I always would have liked to play against:
Scotty Ngyuen
Phil muth
That would be a fun/interesting experience, based on there personalities, Matusow would be the same as well.
Dude, those are bad pics, she is quite beautiful in person and on tv.

You got it, Johnny?
Helmuth was busted out, but I could have gotten seated with Scotty, had I won that hand, because there would have been only about 9 tables left by the end of Saturday.
Damn, that hurts. I got knocked out of a tourney cause some noob called me with 10-9 off, and I had pocket rockets. Of course his full house comes (something like 4-9-9-10) and then I make my set.

If you made your set your Aces full would have beaten his 9s full. You sure he did not make quads?
9-10 suited or not is a playable hand. It depends on when the initia bet was made pre flop of after.Damn, that hurts. I got knocked out of a tourney cause some noob called me with 10-9 off, and I had pocket rockets. Of course his full house comes (something like 4-9-9-10) and then I make my set.
you guys are fricking gay.... come play a poker game with me someday..bring alot of money cuz you're ass ain't staying unless you keep rebuying...
I don't remember the hand exactly. Maybe I didn't hit the trips. =\
I will beat you even more than I do in golf..
Awesome Jim and while I'm still a noob, I cannot believe how much the huge dogs end up winning on hands. Just seems like oftentimes skill has nothing to do with it, like the river Q card that got you out.
On the other "hand", if you made it that far and went out on a bad beat, you've obviously got skills.
I'm reading, it's helping.
Ng is soooooooooooooooooooooo damn hot dude. Beat part of the story was hearing you sat with her.
Sucks you got sucked out on there. I don't know if I call his reraise there PF. If I think I'm ahead I push instead since you're putting in over a third of your stack on the call. Then again, you do have position and I pretty much suck ass at tournament poker. I just think if you miss the flop you have a tough decision when you may very well have the best hand.
Awesome to see you did well though. All you can do is get it in ahead or make them make a tough call.
Don't worry - I'm sure you'll never have to.
No way dude. Thats why they play like that. Those tournament LAGs will play so ing loose early on because no one will play back at them without the nuts. They either bust out early or they build a huge chipstack before the first break then they have a lot of power to play with. As the tables I play have gotten tougher I've had to learn a lot more LAG tendencies and its sooooooooooooooo god damn hard for me but its so damn fun too. Just play back at them if you think you're ahead. You'll win more often then not. Maybe.
Manny, when he raised it to 10,000, the pot then had almost 17,000, so I was getting almost 3-1 on my call of 6400 more. I had great implied odds too, if I hit my hand. The only hands that have me crushed are Kings and Aces.....so it was really a no brainer as far as calling....and given that there was a great chance that since he was stacked up recently, he wanted to play back at me for picking on his blinds a few times when he was lower stacked.
I am glad you recognize a hot poker player too in Evelyn Ng.
Jim should've folded on the reraise. He had premature ejaculation..read to much into it and got wacked. Sounds like you did great, but you started thinking outside the game... the dude had you beat and you thought he was playing you and really he had you beat.. oh well, that's cool that you did that...
I think calling for 6k is correct now that you put it that way. I'm thinking of calling for 10k and even though 6k out of 22000 is still a good chunk of your stack you have a really good spot with a player that you've been picking on and you're in position so I think its a good hand to win some chips with.Manny, when he raised it to 10,000, the pot then had almost 17,000, so I was getting almost 3-1 on my call of 6400 more.

Really sucks you got beat there that way. Thats what sucks about tournament poker for me. Its one and done. At a cash table you just reload and stack the er and get your money back and then some, but in this situation you just kinda walk away with your tail tucked inbetween your legs.
At least you left Vegas up. I haven't ruled out going before the end of the WSOP but I'm already making a trip to California in August (playing at the Bike and Commerce WOOT) and I may spend some time traveling this fall so I don't think its in the cards (pun intended).
If Jim was off the blind, shouldn't he have came in stronger? Maybe that dude folds... Instead, coming in slightly better than weak told the guy he was trying to get lucky... , that ain't even a slow play... oh well....
Jim was on the button. He wasn't in the blind.
exactly...told ya it was luck.
OH YEAH.
And I really like your play in the hand where you doubled up early. I'd check that river a lot to induce a bluff from busted draws. If he has a ten and owns you then so be it but when you check there you're going to induce a lot of bluffs and you have to call no matter what comes on the river. Thats a really really good job of doubling up.
At those blind levels, you should have folded the reraise, if it was a shorter stack insta call, however you don't want to get into coinflip situation still so early in the tourney especially if someone has you covered. yes it sucks to have to fold but live to see another day, you made a semi good read but the end result of course sucked cuz he sucked out on you. KJ suited and reraised is an instafold, any pair is ahead and u must worry about jj qq kk aa and ak all of which have you crushed. You made an amateur call and were asking for trouble in that situation still fairly early in the tourney. KJ suited is not a premium hand in that situation.
Meh - he made a read and went with it. The call isn't as bad as it first looks when you consider the dead money, he's in position, and any pot you play will be for a big portion of your stack. I agree KJ is a meh hand but the BB's RR range is huge considering he's been played at and he's probably playing back. You can see the evidence in that he showed down QJ. I think there are times where you go to a showdown and see a premium hand but depending on the flop you may have outs. I think 2:1 odds at this point in the tourney makes a call fine. At first I said I prefered a push over a call but I think with KJ a push is bad as a ton of hands that call the push will be way ahead and you'll fold out the hands you beat. Calling allows you to try to outplay your opponent on the flop.
actually, it was closer to 3-1 odds on my call...and the only hands that are worse odds to beat are AA or KK, and I think if he had one of those 2 hands, he would have taken pot odds out of the equation and just pushed all in preflop, and taken down the 7k in the pot.
Yes you do want to get into a coinflip when you are getting 3-1 odds, that is the no-brainer.
