so besides the fact that i start work tmrw AND have to miss the main event, I have this conversation with doug kim.

little background on doug: he sucks at poker, is a total nit in life and poker, and won 2.4 Mil in the only tourney he's ever played. his success has caused me to hate myself and poker, caused ML4L to ponder suicide, given FWF reason to almost kill himself, and caused the OCHO to tilt away his money in craps.

then, we had this aim convo today (he has like 70k after day 1)

Me (3:18:41 PM): lol
Me (3:18:45 PM): i saw u had 70k or something
Me (3:18:47 PM): any fun hands?

Tech (3:19:34 PM): flop 853 two diamonds
Tech (3:19:56 PM): sb checks i bet 1500, utg+1 calls, sb raises to 4000, ic all, utg+1 folds
Tech (3:20:09 PM): sb has 23000 to start
Me (3:20:18 PM): wait

Me (3:20:22 PM): why not 3-bet
Tech (3:20:31 PM): cause i'm a nit and i want to push a non threatening turn

Me (3:20:54 PM): trap?
Me (3:20:58 PM): you will get it in on the flop vs one
Me (3:21:01 PM): very often

I love this:

flop 853 two diamonds

cause i'm a nit and i want to push a non threatening turn

anyway turn comes 4d

he bets 10k
i raise him all in

By "non-threatening," I guess he meant "completes every conceivable drawing hand out there."

Jason,

Champions like Jordan, Woods, Federer, and Kim are able to take their game to a different level when it really counts.

I can understand your tilt at having to work and not being able to be by your mentor's side in Vegas picking up more knowledge on how to really succeed in major tournaments. Don't worry, though. Doug likes you a lot and I'm sure will be willing to talk poker with you once he's back in NYC.

Rush,

"Tech (3:20:31 PM): cause i'm a nit and i want to push a non threatening turn"

Yeah, that rationale for not 3-betting the flop is pretty funny given the turn action.

Re: life mfucking tilt
 

Jason, just because your friend Doug is a better poker player than you and has made millions playing is no reason to despair or be jealous.

Just keep studying and one day us 2+2ers will finally get to say: "that Strassa dude is one of our great players" [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
