Assani's Poker Thread (2 Viewers)

YOUR NEW MISSION, SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT, IS AS FOLLOWS:

GET A PIC OF JENNIFER TILLY HOLDING A SIGN THAT SAYS "ICY POTS, #####ES!"

YOU HAVE 72 HOURS TO COMPLETE THIS MISSION.
this is important!!
I'll see what I can do, but I'm usually totally against asking for autographs or pics from celebrities, especially when its at a poker event(since I'm a pro- I mean, can you really imagine an athlete asking a better athlete for a pic/auto?). If I see her and can get a decent conversation started and if I happen to have my camera on me which I usually don't when I play cards(lots of "ifs" there) then I'll make up some excuse and get it done.
 
Pics might be provided later.
not wanting to disappoint...link
What's the story behind those two?
Met them at Rain(club at the Palms). My buddy and I had our own booth with bottle service, and they were typical "money hungry" women that seemed to flock as soon as they saw we had the booth. I think they asked to take a picture of us with their camera and I said to get one with mine too(I don't think I could ever just pull out my camera and ask to take a pic with girls I had just met....seems strange to me....which is why my number of pics from this past month is somewhat limited). Sadly to say, Otis will be disappointed as no "new relationships" were formed with them.This night actually ended in one of the most frustrating ways I've ever experienced. Long story short, I meet a girl near the end of the night and her and her friends are set to come over our house for afterparty. We have 8 people total between all of us, so we take 2 cabs. Somehow on the way to our house, her friends in the other cab decide that they no longer want to go. So as soon as we get out of our cab at my house her friends pull her into their cab and they leave- no explanation, nothing. She didn't really want to leave either, but of course shes going to go with her friends rather than some guy she just met(which is understandable). Totally :own3d:

It's different with her, she's hot!
 
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.
Thanks for responding. If I run into you, I'll be sure to say hello.
Sounds good man. You gonna be at the Rio?
Staying with a buddy at Gold Coast. We'll be all over as far as I know.

Give me a call or a private message and let me know when one or both of you are going to play in the Bellagio tourneys. I'm going to play at least one more, maybe two.
 
Sorry to interupt the thread Assani with a question on your play but I was wondering about the logic of pushing so hard with AK offsuit instead of calling $3K (if I remember). Seems like a call here would have good hear to see why happens and if it helps then push it on the flop. How early in the tournament was it? What was your read on the player to make that big of a raise? How was his chip stack relative to yours

Not questioning the call (I mean seriously a .10 NL player with 38% winning sessions shouldn't really question a WSOP player) but trying to figure it out more.

Oh and more pictures, love them Vegas ladies :pics:

Calling there takes about 1/6th of my stack. I think that perhaps with a bigger stack(or smaller blinds) I could've called. But for the most part, a good player should lay down a hand like TT there against a re-raise that pot commits his opponent, and I was perfectly content taking down the smaller pot preflop. In short, I don't disagree with you, and that was an option but my short stack made me choose otherwise.

Our own resident CA Hold Em Chamption A-Rod made this same suggestion the other night in chat. Not a bad point, although A-Rod was probably coming from the viewpoint of his extensive CAHE training. :thumbup:

How many times did you rebuy?

I always rebuy immediately to double my stack and then add on at the first break. In the $215 thats all I did, so it was 3 buy ins. In the $109 I busted out once during the first round and had to rebuy and rebuy immediately to double my stack again, so it was 5 buy ins.
