 just started running great, was stuck about 12 bucks or so after making a really stupid call with bottom trips against a guy who pot the flop and the turn, of course he flopped a set and hit a full on turn. after that I really just had some people start giving me their stacks...couple times I flop nut full JJ on J 8 8 flop vs. 8 9 6 3, turn 9 and he never stops betting and paid off my all in on river, another I have 8 8 on 8 4 4 flop, guy makes a running flush and pays me off, finally I have nut flush on flop on button, person with Q high flush pots all 3 streets and then pays off my raise on river. easy game when you flop the nuts. also got my preflop call % down to about 28 which I think is pretty tight at a 6 handed omaha game, I am in the blind 33% of the time so obviously letting go of a ton of trash.

not a whole bunch happened other than 1 hand that got me a nice 34 buck pot, I am bb with KJ85, 4 way action no raise, flop is 4 6 7 rainbow, sb pots, I repot, next guy calls, button shoves for about 5, sb shoves for about 7, I shove, other guy shoves for 10, amazingly I am only one with nuts, sb has 3 4 5 5, button has A 5 6 7, last guy has 7 8 9 9, turn is 4 river K and I take it all. Made about 20 in that pot and couldn't seem to do much outside of that hand.

Played 3 hours,
Broke Even
at Unabomber Poker
Free-Roll No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (7th out of 91 Players)
 WON 50 GOLD CHIPS
UNABOMBER BOUNTY FREEROLL : What an amazing expieriance I played with Phil"Unabomber"Laak tonight he sat next to me for more than two and a half hours we traded blows a few ,I shoved with KK and then AA , I caught a set of tens all in for 17k that put me in 3rd at the final table, 10 ppl left and so i was anxious to get Phil in a hand , He was at 7k in 7th place , The very next hand I was UTG blinds were 1000/2000 I think , I had JT off easy fold its a tight game and i dont want to lose chips , Right behind me Phil shoves, Im like damn it ! I would had like to seen a flop at least against him. The big stack at the table called with K8 ,Phil Laak had A5 , Flop came all trash to make a long story short I would had won the hand with a pair of tens and taken him out myself , Unabomber Laak was taken out by chip leader in 10th place , I was in awe for a few hours I will be back Phil Laak and we will get that head up I have been dreaming about. Bucket list !
Just weeks removed from a high-profile ATV mishap, Phil Laak and his online poker site, Unabomber Poker, will host a special Unabomber Bounty Freeroll on August 31st. As its name implies, the player who knocks out Laak from his very own tournament takes home a prize, an autographed Unabomber hoodie.
Laak has been preoccupied with recouping from his accident that occurred on August 5th in the wilds of Oregon. He Tweeted on Wednesday to his 11,000-plus followers, “Today I figured out a way to lay on my stomach. Divine. Manana getting new cast to isolate the wrist smash deal. PT on elbow then begins.” Laak posted a multitude of images of the accident and added via Twitter, “Jennifer is the best. Cuddling with her is better for the pain then even my Percocet pain medicine.” Cute.
Despite the swag up for grabs, text found in an e-mail distributed to the media last week cautioned, “The receipt of the sweatshirt might be somewhat delayed due to the fact that Laak also broke his writing hand.” The top seven finishers on the Unabomber Bounty Freeroll will receive Gold Chips as an added bonus for playing, with the amount ranging from 50 Gold Chips for seventh to 300 for first. Registration for the Unabomber Bounty Freeroll will open 60 minutes prior to its 8:00pm ET start time.
Laak broke down his injury in the same press release and then found time to talk smack about the August 31st bounty tournament on Unabomber Poker: “I easily could have lost my eye or had soup for brains. I got lucky and only have seven broken bones in my arm and 34 stitches around my eye. With Nurse Jennifer taking care of me well, I now have plenty of time now for online poker. While I am definitely battered and bruised physically, my brain is razor sharp. Just try and take me down on August 31st.”
Laak is fresh off setting the world record for longest continuous poker session at 115 hours in June at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. His lively personality and propensity for prop betting has landed him airtime on several of the industry’s staple television shows, including NBC’s “Poker After Dark” and GSN’s “High Stakes Poker.”
Laak won the Season 2 World Poker Tour (WPT) Invitational at the Commerce Casino for $100,000, one of three WPT final tables for “The Unabomber.” He’s made one final table during his World Series of Poker (WSOP) career, lodging a second place finish in a $2,500 Pot Limit Hold’em event five years ago for $156,000. He won the 2009 PartyPoker World Open for $250,000 and has two victories in “Poker After Dark” tournaments.
Unabomber Poker is a card-carrying member of the Cake Poker Network, whose roster of sites includes Cake Poker, DoylesRoom, and Power Poker. The Network is the 16th largest worldwide in terms of real money ring game traffic, boasting a seven-day running average of 850 cash game players according to PokerScout.com. The Network’s sites gladly accept players from the United States.
Laak and Victory Poker pro Antonio Esfandiari Tweeted throughout the ATV ordeal, keeping their jovial spirits despite the circumstances. Numerous pictures were submitted via Twitter, including several memorable ones of Laak lying battered, bruised, and shirtless in a hospital bed.
Visit Unabomber Poker for more information. All of us here at Poker News Daily wish Laak a speedy road to recovery.

