Somewhat more seriously, sounds like the WSOP must have hired some people away from NASCAR to "help" them with their marketing. Honestly, the only poker players I give a rip about (or can have a hope in hell of identifying) are basically those who have a little personality, which might include some who indulge in a bit of profanity.

Just seems a little over the top for this to be something that they identify as a big concern.

Oh, yeah I heard about this, the one where she got 10 minutes for saying the F-bomb, and then trying out all the other curses (we're talking compound phrases here, folks), to see what else is verboten?

SirFozzie · 07-31-2006, 03:42 PM

Yup.. that was the one:

9:30pm... Boring Sunday... at least four members of the media agree that today is a little slow, borderline on boring. Aside from the early Matusow F-bomb the only other story involved Anna Benson who dropped an F-bomb herself and was told that was the only word she could not say at the table. She proceeded to let rip as many curse words as possible to test the rule. She even pitched out the word "cocksucker."

From another board:

A player has just been disqualified from the main event. He was putting chips into his pocket when he was caught by a floorman. The player claimed that he heard it was ok to hide chips in his pocket, but that stuff doesn't fly in the World Series. He has been disqualified, and the floorman went on to say that this was the first DQ of it's kind for the entire WSOP. His chips were confiscated and removed from play.

First Disqualification of the Series

A player has just been disqualified from the main event. He was putting chips into his pocket when he was caught by a floorman. The player claimed that he was told he could transfer his chips in his pocket, but the tournament director explained why it was against the rules at the World Series. If a player takes tournament chips out of sight, they are no longer in play. This is done to prevent chip dumping and counterfeit chips from entering tournament play. The player has been disqualified, and the floorman went on to say that this was the first disqualification of it's kind for this year's WSOP. Last year, a player was also eliminated by carrying his chips in his pocket. His chips were confiscated and removed from play. If a player were to only put some of his chips in his pocket, only those chips would be removed, and he would still be able to continue playing with the remainder of his chips. When players are moved or tables are broken, the tournament directors make sure to give the players chip racks and tell them not to remove the chips from sight. The eye in the sky is always watching.

I believe they have a whole bunch of intern/reporters running around.

Also, in case you didn't know Cardplayer is THE definitive magazine for poker as well. It's a good read if you're interested in the poker community.

Squeeze play gone wrong...

QuikSand · 08-02-2006, 07:59 AM

Observations from the earlier 1K event (following up on items from above)...

-They made the announcement about not putting chips into your pockets at *every* opportunity -- announcing this multiple times before every break. I'm sure they continued doing so in the later events. That was probably just an absent-minded play by someone who wasn't paying close attention, but it's pretty inexcusable.

-The CardPlayer lackeys were swarming like locusts by the time our event got down to the money -- after most big hands, there would be someone buzzing around making a spot chip count and, if needed, getting names of the affected players. After the overnight break (when they got to read the names and counts from every player) the details get even more secure. They seemed to do a good job, as nearly as I could tell.

Perhaps, he is one of those people, who likes to buy things that are on sale for 50% off. My pathetic analysis...

He was the one that re-raised to $20K from $3K, so he's looking to steal the pot or find out who has a really strong hand. Perhaps his table was playing tight, or he had some sort of read on the raiser and the 2 callers.

When seat 9 is all-in and gets called by one player, it is only costing him another $15K to be one of three players to see the flop.

After the flop, he basically got 50% off on the action to see another card. And, he has 8 outs from two different inside straight draws. The best he would have put his opponents on is probably a set. The guy wanted to bet $20K but his poor play made it only $10K to see another card.

So, in summary I don't like his initial $20K reraise. However, the $15K call pre-flop and the $10K call post-flop, seem like very good calls to me. Usually the raises (bets) tend to go up to keep players out of the pot, so seat 1's call with bullets after seat 9 went all in cost him the pot. Seat 1 should have went all in at that point for his last, (edit) $46K to make it a total of $66K pre-flop. Which might have gotten Lane to fold, and won seat 1 the pot.

