Away For a Few More Days and Regarding Stat Keeping

2006-08-24T16:33:00.000-05:00

With family in town for a special occasion, I haven't had time to rail and blog. Sorry. I will be unavailable until Monday or Tuesday. Thanks a lot for the emails and feedback.

On stat keeping. I could run Poker Tracker and slurp HH's to collect stats, but the stats would mean little because we're not gonna get every hand that is played by our notable pros on every table and will cause for the numbers to be misinterpreted or out of context.

Poker isn't a sport. It's a game and watching the game is what I do.

Phil Ivey on MAJOR STEAM!!!

He left the tables for the night. Wow!

There is almost $300k on this table. How it got here, you can see in my "Phil Ivey steams" blog entry. Here's the first huge pot we saw and this looked like it was gonna be "it." It wasn't, but I feel "it" looming.

The Big Guns at the PLO Table and Riding a Mike Matusow Rollercoaster

2006-08-20T23:56:00.000-05:00

Mike Matusow, John DAgostino, John Juanda, looseslots, and sbrugby in some PLO action. $100/$200 are the blinds as a few of our pros have avoided $200/$400 because of what's been chronicledthe last few days. I predict that more are stuck than we could really keep track of.

triplewitch went borke to looselots right as I hit the table and he left. Dags seems to be on an absolute tear. Any HH's, people? I'll look on forums and fina what I can for you guys. We start off with a shortstacked Matusow doubling up on a perfect "turn" of events for him.

It's pretty much a heads up game. Cap-gun vs. AK47. looseslots has $62,000 to Mikey's $6k.

I was away for a while because I was playing for a while. I came back to the game and it was a full table with Phil Ivey, John Juanda, and cmynuts at the table. No one's too deep at the moment, so I'm thinking that the game broke and has reassembled. looseslots is chipping away at Ivey in a fairly non-eventful $200/$400 game. This was just nuts. A lot of gamble here.

He just reloaded to $20k. That huge hand and being up to $87k and the big smile on his avatar... never happened. The game got some new participants as Juanda, cmynuts, sbrugby, and fidelio mad their returns. cmynuts doubled up his $8k buy in with a hand that Matusow summed up in one word for us all, "joke."

Now, it isn't my place to say and I might be way out of line here, but Mike Matusow is known to be one of the best Omaha Hi/Lo players in the world and kills the $1k/$2k limit game online regularly. From watching him a lot on television and playing online, I start to feel concerned with his losses in big-bet games. Again, not my place to say and you guys probably don't want to read my opinion here, but it's almost cold to not feel this way, in my opinion. This, along with Ivey earlier tonight and Prahlad a couple of nights ago has really taught me a lot about these high-stakes gamblers and it's interesting and exhilarating to watch, but this is the downfall of watching all this.

Speaking of "HOLY MOLY!" This hand was sick, sick, sick, and sick. Three people flopped sets (one of whom had 3 of a kind in the hole) and Juanda flopped a wrap/flush draw... Mikey got coolered.

Cunningham is taking a ton of pots without showdown now and in up to $90k. He's putting on a clinic, and getting a bit of luck here considering that people are catching lesser hands. Here, he flopped a double guthot, picked up a flush draw on the turn and hit Boradway on the river.

Prahlad Rebounds?

2006-08-20T17:44:00.000-05:00

Prahlad Friedman (Spirit Rock) seemed to be taking the day off from PLO after the debacle from last night that faded into this morning. Last I checked, he had $30k+ on a $50/$100 UB table, $45k on a $25/$50 Full Tilt table, and was playing TeeDitty (Tuan Le) heads up. Tuan took the early lead out, it seemed, but Prahlad cam roaring back after I started spying in.

WOW! Anyone watching had to feel running diamonds coming off the last hand when they saw the flop. Prahlad had horrible luck yesterday and it got to him. It starting to come back his way, folks.

Next was heads up, $50/$100 against John Juanda and this started off pretty ugly for Prahlad. First hand that I saw, so it's a partial. I'll look for the full HH.

