OT: DevinLake strikes at the Venetian deep stack series

AMT · #1 06-23-2007, 06:58 AM

Today Devin decided to play the 540 NL deep stack event at the venetian (bc he took it off me at nl200 the night before obv).

In STTF uber pwnage fashion, Devin cashed in a 32 way chop (560ish runners, top 40 cashed) where the top 5 stacks got 11k and the rest of the field chopped evenly for just under 8k a piece. The stacks were very short at the end so the deal was a great one for basically 8th place money, but I'll let Devin do justice to the thread from here on out. Congrats Dev!

and LOL 32WAYCHOPAMENTS

AMT and I sweated this for probably 3 hours and Devin didn't play a hand. It was still exciting though because we spent most of the time discussing the EV of the chop and various horrible players.

Way to go and a ship it holla. A stress free score like this couldn't have happened to a more deserving and awesome guy.

32 way chop!! where's the heartach and misiry in that! this is poker people, you denied 31 people the agony of defeat.

oh-congrates.

lacky · #7 06-23-2007, 08:36 AM

oh, and, for the future. 31 people woulda hated me. if you ever get 90%+ of a group of 10 or more players wanting a chop, never, ever do it unless they give you the world. I can tell you with utter certainty they all suck, have never or rarely ever been deep and are uncertain of what to do.

edit-please don't take that as directed towards you in any way devin, not the way i intended it.

Nice score Devin.

Details of how the chop was arranged? How do you get 32 ppl to agree on ANYTHING, much less $$$?
