Title: Phil Ivey Eliminated in 20th Place ($304,680)
Log:
Hand 58 - Aaron Kanter has the button in seat 3, and Black raises, winning the blinds and antes.
Hand 59 - Ayhan Alsancak has the button in seat 5, and it looks like Kanter limps, Alsancak raises, Ivey calls, and the action after that is unclear.
Before you know it Kanter and Ivey are both all in, with pocket kings (Kc-Ks) for Kanter, and pocket jacks (Jd-Jc) for Ivey. Ivey is the shorter stack, and needs to improve to stay alive in this tournament. The flop comes Kd-8d-4h, and Kanter takes a huge lead with a set of kings. Ivey needs to catch running jacks or running diamonds to stay alive. The turn card is the 10d, and Ivey can win with any diamond. The river card is the 3h, and Phil Ivey is eliminated in 20th place, earning $304,680.
Too bad for Matusowā¦
Anyway, the live feed on cardplayer.com has been awesome. You have to download the garbage that is realplayer, but whatever.
damn, matusow must be taking it something hard right nowā¦
WTF this sounds terrible! Iāll have to see this one on TV to understand at all. The flop is 356 rainbow and the guy calls with QJ, then is all in on just a flush draw?
From the interview on cardplayer, Kanter said he was calling and then trying to represent a big hand on the turn. Unfortunately for him, Raymer had the cowboys. And unfortunately for Raymer, Kanter caught lightning in a bottle with the runner runnerā¦
once you clear bonus, there really is no reason whatsoever to stay on Party Pokerā¦ withdraw all fundsā¦ and wait for the the next bonus, or move on to the next site.
that last hand of the WSOP was DOPE! top 2 pair vs straight
I ended up making 180$ profit after the bonus cleared. I kinda screwed myself cuz i left 20 bucks in the account to play some tournaments and now i got 2 dollars stuck in there that i cant withdraw or get rid of. Will i not get a reload offer with 2 bucks in the account?
SvN, what kind of tables u running on PartyPoker?
Ok I will turn to the collective wisdom of SRK for this one:
In Hold 'em, heads up play, is the dealer small blind?
Most people say Iām crazy, but Phil Gordon says it every time on celebrity poker, I remember watching WSOP to verify and I seem to remember it being that way, AND thereās this from an online tourneyā¦
Table ā1742790 512ā One on One Seat #1 is the button
Seat 1: Don Quixote (335,360 in chips)
Seat 2: tobiper (1,200,640 in chips)
Don Quixote: posts small blind 7680
tobiper: posts big blind 15360
So someone settle this shit because itās annoying arguing with people when Iām clearly either correct or both ways are acceptable (I doubt it)
The only other explanation is that in cash games itās dealer=big and tourney is dealer=small.
Dealer is small blind and acts first yep.
only pre-flop. postflop dealer acts last.
wait, if i remember correctly from watching Rounders, the dealer is the big blind. on the last hand of Rounders, KGB dealt the cards, and was last to act pre-flop. matt damon was small blind and he wasnāt dealer.
okay BOOK RECOMMENDATIONSā¦
super system II: the book is too big for pretty much for ALL of pokerā¦i just want HOLD EM. is this good enough?
Poker book of tells: Viscant said itās common knowledge, but do i need to find more in the book to actually get a better sense of TELLS??
Dan Harringtonās books: i heard some good reviewsā¦any good?
Small Stakes Holdem: itās mainly to play against LOOSE, Wreckless playersā¦but when i play against tight-aggressiveā¦the book is useless??
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATEDā¦i know svnguyen has told me to get some of these booksā¦but what book would be best for me to sit at a table (tournament or live) and playing poker. iām sorry sean, if iām being repetitive, but i wanna know whatās worth my money for 2-3 books. thanks!