My thought is the same as Subby, he tried a squeeze play (on two players is pretty risky though). After that, he was getting great pot odds to stay in the hand at each decision.

I read this same thing and WTF was Lane thinking calling 3 raises w/ 45o preflop?!?! Wonder how sick Lane would of been if seat 1 brought out a big bet rather than 10k (or even 20k). and he would have folded.

Odds:

P-Flop
KK 18%
AA 65%
45o 16%

Going to the turn:

KK 4%
AA 70%
45o 25% (he had huge pot odds after the flop to call 10k)

Subby · 08-02-2006, 02:06 PM

He didn't call 3 raises with 54o preflop. He re-raised the EP raiser, then called seat 9's all-in.

His first raise was a squeeze play. When he called the allin, there was (according to CardPlayer) at least 96k in the pot (seat 1: 35k, seat 9: 35k, two 3k callers, his initial 20k). So he is getting 6:1 to make the call (plus he closes the action pf).

On the flop Seat 9 is already allin, so Lane is closing the action. At least 111K in the pot means he is getting odds for sure on the 10K bet. I think the 20K bet, but not sure...

Anyway, aside from an iffy squeeze play and screaming at the cards to not pair, I don't think he did anything wrong.

I totally should have reraised on the flop. He was just so aggressive that I thought I could turn it into a big hand when I should have been happy with what was in the pot. Against any other player at the table and I am reraising that flop for sure but this guy messed me up. BTW, LAGgy play during day 1 is certainly the way to go. The loose aggressive players at both of my tables left the table as the chip leader (for that table).

Thanks for the kind words Todd and Chris. It was kind of a nice feeling to take Phil Gordon's seat after he was knocked out. Besides that screw up on the bust out hand I feel like I was playing well. I had 17K in chips at that point and had some nice reads of the other players. 2nd chance is tomorrow and I am feeling great about that. More of a crap shoot but that is what I do best

Seat 1 calls the all-in

This is THE mistake in the hand. With AA and all this action, you have got to push here. If he did, Lane would have laid down his hand and then Seat 1 would have had AA heads up with alot of dead money in the pot. You can't get a better situation than that in poker. By not pushing, he screwed himself and deserved to get cracked.

Yeah it sounds like he depends a lot on luck. Not saying he isn't about 20x better than me, but I would have to think he'd make the worst ME winner since Varkonyi.

Jas_lov · 08-03-2006, 11:58 AM

So who are the favorites to win it all now? Negreanu(331k), Allen Cunningham(172k), John Gale(170k), Joe Hachem(142k), Ted Forrest(125k), Humberto Brenes(110k), Josh Arieh(82k), Carlos Mortensen(82k), Annie Duke(73k), Chris Ferguson(60k), Freddy Deeb(58k), Layne Flack(25k), Phil Ivey(20k).

Those are the biggest names left. Negreanu obviously has the best chance with the most chips out of the big name pros. He has a favorable table draw for Day 3 with no pros and 2nd in chips at his table is about half of his stack. The bubble will soon be approaching and that's where Negreanu and other pros above can feast on satellite qualifiers who just want to squeak into the money. That being said, I'm a betting man, but I still don't know if I'd bet on any of these pros making the final table, but Negreanu and Cunningham have to be the favorites of them to do it.

Last year it seemed like a lock to have at least 2-3 pros at the final table when Raymer, Ivey, Matusow, Minh Ly were all in the top 25. Raymer ran into Kanter, Ivey ran into the sick human being known as Andrew Black, they didn't really show what happened to Minh, and Matusow made it so anything can happen I guess.

Toddzilla · 08-03-2006, 12:03 PM

Gale has had quite a run lately - if he can keep momentum, I'd wager he's make the final table, too.

And poor Ivey is short-stacked like a mo-fo.

"Just because you pour syrup on it don't make it a pancake."

Barkeep49 · 08-03-2006, 12:08 PM

I'd say it's still way too early to talk about pros at the final table. I mean the chip leader has 500k chips when there are what 10 million chips in play?

