Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Hello everyone, and welcome back to a new episode of
The Poker Go Podcast. My name is Donnie Peters. His
name is Tim Duckworth. That's how my day felt. Okay,
that is how my day felt. Okay, Okay, God, we're
going to talk about my WSOP main event, Day one C.

(00:32):
We're also going to talk about a whole bunch of
other stuff I did not bust. Okay, So I need
to try and spin this around. I'll give you guys podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
And have any gypsy bagged off that reaction to open
the show.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
It's not even that, Like, it's just not even that.
But we'll get we'll get into it all, you know,
I'll talk through some hand histories. Yeah, it's just one
of those one of those nights. I do one of
the things I generally do when I like have a
bad day at poker or I bust or whatever. I
pretty much tilt in the car ride home for like

(01:04):
five or ten minutes, okay, like just not like not
like doing anything tilting, but just like emotionally like I'm
feeling tilt, right, but you know, just get it out whatever.
Not a big deal. You know, by the time I
get home, it's it's gone. Yeah, but you know, you
just I'm human. I have those moments. But the problem
is that I'm not hopping in my car. I'm hopping
on the podcast. So you guys are gonna get a
little bit of the tilt. Okay, so do you This.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
Is how it is.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
I've been chatting with someone about like reactions to baits
or whatever. Hands do you Okay, that's how you get
in with Aces of the Kings, I mean, hits a king.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
How do you react? Like?

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Right, like I feel very like I just have no
reaction an in the moment, yeah, like right, nothing, Yeah, okay,
let's move on. Yeah, okay, good, that's fine. Like inside
your mind, it's just like you mother, it's.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Not even it's it's never against the other person. Really,
it's just it's just it just happens. So it just sucks, right, Like,
it's not It's not like I'm looking at the guy
and being like, oh f you you know, And if
they make a bad play and get lucky, fine, you
know you want them to make bad plays. If they
just get lucky, if it's an Ace's arst King situation,
that's just inevitable. Fine, they just got lucky. I just

(02:12):
get a little bit upset, you know, when it's all done. Yeah,
but I I I've I'm being honest. I know a
lot of people fucking say this. I really don't think
that I tilt while I play. I just I don't know.
I just feel like I can block it out. And
maybe that's like maybe that's like the athlete in me,

(02:35):
you know, like just having played well played soccer my
whole life. Like you screw up on the field, You're
going to screw up, but like you can't stop. Like
the worst times for you to screw up in soccer
were like right before halftime or at the end of
the game, because then you have a long period of time.
And today what was annoying is I lost two or

(02:57):
three big pots the last hand before the break, so
then I had to sit on it. I would almost
rather just like deal the next hand and just be like, Okay,
I gotta focus. I gotta focus on the next hand,
you know, but what you have twenty minutes then to
like let it all over, that's annoying to me. When
you get to the end of the day, that's annoying
to me. I would rather just play because I can
just quickly forget about it because I have to focus
on the next hand. If I don't focus on the

(03:17):
next hand, I'm not putting my best foot forward. And
as Patrick Leonard always says, it's always about just playing
the next hand as best you can. But if there's
no next hand to play, that's frustrating to me. So anyway,
we're going to get into all of that stuff on
this episode. We got a six hundred dollars Poker News
deep stack winner. The ten K eight game championship is

(03:38):
still playing out, So I don't think we're going to
talk about that fully. Maybe we'll touch on it a
little bit, but that's good. That's gonna be one of
those ones that we come back to in the next episode.
What about the eight hundred dollar summer celebration, same thing
there is, that's the.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
Only one that is going on in the corner.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
And then the twenty five hundred dollars and Nolmen hold
and freeze out is all good? Yeah you, And it's
playing down literally singing all day, like singing like he.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
Would just America, the god bless America guy.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
He then he's saying Queen like he's saying like multiple things,
like just belting it out top of his lungs. I
mean he did the entire they play. Okay, hold on,
let me let me get through the stuff and then
I'll talk about the day. I'm like, I'm all over
the place, coming in hot I'm sorry, I know, but
this is how it is. I don't I'm not in
my car. You know, you should have gone for a

(04:29):
drive first. Actually does your even driving?

Speaker 3 (04:31):
My car is stuck here in the back again today.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
No, my wife is gonna get me, got it, but yeah,
and then we'll deal with the car.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
Uh this weekend.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
It's just it's like I'm playing, she's got work, Like,
it's just we don't have time.

Speaker 3 (06:06):

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Before you continue. Just let's make a note of this.
Twelve fifty five am. Oh yeah, technically July fifth, but
if you're looking at us, if you're watching on YouTube
or if I go to come. We are very American today.
You know, obviously, Donnie is I have not stolen the culture.
I bleed green and gold three hundred and sixty four
days a year.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
But today I've eaten all day. Really, I eat red,
white and blue.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Because it is technically still kind of to meet July fourth, Donnie,
fantastic USA kind of started jacket there. We've got the
American hat, I did the USA visor, the USA sunglasses,
and this women's extra large blouse.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
I learned something today. Let me ask you if you
knew this? Did you not?

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Women's shirts and pants the buttons and the flies are
on the other side.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
Yes, I knew that. Do you know why?

