Yes, both our Day 1b Players made it through the always so tricky Day One here at the $10,000 WSOP Main Event, & return on Tuesday for Day Two. Result! Jason, lacking experience at this level, had to grind all day, but a beautifully timed double-up (A-J v A-6, all-in pre-flop) in the day’s last level saw him safely through to Day Two. His Table included the legendary Hendon Mobster, Barny Boatman. This is a tremendous coup for Jason, & all of us at Sky Poker congratulate him. He was ac

Well it seems this year it wasn’t to be. After a great start to the World Series of Poker 2008 and an overall solid percentage of cashes per events played I finally hit a brick wall in the Main Event. Right from the outset things weren’t going well; relatively early on I raised with AJ and the flop came down AJ5. I bet out 850 into a 1000 pot and the next player to act immediately pushes in his 20k stack which of course covers me.  I feel absolutely certain I’m beat by a set here- most probabl

I will first tell you what I do not believe, I do not believe in a guy sitting on top of the clouds judging people and throwing lightning.  Similarly, I do not believe in a little red guy in the middle of the earth that will be the consequence for a bad life.  But I certainly am open to the idea of something bigger than myself and yesterday would be a big example of the possible existence of a force like that.  In case you have not followed I have 58k in chips and lost a big pot towards the end

Slow playing to maximise value by Dave Colclough (2004-04-26 20:47:40) Ok Folks, So here I am at the 2004 World Series of Poker. Binion’s Horseshoe has been taken over by new owners… at long last. That is not the most obvious change that greeted me though. America has gone Poker mad, mad, mad. An astonishing 343 have just paid an amazing $25,000 to play the main event at the Bellagio. And yesterday I walked into Binions satelitte area and couldn’t believe my eyes. Last year there would have b

So far it’s been looking like a particularly tough field out here in Day 1B of the WSOP Main Event. Mental note for next year, Day 1B spells trouble. With top poker pros like Daniel Negreanu, Ted Forrest and Greg Raymer going home early, you know it’s not easy out there. Maybe it’s something to do …
