[larry_boy_44]

Assani plays again tommorow, right?

How many people is it going down to tommorow?

Actually Fred and Assani play today.BEST OF LUCK TODAY TO YOU BOTH!

I thought there was a day off between teh 4 day ones and the 2 day 2s...

 

[Steve in Minneapolis]

Yes, Assani and I are both playing today. I will try to call in updates to a footballguy or two at breaks. If anyone on the west coast wants to be in that rotation please PM your #.

See the quote above from the pinned thread about the ME.The Day1/Day2 people have already had time off. The Day 3/Day4 people have today off, and play tomorrow. Then they ALL have Thursday off...and then everyone is into a single group on Friday.Better details are available in the other thread.

 

[GregStarling]

update?

 

[Assani Fisher]

So I'm out. Had 19,000 in chips. 400/800 blinds with a 100 ante.

I'm in MP. Guy right before me raises to 3200 preflop. I re raise to 10,000 with AKos. He pushes. I call. He shows pocket tens, which hold up.

 

[Capella]

All-in after a 10k raise with 10s?

Yeesh.

 

[Raskell5]

Nice run

 

[bentley]

All-in after a 10k raise with 10s? Yeesh.

I'm sure the guy would have folded if AF hadn't gone out last night.

Boy, did the point of that conversation fly right over your head or what?

 

[Tremendous Upside]

All-in after a 10k raise with 10s? Yeesh.

Didn't he know that if you never go all in you can never lose?

 

[Steve in Minneapolis]

Assani-

I am sorry to hear you are out....

Congrats on making it as far as your did...and I look forward to seeing updates of you slaying the other donkeys at the cash games...

 

[rick6668]

Nice job Assani.

Don't like his call there, but what can you do.

You staying in Vegas for a while?.. I'm arriving Friday Morning and staying through Monday, was hoping to catch you or BF playing in the ME, but oh well.

Thanks for the updates, it was a lot of fun to follow along.

 

[Giant Wooden Badger]

Horrible call. Tough break, AF.

 

[Schmegma]

No fun calling off all your chips with the worst hand pre-flop when the other guy has you covered and then watching his hand hold up.

Sorry for your loss. Better luck next year.

 

[Alias]

Unlucky AF, hope you got some last night as a consolation prize, and btw...

 

[Tat]

way to Doddsed.

 

[Assani Fisher]

most of the people in this thread have no ####### clue what I"m saying

so who needs a new sig?

 

[Assani Fisher]

So because I'm really really stupid, I'm probably not going to get much sleep again tonight. My buddy and I met two girls and its their last night in town tonight, so we're going out with them instead of getting to sleep early. Pics might be provided later.

So did you come over the top?

ended up leaving "early" by myself at 3 because I wanted to get to bed....and now I have plenty of time to meet girls since I'm out

 

[Tat]

,S. Are you going back to the innernet, or will you now persue more live play?

 

[Assani Fisher]

assani, i tried to say hello to icypots the other day, about a week ago, think it was a 10/20 game, but you ignored me

online or live? If live, then I can't imagine why I would've done that. If online, then I'm often not looking at the chat when playing, so sorry.

 

[Assani Fisher]

All-in after a 10k raise with 10s? Yeesh.

Yeah, people at my table were way over-playing pocket pairs. There was an all in between two guys preflop...the hand: 55 vs 66. This tournament was by far the softest of all of the WSOP events that I played in(not including the 2nd chances or any other "side" tournament).

 

[Assani Fisher]

Nice job Assani.Don't like his call there, but what can you do.You staying in Vegas for a while?.. I'm arriving Friday Morning and staying through Monday, was hoping to catch you or BF playing in the ME, but oh well.Thanks for the updates, it was a lot of fun to follow along.

yeah I'll be here until the 13th. Probably going to be playing in the daily Bellagio tournaments most days. They have a $10K buy in event coming up there soon too, but I'm not sure if I can afford that at this point.

 

[Assani Fisher]

Unlucky AF, hope you got some last night as a consolation prize, and btw...

No real great story to tell from last night, but I do have a few decent pics from throughout this trip....won't mind sharing once I put them up on my photobucket page.

Still internet mostly since I'm a good 2+ hours away from A.C. from where I live. But I will be at the Borgata in September for their WPT Events, so I'll get some live play in then.

Congrats on a great run Assani, although I'm sure it's small consolation. If you don't mind me asking, do you know approximately what your net gain/loss has been during this visit to Vegas?

[Assani Fisher]

Congrats on a great run Assani, although I'm sure it's small consolation. If you don't mind me asking, do you know approximately what your net gain/loss has been during this visit to Vegas?

I would say that I'm down probably around $3000-5000 in poker and another $5000 or so spent on random partying and crap.Much like how I was after playing in the World Poker Tour, I'm extremely motivated right now...something about sitting and playing with the best makes me determined to get to that level. If you remember, thats when I started my first quest and started out playing great poker and winning a ton. I think that I'm going to 4-6 table $10/20 NLHE when I get back to NY. The goal is to get my poker bankroll over $100,000. Then I will move up to $25/50. Its going to be tempting to not move up sooner because I crave action. However my friend Robert(also a poker pro) is lecturing me to be better about bankroll management. I might consider doing another "quest" or at least posting key hands and a log of my results here.

This is the most important key to improving your game. (In anything, not just poker.)

Completely honest question here--do you always play 85o from the big blind against a raise?

Completely honest question here--do you always play 85o from the big blind against a raise?

I would call that min. raise with any two cards since I was being offered 6-1 pot odds(and most likely 7-1 pot odds since the limper would call 99.99% of the time as well). Thats not to even mention the implied odds that come with everyone having decent stacks.