Prahlad Tilts Off an Unknown Obscene Amount of Money for the Stakes Including a $160k+ Pot

2006-08-20T06:20:00.000-05:00

I wasn't updating this live because I was multi-tabling and in absolute shock at what I was watching. FYI, im sleeping=Prahlad Friedman. I'm heavily tilting (bad word choice) in the direction that Shadowclowns is someone EXTREMELY familiar with Prahlad. I had to slurp these HH's off of a couple of forums.:

Bear in mind, people that this $50/$100 blinds. the max. buy-in is only $10,000. There are over 3,600 Big Blinds on this table when it's all said and done.

Prahlad reloaded immediately to $10,000 while Shadowclowns had $361,000. Shadowclowns said, "BYE." and left the table. Prahlad was playing someone else heads up on another table where he had $30k to his opponents $80k and went broke there as well.

I then, found Prahlad on Full Tilt and was about to go to bed, but this railbird's here for you while you're sleeping. He took a seat in a $200/$400 PLO table and was heads up against smarx. In the 4th hand, this happened:

Ivey left, but TeeDitty went on a bit of a heater forcing Matusow to fold what was an apparent straight to Tee whent eh board paired on the river. We're 4-handed now with looseslots, Matusow, sbrugby, and TeeDitty, and the game died out a bit.

A couple of unknowns occupied empty seat and we were 6 handed now. Matusow took a short break and came back with a huge bang.

The game was slow for a while longer, but looseslots kept sleeping with angels as he hits flops a 10 out draw to Mikey's lo set and catches a bigger full house on the board. This was a bit stunning to watch.

sbrugby's gone on a little heater as he/she's taken down a $50k+ pot from looseslots that I don't have the HH for. This is a full table of pretty good players and people are playing each other very hard, you'd think. But the big stacks and maybe satigue put the brakes on the guys as the game died down. looseslots got up. Matusow went off to play Limit O8 and Razz, while Cunningham was nursing a short stack. Safe to say that this game was over... Cunningham just went all in and lost a $4000 pot and rebought for $2000 (10 big blinds). As I said earlier, game over.

This One Started Out So Ugly For Spirit Rock

2006-08-18T21:42:00.000-05:00

Wherever there's hi-stakes action, there's Prahlad Friedman (Spirit Rock). Erik1223 (Erik Sagstrom) and Prahald's nemesis, TerrorOfSweden (Fast_Freddie on Prima) were really handing out the punishment to him in the big pots:

Prahlad reloaded, won a $10k pot and sat out as looseslots and DaFool sat in.

As much as we love to watch Prahlad here, he needs a break to hang it up for the night. We'll see, but in the meantime, DaFool lost his $5k buy-in to looseslots and soon, looseslots lost a $13.5k pot to Erik. Prahlad came back and he seemed everything but calmed down.

WOW! Anyone know who Arabianight is?

Here's a huge hand for Prahlad Friedman (Spirit Rock) who's adjusted perfectly to being on Gus's right. The game's filled up a bit with Mike Matusow, eps (rumored to be Eli Elezra), and couple of others including fidelio. Jesus, this was insane:

Gus shipped a ton of money over to Prahlad, maybe thinking Prahlad was on steam or that he'd laydown. Gus might've just not known where he was at and decided to gamble, but to not have Prahlad on a set from his rockish play is odd here when Gus was on a redraw at best. It was $30k to Prahlad.

Otherwise, this game is pretty dead and slow. Maybe, Mikey was trying to liven it up a bit to create action for later. He did rebuy for the full $20k. Prahlad left and Roland de Wolfe sat along with an unknow to me who calls himself, Arabianight (I'll do some research on this.) looselots, who i keep hearing is David Benyamine, left the table as well and was sitting out at a $200/$400 PLO table with de Wolfe.

Now, Chip is a grinder. When he's in the pot, he got "it" and everyone's staying away from him. But looseslots decided to tangle with the man and ouch:

$100/$200 PLO- Gus, Allen, Juanda, Lindgren, looseslots

2006-08-17T21:18:00.000-05:00

This is definitely a big game, not only in regards to the stakes, but the names and the deep pockets involved. Gus Hansen, Allen Cunningham, looselots, Erick Lindgren, John Juanda, and a player that I see a lot who calls himself 10lb bass are all in the game, but no one' deep stacked. Closest stack to deep would be Lindgren with $20k at the table.

looseslots fed on these stacks and people starting filling up like crazy. After a short time, Gus and Allen were at $23k and $29k, respectively. Lindgren fed on a small stack and was up to $29k, but looselots was the big heater here with $65k+. Allen left the table, I'd guess to focus on the two high limit O8 games that he was seated in.