just had one of those sessions where I seemed to drill the nuts on the turn repeatedly. I usually am the type to peel one off for a nut draw and if I miss I don't chase it unless I have several draws going, tonight seemed like I just drilled a ton of great turn cards. Had a couple guys gift me their stacks as well, so it added up to a decent session.

had a couple really annoying beats early on in the session, was stuck about 30 bucks...the one that really torked me off I have two pair and a flush against a preflop raiser that I am pretty sure has top set on A 7 9 flop, I get him to commit to it and he finds a 9 on the river that also fills me smaller. I finally got lucky late, maybe shouldn't have been there, but I have QQ77 on button, I call one raise, it goes back around raised and reraised to about 3 bucks, when it comes to me it's dead because one guy only has about 3.50 so he shoves and the other guy can't do anything with it so I call, flop is Q 8 6 with spades, I shove and run into AA nut spades, but it comes two red wheel cards and I get mostly unstuck.

kinda wanted to keep playing as I was running very well tonight, but exhausted from last evening's marathon session. this session was just about hitting a few big pots in position and guys looking me up with weaker hands...had one nice pot where I river the 2nd nut flush it's checked to me on the button, I bet 2.50 into about 7.50 and get called by 8 high flush and another guy with a set he was ramming the whole way. had another hand where 9 high flush pays off my nut flush I bet for 3 streets. nice to run into the donkers again this evening.

pretty much the same as last session, took a few really rough beats in big pots to get stuck...was down about 40 for quite a while, then would flirt with even, but never could get over the hump. finally hit a few big pots to get close and then a guy gifted me the last bit...flop top set vs. his nut flush draw open ender, I pot flop he and one other call...turn hits his nut str., I check, guy bets 2.50 into about 4.50, I call other guy calls, board pairs river, I insta pot bet it hoping someone else gets full, the one folds, our hero pays off with the str. for his last 8 bucks. thank you!

played a little better this session, but not that great overall, playing way too many hands tonight. had one key pot go to hell on me, I have AK65 double suited and end up all in with 4 way action preflop...one has AAxx..one QQJJ the aggressor in the whole thing has 5678 and he and I are playing for most of the pot...which I have totally dominated after K 8 3 flop, somehow he finds a 7, but I turn nut flush draw...river is the only Q that wins it for the QQJJ fool. Shouldn't have been there to begin with, but damn I had the guy crushed after that flop.

just playing tight, waiting for the big hands...was up about 15 bucks about 10 minutes before I quit and finally hit a monster...I have KKQJ on the button double suited, it's raised I call and the bb 3 bets it, original raiser and I both call for 1.80 total, so about 5.50 in pre...flop is A 10 5 with 2 clubs, which I have nut draw in. 3 bettor foolishly makes it 1.75 to go, other guy has about 2.25, he shoves over, I smooth call with the world's fair draw and 3 bettor is forced to just smooth call. Turn is the dreamy 6 of clubs giving me the nuts, check to me, I bet 5.50 into 11, he calls, river is 2 of clubs, he checks to me, I shove for my last 7...he thinks and finally calls showing AA double suited, other guy flopped 55.
under 30% again preflop, pretty good 6 handed. happy with the newer tighter version, hopefully I can keep rolling, back over 500 now.
