I don't really understand his play here... There is only one card in the deck that beats him... The Qs. The chances of me having that card is extremely low, and he check calls me on the river. I thought for sure he would check-raise, hence the min bet. Hmph! Oh well!

Just another Wednesday
Before I get started I want to clarify a small point from an earlier Heeb post. I have won 2 multis (and finished an additional fourth) in tourneys with at least 800 runners. I hate to blow my own horn, but someone has to point out the most accomplished poker player in this group...
Ok, now on to an interesting adventure last night (and into this morning). I made the trek up to Pechanga alone again. I invited Sinatra and the Heeb (of course), but only heard excuses of no money and fatherhood.. I am on that road myself so I will cut them a break. I arrived to the poker room around 11:15 and took an open 4/8 while I waited for a 8/16 seat to open. Not much happened here except for the usual 2 outer on the river and the mumblings of donkeys on how nothing ever goes there way. JJ held (unbelieveable) in the one pot I did play for a 20 dollar profit before I left this sad group to their chasing and complaining.
On to 8/16 after a 30-40 minute wait. I bought in for an additional 140 putting me to 250 in front of me. I would feel more comfortable w/ 400 but for some reason eveyone here always buys in for 1 rack of 2.00 chips. Why break tradition? I have seat 4, which coincidently was the same seat that turned in that stack of chips that I have a picture of on my cell phone. I'm not much of a storyteller but I will try to give you a description of the players before I get into a few hands and results.
Seat 1: GG, Grouchy Guy. This was actually 2 different guys during my 5 hour session, but they were very similar. Both started at 200 and lost it before they left. Both played weak tight, and expected to lose every time.
Seat 2: WLA, Wierd Asian Lady. I have seen her but never played with her before . Imagine a pastel blue sweatsuit, too much makeup and intelligible speech. Started w/ 200 and was about even after 5 hours. She plays pretty well; I noticed if she calls the turn, she will call the river, even with a busted hand.
Seat 3: OT, "One Time", I hear people call him Bob, but that can't be his name. He is an older Asian guy who wears a floppy hat. I have played with him at least 3 or 4 times. He played about 50% of the hands and called every draw he had a chance at. Most times he will announce "one time" before calling. One thing is for sure, if he thinks he has an out, he is calling to the end. Needless to say he won a few big pots but eventually lost over 400.
Seat 4: Our hero
Seat 5: UCS, Ultimate Calling Station. She had at least 1200-1500 in front of her. Do not try to bully her, she is calling w/ 3rd pair and no kicker. I was lucky to see this happen 3 times before i even played a hand. She was a 50ish European sitting next to her maniac husband/boyfriend. I was pleased to see her under 800 before I left.
Seat 6: M, Maniac. He quickly became my nemesis. He was the most volatile of the group, at times up big, but frequently re-buying. He played at least 75% of the hands. He was down at least 600 when I left.
Seat 7: No consistent player here. When there was a board we got a new player, but the maniac always seemed to scare them away.
Seat 8: Shades. He was a good player, tight agressive. He spent his time reading and listening to music. When he took a break, he actually removed his hat and glasses and I realized he was at least 40, when I originally guessed 20-24. He was a bit cocky, but someone to look out for. He would limp w/ AK and JJ, which was confusing. Good thing it worked against him as much as it helped him. He was up 600+ when I left.
Seat 9: There were a mix of players here also. My favorite was a young girl and her friend who sat down, played every hand and lost 200 in 15 minutes. LOL, go play 2/4 moron.
So after I buy in , I have 3 hands to the BB. While I'm waiting, I start to make observations, order a soda and formulate strategy. I am laughing at myself thinking it would be great to sit between this ugly European couple. You know, calling station on my right and maniac to my left.
Hand 1: A3 spades in the bb. M raises; Shades, GG and One Time all call. How can I resist? Flop comes 933, two diamonds. Nice start. I bet and... It is capped before it gets to me. What the hell am I doing here? Is this 2/4? I choose to call since I must be ahead. Unless.. there is a 99 out there. If I had 99, I would never raise the flop. I felt pretty good so far since everyone in the pot raised the flop except OT, and he must have diamonds anyway. Turn is a Qc. Good card. I bet since there is no reason to expect I wont be raised. M raises, all fold and OT calls. I call too. I repeat..What the hell? What did you call on the flop that is now no good? Ks on the river. Looks good for me so I check raise M, after OT folds. He reraises, I call to find......... K3 off! YAY, 3 outer. Second position raise w/ k3? This hand set the tone for the rest of the night, so I guess it was a blessing.
Round 2: Maniac has a kill pot (16/32). He is in the bb. All fold to me. I look down at QJc and raise. UTC and M both call. Great, 2 against 1. Flop comes K47, 2 spades. UTC checks, M Bets, I raise. She thinks for a minute and folds, then he folds immediately. Nice. This was the only time I tried to buy a pot from these two and it worked.
The rest of the night went pretty well. I won a big pot w/ KK, just jamming the pot. I played my cards when I got them and avoided getting tricky. All in all, it went well. cashed out for 1000 and some change at about 4:30. The game was down to 6 handed and Pai Gow was calling.
I left at 6:30 or so w/ 1500 in my pocket feeling pretty good. To bad I hit the fucking morning traffic in the rain and didnt get home until 7:45. Had to call in sick (and i definitely was by the time I got into bed).
Maybe the Donkey can move down so I will have someone to go play with next time.. I'll need help to carry my chips.......