The game was 6-handed soon. Gus, Juanda, and Lindgren, weren't going anywhere with all of that money in front of looseslots. Lidgren's stay paid off- big time.

$100/$200 PLO- JD'ags, Matusow, Seidel, Grey, and Prahlad***

2006-08-17T01:46:00.000-05:00

I was doing some multitabling, so I missed some stuff, but when I was done, I couldn't find any big Hold 'em games and only one PLO game of interest. Weird. Then, I saw who was seated and WOW! What a game.

David Grey
John D'Agostino
Erik Seidel
Mike Matusow
Prahlad Friedman (Spirit Rock)

What a pro lineup for us here. The rest of the table was full and the people sitting were: looseslots, farflung, and tjalfe. The last two I'm unaware of, but we've covered looseslots a bit in other games. Right off the bat, the chips start flyin':

I enjoy David Grey a lot. He isn't as well known as some of the others, but he's very witty and nice at the table. Always lightens the mood. He did leave an orbit after this hand because D'ags was sitting out and the only people left playing were looseslots, Prahlad, Matusow, and Seidel. Shorthanded Omaha is always amazing.

looseslots re-bought for $8,000 and went on a little tear winning some pots, leading to this one against Matusow:

D'ags was already gone and Matusow changed seats after this hand to get away from Prahlad's left and to get on looseslots' right. Allen Cunningham sat in on Matusow's right and Prahlad took a huge blow here to looseslots when looselots flopped a set and Prahlad missed his wrap. Cunningham saw this hand and knew that anypot with looselots was gonna get really expensive and he'd have to have some gamble in him:

Prahlad went on a serious tear after this pot, taking small pots without showdown and showing the bluff to get the pulse back in this game. batoelrob was the one taking flops with Prahlad and laying down. FakeSky has offered up a heads up match to Prahlad. No response from Prahlad, but in the meantime, rob finally took some bait... twice.

livewinner

2006-08-16T05:53:00.000-05:00

The biggest question as of late on the Full Tilt rail is "Who is livewinner?" There's a good thread on 2+2 tiltled ok, who is livewinner? Now, i was watching the recent WSOP ME final table live on ESPN.com and remember the text message from Thunder Keller asking to relay a message to Phil Hellmuth about playing $1k/$2k Stud on Full Tilt. I didn't check the FTP tables because I was playing 4 games of my own and watching the WSOP, so I wanted to have the least amount of windows open as possible because I was getting bad connections as it was.

I think that that is the most compelling evidence that could lead us to conclude that Thunder Keller is "livewinner" on FTP, but there's more...

The odd quote in the chat that stated, "i know this accts cover's been blown all ready." Keller, as far as I know isn't under contract with UB to play there exclusively, but a certain Mr. Phil Hellmuth, Jr. is. Right now, Phil Hellmuth is playing $300/$600 on UB and livewinner is playing $500/$1000 Razz and O8 on FTP. Coincidence? The game on UB is only 4 handed and Hellmuth is stalling and folding like he's multi-tabling.

There's also the question, "Who is UltimateButt?" In all honesty, this person reeks of Hellmuth. The name and the way he talks. He drops the F-bomb a lot on the site and always after he loses a pot. There are people who've said that this is Thunder, but the way he talks doesn't seem like Thunder.

So, my opinion is that I don't know who the hell livewinner is. Keller sounds right, but the need for a cover and saying that his name was "Frank" to Matusow and D'ags and them replying "ahhh" puts the Hellmuth angle into question.

"Frankly," I'm confused.

looselots is a pro, though. He took down a nice $25,000 pot without showdown and is getting back in this game. I see little evidence of steam. He showed great discipline despite the losses and got right back up after falling. This was sweet:

Ivey went broke soon when him and FakeSky caught top two and Ivey moved in. FakeSky called and hit a re-draw on the turn to take the $21,000 pot. There'd be two more $20k+ pots in the next 4 hands. The action is really heating up here as Ivey reloads for the maximum of $20k. Certain people- dsindy and dazzy seemed to walk on water for a bit and Ivery was was back down to a little under $14k. dazzy ended FakeSky's night in this game by catching him in a cooler:

Ivey sat out and here came the one and only Spirit Rock (Prahlad Friedman). Prahlad was not happy with gandi9 sitting out and waiting for players. FakeSky kept rollin':

A lot of jabbing continued and gandi was still sitting out. Finally, Ivey came back, but sat out a couple of hands and Prahlad took another hit:

That was an expensive lesson in bankroll management.

