Toronto Pimp

Good try. You got it in ahead. That’s all you can hope for. Go have a nice dinner.

OK registered for the Goliath $50K at PHO. See attached entry and pic of where I will be sitting later this evening.

Looks good. Will it be televised? 😜

50k in a day.

Good luck. Are they doing the tourney up on the 2nd floor ?

Have big FUN too.

compuease

Yes they and are smashing the guarantee, 308 entries now and lots in line.

Still going up 360 now and prize pool of 80k

compuease

Smashing the guarantee, and still about 100 in line, and more coming, May hit 150k I think. FYI I am running low on power and forgot my charger back in my room so may run out soon. I am at 28k at the moment. Down to 13k and double up on a draw that hit, finally.

compuease

Sorry guys, been kinda busy and almost out of phone power as I forgot my charger in my room. Have been up and down all day, now sitting at 75BB, final total of buyins is 650 something, triple the 50K guarantee I believe. Lots of people who couldn't get into the Big 50 came here and lot's like myself as well who busted out. I could have been at about 125BB if my attempts to take out short stacks worked, twice I go in ahead but doubled them up, the last one just before a break, small shoved 13BB, I had A,8 in BB and though about and finally called. He has K,6, we flop A,10,x, turn J, river Q giving him the str8. Another one earlier, I had pocket 8's, called a 10BB shove from 7's and he hits a 7. Another, new guy came to the table with 20BB, I limped early with AKd, in late position, he think about it and shoves A,5, folded to me, i call, he hits his 5. This could have been so much better. I likely won't get to update until it's over unless i can borrow a charger. With all the rebuys which just ended there are still about 400 in it.

Wow..... straight flush beat by royal flush at Planet Hollywood. Looks like tournament chips. Hope our boy had the pocket Aces.

No that wasn't me, either way, I didn't even know it until I read it here. Sorry my phone was dead so there were no more updates until now and I was too sickened by the result anyways.

Got to level 16 at about 10pm Vegas time and this really hurt. I had 317K, 2.5K/5K/5K blinds. I'm on the button with 9,10c, raise to 12K from mid position, 1 caller between, I call as does V in BB, covers us all. So 54k in the middle. Flop comes, 8,J,K, rainbow.
Initial raiser continues with 36K bet, I decide to call and so does BB. so now 162K in the pot, and I have about 280 left, turn 7 hearts. Checked to me and I shove thinking there's enough in there for me and 2 hearts now out there with possible higher str8 draw. BB thinks and calls off 75% of his stack with KQ hearts. F'in 3h on the river and again I am out short of the money by about 40 ppl I think... Win that one and I'm coasting in, I don't think I could call in his spot there, am I wrong?

compuease

Thinking today I may just play cash or a smaller one later.. Need food now.

Gogie

So if my math is right V is about 19% to hit his flush on the river (just under 5-1 odds). He’s betting 280K to win 442K so he’s getting odds of just less than 1.6 to 1. I’d say that’s a pretty dumb call on his part and I’ll take your odds every time in that situation. You can’t bemoan dumb luck; just get it in good and hope the poker gods reward good play.

Edit - I did’t bother to look at V’s hand before the river. With top pair and the 2nd nut flush draw plus a gut straight draw he had a lot of outs. He was still taking a huge risk regardless of what he put you on.

Toronto Pimp

On the turn you are 80% to win the hand . Kinda depends what the villain has put you on, probably doesn’t have you raising 9-10 if you have been playing snug. Maybe he has you AJ hearts and thinks his pair is good ?

Seems like a bad spot to punt off 75% of your stack with a call......but Donkey’s be Donk’n .

Again you got it in being 80 - 20 to win the hand ....can’t ask for much better than that.

the variance will even out eventually.

compuease

Correction., I didn't raise, I called a raise with one other caller before me, then the BB called as well. I can't believe the cash game waiting lists here everywhere. I'm just going to play here at Bally's since I can get paged. List was 28 when I got on, I'm 5th now. Everywhere on Bravo is worse.

MrCaspan

If I was reading it right that there is 13 million cash pool for the Big 50!!! that is going to be a huge win!

compuease

Just a quick update, decided to take Monday off from tournaments, was too tilted to play right i think. Just played cash and was up a measly 240 for the day.. Did have the buffet in Paris as I had earned enough through play at Bally's..

folded

just ship me the 5% of $240... cheers...
haha

‘I think we even get a piece if he buys a lottery ticket.

compuease

As per schedule I am heading for Golden Nugget to play BigO.

And yes I bought a lottery tickets for the big draw last night and won, but no I'm not sharing.
