Sunday, April 26th
From the poker room:
In true Rounders-style, HLS2k6 takes a horrendous one-outer when his A9 outflops AA on a 99x board, only to see the case ace pop off on the turn. Needless to say the pot got splashed a bit on the turn. Sad face.
OnTheRail15 tried to get heads up action, so he started a $40/$80 table. Eventually someone came to the table to take him on:
Villain: “Do you want to play higher?”
OTR: “How high?”
Villain: “Whatever you want.”
OTR: (tarping him good) “Let’s just start at $40/$80 for now and we’ll see”
Before starting they agreed to play $80/$160 and OTR sold off some of his action to some guys in our group. OTR then proceeded to crush HUHU for around $3k and left when the table began to fill in. It turns out that the villain is a fairly well known HUHU player who regularly plays mid/high stakes on Full Tilt Poker. When they revealed their screen names to each other villain exclaimed: “I never would have played you if I had known who you were!”
Perhaps the sickest part was that BigBadBabar had a portion of OTR’s action. So he racked up another ~$500, bringing his total win for the day while not doing anything to over two grand.
One last highlight: BBB and OTR were playing at the same table a few hours later, yelled, “BANGARANG!” and ran around the table while high fiving each other (picture a Chinese Fire Drill around a poker table). They then got pulled aside by security and warned because, as BBB explained, “Having fun is not allowed.”

If fun isn’t allowed that means BBB will shortly be arrested and thrown in jail for too much fun imo.
Great to see him adapting to the metagame, obviously most profitable move atm is backing OTR…genius
Btw just got through first half of PTT Ep 8…..great vid you two put together (Especially the background DC member…outburst ftw!!!) and dunno if I can’t wait for or will be hiding under a rock until part 2. Maybe I’ll just wait excitedly under a rock…that’ll do it.
Note to self: Build roll by any means necessary and get out there for the next DC meetup

Great stuff PH.
Note to self: Build roll by any means necessary and get out there for the next DC meetup +++++
We should do one in Europe though
BTW thought casinos were made to “have fun” – atleast that’s what a manager in DK told me…

Isac’s right imo
When I use to visit the casino near me regularly I often bantered a lot with the casino manager. Sadly he’s a Man Utd fan and they’re hoovering up trophies atm so I lost a lot
but his job was essentially to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and gaming away and happy.
Even when losing……

Hey guys, +1 on the bankroll comments – this experience has pretty much been invaluable both in terms of my continuing poker development and just in terms of straight up enjoyability. Highly recommend.

Hey Pygmy,
Very entertaining blogs! I wish I could have made it up there with you guys but I ended up having to help my dad with some stuff. I added you to my blogroll and will await any further updates!

Um the turn didn’t get splashed around, unless you mean me betting and him calling. Now the river…
Nevermind, FUCK the river.