But now the 6max. game is full with gandi and 3 other solid players. It's going to be interesting to see at what pace the chips fly because they've been flyin'. A 6max. limit specialist, reztes757, sat with a shortstack and FakeSky didn't need much time to take it all. gandi sat back and enjoyed the scenery being a snob in the privacy of his own home, probably. He was fantasizing of when he'd bust these people who "play too many hands." It's a seven card game, gandi and FakeSky taught you an expensive lesson with a great read that gandi had a monster that a 2 card nit couldn't lay down:

$100/$200 PL Omaha. A Railbird's Paradise of a Lineup.

2006-08-15T22:39:00.000-05:00

Chip Reese (CaseyAtTheBat), Prahlad Friedman, and Mike Matusow sat in a $50/$100 PL Omaha game. Along came FakeSky (I'd love to find out this person's identity.) and we had a game going. No one was looking to play big pots for a while, but big pots are inevitable with the one and only, Prahlad, at the table. We are seeing some really smart and aggressive shorthanded Omaha here and the boys are putting on a clinic. Erick Lindgren decided to sit and join in on the fun, so I had a feeling that this was gonna get juicy because Lindgren and Prahlad have been exchanging blows all night in the other PLO game.

Matusow was loving this table and calling everyone a fish, but I could just see him screaming, "HOLD! HOLD!" at the monitor for this hand against Prahlad:

Not long after, Cunningham had much better luck than Grey winning some nice pots at the table amidst of the congratulations from the railbirds that follow around the site. My quote of the night has to be:

Flophunter (Observer): Geez, they should change "Learn, chat and play with the pros" to "Watch the pros push chips around in silence"

Flophunter, you rule! Huge classic Omaha flop in this hand between Lindgren and Matusow where Matusow caught the right side of the coin:

Matusow did blow up and needle Cunningham after taking this beat. Matusow referred to Cunningham as "Mr. Cant-Even-Beat Jaime Gold." I liked Cunningham's reply to that.

Boy, were those some fireworks. Prahlad and others have left, so we're 5-handed now with Cunningham, Grey, Lindgren, Matusow, and Juanda. This hand was a monster pot for Lindgren to take down as Juanda continues to not run very well:

Erik Seidel, John Juanda, Erick Lindgren, and Spirit Rock. Allen Cunningham was on Prahlad's right and switched seats to be between Seidel and Lindgren when i started watching, but too much action to keep talking. Let's get right to the action. This was just a killer hand:

Lucky for us raibirds, we get to see some amazing action from the biggest names in the game- Allen Cunningham, Chip Reese (CaseyAtTheBat), David Grey, and Mike Matusow playing some Fixed Limit Omaha 8. looseslots was an interesting player to round it out. Any know who this is, let me know.

Cunningham took a nasty beat to looselots when I started watching:

Bonyadi v. gandi9- $50/$100 NLHE Heads-Up

2006-08-15T06:50:00.000-05:00

Mr. Farzad Bonyadi got royally pissed after gandi9 beat him in a $9,000+ pot in a $50/$100 NLHE 6 max. game. He expressed how steamed he was and offered a heads-up match for gandi. gandi accepted.

The normal jabbing took place between the two skilled big-bet players of different natures. Farzad- more aggressive and gandi- more conservative. I was a bit concerned that gandi would not survive a more open atmosphere, but he recovered from every Farzad-jab with a hook. No uppercuts in the first 15 hands, but enough jabs to have Farzad at $15,000. But, gandi evened teh score in the next few hands putting them almost in the equal $12,000 range. Farzad needed a break. That alone shows that this was some great action to watch when Farzad needs a break after 36 hands. gandi leaves?! WTF?!

Ah. OK.

sbrugby invited gandi to play a $50/$100 NLHE 6max. game where only rugby was sitting. Farzad sat and gandi sat out?! WTF?!

Anywhoodles, it's 7:15AM here and I need some sleep. B-Bye.

