I've made a few wrong plays in this tournament, but I think I played this one correctly. See what you think.

! Your hole cards are Jh JdEvery player seems to have his nightmare hand, and mine is a pair of jacks. You can't turn it down, but it's often not quite high enough to win. In November 2006 I paid 9600 (out of 19250) to someone who ( Read more... )

I've just doubled up. Unfortunately the scores get wiped later today because it's only the practice round. Ah well. Mind you, if it were not the practice round I probably wouldn't have pitched in $4000 to stay in with only a pair of 2s (A2 to match a board of K42). I won it because the last card out was also a 2 ( Read more... )

Out of the WRGPT in the early hours of Jan 8th; 762 players left in the tournament (out of roughly 1200). Two years ago I was out on Jan 6th but finished 559th out of 1286, so this time I lasted longer but came out with a worse result, and in addition didn't even come close to knocking anyone out.

I was dealt a pair of 8s and it cost me $1000 to see the flop with four other players, which was 653 rainbow ( Read more... )

I've already sent in my move, but what would you do?

Things had taken a turn for the worse: I had 85K before the ante was paid and the big blind was a whopping 20K a time. I chanced it and called.

No fewer than five people stayed in for the flop. I had Q9 and the board had JT, all four of them clubs - how could I not stay in with cards like that? The other guy had J7, it eventually turned out, ( Read more... )

Not-very amusing thing I saw on the way into work today: a lorry which was supposed to be black with white writing but was of course covered in dirt. Someone had selectively cleaned some of the letters and added some more, so it looked like this:
