Poker - Fans & Players

I spent a little time at a tournament table with pro Mike Matusow. I was not the least bit impressed with how he behaved or with his play. He was drunk, knocked his full stack of chips across the table, and called someone a "f*cking idiot" (in a "joking way", of course).

Disgusting.

On a happier note, my wife and I took first and second in a tournament!! First time we managed that one!

Wow! Congrats!!!!!!

I haven't been able to cash in any tourny's I've played in lately. Won a $50 bounty in a tourny last week, bubbled in 11th place in another tourny (I did get a free entry into another tourny, so at least that's something), and my partner and I finished 15th today in the Jack and Jill tournament, out of 105 couples - but they only paid 10 spots. UGH.

RE: Mike Matusow.... sadly, I liked him better when he was on drugs; however, that said, I never really respected him as a person or a poker player. Too bad you didn't have someone better at your table. Maybe next time!

I haven't played in a couple of weeks I'm driving to Los Angeles this week to visit my Aunt though, so I am going to play at the Bicycle Casino at some point during my visit *grin*

Then next weekend is the local ladies tournament (it's every other month).

Hopefully next time I post I'll have good news!

Hi All! A few of us are making our way to Vegas May 28 - 31! It would be awesome to meet a few BFPers there! Let me know if you can make it... we can discuss details

I finally cracked the code to winning in Arizona! Actually, I don't have a real strategy except to slow down my game and adjust, adjust, adjust! But, FINALLY, I cashed in 2 tournaments - 1 yesterday (we agreed to a 2-tier chop) and last weekend we chopped 10 places.

The craziest hand yesterday - I pushed all in with pocket 7's. I flopped quad 7's, and the guy who called me rivered a full house, but it was no good, I doubled up!

I'm realllly looking forward to Vegas in May!

Anyone else have any good stories???

Hey Steph...

Good for you for being patient and working to figure out what it takes to cash there!!

We've slowed down quite a bit the past few months. Things get busy on the weekends....or just really stressed......and we don't have it in us to sit for that long.

I miss Vegas so much! I will see what I can do to get us there in May.

I really hope you make it! Would be wonderful to see you both again
