the guy who wants to play you in a cash game (is he in the pic?). heh. About that hand though, while I agree that it's important to play a hand like that from time to time (and I do stress "from time to time"), I think it's ok to look down at 82o and go with Plan B, which is to fold. When I get in that spot, I tell myslf I'll do it with any reasonable hand, but I would pitch 82. 74, sure, but not 82. Then again - you're still in and I'm out, so what do I know?

Also, I suspect your hand was good vs. ZeeJustin, but please again refer to above disclaimer.

About that reraise thing... you can typically correct the dealer when they mistate your intentions if you do it right away. In other words, "No, I said 'Raise to 60k' (or 'Raise. 60k'), not 'raise 60k.'" They may call over the floor, but they will typically side with you especially when ou point out that you have 1.5k behind and how stupid would it be for you to have raised all but that. Of course, this could all be a sign of weakness or something, so it may be beter to just suck it up and pray for the fold.

82o. You're the man. GL tomorrow. I'm gonna play in the $1000 at 2:00, but I'll check in on you before then for sure. It's time to work my 2% up to enough to cover my side tourney losses (if not my entire trip - $30k if you take this down sure would be fun!), so get 'er done...

[JDMcNugent7]

thats awesome man. plz win.
im so glad u showed that bluff too.

[Zybomb]

Im beyond jealous

Take it down!

[melioris]

Great job Boobie. Take this one down!

[Talking Poker]

You have no excuses. You could be here if you wanted to. You need to pick a tourney like this in the future and hit they sattys hard. You'll be glad you did.

The Main Event has been underway for an hour or so now. Nice, detailed updates from the today, so keep an eye on that.

P0ker H0 and I swapped 3% for today's $1000 tourney again. Rather than neither of us pay each other anything like usual, we've decided to both make the final table this time. Oh, and we're both starting at the same table, as luck would have it - with him in the 3 seat and me in the 8. That tourney starts at 2:00.

They are playing down to 18 players today, and I'd really, really, really like to see Wes make it to Day 4!

[Zybomb]

You tell me the next tourny and (if I somehow get off work) I'll be there

[melioris]

from the 12:38pm post (if I remember correctly)

"Partick Pezzin pushes in for 25K. Called by Joseph Serack and then raised to 70K by Wesley Ismay. Joseph folds and we have 97s for Patrick vs KK for Wesley. The board comes Qc-3c-8c6s-4d. The straight does not materialise on the river and we have lost another."

*wipes tear of pride from eye* I remember when he was such a little boobie.....

From the blog: Partick Pezzin pushes in for 25K. Called by Joseph Serack and then raised to 70K by Wesley Ismay. Joseph folds and we have 97s for Patrick vs KK for Wesley. The board comes Qc-3c-8c6s-4d. The straight does not materialise on the river and we have lost another.


NH, Sir (I assume this is the right Wes).

[Reel Deal]

Ahh, the training bra days.... seems like they were just yesterday.

[Tony Cheval]

He won with the KOD? I call shenanigans!

[melioris]

Hey Boobie-great work, keep it up. In one of the pictures I saw some guy wearing a CFC hat. That stands for “Chelsea Football Club”, a soccer team in England. They were bought by a Russian mobster who has spend around a billion dollars (I typed this to exaggerate, but the sad truth is that it might be close to true) on stacking the team, raised ticket prices through the roof, and now pretty much only posers support them.

Since you are busting everyone there at some point, when you knock this guy, it would be awesome to say something like “Real Men Support Reading” or “Fulham”. Those are two not so great English teams that both have a couple (or more) Americans playing on them. If you don't want to say anything, kicking the guy in the nuts as he walked away would also work.

Of course you have more important things to worry about, so if you forget don’t worry about it. Keep up the good work and Good Luck!

According to Cardplayer, Boobie busted in 76th for $14,128.
I'm sure he's pretty peeved, but still, great showing.

[New Guy]

Damn well you did us proud boobie.Hell of a run! I was like a crack addict with these updates.Lets all make it a point to satty the hell out of all the upcomming big events and get a party together for the next one!! !4k not bad not bad at all!!!

[Reel Deal]

Fuck. Nice showing Wes!

[melioris]

SHIT SHIT

Great work though! We are all proud.

[Robbr25]

Good job Wes !!

[omahilo]

nice run man... Im sure you will be at the next big tourney.

[Talking Poker]

Yeah, he busted out 76th. I had just walked away from my table in the other tourney to check on his stack when I noticed a seat card sitting in front of his empty chair. Uh oh. Yup, there he was at the cashier's table. I caught up with him later on and he told me about his day. I'll let him tell you guys, of course. Tough break in the end.

As for my tourney, it went almost exactly like yesterday's. I started off well and built a stack, and then went ridiculously card dead. In 3+ hours of play, I literally was dealt the following pairs: TT (lost a big pot), 66 (lost a medium pot), and 33 (folded preflop). I had AK exactly once and doubled up with it, and didn't have AQ, AJ, AT all day. Yeah, nice cards.

When the blinds went from 100/200 with a 25 ante to 200/400 with a 50 (that's a big jump), my already not so great stack immediately became a short one. I pushed UTG with A7 (the blinds would have crippled me the next two hands) and got called by AK. I flopped a 7, but fear not, he hit a King on the turn.

Meanwhile, P0ker H0 lasted exactly 3 hands this time. He busted with AA. He raised preflop and was called by an EP limper. Check/bet/call on the all rag flop. Then the board paired 3s on the turn, the limper bet, H0 pushed, and the limper called and flipped up 33. LOL.... Good stuff. He and I seriously need to stop swapping.

I played with some fairly big online players today. I don't remember all their names, but Marvin Garden was one... He and his wife started their own business (with some of his poker money), making high end suntan lotion and stuff. He gave me a sample. Pretty cool.

Anyway, that's all for now. I think I'm done tourneys for this trip. Maybe I'll hit the cash tables later, but probably not. I may actually play online later on tonight in the lobby. It's a cool environment down there, with some many people gathered around tables full of latops.

Good Job

[Boobie Lover]

You all know about the KK hand. I had a real crap image at the beginning since I was opening a bunch. Then, people started to play back at me, and I would finally fold A9 or 66 or something equivalent. So, after about 1/2 an hour after getting a 75k advance to the stack, I was back to where I started and decreasing.

Then, Ted Lawson (I think, he looked a lot like that PLO donk that won a WSOP bracelet) opens in the hijack+1 and I 3bet AQo in the SB to 65k leaving myself 70kish behind. He thinks for a couple of minutes, and then tables AJo. I guess I'm playing way too tight if AJ thinks that long before hitting the muck.

1/2 an hour later, Some black guy from Denver limps UTG (I think limping is pretty much always a mistake with blinds this high in a tourney) and I iso raise with A7o. He calls. Flop comes 778 with two hearts. He checks, I cbet, he check/raises an amount that commits me. I push and he call with 44. I hold up.

Finally, the hand that busted me. I raise with 68 SOOTED in the hijack. The chipleader of the whole tourney with about 600k at that point calls in the CO and everyone else folds. Flop is JT8 with two spades. I cbet 3/4 pot, he calls. Turn is a 6 (non spade). I check, he bets 60k, I push for about 180k. He instacalsl. He has JJ. Drawing dead never felt so bad.

14k is an ok payday for a vacation I suppose.

[Tony Cheval]

Ya think?

[drewjax]
