Things better than this site
So while I'm not playing I often spend time just ramblin' around the 'net reading various poker sites and strategies. So if you have time, which you obvioulsy do if you are reading this site, check out some of these others.
The Ultimate Bad Beat Story - not what you think, this story will truly blow your mind.
Video of ZeeJustin winning Sunday 500k Guaranteed - this is worth a download and viewing. It is a video screen capture of the last 50 or so places in the stars 500k tourney, following ZeeJustin, the eventual winner through it. He made some rediculously risky moves to get to the final. Once, he had 77 in the SB, its folded to him and he pops it up to about 5bb's. The BB then moves all in for a huge raise and he pretty much insta calls for all his chips. He wasn't pot committed or anything, he just felt like 77 was good enough to call. BB ends up having AQ and spikes a Q on the flop, but the turn brought a fucking 7 and made him the chip leader. I can't imagine making that call ever, since of course the best case is that they have 2 overcards, in which you are coinflipping for your whole stack. Another strange play by him is when a 10bb stack moves all in before him, he is on the button with about 20bb and reraises all in with KQ. He gets a king and takes out the others 33. Why would you bother with KQ there? Any ace or pair has you beat. Anyways, it is clear that if you want to win a big tourney like this you absolutley have to get lucky. Not only get lucky, but be very willing to put yourself in coinflip situations many times. His aggression and willingness to gamble can only be respected. Surely he busts out of a ton of tournaments playing this style but if it takes down the 500k, hey.
10 Notes to Myself About Poker - written by my favorite blogger, Scurvy over at Sound of a Suckout. Even though this list is about limit poker it is clearly translatable to all forms of poker.
Sit&Go Strategy - written by my new favorite SNG mentor, Poker Nerd. A real solid guide for maximum return on SNG's.
PPT Finds A Home - This is an article detailing the creation of the "Professional Poker Tour", which is something like the PGA for golfers. An invite only tour where events are sponsored, no one pays an entry fee and you have to qualify to get on the tour list. Pretty interesting indeeed. However, the list that they have right now for the tour is much too large. If they are trying to create a PGA for poker they need to limit the entries to the actual stars of poker, not just any joe who won an odd tournament.