SirFozzie Hall Of Famer Join Date: Nov 2000 Location: The State of Insanity	Dola: here it is, the full update from CardPlayer Mon Jul 31 15:37:00 PDT 2006 First Disqualification of the Series A player has just been disqualified from the main event. He was putting chips into his pocket when he was caught by a floorman. The player claimed that he was told he could transfer his chips in his pocket, but the tournament director explained why it was against the rules at the World Series. If a player takes tournament chips out of sight, they are no longer in play. This is done to prevent chip dumping and counterfeit chips from entering tournament play. The player has been disqualified, and the floorman went on to say that this was the first disqualification of it's kind for this year's WSOP. Last year, a player was also eliminated by carrying his chips in his pocket. His chips were confiscated and removed from play. If a player were to only put some of his chips in his pocket, only those chips would be removed, and he would still be able to continue playing with the remainder of his chips. When players are moved or tables are broken, the tournament directors make sure to give the players chip racks and tell them not to remove the chips from sight. The eye in the sky is always watching. __________________ Check out Foz's New Video Game Site, An 8-bit Mind in an 8GB world! http://an8bitmind.com

Subby lolzcat Join Date: Oct 2000 Location: sans pants	Hi Donkey! Andrew Black Crippled Preflop action folds to the player in the small blind, who raises. Andrew Black raises to $17,000 from the big blind, enough to put his opponent all-in. His opponent calls and shows AQ, while Black shows K10 and will need to improve. The board comes A527Q, giving Black's opponent two pair to take down the pot and double up. Black's stack is down to $2,500 after the hand, leaving him crippled. __________________ Superman was flying around and saw Wonder Woman getting a tan in the nude on her balcony.

Ken Jacobs calls, having Nguyen covered. Nguyen flips over QJ for top pair and a flush draw, and Jacobs shows 33 for a set. The turn brings the 4, giving "The Master" his flush, but the river brought the 6, filling up Jacobs' boat and eliminating Nguyen. Jacobs now has $193,000.

larrymcg421 Head Coach Join Date: Oct 2002 Location: Georgia	ThisI hope when I play in the WSOP, someone does something as dumbassed as this: Varkonyi Wins Battle of Blinds Action is folded around to Robert Varkonyi in the small blind, and he limps, the big blind raises to $1,000 and Varkonyi calls. The flop is 654, Varkonyi checks, the big blind bets $2,000, and Varkonyi calls. The turn is the 10, Varkonyi checks, the big blind bets $3,000, and Varkonyi calls. The river is the K, Varkkonyi bets $5,000, the big blind raises to $10,000, Varkonyi then re-raises his last $1,400 all-in, and the big blind folds. Varkonyi now has $33,400. __________________ Top 10 Songs of the Year 1955-Present (1976 Added) Franchise Portfolio Draft Winner Fictional Character Draft Winner Television Family Draft Winner Build Your Own Hollywood Studio Draft Winner

Toddzilla Pro Starter Join Date: Jan 2001 Location: Burke, VA	Someone please explain this hand to me...why is Lane in this hand in the first place? Tue Aug 01 22:25:00 PDT 2006 5-4 Kills Aces and Kings The player in seat 1 raises to $3,000 from early position, and two players call the raise. Jon Lane re-raises to $20,000 from middle position, and seat 9 moves all-in for $35,000 total. Seat 1 calls the all-in, and action is folded to Lane. Lane calls the raise. The flop comes A73. Seat 1 tries to bet $20,000, but only brings out $10,000 first and is cited for a string-bet; Lane makes the call of $10,000. The turn is the 6, seat 1 bets $20,000, Lane moves all-in, and seat 1 calls for his last $21,000. Seat 9 shows KK, seat 1 has AA, and Lane has 54. Lane yells, "Don't pair the board!" and the 2 peels off on the river to secure Lane a huge pot and eliminate two players. Lane is now up to $350,000.

