So me and a bunch of guys got 2 houses for the summer. if we combined the players in them, it's a really sick collection of players.
The first house is bushman, smokey, ozzy, zeejustin, roman, and the second house is xTBCx (100/200 200/400 limit player), beatiful man, genius28, martine23, reddog, ahhh snap, and me.
In the first event of the WSOP, 3 of the 5 of us who played it made the final 2 tables. martine23 got 12th, steve (xTBCx) got 11th, and smokey is a total hero and won the event.
im gonna go out on a huge limb but i think smokey is the best NL tournament player in the world, especially live. He just plays every hand to the best of his ability and nothing ever makes him lose focus. He's inspired me to play better and I have played extremely well since day 1 of mandalay bay main event when he was at my table.
anyway, everyone from the houses went out to the FT to rail it. When it got down to hu a few guys made some bets with FBT's crew on who would win. Hu starts and FBT had a slight chip lead. Thankfully for smokey, hu started out in NL.
First hand, Smokey raised the button and FBT reraised from the bb. Then the following transpires:
Basically smokey sits there thinking for 2-3 minutes before deciding to call preflop. The deliberate actions out of smokey are literally the scariest things in poker. Imagine sitting there for 2-3 minutes getting stared down by an unflinching extremely focused opponent and then he just calls PREFLOP.
No offense to greg, because he seemed to play really well at times, but smokeys presence at the table is really scary.
anyway, it was a pretty good hu match and bounced back and forth, and it seemed like smokey really had control of the NL portion of the hu match while the cards really controlled the limit part, whoever was running better at the time seemed to win, however, it did seem like greg had an edge on smokey during the limit periods. Fortunately he was able to win a few big pots during limit and come out on top.
its really great for the image of online players that everyone is doing so well lately. we're really taking over all the major tournaments, and have won the last few big ones, including mandalay and mirage.
im really happy for smokey and hope its a good start to the summer for all of us. here's a really cool picture taken after the win:
back row: nat arem, me, pbdrunks, brandon schaefar and a beautiful man (hiding in the back right)
middle row: roman (empire2000), ozzy, buko, zeejustin, ahhh snap
bottom row: bushman, smokey, martine
As for me, so far this summer im doing alright. have broken even online basically, which stinks, but ive done alright in tourneys so far. I cashed for 35k in the mandalay main event, which was pretty disappointing considering the steep payout structure, and i got 159th in the 1500 nl event for 4700 or so. im playing the 1k rebuy tomorrow and i am really pumped to play it.
i have a funny story which ill post next week i think, me and ahh snap got totally owned.
