In the MONEY in Atlantic City

30 some player game (5,000) chips game at Harrahs (Atlantic City) yesterday.

I place 5th.. Up against a load of WILD players with average to poor skills.. (luck boxes)

Paid - $595.00

Cost of tourney... $175 + $25

I'll take it... The hand I went IN ON when I was about 10x the BB was POCKET 4's - against the table bully... He was betting EVERY button and every other hand in other POS. I figured him for a Any two RAISE - but figured wrong...

He had 10 10 and took me out.

It paid for everything .. Night at bar, hotel, gas slot play and meals.. (with a little extra for the ride home)

I'll take it.

Atlantic City Run

Quick! Someone tell me the best $100-200 NL tourney in Atlantic City, this friday (late) or Saturday (early)

Planning a trip to the beach..

Until then - I'm still working on my rentals, summer is slipping away..

2009, I really HOPE I get to play more poker and relax on my deck, enjoy the outdoors..etc.

Life sure moves FAST at times.. huh.

Playing a friends account (This might be wrong)

My way of thinking is this..

80% of hands going in with the BEST will lose on FULL TILT (if you are pegged as a quality player)

Here on a friends account "zzhook" I make another final table, I'm pretty happy right? I mean - it's been like a month or two since I played online and well, it's just nice to make the final tables often...

Even if you don't win - they're fun!

(SIDE NOTE - In this first SCREEN SHOT - NOTICE my friend DAN from across the pond, (picture) he's another ROUNDER and lover of the game. We were on Instant Messenger...chatting while I was playing. Dan is one of about "5" people who actually read my blog. lol. We talk poker from time to time.

Back to the ACTION!

So here is the hand I go with, UP against a HUGE STACK MANIAC..(who is PUSING ALL IN the last 7 hands) I have POSITION, and it turns out I have him GOING in... (huh.. how about that..) Having played MANY games on FULL TILT - I KNEW I was dead when I hit my 7 on flop..

Of course this MAJOR STACK player went into the "think tank" (thinking of calling or folding)and in last second - he called... They usually do.. They MUST do it - because they have been playing ON LINE for a time as well and "they know"... it's a BETTER than good chance that their weaker hand will HIT and take it down..

It happens in real life..(you get beat) yes it's true, just not as much. Weaker hands seem to have the chance of LOSING in real life card games... online - the weaker hands are actually the FAVORITE!




On full tilt - YOU WILL get action 97.9 % of the time.. MISSING cards really is a rare act online.

Hey - Up $22. - just killing time.. and I was in the hunt.

Hope you are all having fun playing - ANY QUESTIONS? Just Ask..

I'll probably not be posting much thru summer - TOO MUCH FUN to be had OUTSIDE in the HEAT!

Winters suck here - GOTTA LOVE SUMMER!
