I literally told the car salesman that if he went down $500 more that I'd take it. He didn't. I'm still driving my Pontiac Grand Am. May buy one soon though, not sure. Just seems like so much money to spend on a bad investment.Assani, Did you ever buy a car?

Every time you see a nice car that you know cost someone some money, just keep saying to yourself, "That's a depreciating asset. That's a depreciating asset." It works.I literally told the car salesman that if he went down $500 more that I'd take it. He didn't. I'm still driving my Pontiac Grand Am. May buy one soon though, not sure.

Been kinda taking it easy this week just playing a few online MTTs each day and not much else. Occassionally playing some PLO online, nothing live...no real hands or big action to report.you are obviously doing phenomenal in your tourney play - have you bothered with cash games?
But as depreciating assets go, it's one of the best. I look at it as I'm going to keep the car 4-5 years. Is it worth spending X$ a year over that period to enjoy this automobile?Every time you see a nice car that you know cost someone some money, just keep saying to yourself, "That's a depreciating asset.

i was beginning to think things like this never happened to you. nice job, again.out in 5th in the $109....just got shortstacked and had to shove. Maybe misplayed one hand with 88 when I could've shoved but instead played smallball and lost a pot.

Keep it going Assani.up to 29th out of 504,522 on Stars Official Poker Rankings now. Playing in all the Sunday majors today.
Sorry. Didn't want to start a new thread for that one post, and I figured he would get a chuckle out of that HH. How has the live play been going, Assani? I heard some pro (I think Steve Zolotow on CardPlayer TV) say that the beginning and end of the WSOP is full of soft cash games, with the middle being a rough patch. A ton of the players that came for the beginning of the series go broke early, and the new fish money doesn't arrive in full force until the Main Event.bostonfred said:Please let's keep this thread to Assani's exploits.
I have to admit, I would have figured that we would be hearing more stories from the WSOP cash games out of you. Any reason as to why or am I missing something?today kinda sucked. Only that one small cash. I went from 10K to 40K within the first hour in that Sunday Warmup, but other than that it was a completely uneventful day. Oh well. Gonna try to get to bed early(by 2AM) and stay on schedule this week so I can plya some WSOPs this week. $1500 PLO8 is on Tuesday, $1000+rebuys NLHE is on Wednesday(maybe too big for me though), $2000 NLHEis on Friday, and $1500 NLHE is on Saturday.
Yea, I kinda hate live poker now....just burned out on it. I can't sit there for more than a few hours now without hating it and being bored. Even live MTTs are a grind to me, but I can do them due to the excitement factor.I have to admit, I would have figured that we would be hearing more stories from the WSOP cash games out of you.

I guess I can understand that. It just sounds like your one of the worlds best Santa Claus and your taking the month of December off from going to shoping malls. Figured this would be your "busy season", as far a live cards go.Either way, I'm happy to hear your taking some time off instead of geting your head in a bad place ahead of the Main Event, but I am just being selfish.Yea, I kinda hate live poker now....just burned out on it.

unlucky IP, save it for the ME - post # referencing the above?busted on the 3rd hand of yesterday's PLO8 WSOP, and........it wasn't even my shortest WSOP tourney this year
Folded to cutoff who limps(lol), I raise to 225 with AA8K double suited, blinds fold, cutoff calls.
Flop comes 5TK with 2 spades(I have spades). He bets 300, I raise to 1425, he pushes, I call. He has bottom 2 pair and a gutshot(A5TQ) and his hand holds.
I was a 55/45 favorite, but thats not really the point: With my hand(the king is important) I am never a huge underdog and I should have huge amount of fold equity. His hand is at best a small small favorite and is dominated a ton of times. Its a horrible play by him.
Gonna play live at the Wynn today, may sign up for the Main Event tonight, may play the $2000 NLHE on Friday too

99,860 currently. MTTs suck for accumulating FPPs.How Many FPPs do you have?
Must be I don't understand what you mean. If he has KT, KK, TT, 55 then you can be a pretty big underdog, especially if he also has the spades (or a straight draw like QJTT or even worse, both). Certainly the K puts you in good shape against bottom two but there aren't that many people that are that bad. Given the hands he should have, you have to expect to be a fairly big dog. Just against a set with no redraws I'm thinking you are about a 2-1 dog.busted on the 3rd hand of yesterday's PLO8 WSOP, and........it wasn't even my shortest WSOP tourney this year
