Crazy calls, bets and plays – part two

I also hope Peter keeps Posting. I fly no flag for him, but many of us enjoy these stories.

Of course it's luck - largely.

But I can tell you - & I don't mind if you believe it or not - but I've personally seen Peter do this "hand-read" stuff time & time again. I've seen a few people do it, actually - Jon Shoreman used to do it, too - as did Kim, Peter's brother.

In fact both Pete & Kim regularly played "no-look" in Tourneys, in fact I saw Kim win a £3,000 pot in a cash-game playing "no-look".

It's uncanny - I have seen him name peeps hands, 100% accurately, time without number. Yup, he gets lucky. A lot. But many, many, people have seen him do his.

It's hard to explain, but back in, I think, 2001, 2002, or thereabouts, Peter seemed almost invincible at the poker Table, & was winning Tourneys all over the place - the UK, Aussie, America, the latter in what was, at the time, the biggest ever field for a Limit Tournament. (About 2,000 players I seem to recall). It was Peter's first ever Limit Tourney. He's won (& lost, I expect) more in Tournament winnings than almost any blonde can even dream of. The game was probably easier then, but it's on his CV, he's got the T-Shirt.

In one edition Late Night Poker he came up against a Vietnamese guy, & absolutely murdered the guy. Maybe my memory plays tricks - it was about 10 years back - but at the time, & for a goodly while after, it was referenced as an utterly outstanding exhibition of being able to "read" an opponent, & his holding, perfectly. It was a stunning exhibition of poker.

The moral being - guess at something a million times and you will have a hundred story's to tell?

Probably.

Nice piece of writing though.

We do guess a million times in poker, but if you only get hundreds correct, you're better off doing something else.

You were the one who said you were running out of stories...

Sorry, but have I upset you you in some way?

Since I hardly play live poker, I am short of stories, thats why the past comes to the rescue.

To be honest I can relate to Peter and his story as I often find myself time and time again able to guess exactly what my opponent had.

We all do it. After all, is it not our job?