A good weekend, all around
My pathetic fantasy football team finally won their second game this week... sheesh. Instead of being in sole posession of last place, I am now in a three-way tie.
I got lucky that LT came through this week... but honestly, he was due. No rushing or receiving TDs the last 2 weeks killed me.
Played some poker this weekend after getting my ass handed to me all week. Did fairly well. I won't bore anybody with the poker tracker stats, but here's the highlights:
Played in a $30 multi-table tourney and finished second out of 330 players. My best finish in a multi yet. When we went heads up, the guy had me outchipped T309,000 to 21,000. Hahaha... I moved all in on the first hand with 5-6d and got called by jack high, I never improved but was happy with my 2nd place finish and collected $1400 for my effort. I took a screen shot, and once I figure out how to, I'll put it up to brag some more.
In the tournament, I was dealt 313 hands and won 60 pots. I saw the flop 75 times and won 54% of the time I saw the flop. The key stat in any NLHE multi-table tourney: I won 92% of the showdowns. Including the last hand I lost (obviously), I only lost 2 other showdowns over the entire 4 hours. One of them was with AK when I flopped a K and pocket jacks (the short stack on the table) moved all in on me and caught a J on the river.
Early on, one guy "donked off" half his stack to me when I called his bluff with top two pair. I held A-Q and the flop came with a Q and 2 diamonds. He checked to me and I bet out half the pot. He cold-called me and the turn brought me a black Ace. Again he checked and I bet out half the pot. The river was a black blank and when I bet half the pot, he min check-rasied me. I thought for a moment that he might be slowplaying a set, but with the two diamonds on the flop, I doubted he would continue to give me free cards. I called and he flipped over two baby diamonds for a busted flush draw and I dragged a big pot.
I did get lucky, of course... I hit TWO 3-outers (AJ v AK and KJ v KQ) after moving all-in within 30 minutes of making the money. I also won a couple of coinflips where I held the best hand going into it.
All together, a great feeling to come in second. This is my second top 5 finish in the last 3 weeks, but I'm still searching for that first place finish. River Rat is the only contributor on this site that has the dubious distinction of finishing 1st in a large multi.
... But my time is comming!

