EPT Warsaw: Day 1A - Interactive

[snoopy1239]

It's break time now, but I did manage to catch up with Jen. Unfortunately, she's taken another hit and is down to 8k. She found Queens and raised, then bet out on a King high Flop, but ran into a Flopped set. She checked the Turn and folded to a bet on the River, so she did well to get away. As she said herself, that King on the Flop probably saved her another bet at the very least.

BRING ON THE NURSES !!!

You're not missing much to be honest, I haven't been been to impressed with the Polish norkage.

Polish norkage -- 4 out of 10
Israelli long-haired banjo playing Jewish norkage (very hard to come by in the modern market!) -- 11 out of 10

They're just coming to the end of a 15 minute break, but when they return, the blinds will be 150 and 300.

There are currently 108 players left.

Snoops,
It's Howard here, former PokerStars blogger, watching your grand reports while sitting in a computer lab in New York. Anyway, thought you might like to know that the Mateyboy who had the straight and took a chunk out of Jen is, I think, a guy called Dennis Plejdrup Kobbero. He's a serial Stars qualifier from Denmark. I remember talking to him in Dublin, Copenhagen, Barcelona and Vegas, at least. Great guy and with a stunning girlfriend - if you're looking for norkage shots (as I'm sure you are.)
Keep up the good work. Well, keep up the work.
Cheers
Howard

Cheque's in the mail, baby.

Karl Marenholtz has about 16k at the moment. Seems fairly comfortable with his table.

(Trying out a new picture programme, should improve the quality, but as for all pictures on the message board, you'll get a better view if you right click the picture and select 'View Image'.)

Sadly for Jen, it's not quite going her way. She just lost a tad more continue betting (1k from the button) on a Flop. Unfortunately, her one caller in the big blind, who, incidentally had checked in the dark, decided to re-raise all-in, resulting in a swift fold from Merton.

She's still plugging away and more than capable of getting back into it.

Thanks Howard, that name was right on the edge of my lips.

I gave up the PokerStars thing because I realised I couldn't possibly compete with what you guys were churning out at Blonde. I knew I was beat.

Message for Jen...

UTG limps, Karl Marenholtz makes it 1100 from the cut-off (blinds 150/300). The big blind flat-calls, UTG moves in for about 3.4k more. Karl dwells for a minute and then passes, and the big blind calls. Karl tells me he had Ace King and says, "Show me Aces." Well the UTG doesn't and shows Kings instead, so just as good a fold, especially since the Big Blind shows Ace King as well.

A no-helping Board doubles the UTG stack up:

[snoopy1239]

99 players with blinds at 150/300. They shall be rising in 15 minutes.

Jeff Buffenbarger is down to 13,100 after folding Pocket Jacks on an board, previosuly flat-calling a 1.5k to 4.1k check-raise on the Flop.
