GWCGWC 83 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 FIGGER 2007 NEGREANU OPEN HORSE CHAMPION!recap:After getting super short stacked early Figger doubled up twice and got back into the mix. Three handed found Figgs third in chips and Checky had a commanding chip lead. Jamie then decided he would double up both players several times during LHE. When heads up, a chop was talked about as the rail berated both players mercilessly. After the players were properly shamed, the chop was nixed and both players went for the kill. Figger eventually bested Blacktie in LO8. Grats Figger for playing some damn good poker and hitting some key hands at key moments. The precedent set last week is killing these.STOP THE CHOPS.GODDAMMIT.They ended up playing it out, so that's cool. I don't think I want to play this anymore if chops will be allowed.

I guess I could have just played it out and given away the call, but it's just something I'm really not interested in (sorry DN), I'd rather play for an hour heads up and get to ask questions at a private table, then to talk on the phone. Anyways...I apologize for the chop talk and I agree that it should not be allowed in Neg-O's. I already rallied against this and should have kept to my beliefs. Link to post Share on other sites
blacktie31 0 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 David,Great match. I hope you played your best.Congrats on 2nd.I always do, been stompin round the house about 2nd for a bit, lolI made a few bad mistakes in the omaha/8 though, and you capitalized on them well.Plus a super stand up guy on the chop. I agree that they shouldn't be allowed, I usually don't go for them, but I guess the call with DN was my "PRICE"Prob need to do some personal character research.Congrats on the win and a well played tourney.David Link to post Share on other sites

sandwedge 30 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Congrats Figger! You are definitely deserving of the the crown.I'm still on massive tilt after totally misplaying a hand in the Nego last night. You know what's worse than knowing you're behind and calling all the way down hoping to suck out? Forgetting that it's stud8 and that you're really only trying to suck out for half the pot.I spent my 90 minute drive home this morning beating myself up for playing like a complete idiot. Then I realized that it's a testament to how I feel about the Nego's. I definitely believe that it's the most talented field you'll ever see in a $10 tournament. I really respect several of y'alls games, and I look forward each week to going to battle with you. Add to that the FCP comraderie, and it's the highlite of my week. Link to post Share on other sites
