First Live Cash Win!

Well sometimes you have to brag a bit

I run a poker game with some friends from work (sit and go rebuy). The last two nights I won both games. I have to say I felt good about the way I played, I got lucky a few times, once with a hand I probably should have folded, even though we were heads up. I had help from the bullets to win me the last game. It’s been good fun!

I’ve not don’t any more updates yet with the master list yet as I’ve rather naively found the YouTube playlists and there is a good version all in order (see 2005 WSOP Main Event here), so I will rethink what I want to spend my time on here and if this is the best use of it.

You may notice gaps between posts. Don’t worry, this is the fact I am a project junkie with limited time and a chronic disorder that is a drain on my energies sometimes.

Anyway don’t want to end on that. I love the world of poker, I’m learning loads and will post back soon once I’ve collected some recent thoughts into a more presentable manner. Before I leave you I want to pass on this from the new links page that I’ve been sent: http://www.bestpokermoments.com/

PS: Yes I know the title doesn’t quite makes sense with regards to strict poker terminology as I understand it, but sometimes you have to play with words when you write

(As in ‘live cash’ refers to when you have money instead of chips in front if you, but we were playing a sit and go so that’s not the same thing, but what I mean is with people in the same room, not over the internet)

WSOP 2006 Main Event Free Video Archive

Hi Everyone,

My first offering here comes at the expense of a 50 FTP tournament to win a $26 satellite token, all in and out within 5 minutes, stupid move because I was distracted and not thinking, as is sometimes is the way with poker. (I’ve got to remember how much I played to get the chance to buy in, it’s not a freeroll heh!)

Anyway if you now go to the ‘Media‘ Section of this blog above, you will start to see the 2006 WSOP Main Event YouTube Master List. I’ve spent the last month and some watching World Series of Poker Main Events (2006-2008 so far) I found watching on YouTube fine except for all the searching, different and incomplete versions as well as inconsistently titled episode ‘parts’. So I’ve started compiling my master list, linking to YouTube to the versions I’ve found to work the Master List. This way you can open up each part in order without having to search a single word on YouTube.

This is just one of thing I’ve be obsessively compiling on this blog. I intend now as I go through each WSOP (or any other poker tournament I may find of interest) and I will list them as I watch. This makes the ‘cataloguing’ easier to do as it’s only  ‘a bit at a time’ and I can do it ahead of each episode, so it makes the process of watching easier for me too

Anyway, time to wind down for the night (still steaming a bit after that 50 freeroll). However I made over $11 on a ring game in 40 minutes (and I was down $8 at one point) thanks to a pair of pocket 9′s that held up winning me a pot of over $36; the most I’ve made recently as I’ve been timid and playing penny poker instead of dollar poker. So can’t complain over all for one night’s work.

Anyway enjoy watching the WSOP 2006 Main Event. I won’t spoil it for you by telling you who won, for those who don’t know
