Event #28: $1500 No-Limit Hold'em

[neuroman]

How are 2+2ers doing in this event?

Nath has 2375 chips early and is (or was) sitting at Barry Greenstein's table.

[rmgustaf]

What table is he at?

[neuroman]

Nath says he is at Table 80

up to 2725 chips

[Kevmath]

Maybe Nath can get himself a signed book if he's lucky.

"live poker is easy"

[nath]

i'm out, i played really badly after my table broke
and made really aggressive moves at my old one that didn't work out

[fslexcduck]

i got knocked out after playing phil hellmuth style perfect poker. now i know how that guy feels. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[uclabruinz]

I am still in at dinner but short. Colson has a big stack and TJ Cloutier on his right also with big stack. about 350 left I think.

[THAY3R]

I'm still in at break but only down to 10 bbs. after the 2nd break I was probably among the chipleaders with around 20k but proceeded to get sucke out left and right including a big hand to the ful tilt guy who talks tohis hand with qq to kj.

[scottc25]

I was knocked out in Level 4. The hand where I lost 70% of my chips was at Level 3 (50/100). I get As Kc in middle position. I raise to 325 and get 1 caller. Flop comes 10 high all spades. Check to me and I bet 350. Other player goes all in. I figured I had 15 outs. I called and my opponent shows Qs Js. I do not hit and am down to 500. I double once and then get KO'ed shortly into round 4.

At least the 2/5 NL games are going well....

[uclabruinz]

Out shortly after dinner. When I got back I had 3500ish and two hand before BB hit me again, so I was planning to push anything decent. First had 93o, second hand T4o. Boo!

Blinds go through. My backup plan at dinner was for this guy who raised like crazy to open in front of me and for me to push knowing I had no FE but get a flip with the 1100 chip overlay in the pot from blinds and antes. It worked as planned. He opened, I shoved from LP with 2600ish and QJo, he had to call with 44. I just forgot to win the flip.

GL to Colson and anyone else left. Carl had about 12k I think when I left with 400 big blind. TJ's stack was pretty big on his right.

[THAY3R]

I'm to the left of Ari now, and already doubled up through him. I've got a bit over 20k now at the last break before we go home.

[BadgerPro]

Wow there are some sick names left in this event, only about 4 players out of 26 left that I don't recognize the name.

What's your name UFC Thayer?

Nath Pizzolatto on Day 1 of the 2006 WSOP $1,500 NLH Event

[Cair Paravel]

colson10 is the chip leader with 24 players left. A bunch of donks left, like Sklansky, Mizrachi (x2), Corkins, Cunningham, JC Tran, Seed. And a guy named Jordan Morgan (ims0lucky...or whatever it is) is currently seventh. Woo.

Edit: Actually more than 24 people left...about 150. CardPlayer only has 24 chip counts listed though.

[0evg0]

Nath seriously needs to hire me to pick out his shirts. This is two photo-ops in a row where he's made a decidedly -EV play.

[demoman99]

GOOOOOOO Colson!

[benza13]

Colson and Imsolucky0 running 2 and 3 going into day 2. Oh yea and that donkey Sklansky that posts here sometimes is 11th.

Just found this while reading through the updates:

WTG Cardplayer /images/graemlins/heart.gif /images/graemlins/heart.gif

Bill Gazes raises all-in for $5,200 from early position pre-flop. A player in mid-position calls, and Carl Olson, with a stack of $70,000, raises an additional $15,000. The other player folds, and Gazes and Olson flip over their cards. Gazes has J10 while Olson has KK. The flop comes Q94, giving Gazes a straight draw as well as a runner-runner spade draw. The turn is the 6 and the river is the 5, and Bill Gazes is eliminated in 165th place. Carl Olson is up to $5,200 in chips.

[Apathy]

I cashed for the third time this series but came 169th or something lame like that.

Good luck Colson and Imsolucky0 tommorow.

[THAY3R]

I'm still in with an average stack, sitting next to my buddy Ari.

i'm personally more concerned with the picture looking like i have a huge wad of chewing tobacco in my mouth

as far as fashion goes, why don't you post a pic of the stuff you wear on a regular basis, because i've gotten a few comments already and since the people i know in reality think i dress well i will consider their opinions more hihgly than those of the people who play poker on the internet and see pictures of me on the internet

[Black Aces 518]

I thought the red/white shirt was meh, this blue one is pretty good, and the final table one was fantastic. If I were you I'd take a picture of myself wearing 240K in $100 bills. That is in these days.

