How's life Ron?

Just saw Marcel & Jan Sorenson clash.

Board came like this........

    As

Marcel moved al-in on the end, HAD to be a steal. "CALL" I scream, under my breath.

Turns over  .........!

[Robert HM]

You have this uncanny knack tikay 

[tikay]

It's something one is born with Robert, a natural aptitude which cannot be taught.

Well, discounting breaks & dinner, we have been playing nigh on 5 hours now, & everything is goling to plan. Our man had a rocky time during the first few hours, but he's settled now, these boys genuinely look scared of him. Quite right too.

[M POWER]

Was Marcel quite when he went All-in

[tikay]

Yes, M Power, he was! That was what thew me. When he's quiet, he's got the goods, when he sings & messes about, he is bluffing, John discovered that in Vegas. Or was it the other way round?

Fab again Jen and Tikay, glad you are having a better day of it than yesterday - although I kinda bet Jen enjoyed the subterfuge and the chase of it

I would've

Julian takes a big hit doubling Marcel in this fashion:

They see a blinds-only unraised flop of  , and a free turn of  .  Then it takes off - Julian checks, Marcel sort of looks like he's about to check and then bets 50k.  At this point the Camel, who was standing next to me, was saying "he's bluffing - raise - raise!" and that's exactly what happened - he moved all-in and was called by Marcel with his  .  No help on the river and Julian looks to be the new short stack...

[M POWER]

I bet he was quite on that one

Hi Heid - no subterfuge, just kind of given up and watching the TV like the regular punters... and we've been given chip counts so far (and more to come in a minute).

[tikay]

Am with Julian now, he says he has less than one BB left........

Camel is here too, he was sure Marcel was bluffing, & felt it was a pass or Raise all-in situation. Turned out to be the wrong decision. Bummer.

Still, we are not dead yet.

Julian is furious with himself, but it's a gambling game, he lives on the edge, takes huge chances, thats how these guys get giant stacks.

[tikay]

We have got the chip counts, Jen is just inputting them.

[Djinn]

I underestimated Marcel's stack a bit - Julian only has about the big blind and will be making a comeback move or two very shortly... He came over in the break and looks a little downcast, but not a whole lot - and his play has been great throughout.  We have our fingers all crossed that he can double up a couple of times as stranger things have happened...

[tikay]

Well, we are in a bit of a hole here, but we can expect him to get his little stack in the middle fairly quickly, so he just needs to get lucky with that first move.

And yes, he is all-in, details very shortly........

Tikay,

what did Julian Re-Raise him with?
