Had I but known!Actually, I did wear an FCP.com hat when I first showed up, but then I pocketed it when I realized I'd have to put tape over the .com to wear it.

Hmm, I was just lamenting the fact that I didn't stand up and do the krablar dance at the table, but then I realized what an a-hole I would have looked like.The spectators surely would have loved it.

So I'm down to probably 18-19k in the 2nd level of day 2. Blinds at 300/600, ante 75.It folds around to me on the button and I've got a lovely K3o. Of course I raise to 2k.Markus Golser is in the SB and reraises to something like 5.5 or maybe 6k. He's got a lot of chips and has been reraising often. When pressed further, I've seen him count out his chips and then fold. Furthermore, he's only facing a button raise and probably thinks I'm capable of fooling around...I wasn't fooling though! I really had that krablar, so I moved in on him. He asked for a count, handled his chips for a moment, and

Anybody get their chips yet?

4-2 diamonds. All day, baby.

Any news?

What's the news on the FCP chip sets (for those who chose to wait)? I don't remember when they were supposed to come in, but my internal clock tells me it was around nowish.

I played some heads up strip poker once. 5 card draw, no betting, so very minimal skill. I remember one hand she had trip 4s and I had something like a pair of 9s. She thought she lost and proceeded to take her shirt off. I didn't bother correcting her until she was naked.

Those who are saying Ted's bet is categorically wrong here are being pretty silly. It is 100% factual to say that betting the flop improves Ted's chances of winning the hand. The chips in the pot were not insignificant to Ted's stack at all. Without knowing Ted's goals or motives here, you really can't say the bet was wrong. He vastly improved his chances of winning the tournament.Ted Forrest has shown his hand-reading skills to be elite and to be honest, this situation was very easy to read. Ted is well ahead of Kido's range and clearly behind Bell's range. It also wasn't tough to figure out

Meh, I just edited my bracket using Microsoft Works (I don't have Excel), and when I tried to attach the file, I was told it was empty or invalid. Not sure what I can do now.Edit - All right, got a bracket in. Open Office helped.

Nevermind.

I believe you have a point about the PL Omaha final table, which I assume Negreanu forgot about. The others don't count because Daniel specifically said OPEN events, and the events you listed were all invite only. Even worse, Phil didn't earn his invite to the most recent TOC. He was unfairly added into the tournament to boost ratings.

Sure you won a poker tournament...But can you see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

Hum, don't take my word for it because I was wrong. I calculated yesterday that we needed 18.2% pot equity for a breakeven call but we really only need 15.4%. I had taken "2085/11455 x 100" rather than "2085/13540 x 100".So it's still a bad call if we're facing 3 overpairs, but 2 is fine. With imperfect information, we should clearly call. Our opponents weren't deepstacked and as you say, it was a freeroll.

Stewdio's actually more right than wrong here. If the cards had been face up, 99 should've folded when it came back because he wasn't getting nearly the odds he needed. Being up against 3 pps IS different from being up against 1. Run the numbers for yourself and you'll see this. I think what I found yesterday was this...If 0 of the 3 hands are overpairs, he obviously has a very profitable callIf 1 of the 3 hands is an overpair, he has a slightly profitable callIf 2 of the 3 hands is an overpair, he has a slightly -EV callIf all 3 hands are overpairs, he has a significantly -EV callI already ga
