Bahamas (WPT-PCA) 2007 - Official Updates Thread...

[Talking Poker]

Good recap. I saw Vanessa's table earlier in the day, and one of the other girls is someone I remember from Aruba 2005. She was pretty solid and took down one of the side events there.

Sounds like you played well overall (at least compared to the donks - that 1/2 his stack bet followed by a fold from the former Interpoker pro is just sad), and getting some cards helps too. I'm looking forward to us both playing on Sunday. I'm shooing for 81,700 chips, of course.

BTW, for that first hand against Vanessa...

...do you think you could have gotten more chips out of her in any way? Maybe by betting a bit less, or by counting your chips differently or anything like that? Do you think she made a good read on you?

With a hand as strong as yours there, I think I may have checked it and given her a free shot at a straight if she had a 9 (or JT or whatever). I'll bet she would have bet there if you checked to her, and depending on how much you raised, she may have moved in on you if she had a pair and a draw. That said, I like the bet too if you're trying to get it all in the middle. She's aggressive and there's a good chance she'll raise you right there drawing awfully thin... Yeah, I don't know.

Time to call it a night. GL to me and Kurn tomorrow.

The hand where I turned top set against Vanessa, I certainly could have checked there, but I probably appear to be some Internet person (which I am), so I suppose live pros would assume I am hyper aggressive. Plus, I assume that men probably play more aggressive against women since they don't want to lose pots to them in general. Or, maybe I am just overthinking this whole thing.

Talked to TP who said he lost about half his stack when he flopped two pair and some guy rivered a flush. I tried to see how Kurn was doing also, but that tourney was on break when I got down there.

From the moneymaker million blog:

12:09pm The first beers just arrived in the room. They were delivered to Table 3. We'll just let you guess who ordered them.


Kurn?

This is strange from the MM blog:

2:01pm--Players are on a five minute break. We are down to two tables.

2:11pm--Blinds increase to 125-250. Cards are once again on the table. We have 25 players left. Lee Jones pointed out that no one will go home with less than $5,000. Cheers from the crowd.

Gotta be a mistake right? They are not making these guys play 13 handed!

GO KURN

of course, TP and Boobie too

This confused me as well unless they are playing 12/13 man tables o.0

P.S. Cmon TP mount the comeback

2:23pm--Rich DiLondardo from Warwick, Rhode Island just won a big pot at Table 3. It was AK versus AQ, and a king came on the flop. DiLonardo just upped his stack by a good bit.


ATTA BOY KURN!

"One of the cool things about PokerStars offering a blog is that it helps a lot of the fans who can't be here keep up with their buddies and favorite players. We're seeing tons of people come in here from 2+2, Neverwin, and other forums. One in particular that I've noticed is TalkingPoker. As it happens, I met one of the honchos from TP last year during the PCA. TP's Mark Petrillo is playing in Day 1B today and we're keeping an eye on him. I just grabbed him after the break. He's down a few chips from his starting stack, but has made it through the first couple of levels. Here's to a little good luck for Mark."

Nice love there.....
