It was nice to put faces to everyone......I could not get it together personally and to my dismay never got to sit with the imfamous "BLONDEFISH" but I watched him.......and I have deduced that he is a level 4.56734 player who sees a flop 22.45% of the time, who checks the flop 54% of the time, and scratches his nose when he is sitting weak. He loosened up his play when the rain started to fall outside, and it looked loke there was a slight advantage to labeling him as a LAG once the garage dorr was slightly lowered.......
ok jokes aside......i am really appreciative of the effort put forth by our hosts, and I really enjoyed the spirit of the event. The garage was tacky, the tables worse.....but ya see I got a feel for the spirit of the game we were playing, and I felt really welcome and the people whom we call friends on the forum added a nice "real" meaning to it all. I say this cause I am overexposed to Casino, fundraising, and underground poker.......where attention to detail is anal. This was just barebones fun. I had a great time.
Joe.....next time I will donate some real tables for the afternoon...it would be a nice touch, and I always have some in my truck.
as far as level of play Blondefish!!!!
This was some of the tightest poker I have ever seen. Comming from aggressive LAG players atundergrounds.....everyone there knew their shit....and other than maybe Joe and ROB no one really had that aggressive PUSH PUSH stlye going on. I stole many pots as soon as I sensed it. Another observation......WHat a great player Kristy is......she dominated from start to finish, fabulous. Much respect to Steve Kerr who also was quietly a good player as well as Jah.
I cant wait to get another crack at all of you.....especially you BUDDY...

My critical hand at the satellite occurred when a short stack went all-in and my read on him was that he probably had a mid-pair. I called with JJ and was a 80.77% favourite pre-flop and a 95.45% favourite before the river, but he hit one of only two outs on the river.
Sorry that I don't look like the WPT hostess Sabina Gadecki in my avatar to qualify for your stag business, but I'll take you up on your other offer of staking me in limit hold'em. As a licensed dealer, the games I deal the most are $10/$20 limit and $5/$10 limit, and I now understand how math skills in limit poker is such a big advantage. According to poker instructor and author Angel Largay, the weighted importance in $1/$2 No-limit of mathematical/technical skills is 60% versus 40% for "people skills", but in $2/$4 Limit, mathematical/technical skills is much more important at 90%.

This is a bit late - but I haven't had much time to visit the forum this week.
Just wanted to thank Joe and Aimee for hosting this event. Chris and I have been meaning to get out to a "Crown Casino" event for some time now, and I'm really glad we finally did - you guys are excellent hosts.
It was a lot of fun to put some faces to names of people I hadn't met yet. Voodoo - I'll join you in the bad play category - but I had fun, and that's what poker is about for me.
Congrats to the winners. I don't think I've ever played with DoyleWho before...but I've seen Kristy's mad poker skillz first hand....I'm sure she'll kill the satellite, and I'm glad I have a little (ok, very little considering how early I busted out) piece of her action at the WPT.
FRIDAY 640 WPT at FALLSVIEW ..Could of Been Better!
I wish the news was better. I came 8th. I started off well and I was
the Chip Leader for the first 3 to 4 levels. Then I dropped a couple
hands and became short on chips. Antes and Blinds really beat me up
when I went about 11 hands without a face card or suited anything. I went
all in with A 2 suited. 2 callers. Flop K 8 3 rainbow. First to act
goes all in.. I know I'm fucked... the other guy folds ... He flips 8,8
.... I'm Done. On an up note I lasted longer then last years WPT
Niagra Champion .. He finished 10th
Sorry guys finished 6th. I highly suggest playing this tournament though, some of the worst play I've ever seen.
I was completely and painfully card dead in a tournament full of foolishly maniacal players. My fav. hand to watch- three way all in = K5o vs. 78s vs. JJ...(JJ was essentially last man in -he had less than 1bb more than the raise with two committed to call)
I think that if you even approach a reasonable run of cards you win 2nd min.

Good seeing you again Kristy, I think you've seen enough 2 4's and 2 3's to last you a lifetime. Thats the one problem with this tournament in that if you go card dead at the wrong time there aren't enough chips to weather the storm. On a side note... that same idiot old man with the K5 in that hand played in the 2nd 640, I raised to 600 with AQ spades after 2 players limped in at the 50/100 level and he called and then moved allin on me after the flop which was Q 9 3 rainbow. He had J 9 ... the turn was an Ace giving me two pair and he hit his 2 outer when a 9 fell on the river. Its brutal when retards get paidoff on bad play.
Ouch! It is mind boggling to me that-that guy can afford to play those all day. I must admit that I'm hooked, I want to go back and play more. I just cannot get over how bad the players were! (yourself and your friends who went 1-2 were the only exceptions)
Nice to see you, thanks for babysitting me on my first Fallsview trip.