Seated are John Juanda, cmynuts, and Ozzy 87. My feelings on Ozzy are clear from the NLHE game going simultaneously with this PLO game. Ozzy lost a sizeable pot that I feel is rude to report because this is where he makes his money:

Juanda + 6max= Here We Go!!!

2006-08-15T05:14:00.003-05:00

The game is NLHE.

The blinds are $5/$10 and it is 6max., boys and girls with John Juanda, Ozzy 87, gandi9, woltas (the shortstack wizard), and a couple of others here at our party. It's a real "small-ball" game with nits like gandi and woltas here, not to mention the Ozzy can be a bit nitty at times. This is Juanda's playground and are just freeze-tag spectators. But knowing that gandi is a nit, I wonder what Juanda had to call that turn. I had gandi on KK, and Juanda on KJ. I was wrong on gandi, but believe I was definitely right on Juanda. Hard to lay down on Juanda's part:

Seat 6: woltas (small blind) folded before the Flop

Now, you're gonna hear my observations and if you disagree, please say so. But, Ozzy is a nit and makes money as one. I just have to question his game selection at times because of hands like this that I see creep up on him a lot in shorthanded games. His play screamed, "I have Jacks! Get me out of here, Juanda!"

$100/$200 NLHE: Juanda, Friedman, and... PimpOwnage?

2006-08-14T03:45:00.000-05:00

Farzad Bonyadi, gandi9, durrr are playing 3-way here. A lot of pre-flop action here and not a lot of post-flop play. Someone's setting a trap for someone here. The game was tight and a bit weak. Then, PimpOwnage sat with a full stack, woltas bought in for the $4,000 minimum, and then came the one and only Spirit Rock. His avatar was angry. Uh-oh.

Fairly elementary hand from Prahlad. This is early in our journey through the world of Full Tilt Poker's high stakes action and I'll tell you now that if you don't know Prahlad Friedman by now, you will. He's my favorite, so you will. The angry face stuck around until this hand.

And Friedman went on to show steal after steal after steal. Juanda got a kick out of it and did a great job of keep this chat friendly after the bit of ugliness before. Then, Prahlad decides to mix it up with durrr who is damn near never playing.

The shortstacking seat warmer left and Ozzy 87 took the empty seat with a full stack and left soon after watching a few hands. Now, with all of Friedman's amazing play, he seemed to overlook the fact that Juanda was just taking in the scenery and boy, did he take it in? Juanda made a helluva call and I will say that Friedman played this hand like a gem, though he lost it in the end. That river bet was like the sound of Andrea Botecelli's voice.

Prahlad goes on a bit on steam after this and talks about how both played the hand well and he'd make that play tomorrow and Juanda flatters him while Prahlad makes up for it with some small pots. He then loses $10k+ when gandi9 represents Broadway on the turn and Prahlad is forced to drop the hand. He tabgled with Juanda again and bear in mine that Prahlad is showing every bluff as he plays every hand.

Then, here comes a drunk Mark Vos who makes an entrance with:

Mark Vos: drunken shove time
Spirit Rock: mark vos
Spirit Rock: you gonna ruin this game
Spirit Rock: come in for 4k
Spirit Rock: sick

Vos admits that he just wants to gamble a bit and Ozzy 87 sits back down, so we've got a nice little game again called Ozzy's all-in with AJ... Ozzy had AK. Called Ozzy all-in for $500 with J4... Ozzy had K6 and he re-bought for $3,000 and pushedd all-in on the button with A4 and Juanda won with AK. He re-bought for $200 and lost it to Prahlad with AQ to Prahlad's J9 and left the table. He went and invaded a heads up $500/$1,000 Limit O8 game where Mike Matusow was playing and took $11k off the drunk.

Now, Prahlad said that he had 44 in the hole on this while Ozzy was Sitting Out. Yes, Ozzy sat out after this hand and Prahlad had the illusion that Ozzy was gonna hit n' run. He couldn't let it go and needled Ozzy for the next 15 hands that he sat out:

This was an excellent game to cover for our first as a railbirding reporter. Prahlad was definitely God for a day here. Phil Ivey is playing $500/$1000 and $1000/$2000 Limit Omaha 8, but the game isn't very lively and I need to get some sleep. 'Til next time, folks.
