Absolute Poker

Wow.  I have been reading a thread at pocketfives.com and Jared "TheWacoKidd" Hamby has posted a very interesting claim of cheating on Absolute.  If you would like to check it out follow this:

 I tend to believe their claims but I hope it is all some kind of joke, because the potential bad press this could recieve if it blows up could be terrible for the legal future of online poker.

$4/8 Texas Hold'em

The game evaporated due to hurt feelings over rule enforcement.  Luckily hit the high hand bonus to get me out of the hole for the night.

School

I have started school again so my days of entering every small buy in tourny Full Tilt runs during the day are over.  I hope I will have the chance to play some tourneys during the weekends but I may not be on much other than a few live games here with some friends, and the weekly free tournament the poker "club" runs.  Hopefully fall break gets here soon so I can waste away a few days making final tables again (the term again used kind of loosely lol)....good luck anyone who happens to read this.

$20 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (1st out of 26 Players)

We split four ways.
 
First hand I get pocket aces and hit a boat on the flop.  Trapped the guy in and doubled up.  Played a few hands here and there, and got some more chips.
 
Second table I busted a few players after hitting two pair on the flop to really chip me up for the final table.
 
At the final table, I just skated along until we made the money.  Everyone was pretty close to even, if someone double up they would have a good chip lead.
 
I look down at QQ.  The guy before me moves all in for one more chip then me.  I get a good read off of him after verbalizing a few things and call.  He shows 1010.  And, as well as I have been running, he spikes a ten to win the pot.  I have one chip left and the blinds are 2 chips/ 4 chips.
 
I ask if anyone wanted to chop, and told them if they don't they will be in trouble! (:
 
So I pick my spots and get all the way up to 26 chips...yah baby! Karma is a good thing sometimes. 
 
The blinds were climbing too fast and I still was in fourth place, the line up was good peoples and didn't mind walking away a winner after having one chip left.
 
All in all, I played a good tournament, and picked my moves and times properly.  Oh, and congrats to gfro with the AK...you got luuuuucky!

POKER IDIOTS

It really is amazing what you come across in the poker world these days.  I was dealing tonight, was expecting to get of at about 12:30 AM, but noooooooo.  The inevitable occurred.  To of the most moronic poker players decided to play a few hands heads up.  I will not say any names to protect the idiots, I mean innocent!
 
One player was a newer player that went through one of my old students dealer school.  Basically he has the itch and doesn't know when to quit.  I don't think he even made it through the class. 
 
The other player was just a stone cold donkey, who donates when he comes in, and always stiffs the dealers.
 
It's pretty sad when you have to prompt for blinds and control the action in a HEADS UP game! So, I just gave in, and they figured it out on there own.
 
Now, my co-worker and I are probably the two fastest dealers on staff, so what the hell, rake the shit out of the game.  Not once did they ask for a rake reduction, or commented on where the chips were going.
 
Player one started out with 280 in chips, player two with just around 200.  Once player two went bust, an hour and fifteen minutes later, player one cashed out for 250.  Yes, we raked 230...some tips from player 2, in 1:15! They both didn't have a clue, and it was actually fun taking that much money in rake for the house, as the poker room has been a bit slow lately. 
 
Just thought I would share with you guys, hope you like my story!
