November News
First of all, congrats to Barny Boatman on his runner up finish at the Midland Masters. The Hendon Mob League Final is tomorrow night and one of 10 lucky forum readers will be off to Las Vegas with the Mob to the Bellagio WPT.
Below is a table by Steve Brecher from Full Tilt Poker's Lessons from the Pros #37. The figures carry some assumptions for simplification but the table is self explanatory.
DaMatrix's online player of the week award goes to "Ozzy 87" from Houston. I've been very impressed with their poker to say the least. He's won a 2 tournaments in a week at Pokerstars at the same time as owning the NL $25/$50 and $50/$100 tables at Ultimate Bet.
Here are Ozzy 87's cashes from PokerStars in a little over a week from 24 NL tournaments for a total profit of $27,959 ($30,719-$2760 buyins):
1. 1/105@$100 = $10,440
2. 2/220@$100 = $3,850
3. 1/178@$300 = $16,020
4. 12/102@$100 = $383
5. 17/107@$100 = $409.
Last night I also saw him spin $10k at NL $50/100 into $66k in a couple of hours getting paid off when he had the nuts on the flop or the river in $20k+ pots. Whenever he reraised he had very strong hands but still kept getting paid off! To have won 2/18 tourneys with $100+ buyin is extraordinary also.
Today, I was playing with Antonio Esfandiari in a NL ring table at Ultimate Bet. He was telling everyone how a burger cost $60 in Monte Carlo. Soon, I was involved in a pot with the magician. I flopped a set of 4s on a two diamond board and I was check-called by Antonio. Turn was an ace and again I bet big enough to make calling with a flush draw a mistake but was check-called again. River was another diamond and the pot was $60. Antonio instantly led out with a pot bet and I folded swiftly showing my pocket 4s. He was amazed that I folded and promised me he had the flush - hey, that's why I folded! He can stick his next Monte Carlo burger..... lol
Finally, made another cash in a Blonde Forum tourney at Virgin Poker. It was the first Blonde Poker League tournament and I finished in the top 10 out of 107 other blondites.
