WSOPoker Day 19, 20, & 21 - Event #34, $3k LHE - End of Day One
nother Day Two... ... have made I.Other than that, meh. 10,700 in chips, 16k is the average, coming back tomorrow at the 8-16 level, and pretty much, I'm gonna have to get some hands. Unfortunately I will be unable to play the kind of LHE that I like to play, but such is the structure of limit tournaments that Harrah's has devised.
Lemme go on a rant about that for a moment. In all the limit events the blinds are starting at 25-50, and then 50-75 for level two. NL events go 25-50 then 50-100. If you know anything about poker, this makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Furthermore, playing 50-100 with a 6k or 10k stack really doesn't matter at all. Why not start at 50-100 and add in the key levels that they take out down the road like 500-1000, 1200-2400, 2500-5000, 5k-10k, etc, etc. These structures are really retarded because we have a ton of play that doesn't matter at all in limit in the beginning and then zero play when the play actually matters.
OK. Rant over.
Fun things today: I found myself sitting with "CrazyMike", AKA MrGatorade on 2+2. Guy's hilarious, but annoyed plenty of people. Course, I'm nuts too, and thought it was great.
We made plenty of prop best throughout the night.
Coinflips for $100:
Round 1: Devo
2: Mike
3: Devo
4: Devo
5: Mike
6: Mike
7: Mike
8: Devo
9: Mike
10: Mike
11: Mike
Mike = +$300
Over/Under on runners after day one: I set line at 100, he took under, Devo wins $100.
Mike = +$200
Devo proposes that he can ride a wheelchair in a full wheelie across the entire pavilion without coming out of wheelie position once without practice. I had to wear a helmet. Devo wins $100.
Mike =+$100
Outstanding bet: Devo/Mike $200 last-longer. I've got him edged in chips going into tomorrow, so...... it still doesn't matter. It's an effing crapshoot anyways.
In other news, I've taken up wakeboarding. I went out on the lake Tuesday and got up on a wakeboard for my 4th and 5th times of my life... and took the worst wipeout of my wakeboarding career. With the board perpendicular to the boat (oops) I was still holding onto the rope as I caught my front edge on the water. For those of you playing at home, my feet completely stopped while the rest of my body continued at 30 mph as I landed flat on the water. Ouch.
I'm getting old. My body still hurts after 24 hours.
Anyways, here's to running good tomorrow.
Peace and good luck,
Devo
