    Did the last WSOP Warmup take more 10 hours? This and Wednesday's GBH tournament will probably be the only decent live tournaments available to practice before the WSOP forum invasion. Please put me down as tentative and I will confirm closer to June 19.

    I was going to sign up but then realized, theoretically, the tourney might not be over until 6 or 7 am. Got stuff to do early Saturday morn. Darn, maybe next time. Good luck to all participants!!
  • SteveKerrSteveKerr
    there is now a waiting list.

    should be a good game

    and I am pretty sure it will be done before 6 or 7am.
  • MuddgutsMuddguts
    I'm looking quite forward to it. Been having some good luck at tourney's as of late and hope that continues :-)
  • MuddgutsMuddguts
    I will be making my way to the game from Oakville. 403-->410-->10
    Does anyone have a clue on when I should leave in order to be there for 7:30? I have to assume that Friday evening traffic will be heavy.
  • SteveKerrSteveKerr
    6:30 and you should be fine
  • BlondeFishBlondeFish
    I hope to leave by 6:20 PM tonight to take the same route. I know I'll get lost just like Belwood, Kitchener, Waterloo, Breslau, Port Perry, Brantford, Point Edward, Windsor, Detroit, Buffalo, etc., :-[ but hopefully by the time I find it, I'll still have a chip left to mount a comeback!

    There was lots of big hands through out the night quads like 3 or 4 times a couple of pocket Kings versus pocket Aces.

    and another fun night of poker is complete, next up is The WSOP

    Live poker is rigged! ;)
    I re-raise preflop with

    I get two callers and the pot is 5,100. Flop is

    :qd:js:5c
    I flop the nuts. Villain 1 overbets the pot and goes all-in. Bingo Bango! I immediately show my top set and call. Villain shows
    :jh:jd
    and only has the case J as his one out. Turn is
    :5h
    I am a 98% favourite to win and probably be the chip leader. River is

    IGHN and retire from live poker...
    until the WSOP. Thanks to SteveKerr and congrats to the three forumers dominating the prize pool.

    Good Game Steve, all two hands

    In BB with KK, raise it to 200, gets reraised to 650 folded back to me. I'm only med stack now after my AQ gets beat by Steve's trip kings two hands earlier, so I push...right into AA!! Flop comes down AKx...sick sick sick

    Great to see Garry come out. Although I never do well at Steve's game, he runs a great tourney.

    Good luck to all those going to WSOP.
  • compueasecompuease Admin
    Congrats Steve, glad to see you are running well going into your WSOP, just like I... Hopefully we all keep going in the right direction...

    Blondefish, how come you couldn't get away from that? Did you run the numbers? :)

    was a good game of poker or sure. No donkey's there whatsoever from my vantage point. Steve's call of 9-5 ("they were suited") after a pre-flop raise was questioned by the guy that ended up losing to that hand (steve ended up with boat) but that's about it. In Steve's defense, he was 2nd in chips with 6 people left and could afford the call. I seen quads 4 times, set over set, watched AA get cracked several times.

    Night got off to a great start. 3rd hand in I get 10-10, raise pre-flop, get one caller. I flop trips, guy bets, I raise, he re-raises all in. At that point I'm a little worried that he has a set of Qs which was the only hand that could beat me at that point and I thought, "well if he does, then that's just bad luck for me". I call, he flips over A-A turn and river don't improve either hand and just like that I have doubled up and possibly the early chip leader.

    Was card dead for the last hour and a half, just could not pick up a hand. Got A-A with about 8 players left and am the short stack at the table. At that time, the pre-flop bets were up to 3k with callers. I raise it to a measley 1500 and everyone folds!!! Ugh. Much to my delight, the big stacks were picking off the mid stacks like crazy until I was in the money:) Went all in with A-3 against chip leader who called with Q high and he gets two pair.

    Thanks for hosting Steve!

    EDIT: I also want to wish the WSOP bound players the best of luck. It would be awesome to be able to say I played against someone with a bracelet!

    The initial raiser had raise like his 4th time in a row he raised only to 1000, so I decided to play, and was not expecting garryc(forum member) to call.

    Flop was A 5 x and it was checked around turn was a 9, garryc bet 2300, initial raiser folded I called river a 5 for my boat garryc pushed all in and I called of coarse.

    I was running hot all night maybe only card dead for 1 level in the early stages.

    Thanks all for the goodlucks in Vegas hopefully the cards run well for all us form members that are participating in The WSOP
