next time you are the bubbleboy


Recommended Posts

and you feel like crap because you got busted on a pure bluff read this.His last hand at the Aussie Millions."One player that everyone follows like he really is Tiger Woods is Phil Ivey. Phil showed a lot of disdain for making the money and managed to bubble out in the following hand: he raised with Qx offsuit and Jamil called with AK offsuit, the flop came Jack high with two diamonds and Phil fired a decent sized bullet. Jamil thought for several minutes and called. The turn brought the king of diamonds. Phil fired another bullet of size. Jamil called after long thought. The river was the ace of diamonds, so now there are four diamonds on board and Phil has no pair and no flush, with Jamil having top two and no flush. Jamil must have felt like a cat on a hot tin roof and Ivey somehow must have sensed that.... After a long pause (do not read too much into that, folks, as I have seen Phil do this with huge hands as well as bluffs) Phil moved all-in! Long long long long thought by Jamil. How long? Well folks I was putting the time stamp on these hands and in one two hour period Jamil had a 14 minute hand (this one), a 13 minute hand, and numerous other hands that were over 5 minutes that he mucked on.... At long last Jamil called. Whoops, Phil was gone! An interesting and dramatic hand and a very difficult call by Jamil. Even Phil The Thrill pushes too far once in awhile.

I don't think seeing that ivey trying to make a play near the bubble and losing will justify my getting busted as a 4-1 favorite on the bubble any day. Then again, bubbling is part of poker tournaments sometimes, i've bubbled a few mtt's, and it's a crappy feeling, however, i think bubbling the final table is a worse feeling. (and then you go to grindin it out on low limits with your profits
