Title: Re: The Rookie at the WSOP Post by: wsopin07 on July 05, 2006, 06:16:10 PM This should be a lot of fun, I really hope I get my GOOD buddy Phil at my table at some point! Yesterday I nursed a shorter stack all day, at the dinner break I was down to 6K. The 1st 3 hands after the break I moved all in w/ no callers, the grinder doubled me up later and I had life. I played very tight, I moved all in about 14 times yesterday and I only got 1 call when I had KK vs AK and it held up. I folded 55 a few times, 99 UTG, and even found a way to get past JJ preflop when a very tight player raised in early position. I think my play was good because I played basic poker! I did not get fancy, passed 4/7 three times :blonde:
I love playing w/ top players, the grinder kept talking to me trying to get info and I know he didnt want to play pots w/ me later in the day. Hopefully I will give the same effort today and have fun doing it. God bless PH if we hit the same table, I cant wait to get involved in the verbal w/ him!!!!!!!! Title: Re: The Rookie at the WSOP Post by: Wardonkey on July 05, 2006, 06:30:30 PM Good luck Brian, have fun!

It sounds like you've had the right strategy early on (can you prove you folded JJ :D ) Now just go on and win the thing; no getting distracted by the American-style chatters! ;slavedriver;

Title: Re: The Rookie at the WSOP Post by: julian on July 05, 2006, 10:30:44 PM gl all,
how exciting! Title: Re: The Rookie at the WSOP Post by: Rupert on July 05, 2006, 11:16:32 PM Brian is out according to cardplayer :(
Title: Re: The Rookie at the WSOP Post by: I, Zimbra on July 06, 2006, 03:46:40 PM According to the Wire:
Blinds: 1500/3000, 400 ante (?) Gabriel Thaler doubled through Brian with K-Q os (all-in) calling Brian's 18k late position raise (he had 7-7). Brian had about 70k at the time, so after the smoke cleared he should have been back down to 52k, whilst Gabe was up to 36k. However, shortly after that, Thaler is noted in the chip counts as having over 60k - so I can only assume that maybe the hit to Brian's stack was bigger than reported... (and Wire doesn't help itself by listing Joe Munro twice in the top 50 and missing out Brian altogether... shocking omission!) Anyway, Brian seems to have gone out shortly afterwards (47th place, $7309) :( Title: Re: The Rookie at the WSOP Post by: wsopin07 on July 06, 2006, 07:19:39 PM Well, all I can say is I gave it a great effort, just didnt get any cards, playes about 3 pots, went out w/ Qh Th on a Qs Kd 2s flop, Gene Todd had Aspades Kh, it was great to play so well, now I just have to do it again today.
