Bertoli 0 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Ok heres something you guys might actually like. When I was down inVegas in September I got to the Bellagio to play in the 2 5 blind no limit game( which was retarded by the way with max 200 buy in), when I noticed that the big game was going three handed with Ivey, Greestein and David Benyamine. About halfway through my session I saw the game break up and Benyamine had busted the both of them. He had all the chips racked up was leaving a happy man. Link to post Share on other sites

insano 0 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I think that overall one big win is nothing in that game. Great, he came away a winner one time. Awesome. He probobly will continue to play and lose his remaining bankroll and then cry to someone like DN about staking him. Link to post Share on other sites
turd ferguson 1 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I'm an attention whoreFYPP.S. Calm down. Just because nobody responded to you doesn't mean nobody read your story. There isn't any real reason to respond to this post, but it's still cool to read. Thanks for posting. P.S. Tiger Woods sells Buicks. Link to post Share on other sites
Socrates 0 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 My opinion is that anyone who thinks the 2/5 game at the Bellagio is retarted must not like money or just isn't very good. That game is the biggest seafood buffet in town. As long as you have a couple of buy-ins it can be great. Link to post Share on other sites

That game is the biggest seafood buffet in town. As long as you have a couple of buy-ins it can be great.I believe he was referring to the fact that you can only buy in for 40 big blinds so there isn't a lot of room to play. He didn't say anything about it not being fishy. I agree with him on that point though. A $200 max buy in for a $2/$5 blind no limit game is ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites

Â You know that guy's never gotten laidAfter days of brainstorming, I thought I had come up with username that would give me the utmost credibilty on an internet forum and signify that I am indeed a certified stud. I did not take into account that someone as sharp and witty as you would call my bluff. Link to post Share on other sites
cen 0 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 maybe it's Virginia Man?who knows?anyways... I saw barry playing in their room when i was at the bellagio as well, couldn't tell who else was playing though...I tried to take a picture and they got pissed! Link to post Share on other sites
Foulky 0 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 That was a cool story... I think I love reading about the Big Game more than anything else on this forum. I'm pumped that Daniel is playing in it again. P.S. DNA, when did you change the avatar? Link to post Share on other sites
Bertoli 0 Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 thanks for backing me up ferguson. The reason that game is dumb is you are almost always pot commited after the turn bet. 20 bucks preflop 2 callers = 60$ Turn bet = 60 one caller = all your chips on the river. Too hard to get away from a hand. Link to post Share on other sites
elkang 0 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 The last time I went to Bellagio, the minimum buy in was $200. :?also, glad to see David Benyamin hanging around the big game. He had gone done $1M in his first sessions way back in September. He was confident in his skill set and I could see the amount of passion he had to prove himself or win in that game.

Bertoli 0 Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 The reason it had a 200$ cap was because they weren't spreading a 2 -2 blind game at the same time. After a couple of hours they opened a smaller game and i asked to buy up to 500 in the 2 5 game but they said no. Link to post Share on other sites
PokerDealer2005 0 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 That game is a joke, the reaosn they put the 200max on it is because they dont want it to compete with their 600$ buy in no limit game they have. But buying in for 200$ at 2-5 is ridiculuous, plus the rake is horrible for that game. Link to post Share on other sites
