I guess he took one more bad beat than any man could stand.... Yesterday I flopped the nut str8 with my sooooted slick and had a str8 flush redraw. Turn rag gave me the nut flush and river PAIRED the turn card. I lost to running quads (1223 or so to 1 against) where with 3 cards flopping in the "zone" my oponent called a stiff bet pre-f and an allin on the flop with small pockets.... Poker can break anyone's spirit. In any event - I watched him play a few heads-up matches and a final table.... He was said to be among the best. As I am nearly his age it reminds me I should get out more. RIP.... |

they can only tell me another bad beat story if they've compared it to whatever they think is their best bad beat story and the new one tops it. Having been a card player for more than 46 years (and you STILL play so badly Henry?) when a hand is over it's over. End of story. Paying 500+ places? 4500+ entrants - you musta been online? I played over 15,000 tournaments online over 7 years. I dind't really make any good money but didn't lose any either. Playing poker is fun but OH so frustrating. The degree of success for the player bringing countless skills to the table over a donkey is never in proportion. The luck factor in NL is is even more stilted. That's why I like limit. In limit the bad player must continue to beat you. Sorry for the transgression - especially on a thread relating to a loss - but it IS a bit OT and not posted by a relative. Maybe my bad but you can see it didn't stop me from posting when I could have just deleted it.... Just gearing up for my day at the tables tomorrow as I don't play online anymore. 100.00 max buy-in for the 2/5 NL game. Florida poker sucks........... |

In Florida they have a maximum game 5/10 nl with 100 buyin. Talk about showdown... 30$ to see the flop and whatever the big stack has to chase with or a 95. bet from any # people looking for an immediate double-up to make a stack..... There's an expression as well "to be a Florida Player" - bet with wild abandon and don't even look at your cards until the river "-) |

we could get together for a pre-war 10/20 or 20/40 limit hold 'em game or sumptin...... I know JC is a playah (saw him at the Trump and it seems that many here may be.... Just think no rake and a bunch of chasers like myself! I think it was Cleveland at one National where they had a phone # to hook you up with the local game. I found out at the end of the show so it was too late - but that's all I would have needed - some home game in a farmhouse with strangers and far from home. Too funny. I still have it somewhere. I know nothing of who Chip was as a person. Your job is only what you do and not who you are. While poker still gets a bad name (sometimes deservedly) - if you're good at it and in control - I think it's similar to being good at any endeavor - respect is due.... |

me in.... Sort of like a quarter/half home game where you go into the kitchen and yell out I'm in for all raises - but we'll play a green chip game? I'll be available to buy your 19th century cards as well to help fund play. |

When Chip was young, he played poker to buy baseball cards. Not sure if they were for vintage cards, Leon. =) |

Paul, the classic (and I saw it again this weekend) is two players in with pocket AA and one of them wins with a flush. |

There is some good stuff on Chip(and a bunch of the other "Big Game" players) in the book "The Professor, The Banker and the Suicide King". |
