Maybe Phil Helmuth actually is the greatest player of all time...

Huge double for Hellmuth!

Want Lind or Seiver to win.

PostRe: The Poker Thread - #winning by **Drumstick** » Thu Jul 07, 2011 1:10 am

Lind, Seiver or Hellmuth for me. Seiver is going to be so dangerous now he's got some chips.

So brutal for Hellmuth :lol:

Missed all three flush draws, actually feel sorry for him :lol:

Just read that every all-in situation at the final table ended with the best hand when the chips went in winning.

I guess if luck wasn't involved Hellmuth would...finish second?!?!

He's still had an incredible series by anyone's standards. 2nd in the 10k 2-7 WC, 2nd in the 10k Stud8 WC and 2nd in the Poker Player's Championship. Perhaps Sykes has more in common with him than he thinks?

I was so rooting for him as well... When he had like 16m to Rast's 3m I thought it was as good as done.

Surely the whole "he can only play Hold'em" argument is no longer valid.

Has another good session at the cash tables today, up $64. That's two winning days in a row, must be a new record for me. :lol:

Looking at me results in HEM it appears at one point this week I was down $296 but my roll was only $400 so nearly went broke :fp:

However, since then I've started to play properly and win most of it back:

All in EV line?

That's really only about 2 days worth of 4 tabling though really. Pretty small sample. You playing a bit of everything at the moment?

Will take some of Zinger's action.

Just got knocked out of the Package Qualifier, got 1 more chance left. Otherwise it's onto trying qualify to UKIPT Edinburgh.

EV is pretty similar, but I haven't been getting it all-in much before the river, I think overall I'm actually about $10 above EV. I've only been 2-tabling and just for an hour or two a day, but been sticking with 25NL. I was playing lots of HU last month but I think I ended up break even in the end, so 6-max cash is my new thing (until I start losing and go back to MTTs).

Is there any televised coverage of Day 1A?

Not until ESPN start airing the WSOP next month AFAIK. I heard on this week's final table podcast that the featured tables will be streamed online from day 3 onwards though.

Sweet. Any videos of last night's final table?

PostRe: The Poker Thread - #winning by **Ecno** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 12:57 am

Currently on $50 rebuy FT on Ongame.

PostRe: The Poker Thread - #winning by **Ecno** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 1:34 am

5th for $2,250.06

Nice.

I've decided my challenge for the month is to stick with 25NL and try to put enough volume in to reach Goldstar. If I start 4-tabling it shouldn't be too hard, I just need to play about 17,000 more hands.

Gj on the cash enco.

just a question which you dont have to answer but we see that you must have a considerable roll at the moment compared to the rest of us. what roll are you currently playing with/ how many buyins at the $100 stakes? its a stake which i aim to be playing at by the end of the year so was just looking for some more info around it??

And once again, can we get a video?