[uter]

helluva tactic -

Joe Tehan Makes a Great Call....Almost
The board reads K42K10 and there is $18,000 in the pot. Jose Raul Severino pushes all-in for another $17,000 against Joe Tehan in late position. Tehan thinks for several minutes before saying, "This could be the worst call I've ever made." Severino jumps out of his chair and points to Tehan, saying "He said call, he said call!" The table agrees that Tehan did not say call, only that he might call. Tehan thinks it over for a few more minutes and finally folds 55 face up. Severino immediately jumps up and throws the Q3 on the table for the missed flush draw. After the hand, Severino is up to $35,000 and Tehan is down to $23,000.

That blue shirt is money, as are the other two from the shorthanded event.

[Cair Paravel]

Jordan Morgan in 40th.

[Marduk]

3 Thayer Rasmussen 100,000

11 Jordan Morgan 76,000

[benza13]

Jordan Morgan back up to 11th.

Sklansky got 74th.

why are people so afraid that having a fashion sense will make them gay? 2+2 can be pretty juvenile sometimes.

edit: "sometimes" should read "90% of the time they are talking about something besides poker."

geez, chill nath, it was a joke (it's a line from a seinfeld episode)

i'm chill; do you read these boards much? is my statement not accurate?

[KOTLP]

I do, and it's 100% accurate. Though maybe I say that because I'm a good deal older than the average poster here.

Anyway, I was seriously just complimenting you on the shirts (and thought you might catch the reference).

cheers

[nath]

well thanks for that. i dig the shirts myself-- most of them are pretty new. i think i got that final table shirt like 3 days before i left for vegas. i [censored] loved it.

hehe, sorry i missed the reference. i can be a little culturally unaware at times. not that there's anything wrong with that.

[BadgerPro]

Looks like UCF Thayer is out:


Wed Jul 19 19:37:00 PDT 2006
Thayer Rasmussen Eliminated in 33rd Place ($8,706)
The pre-flop action is folded around to Thayer Rasmussen in small blind, who pushes all-in for about $55,000. Mats Rahmn, in the big blind, calls instantly without asking for a count. Rasmussen flips up 9/images/graemlins/club.gif8/images/graemlins/spade.gif, and Rahmn flips up A/images/graemlins/heart.gif10/images/graemlins/heart.gif. The flop comes 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif5/images/graemlins/heart.gif2/images/graemlins/heart.gif, leaving Rasmussen drawing very thin. The turn and the river are the A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif and the 2/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, and Rasmussen is eliminated. Rahmn is up to $177,000 in chips.

I'm assuming that's UCF.

[Marduk]

Nath, here is a pretty good link regarding some of the shirts you've worn: http://www.phat5.com/features.asp?StoryID=239&SectionID=11
That's not to say that all of them are bad, but the key is choosing a more subdued one.

Hmm. Apparently event #28 is now the 2+2 fashion thread.

[THAY3R]

33rd /images/graemlins/frown.gif

I felt like I played really well today, I'm sure Ari would back me up on that. Early on I was pretty short, but then I doubled up with AK to AJ. So now I had chips to work with so I could play JINXY MONKEY style, and proceeded to run over the table somewhat. I got hit in the face with cards early on too, so was able to build my stack up alot, and was even chip leader for awhile.


Then, it was all downhill. I kept on getting involved with short stacks and lost, losing races and quasi-races left and right. One time the button pushes all in on my BB for 13k, blinds were 1500/3000 (antes 400). So auto call with my k5.... of course he has kk!

Eventually I was involved in a huge pot that really crippled me. Blinds were 2k/4k 500 ante, and it was folded around to me in late position. I look down at 66, and made it 15k, button pushes for 55k total. I was pretty confident it was an autocall for me(please chime in if you think otherwise) and unfortunately he had AA, and he PWNED me leaving me pretty short(10 bb's).


All in all I guess I can't complain too much as I entered the day pretty short, though for the 2nd WSOP event in a row I was in great position to do something big and choked.

Maybe I should change my name to ATL_BRAVES.

I'm very familiar with this article. As much as I can't stand those kinds of people, though, I still like striped shirts. Not much more to say about that.

[benza13]

Good showing UCF.

Jordan still hanging around the top 10, hopefully he can rep 2+2 at the final table tomorrow.

Was this okay?

[nath]

slightly pedestrian, but casual and comfortable are virtues too and if that's what you want then go with it. the red t-shirt underneath is a nice touch.

p.s. i presume you weren't serious, but i decided to give a serious response anyway.

[benza13]

Jordan Morgan final tabled. He's got around T340,000, which is right in the middle of the pack.

GL tomorrow, take down another bracelet for 2+2

Jordan: at the 150/300 level, I lost a 14k pot allin preflop with JJ to 99, and it left me with 1000 chips
MattK: but JM doesnt lose heart
Jordan: nope
Jordan: so I'm in the SB and have 1k chips, with 150 in the middle, and I tell the BB i"m pushing in the dark.... everyone folds to me I don't look and push, he calls with 83o lol
Jordan: bahhhh
