ToC News and Notes

One extra donkey to avoid after oossuuu denied Numb a TOC seat last night, so the field is currently at a 23 max.

Here are the players who are in so far, and my review on them:

Jim McManus - He's written a few poker books, made a Main Event Final Table. Standard TAG Pro, imo

Adam27X - No Clue.

All In At 420 - aka Matt Stout, insanely successful Online Pro. Def. a major threat.

dignitasODEE - No Clue

hoyazo - Very strong player, I know his game very well, hopefully I have position on him.

jjok - Tight-ish, imo.

Julius_Goat - After I snapped him on the turn with nothing but A-hi (and a gutter ball and NFD), I think he lost all respect for my play (standard). Also a threat.

KeepFloppin - Heard of the name, have no idea how he or she plays.

maigrey - Team Vagina Member. No idea how she plays.

NYRambler - Total Donkey.

oossuuu754 - Probably the second or third most aggressive player in the field atm.

pvanharibo - See oossuu754.

TexansBaby - She won her TOC seat alongside me, and She plays a solid TAG game.

VinNay - I'll have to do some research to remind myself of his play.

xkm145 - Also a standard TAG player.


People I Don't wanna see win a TOC seat (because they'd absolutely crush the field or die trying)

1. Lucko
2. Chad
3. heffmike (tho he'd probably be a little more on the tighter side than the first 2)

People I wanna see win a TOC seat (because they'd be easy monies)

1. Waffles (obv, even though he has my number, everyone else has his. It's kinda like me vs. hoyazo and lucko.)
2. VBPro
3. Ali Nejad

People I wanna see win a TOC seat (because I like them as a person)

1. Turtle (obv)
2. CK
3. Joanada

Good Luck in the last 4 tournaments, everyone!

I will probably try and do a recap tomorrow... Plus I wanna read what twoblackaces thinks about the QJs call at 3-handed...

And yes, 2 members of Team Vagina chopped it. Screw you, I'm poor.

ck31 (Observer): cruuuuuuuuuuuuuubs (aka Mookie #3)

About a Year after Mookie #2, I finally take down Mookie #3. The end game happened insanely fast. 7-handed seemed to take FOR-EV-ER, with tons of raise/fold hands going down. With lucko to my right, I had a hard time stealing since HE was stealing so often. Luckily, I had hoy and edgie, a couple of TAG players, to my left so when I did raise, they tended to give me respect.

Edgie finally took a stand against me with 5-5, I was holding 9-8 of Diamonds. I think it's exactly 50-50, tho I might have a slight bit of equity. I bink the straight on the river with about 12 outs to hit (board was paired and all cards were above 5, and I had an OESD).

Then, I sat back and watched lucko and heffmike blow their loads all over the place, and when the dust settled, it was me and heffmike HU4title. I quickly got a double up when I called his shove for about 15bbs with A5o. He had KQs, outflopped me but I spiked an ace on the turn AND river. A few back and forth hands of nothing, and then we get to the final hand, which was a little interesting to say the least...

Full Tilt Poker Game #18166164592: The Mookie (135782084), Table 3 - 500/1000 Ante 125 - No Limit Hold'em - 0:46:20 ET - 2010/02/04

Eh it's a close race. I have 4 pair outs (non-spade Ace or King), 9 club outs. that's 13 outs to try and hit the river to win my third Mookie Title... So I'm about 28% to win... but wait a minute...
