Title: WSOP Blog now finished....
Post by: M3boy on August 16, 2006, 12:37:49 PM
For those of you interested, I have now finished my BLOG on the WSOP

A little late I know, but having exited from the main event, I didnt feel like doing it - a view shared by many other people I spoke to.

But it is now done for anyone wishing to read.

Well for the record you were runner up  ;goodvevil; but as the winner was american then you were the top placed European and therefore classed as European champion.......... ;)

Who was he straddling whilst betting? Do they allow that in the casino?

UTG can double the Big Blind - This is another Blind Bet, but then has the option of raising BEFORE the flop.

Example (and this DID happen)

SB $1
BB $2
Me (UTG) straddle $4 (blind)
all in all 7 callers of $4
Preflop my option and I riase $25 (still blind)
4 callers
Flop comes
I bet $50 (still blind)
2 callers
Turn card comes
I move all in (still blind)
They fold and I win a $200+ pot :)

She did.  We have generous grand parents who took our boy for a few nights.  There were a lot of families there, maybe next year?
