Thursday @ Turning Stone
I woke up pretty late again, met up with Ozzy and we went over to Roman (Empire2000) and ZappyB’s room in the Lodge. MrSmokey1 came over and we talked for a bit about things like Smokey’s 150K cash in the Conquest tournament in the Bahamas. Here’s a pic I grabbed:
After that, we went down to Premier’s room (there are a lot of other people staying in it too), which was also in the Lodge. Ozzy and MrSmokey1 played some Mario Kart while CHEKdezNUTS, Roman, ZappyB, JERRRY, etc looked on. I played Roman in a $120 HU freezeout of 8 card NL Omaha H/L regular…. I lost. I got a decent chip lead on him a few times, but I made some bad plays trying to bust him and he mildly sucked out a few times. Actually, I honestly don’t even know the odds for that game, so maybe it wasn’t even a suckout. Anyway, then Ozzy, MrSmokey1 and I played a three handed PLO sng. Good game selection me. I got heads up with Ozzy and I managed to get a 2-1 chiplead on him, but then he won a few decent pots and doubled up when we got all in preflop with two suited/connected hands. Neither one of us had a pair, but he managed to win it. After that I fought back a bit to get back to around a 2-1 chip deficit and we got all in with his top two against my flush draw, I hit on the turn but the same Ac also gave him aces full. Then he hit quads on the river for overkill. Here are some pics from the Mario Kart, prior to the poker:
I played some pretty uneventful 1/2 NL for a little while, then I played some more uneventful 2/5 NL. I won a few decent pots, but I also lost a bunch trying to hit sets that rarely hit. The 2/5 NL table was pretty weak overall, but there were also some strong players there. I met meeks16, who was sitting directly to my left for part of my 2/5 NL session. I also met a guy who claimed that he knows someone who knows teecoy and that he’s pretty sure teecoy is playing under a new name. But I wasn’t really convinced that he was credible, although he seemed like a smart kid who wouldn’t just make something like that up. Anyway, it was interesting to hear.
After that, I got up and walked with Murs316 over to the Lodge to watch the Bill Ivey v Ansky/supernova9 2K HU freezeout. I actually ended up dealing for over an hour. At about 2:30 AM (maybe 2.5 hours after they started?), the match finally came to an end. Ansky/supernova9 won.
We walked back to the tower, met up with Ray (Exitonly4), then went back to the room and talked until about 6 or 7 AM, at which point they went down to the poker room to wait for the 10 AM tournament to start and I went to sleep.