DOTW for Oct 31st
Hello all, it is time for the DOTW. Let's get right down to business.
1. Tiffany Williamson - I don't know how this woman made it to almost the final table and the biggest payout to a woman in WSOP history. She must have gotten really lucky. What was she waiting for in deciding whether or not to laydown her KJs. I mean you don't call an all in bet with that hand at that point of the biggest tournament in the world. I don't blame Sheikan for not showing her his hand either. I know she is inexperienced considering the stage some things can be looked over but that was ridiculous.
Now, since I recently started the DOTW, there was a lot of TV poker in the past that I didn't get a chance to review. So from time to time when I come across older poker events and there are some suspect players, I will discuss what I like to call "Classic Donkeys".
This week the "Classic Donkey" award goes to Danny Nguyen from the Bay 101 shooting stars WPT event this past March. The Action Donkey recently played in a tournament with the Donkey at his former place of employment Garden City. I don't know how he finished since I busted out in the 3rd level. Anyways back to why he is a donkey.
He got very lucky in that tournament. There are too many Donkeyish plays to recap them all. I'll highlight just a couple. Danny is in the small blind ($5,000-$10,000 blinds with $1,000 ante) and The great Dane Gus Hansen raises up to $28,000. Danny calls with 34 spades. Flop comes As-Kc-2d. The big blind who had K-10 I think bet's out for $100,000. Gus calls and so does Danny with a gutshot. He needs a 5. The turn is a Js and Danny then bets out $100,000. Big blind folds and Gus calls. River is the miracle 5 and Danny makes his gutshot and checks it to Gus hoping he would bet but Gus of course checked. I don't know maybe it was a great play, but I really don't think it was.
Ok, just one more because this post would be longer than War and Peace if I describe all of his donkey behavior. Quick thanks to my friends at Cardplayer for their meticulous event logs.
Hand #74 - Danny Nguyen goes all in again, and this time he is called by Shandor Szentkuti. Shandor has A-K, and Danny has A-7. The flop comes K-5-5, and Shandor is drawing dead to two running sevens. The turn card is the 7, causing the crowd to "ooh" and "aah," and giving Danny hope, but he's still a long shot. The river card is ... a 7!
Enough said.....Eeyaww-eeyaww

Week 9, a Turning Point
This is the most important fantasy week for me this year. I am at 4-4 (tied for 4th w/ the donkey) and facing The Heeb and his 1-7 record. This is a great chance for him to play spoiler. I cannot afford to drop below 500 w/ 3 teams at 7-1 (good year for Sinatra so far). I have some tough choices to make this week but we will see if they work out. My prediction is that if I can take care of this week then I will make the first round of playoffs and then lose to the OJ's in the first round. We'll see...
Unlike the Donkey, I have been playing cards quite a bit. $20 SNG's, 5/10 and 10/20 online and 4/8 and 8/16 up at Pechanga. I have had mild success at these levels over the past few months. I dont have any fancy stat tracker to share, so I apologize. I dont have many pearls of wisdom today, I just need to get back to posting. One tip for Josh and Stew.. I have recently found some pretty tight/weak play on the 2/4 tables at pp.
Fishing season is here!
See you at the river (and always beware of KQ suited)

DOTW for week of Oct 24th
Hello to all of my loyal readers. It is time for my second installment of DOTW. This week was a tough one in deciding who took the cake in total Donkey action. ESPN ME coverage filled me with a lot of potential candidates and even the Ladies Night on WPT even gave me a few to choose from so I've decided to go against the rules and dole out numerous winners.
1. Steve Dannenmann - How this guy made it to the final table I don't know, we shall see but his play was suspect. It wasn't that his play was that bad but what makes him eligible for DOTW is his bluffing "The Professor" (BTW, if you don't know who the Professor is, please stop reading this blog) and then calling his buddy to brag right after the hand. That was ridiculous to call his buddy and sad for him ESPN caught him doing it.
Note to Donkeys: If you do something really Donkeyish during the WSOP,
ESPN will catch it and air it.
Don't call your friend after a bluff, call him at the end of the day if you survive then tell him about your play
2. "The Professors" TV table - That whole table just gave there chips away especially that donkey who went all in and Lederer had practically the nuts.
3. The Stinky Guy - Man was that guy a donkey just for being annoying and smelly. Maybe across the pond it is ok not to wash your clothes but c'mon man. Also please Shut the F%$# UP!!! Last year Mattias Anderson and now this year that fool.
4. Jennifer Tilly - Now now you ladies out there don't flame me on this choice. I know she is the reigning ladies champ at the WSOP and won the WPT ladies night event but I think her play is extremely aggressive, loose and donkeyish. Of course they edit the show so we don't see every hand but I felt it was obvious that she didn't have anything on some of those hands. Granted I'm not under the lights and pressure so I may have done some of those laydowns but be aggressive ladies, you know she doesn't always have a big hand.
5. The guy playing against Layne Flack - Layne Flack opens the pot with AJ off suit. Get's reraised by a guy with pocket 6's. I don't mind the reraise but Layne may be the wrong person to do this against. Flop comes jack high and and turn an ace. Layne throws out a 20k bet on the river and the donkey calls him. You gotta know you are beat at that point. Give Layne some credit.
6. The other guy playing against Layne Flack - Layne raises with junk, get's re-raised with a guy with 54 and flop comes with an ace. Layne bet's, get reraised, then re-raises and the guy calls. They check it down and then the guy doesn't want to show his cards because he knows he is a donkey.
Another Note: When it goes down to the river, show your dam cards. I hate these guys who won't show there cards. Example: Kondraki flopping a set of 6's vs. pocket Q's.
7. Mike Matusow - JUST BECAUSE
Last Note: Raymer was the man in this tourney and if it wasn't for a donkey play that crippled him with about 3-4 tables left, he may have made the final table and made history. Matusow just needs to shut his yap. Got him nowhere except a bench to cry on last year. I applaud his performance this year but show some respect to Raymer...and I don't want to hear the BS that his is trying to get under his skin. Raymer proved last year that doesn't work.
Well I'm sure I've missed a few but hey it's a tough job keeping track of all the donkey's out there. See ya yall next week.

1. Steve Dannenmann - How this guy made it to the final table I don't know, we shall see but his play was suspect. It wasn't that his play was that bad but what makes him eligible for DOTW is his bluffing "The Professor" (BTW, if you don't know who the Professor is, please stop reading this blog) and then calling his buddy to brag right after the hand. That was ridiculous to call his buddy and sad for him ESPN caught him doing it.
Note to Donkeys: If you do something really Donkeyish during the WSOP,
ESPN will catch it and air it.
Don't call your friend after a bluff, call him at the end of the day if you survive then tell him about your play
2. "The Professors" TV table - That whole table just gave there chips away especially that donkey who went all in and Lederer had practically the nuts.
3. The Stinky Guy - Man was that guy a donkey just for being annoying and smelly. Maybe across the pond it is ok not to wash your clothes but c'mon man. Also please Shut the F%$# UP!!! Last year Mattias Anderson and now this year that fool.
4. Jennifer Tilly - Now now you ladies out there don't flame me on this choice. I know she is the reigning ladies champ at the WSOP and won the WPT ladies night event but I think her play is extremely aggressive, loose and donkeyish. Of course they edit the show so we don't see every hand but I felt it was obvious that she didn't have anything on some of those hands. Granted I'm not under the lights and pressure so I may have done some of those laydowns but be aggressive ladies, you know she doesn't always have a big hand.
5. The guy playing against Layne Flack - Layne Flack opens the pot with AJ off suit. Get's reraised by a guy with pocket 6's. I don't mind the reraise but Layne may be the wrong person to do this against. Flop comes jack high and and turn an ace. Layne throws out a 20k bet on the river and the donkey calls him. You gotta know you are beat at that point. Give Layne some credit.
6. The other guy playing against Layne Flack - Layne raises with junk, get's re-raised with a guy with 54 and flop comes with an ace. Layne bet's, get reraised, then re-raises and the guy calls. They check it down and then the guy doesn't want to show his cards because he knows he is a donkey.
Another Note: When it goes down to the river, show your dam cards. I hate these guys who won't show there cards. Example: Kondraki flopping a set of 6's vs. pocket Q's.
7. Mike Matusow - JUST BECAUSE
Last Note: Raymer was the man in this tourney and if it wasn't for a donkey play that crippled him with about 3-4 tables left, he may have made the final table and made history. Matusow just needs to shut his yap. Got him nowhere except a bench to cry on last year. I applaud his performance this year but show some respect to Raymer...and I don't want to hear the BS that his is trying to get under his skin. Raymer proved last year that doesn't work.

Flame For Me
Hey guys -
Do me a huge favor. Log onto the fantasy football league and post a message about Rupp. His flaming has become very personal lately and I'm not happy about it. Rather than fighting back and lowering myself to his level, it would be a whole helluva lot more effective if you guys posted a message telling him how stupid he's being and that he needs to chill out. I deleted his last message but he put it back up there with more harsh words. I really don't want to have to kick him out of the league, but I will if this continues. Oh, and please don't be nice about whatever you have to say.
Thanks guys,
