[RikkiDee]

"lol no one has a clue how good Sammy is at poker because all anyone has seen are a few hands on tv.

I am new here, what is TL;DR

[underoath73]

you guys think barry cares what internet message boards say about him, he was down 800k and kept playing without a care in the world for money and got up 500k, he has won more money with poker then probably imaginable while not sitting at a computer for 15 hours a day 4 tabling, having a actual life

[J4Frankie]

Frankie knows Farha is a really sick loser @ the big game. The fool has only played 60k hands of Omaha in his life, but b/c of sample size, his stats are inaccurate, and so everyone thinks he's kind of good (b/c he runs well in Omaha).

Frankie knows better. Frankie sold his house, car, horse stable, land, and bonds to play the fool; $300k after Ol' Uncle Sam's taxation.

Now Frankie knew what he got himself into, and told sam that they only play by his rules:

No Limit Omaha
4 cards dealt (three exposed)
Each player gets 5 blinds (60k a pop)

And it only took 1 hand for Ol' Sammy to get lucky and end the match:

Frankie had A92[2] rainbow dealt in the hole
Farha was showing TJJ

We posted our blinds and flop came down:
AKQ

I figured my pair was good so I checked, trying to induce a bluff. Sammy checked behind.

Turn came off a Ten and the board looked like this:

AKQT

I figured I'd make it look like I was bluffing (to try to get Sammy to put me all in) so I made it 1 blind to go, Sammy called.

River was a Jack giving Sammy a set.

Putting AKQTJ up on the board.

I figured only way I could take it down was bluff. Frankie led out for another two blinds, and Sammy pushed all in for his remaining three blinds. Knowing I couldn't beat his set, I said "nice play" and mucked face up, showing him my pair of aces.

Push came to shove, and Sammy got the best of it. Frankie knew he could make a comeback with his remaining blind, but in the end he felt it wasn't right; Sammy came to America searching for dreams, and taking them away was not the American thing to do.

We chatted it up instead over some waffles, and eventually struck a business deal.

So how does he get his money? He spews at every game besides Omaha (because the river always bails him out), and yet losing a million in a day to him is like nothing. Well its because he is really good at hustling ppl. He lives in Texas, and runs the oldest scam in the book; selling Lebanese property claiming it is rich in oil.

I fell for this trick back in '97. After our heads up match and waffles, I took his offer, and bought a parcel of his land. For $46 thousand I got this chunk of land:



Till this day I have seen not a drop of oil. Camels, wild boars, and occasional Arab trespassers is all it is good for.

Legit good players say that the varience in this game make it as close to 50 50 as you can get, we will never know who is actually +EV and it makes very little difference to the end result- but it is so true about WPT fanboy donks thinking Farha is crushing becuase he knows that when aba bluffs his teeth grow or some other amazing tell