QuikSand lolzcat Join Date: Oct 2000 Location: Annapolis, Md	Observations from the earlier 1K event (following up on items from above)... -They made the announcement about not putting chips into your pockets at every opportunity -- announcing this multiple times before every break. I'm sure they continued doing so in the later events. That was probably just an absent-minded play by someone who wasn't paying close attention, but it's pretty inexcusable. -The CardPlayer lackeys were swarming like locusts by the time our event got down to the money -- after most big hands, there would be someone buzzing around making a spot chip count and, if needed, getting names of the affected players. After the overnight break (when they got to read the names and counts from every player) the details get even more secure. They seemed to do a good job, as nearly as I could tell.

Subby lolzcat Join Date: Oct 2000 Location: sans pants	He didn't call 3 raises with 54o preflop. He re-raised the EP raiser, then called seat 9's all-in. His first raise was a squeeze play. When he called the allin, there was (according to CardPlayer) at least 96k in the pot (seat 1: 35k, seat 9: 35k, two 3k callers, his initial 20k). So he is getting 6:1 to make the call (plus he closes the action pf). On the flop Seat 9 is already allin, so Lane is closing the action. At least 111K in the pot means he is getting odds for sure on the 10K bet. I think the 20K bet, but not sure... Anyway, aside from an iffy squeeze play and screaming at the cards to not pair, I don't think he did anything wrong. __________________ Superman was flying around and saw Wonder Woman getting a tan in the nude on her balcony.

larrymcg421 Head Coach Join Date: Oct 2002 Location: Georgia	Gale Plays Against Pocket Queens...And Knows It One hand after winning a big pot against Rogelio Martinez, John Gale is still stacking his chips when an opponent raises $4,000. Gale calls but his opponent thinks he folded. His opponent turns over the Q and Q. The floor is called and it's ruled the hand will still go on. The flop comes K95 and Gale bets $10,000. His opponent laughs and throws his Queens at Gale's chips. Gale who just bluffed the hand before says, "I had the best of it," just like he did the hand before. And just like the hand before, Gale was bluffing again as he turns over 66. __________________ Top 10 Songs of the Year 1955-Present (1976 Added) Franchise Portfolio Draft Winner Fictional Character Draft Winner Television Family Draft Winner Build Your Own Hollywood Studio Draft Winner

Jas_lov College Starter Join Date: Oct 2000	So who are the favorites to win it all now? Negreanu(331k), Allen Cunningham(172k), John Gale(170k), Joe Hachem(142k), Ted Forrest(125k), Humberto Brenes(110k), Josh Arieh(82k), Carlos Mortensen(82k), Annie Duke(73k), Chris Ferguson(60k), Freddy Deeb(58k), Layne Flack(25k), Phil Ivey(20k). Those are the biggest names left. Negreanu obviously has the best chance with the most chips out of the big name pros. He has a favorable table draw for Day 3 with no pros and 2nd in chips at his table is about half of his stack. The bubble will soon be approaching and that's where Negreanu and other pros above can feast on satellite qualifiers who just want to squeak into the money. That being said, I'm a betting man, but I still don't know if I'd bet on any of these pros making the final table, but Negreanu and Cunningham have to be the favorites of them to do it. Last year it seemed like a lock to have at least 2-3 pros at the final table when Raymer, Ivey, Matusow, Minh Ly were all in the top 25. Raymer ran into Kanter, Ivey ran into the sick human being known as Andrew Black, they didn't really show what happened to Minh, and Matusow made it so anything can happen I guess.

Toddzilla Pro Starter Join Date: Jan 2001 Location: Burke, VA	Gale has had quite a run lately - if he can keep momentum, I'd wager he's make the final table, too. And poor Ivey is short-stacked like a mo-fo. "Just because you pour syrup on it don't make it a pancake." Last edited by Toddzilla : 08-03-2006 at 12:04 PM.

Barkeep49 Coordinator Join Date: Jan 2001 Location: Not too far away	I'd say it's still way too early to talk about pros at the final table. I mean the chip leader has 500k chips when there are what 10 million chips in play?
