" PokerStars Party

In a room full of wily and wildly attractive old pro's as gathered for last night's PokerStars Aussie Millions party, you'd think the wild optimism of youth might be scarce.

But that would be modesty, and that's not poker is it?

"Ma'am, I am going to crush this competition" Jimmy Fricke from Mahomet, Illinois told me. "The play I've seen here so far, this tourney is mine!"



In truth I had wandered over to Jimmy and his posse to gently make sure they were of legal drinking age. They were, in Australia at least, but none of them were old enough to have a beer or gamble at home in the USA.

As I chatted to nineteen year old Jimmy and his buddies, Cameron,19 and Aaron, 18 ...

... So, daunting company Jimmy? Not in the slightest. "I'm a pro" he said. And a later trawl around the internet showed me that he has cashed more than $40 000 in the past six months, with his most recent result 22nd place in the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure No Limit Hold'Em championship last week in the Bahamas.

Jimmy dropped out of Maths and Computer studies at College to focus on his game. "My peers at college probably earn a hundred bucks a week in their part time jobs, I'm making ten times that already."

So what's his strategy for today? "In the beginning, accumulate chips. In the middle game, pick up a lot of pots, and in the end game, I am not going to make a single mistake because that might cost me everything."

Sounds just like a pro. I'll let you know how he does."



"**update** 4.30pm

A quick lap around the tournament floor shows some of our players building healthy stacks early in the competition. With the average stack at 21.5k, David Papallo has 40k and Jimmy Fricke, who told me last night (see PokerStars Party report) "Ma'am I am going to crush this tournament" is on a very pretty 43k."



edit: btw: "a later trawl around the internet showed me that he has cashed more than $40 000 in the past six months" -- lol

A FRICKEn lesson

Jimmy Fricke is showing the big guns of Seidel, Judah and Argyros how to do it. Over running them with consistant aggressive betting. Jimmy now up to 50K.

Extracurricular Table Activities

In between mucking hands early on Day 1, one player was caught watching porn on his iPod by one of our roving reporters.



That may be the worst thing I've ever heard.

[danielg]

A FRICKEn miracle
Let me be the first to tell you Jimmy Fricke is blessed. On a board reading Fricke moves all in with , only to be called by the young Robert Kay who holds . A great call by Rob, the turn is the and with everyone in the crowd watching the case peels off for Robert to jump up and scream his lungs out, while Jimmy remains motionless and yet again scoop in another big pot. The way things are going its Jimmy Frickes to lose.
