New Orleans WSOP: Some great poker

[sauroneru]

This is the most fabulous poker I have ever seen being played. Worse than a home game. I've seen tourney people call all-in with the nut low ("I guess I have the odds..."), call 90% of their stack to a pot-sized turn bet with an inside straight draw, call anything with a backdoor higher 2 pair draw, and bet top pair 9 kicker like it was the nuts (which, in all fairness, it was). I've seen someone with a $480 stack at $10/$25 cash game call $425 preflop (heads up) and fold to the flop bet, and of course an inside straight draw on a paired board with two suits is a hand you simply can't get away from. It's amazing. Of course, I'm down several thousand, as I'm apparently worse than the competition...

Sadly i just got back from there and i had the same results. Lost every event i played to a 2 outer or less after the flop, and the cash games were just as bad. Sometimes you just run bad man, gotta accept it and move on.

Can't wait until I turn 21 to take the 5 minute drive to catch me some fish...

Then I'm off to the casino!

This kind of play is the key to the city's recovery. I know it's keeping me alive.

Tourney. Blinds $25/$50. UTG raises to $150, 3 callers, then a reraise to $900 (he has $2100 total). 1 random caller. Flop Q93 rainbow. Check, reraiser pushes all-in for last $1200. The other guy groans then calls. He flips over A8, and the reraiser has AK. A8 gets totally excited and screams "I knew you had nothing! Ha! Alright! Now I just need an 8." Turn is an 8. I have seen like 4 other good players out of hundreds...

thinly vailed brag:



and yes these games are redic soft. Pushed allin on the bubble, with AJo for 5k chips at 600/1200 with 200 antes over a 3k raise the guy tanked forever asked if i would show, mucked TT faceup and was happy bout his laydown. The cash games are insane and lots of loose action. I just hope all live poker can be this easy
