If seat one dude makes the money I'll eat your alien baseball cap

He made money, but could have made more.

After the “young seat three" donks off a big stack to the “clueless seat one" on the final table, we are 4 handed.  With about 600,000 chips in play, approx stack sizes are;

Peter Kwan                  110,000
Me                     40,000
“Clueless seat one”                             280,000
Trevor Payne                170,000

Peter asks quietly if we’d be interested in a four way split of £800 each. Trevor hears this and is a bit surprised. I hear it and say it’d be OK with me. At this stage “Clueless seat one” with nearly half the chips doesn’t hear it. The next hand is dealt, Peter folds and I have A 10 s and am contemplating either a raise or an all in with my 10bb’s (blinds are 2,000/4,000). I pause and wonder about mentioning the deal again. I tell Peter again that I’d be happy to split, but none of us can quite bring ourselves to raise such a ridiculous proposal with the chip leader. Eventually Peter suggests it out loud and “Clueless seat one” considers it, consults his mate who’s watching, looks at the stacks and considers it some more. I suggest that it’d be a good result & a good nights work for us all. Just as I think he’s about to propose an alternative deal (and Trevor is telling him the win is £1,250), he says, “I tell you what, if I lose this hand, we’ll split it.” I fold my A 10 quickly, he looks at his cards and folds his small blind, giving Trevor a walk. The clincher is when I say its “a risk free £800.” He agrees to the deal and we play one final hand for official places.

I get K7 and proceed to miss the board entirely, but so does everyone else. “Clueless seat one” wins with ace high and my king takes 2nd.   Nina and Niall are watching and can’t believe how lucky Peter and I have been to get such a good deal.  Credit is due to Peter for suggesting it and following through. Thanks also to Trevor for not objecting to a deal that wasn’t great for him. He wanted “Clueless seat one” to object, but he didn’t get the message!

I have decided to play a new form of poker, as follows:

1) If I think I am ahead pre-flop I will always fold.
2) If a player moves all in on me pre-flop, I will call as long as my hand is Q5o or less.
3) If 2 players move all in on my pre-flop I will always call with KJ, KQ or 22.

A winning strategy imo.

I can't believe that everyone on here keeps referring to my new best mate in seat 1 as "clueless"...
[ ]   The truth is that he was a master player and was tricking us all, pretending that he didn't having a feckin clue wot he was doing pre or post-flop.
As for the turn and river they were just a roller-coaster of unknowns in his clue-less world.... 

[  ]   I am very pleased for him that he cashed.
[  ]   He deserved it.

KJ better than TJ imo

309 + 15 = 324 imo Loooooofah.

Where is d'problem blood?

The problem is Johnno Boy Mr Number-Cruncher     .....        the MAS will whip off his plums if he diverts Mob money to good causes.

Sort it    ....    or wake up next to Shergar's bonce!

This was agreed at a meeting of the MAS and the smallest Hertfordshire Sicilian crew....

Table 3 / Seat 1.

meh - the dude didn't know how to play poker - not really a crime. With any luck he'll think he's a natural and come and reinvest all his winnings back at the G

I was planning on keeping the thread well updated with stories when Phil takes me to Vegas, but they just wouldn't live up to the precedent now.  Get Holdy to write a guest column for you in the Racing Post imo Chomps
