gl tony bloom.....

Twist.

 

[The Great Cornholio]

Gotcha. Thanks TGC.

BTW, what do you define as the posh part of Hailsham? I'm a Town Farm boy myself.

Tongue in cheek comment against the tirade of abuse Hailsham gets on here. Just off of Anglesey Avenue.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Yep, weak play.

 

[Mackenzie]

and an example when it works out:

19:31
28/07/2010

[10D] [5H] limp from tony, [2H] [6D] for erik

[8C] [10S] [6H]... check from erik, 60k from tony, called...

[4D]... check from erik, tony bets 120k, erik folds

 

[The Great Cornholio]

Yep, weak play.

Strange from such an experienced player but you need to be the aggressor in heads up whereas he seems to be waiting for top pair. He obviously knows far more than me about the game but it seems a weak Heads Up game so far to me.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Almost equal on chips, c'mon Tony!

 

[Mackenzie]

The come back is on.....1240 erik
1160 tony

[10D] [5H] limp from tony, [2H] [6D] for erik

[8C] [10S] [6H]... check from erik, 60k from tony, called...

[4D]... check from erik, tony bets 120k, erik folds

That wasn't a limp - call though. That was a limp that was checked. Limp calling Heads up is normally a monster so perhaps that was his strategy but it didn't work.

 

[Mackenzie]

TB now chip leader....

 

[The Great Cornholio]

Could be in front now!
120k raise from tony with [AD] [2S] call from erik [QD] [10H],

[AC] [9C] [QH]... 120k from bloom is called, [8S] .. check from erik, all-in from tony, erik folds.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

More like it, useful flop!

T.G.C, as it appears you are the most intellegible person on the subject, what is the jackpot or whatever you call it in poker now??
I know very little about poker, am simply interested for the sake of how much Bloom will win, and whether we could be looking at a new striker with the winnings

For players of this standard, these are the hands that are needed to finish it. Top Pair against second pair and still it doesn't all go in. Worse players are calling Bloom there with second pair and a gutshot.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Just a shame Erick aint one of those worse players.

It seems to take longer to play one hand than half the NSC poker stars last on a Sunday evening.

The WSOP Main Event which has just got down to the last 9 players is by far the biggest payout at around $9 million. But there were over 7000 entries so the odds of winning are slim. The winner of ths tournie wins $1 million which is more achieveable as it is only 100 or so players. There is no massive money to be made in poker tournaments. $3-4 million from a 3 big wins may just be achievable but, again this is one player from hundreds of pros.

More money is made from cash games but I don't think Bloom plays those. It is a rich mans hobby for him it seems as he doesn't play many tournies and is strictly speaking an amateur as his income comes from elsewhere. I would imagine his sports betting brought much more reward than his poker.

Cheers. I thought i read something about the winnings for this game would be $90000 so im presuming that this is an early round? Sorry if im asking what seems completely obvious.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Yep, just for winning this 'heat'.

We need this hand again!

It makes me laugh when people say that Bloom won his money from gambling/poker. He must have the biggest career winnings ever!
