your missing quite a few handsbut Im done!Grinder Bizzle what do you think

Just a gutter/pair/I think 2 bd flush draws but one for sure. Actually almost did ship but pussied out Thats such a dry flop he will cr that with air so frequently and I don't have terrible equity if called. He admitted to me after he would bluff a ton there but actually had it that time.

also whatever, i dont give a **** I hardly play these stupid things anyway. I'm gonna go to bed don't want to think anymore.(but seriously I do care you guys keep discussing this I'm curious) Some guys who are good at math like Bizzle and Cop should chime in.

prob not that far off if I'm shoving for value and Allen is potting/committing a v wide range like he was. I would fold dueces and 3s not sure if thats bad but if I had no f.e. I would. (pretty sure sticking it in w dueces is bad there but im not great at math)

I already said, if he pots it I'm never restealing light bc he put in 25% of his stack and he aint folding. But if he min raises things can def change. I actually think he was getting better than 3:2, i dont want to do the math now but the stack sizes were: He had 280 to start I had him slightly covered. In the hand he opened to 70, and my reshove essentially puts him ai so I think he would be getting 1.67:1. My 280shove+his 70 in middle=350 he has to call 210. I doubt you will convince me a fold will be correct at that price given the hands I will shove for value. Maybe if he min raise

obv...but I really do think his spot is fairly interesting

ya it sucksjc said he would limp the btn

Well if hes going to raise/fold he has to min raise bc potting/folding is real bad you just put in too much of your stack. Iguess min raise folding mayyyyybe could be acceptable just bc in pot limit you need less chips to have a successful resteal stack. I could easily be wrong. I've played very few pot limit holdem tournaments in my life so maybe min-raise folding is ok. (but then you have to go into the whole theory of "oh he min raised so now I have f.e. and can resteal light" which in turn would make his fold bad etc etc)

His play isn't horrible like alot of people are making it out to be...its actually a meh spot for him. He has 12ish bbs (280k at 12 24) , I'm obv not a fan of raise/folding w that stack,and not a fan of folding a suited ace on the btn there w his stack size/situation. Obviously it sucks for him once I 3 bet bc a)I'm never going to 3 bet light bc w that pot size open Allen is effectively committing himself and he knows that I know I have no f.e., so my shove is going to be purely for value 2) I'm playing very solid and not getting out of line since I was hurt badly by that blind battle w Max.

I think these were the only 2 biggish showdown hands I played that weren't reported: I think blinds 10k 20k Max limps I check Q3dd flop KQ8 w 2 spades he checks I check. Turn red 2 he bets almost min like 22k I call river 3 clubs he bets 35k I make it 80k he calls and mucks.I think blinds were 8k 16:Max open limps sb, I had raised his limps the last 2 times and 3 out of 5 overall between plo and holdem, and we had been going at it in blind battles so I check Q10 half suspecting a limp rr. Flop AQ10 r he checks I bet 28kish he calls turn 9 puts bd fd out there he checks I bet 60k he snap call

sigh

Thx for the support guys....hopefully I can ship the bracelet tomorrow.Most of us are bunched fairly closely in chips so one double and I'm good. There were a few spots today that I thought were pretty interesting...one hand vs Cunningham that will have me thinking for a long time. If anyone is in Vegas and wants to rail feel free to come out.

does anyone in Vegas want to play golf tomorrow say around 1? pm me or call me asap before i go to bed

Also reading this thread makes my head hurt....what is everyone so worked up over?

dudeIt took like 15 minutes of my time to send him the pms...I estimated that the chance of this bet ever happening was <1%, but what does it hurt to try? No money was "shuffled" around btw

Made the $ but busted 92nd or something....grinded a short stack for like 3 and a half hours and never really had any great spots to get chips. But honestly I don't feel like I played my A game today, maybe its tourney depression idk. I'm always ridic hard on myself after sessions/tourneys so I'm sad at the moment.

min cashed the 1500 6max today meh

im playin

I sent Bjorn a pm last night before I went to bed and he didn't respond.....He said in this thread that it was shipped but afaik its not there yet. JC is still sleeping, but I'm pretty sure I would have received a confirmation pm from Bjorn if he shipped $25,000.

poopy day. Busted in the first level, heres my bustout hand/only hand I saw past the flop:I have like 5kish at 600/1200 limits so I need to get the money in.co opens, I 3 bet AA9J ss he calls. Flop J 10 4 w fd he bets I raise he calls. Turn Q c, bet, call. River 10 he checks i put the rest in he calls w A1025 no flush draw sighhh.

Here is the contract he accepted (Thanks to Naismith and Acid for writing this up):1) JC Alvarado ("PrtyPSux") will act as escrow for the bet.2) Bjorn Peters will place $25,000.00 in escrow, risking $25,000.00 to win $34,375.00.3) Jonathan Depa will place $34,375.00 in escrow, risking $34,375.00 to win $25,000.00.4) Bjorn Peters is victorious in the bet and shall receive $34,375.00 from escrow if Daniel Negreanu DOES NOT finish in 30th place or better in any 2008 World Series of Poker tournament event outside of the exempted tournaments listed in rule #6.5) Jonathan Depa is victorious in the b

Haven't heard back from Bjorn and I'm leaving for the Rio now.....won't be able to update until later (hopefully much later).Bjorn,Can you please pm Naismith as well once you accept? He will be around today and will be able to let you guys know the status better than me.edit: He PMed me and said he accepted.....now we just have to wait for him to send the $ to JC. I will make a list of ppls action later.

Contract pmed to Bjorn....waiting on his response and then I will post it and start tallying up the official action.BTW, to everyone that wants in on this: I'm going to try my best to give everyone action who wants 1k+. I might not be able to give everything that you want but should be able to give at least a piece to most. Also, I won't be fronting $, so once he accepts I need the $ asap or your spot will be filled.

Bjorn is going to put up $25k. We agreed upon a 1.375:1 price because it was a middle ground between the 1.25:1 I wanted and the 1.5:1 he wanted. So he is going to risk $25k to win $34,375. So we have to come up with $34,375. I'm willing to put up $15,000 initially and possibly more. Depends on other things but I have to see how much a few others want. If you want action on this bet please post the amt you want in this thread. I can't guarantee anything but I will try to accomodate everyone.I'll talk to everyone tomorrow.

Ill pm you tomorrow
