Poker is in my heart, and my heart is in poker. Yes I'm a freak. Phear my check raise in the dark.

Mike Sexton on skill in poker
Poker
Here's a nice little video from Mike Sexton, the voice of the WPT, explaining why poker is a game of skill. Obviously I agree with this concept, but I like the way he puts it.

Mike Sexton on skill in poker

As Mike explains here, if there is anyone who thinks that poker is NOT a game of skill, let's setup a game every other week and we'll see who comes out the winner at the end of the year. I'll be taking all your money, which is why playing poker is clearly a game of skill.

WBCOOP final post
Poker

Well, my WBCOOP this year was a disaster !

Not a single deep run and to be honest, none of the events were even FUN to play ! 80% of the table was on sitout in each one of them and the few players at my table that were actually playing didn't seem to have a clue what they were doing. This was definitely different last year. Somehow I found myself at the table with people who had just recently created a Pokerstars account and had played 5 tourneys with an average buyin of $0.05 ! Obviously freeroll whores who probably 'cheated' their way into this tournament. You are supposed to have a poker blog thats regularly updated .. I'm willing to put money on the fact that none of these players had an actual poker blog, maybe just a poker post or 2 on their general blog or something.

I hope Pokerstars does something to make this tournament better next year ...

 
WBCOOP - Round 3 - NLH
Poker

Well here we go another day another freeroll....

Signed up just in time,  close to 2k runners this time (around 1800 actually). Again a lot of people sitting out at my table. 2 guys are sitting in, they seem to want to steal the blinds every hand so I'll let them while the blinds are low and build a tight image

Repopped it with AQ from the SB and he folded :)

Took down a decent with AJ vs 45. Stack now 2680.

Lost a pot .. thought he was bluffing and I had an open ended straight draw .. back to 2k.

Down to 1200 now ... I am not playing tight enough I guess, but there are only 3 others at the table not sitting out, can't really keep folding.

Ok, I'm out. This was not even enjoyable ! I only played a few hands but they called me every time and they raised my blinds every hand, I shove on him and he shows up with AQ ! He was playing every hand, where does he get AQ from ?

Sigh ...another chance tomorrow I guess.

WBCOOP - Round 2 - PLO
Poker

Pot limit omaha time tonight.

Plenty of people at my table are sitting out, but 1 guy is calling everything... Very hard to play against. Will have to hit something. Had 2 nice hands but the flop was nasty both times.

I raise AKQQ and the flop came T22, I bet in position he called.I figured he probably had a 2 and when he bombed the turn I just folded... he showed a total rag hand with a 2 in it..

The next hand I had a flushdraw and called a few small bets .. this has already brought my stack down to 1120 :( Not looking good. (Someone PLEASE hit my boomswitch !!)

Ok, he is finally folding to some bets and I split 1 pot withhim ... and finally got a boat and worked my stack back up to 2739 !

Lost a small pot when I made the nut straight on a paired board .. Check called the river and down to 2379 now.

Yess... flopped a boat and got it all in against aces. Up to 5k now.

The very next hand I flop a Q high flush and get it all in against another guy with aces ! Up to 8673 now... Niiiice. I'm in position 31 of 1179 now.

I get AA89 double suited and repop it HUGE.. he still calls and calls a full pot bet on the flop withjust top pair. He turns a flush draw and hits it on the river. Back to 4k now. This guy is tilting me pretty bad now.

I filled up on the river to make my boat, 9700 now. 50/967.

Guy put me on full blown monkey tilt now. He's calling 3 bets pre flop with total garbage and just hitting miracles. I'm back down to 3500 ... break now. Breathe in .... breathe out !

Ok busted against the same guy obviously. My KKxx against his JJxx, he hits the J and im out. What pisses me off to no extent is this was one of those eastern european freeroll leeches that seem to have infected all the online freerolls. I'm pretty sure he has no poker related blog since he has played 5 online tournaments for 5c buyin each. Nice to see the WBCOOP is also infected with these leeches.
