well I wrote in my previous post that Ivey was bust at the rio. Obviously thats not true since he is one of the november nine. He took a small brake when I was there, he was low in chips so he wasnt on the chipcounts and guys on the rail said he was bust. I was pretty fooled. Happy that I was though. I hope he can win that bracelet! He is probably the best player in the world and to win the ME would just get that into the history books!
At the tables tonight was a lot of talk about Mr. Ivey. He went in at Bobbys room after the game finished at Rio and talked to Antonius, Illari o Co. As usual he didnt show any emotions at all 
After he had shown up, there was a lot of talk about the prob bets he has. According to several people here he bet 10 to 1 after day 1 that he could reach the final table at the ME. At that time he also bet $20k at 100 to 1 that he would win the ME Thats a guy with too much confidence or too much money.
If the bet with Howard Lederer (5M$) is not just a rumour I guess he could win like 10M$ in just prop bets if he wins the ME!
Playwise the Bellagio doesnt like me. I am playing 2/5 and the games are really soft but my hands can never win..
Once again it started out well, I called down a guy 3 streets ip with TT on Q85ss82 and he muched before I even got a chance to show my hand. That was the only big hand I won all night. 
I lost 2 flips AI pre, top 2 against a FD on turn etc but it was like the cards didnt want to go my way. It was also a bit hard to bluff since everyone saw me as this young aggressive swedish internet kid and called me down with like 3 pair no matter the board. Guess I have blame myself. I kinda made a joke or two about having pair-outs when I bluffed in a pot and the table didnt believe me one second after that. I wanted to really get value from that but when I even didnt hit a pair for 1,5h I quit and am going to bed now.
I guess I will loose a couple of BI tomorrow too but then its enough at NL500. I really dont have the bankroll to loose too much at this level even if I think these are the softest games I have played in.. they are even softer then Stockholms 20/20 games..

If it's true, that's already $20M from this single prop-bet. There is also a bet between Ivey and Negreanu. They pay each other for any bracelet, not sure how much tho. |

I dont know how you can get it to 20M.. When I said 10M it was in total, with all prop bets I heard of. (2M from the 20k bet, 5M from howard, + a lot of small bets from like Negreanu (200k) and probably a lot of prop bets we havnt heard of). |

Probably due to more rake and tip in every hand for the casino...Even if a 6max games is faster some evil person must have calculated on it being more profitable to only arrange FR-games for the hoster...sadly... |

It also requires alot more space for the casino to have 6max tables and still be able to let as many people as possible play.
Just keep on trying 2/5, you'll probably get on a heater soon enough. Also, when are you coming home? |