Speaker 1 (06:56):
I always just thought because then you know that they're
there are men and women. No.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
I was told that like back in the olden days,
you know, beyond our time, before our time, you know,
women used to get dressed by others, so it was
the same.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
I was like, oh, that's interesting. I'm not a new
fact today, but that makes sense. Anyway.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
We are celebrating, uh, you know, Independence day here in America,
and the one thing before you get into it, I
just want to say I didn't see many, uh too
many outfits compared to normal norm we see a lot.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
But today I feel like I was I was thinking
this at the table because I was looking around and
I thought the same thing. There were a few deep people,
and I honestly think not to get political on people,
but I feel like when you dress like I'm dressed,
people look at me and they feel like I voted
a certain way.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
Gotta that's see, you're not very scared.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
I'm not scared to admit that I did not vote
that way, but they look at you like you did, right.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
They look at you like, okay, I think if you
wear the more red, remember how I had that read.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
But people were definitely like I was catching. I was
getting a lot of looks.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
But I'm also I mean a women's blouse and short
uh gene shorts. So that's why I'm getting the looks
and the Madlin mustache, all the combo items. But the
reason I want to bring this up because yeah, I
think you're going to talk about music man in the
twenty five hundred freeze out who was wearing like a
kind of like a jumpsuit.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
He's wearing like an American fighting Jesus guy. I've seen
the videos.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
It's an it's some kind of jumpsuit or shorts and
jacket combo, but it is American flag. He was wearing
it yesterday. I want to hear it that you may have
a winner over there.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
He's wearing it yesterday.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
In the freeze out and today building out tunes for Donnie.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
So I get here, we start the main event. They
before we start, they played the national anthem. Already wasting
my f in time, right, I mean, I just I
cannot stand the national anthem.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
Such a giant week whatever many national anthems on YouTube.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
I watched the Christapleton one today about the you know
the super Bowl where he plays the electric guitar.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
Oh, that's that's it.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
And already already people are are looking at me funny
because I'm just on my phone, yea, getting trying to
do stuff.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
Yeah exactly.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
People are looking at me like I'm rude, and of
course I'm dressed like an American flag. Then we start
playing and this guy just starts singing the national anthem
like in like level two of the main event. But
he's like on the other side of the room. In
the twenty five dollars, freeze out. He sings the entire
thing start to finish, to the point where everyone in

(09:25):
the main event then gives the guy a round of
applause like he as chef up.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
We already had the freaking like what are we doing?

Speaker 2 (09:32):
And then he started he sing it during he sang
it off to huh wait, yes, no, that's not At
the before the first card was dealt, we did the
national anthem, and like two hours later he did it
on his own, like in the middle of play, in.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
The middle of all his tournament was going on, and
while the main event was going on, He's just screaming.
And he also at one point was screaming some other song.
And then he was also singing Queen. It's like, dude,
I do, I'll give you the check mark for the Queen.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
I do. I don't care about the queen, but like
we can, I can just can ask what song it ches?
I don't remember. If I heard it, I would know
my top five queen songs.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Shut up, shut up, shut up. Okay, So so this
is how do you want to do this? Do you
want to talk about like about the numbers?

Speaker 3 (10:22):
Let's do you last?

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Okay, let's actually, you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna
flip it on you. I'm gonna flip it on you.
I'm the host today. We're going to bring it back
to the main event. Let's quickly touch on nick A
Mardy winning a six hundred dollars Poconess deep stack.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
Top the field of five thousand six getting so mad,
that's fine. Five thousand, six hundred and sixty seven entrance.
So I'm gonna go really quick.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Twen three hundred, two thousand dollars, ran Cador two hundred
and one K, Nicholas Godard one hundred and forty nine K,
George Dominguez one hundred and twelve K, and Dan Shill
we've talked about the first two days, Chip leading eighty
four K.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
Gave him poker a podcast. How today I said, good
luck again already.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
What's he known as poker Dad Dad Poker? He was
on No Game in the Future. Yeah, like invited by
Poker Stars and he's like za proper something. I'm sorry, Dan, Yeah, sorry,
but I met you at studio. I'm completely butchering whatever
your online name is.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
But we gave we gave him and his friend a
poker podcast.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
Hat I did the full power of saying good luck
hover brings you a win. Make sure where then you
win is Fady goes, I'm already at whoops, my bad.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
But doctor Dad poking, doctor Dad, that's it, Yeah you
go but yeah, Nick Amardi wins out Poconese deep stack,
and now I think we can go into the main.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
Get that out of the way, main event time. All right, cool?
What are the numbers like today? Not good? As I predicted?
As I predicted, not good.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
We have a I'm gonna say I'm confirmed, but semi confirmed.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
Can look at the Yeah, it's confirming, man, it's up
to date.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
Is you can get seen one hundred and seventy eight
entrants today. That takes us to a field size of
three nine six seven now compared to last year same time,
four thousand and seventy four, so we had down quite
a lot.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Five hundred plus players Tomorrow has to be an absolute
freaking shit show, advancing twelve hundred and forty nine.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
That puts us out of field size for Day two
ABC at two six hundred and eighty two. That is
also down about four hundred and sixty so down year
on year for the first three days now that's obviously
taking into account the July fourth holiday.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
So I think we're you know, like on par with stats.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
I think we can kind of interpret this, and what
I'm reading from this is that we may struggle to
hit nine thousand, But like you said, I think I
think we're to be honest, let's be real here, I
think we're bullish on a big Day one D. I
think we're more bullish I am personally on the Day
two being a more opportune time for a lot of
players to jump in. They can skip five days of poker,

(12:48):
they can play Ario events, Venetian events, win events, they
can play this one kN no limit freeze out here,
they can play a lot of events, and as we
were discussing off camera, they can get in sixty as
late as I'm going to potentially get in with fifty bigs.
So that's that's still a lot of big blinds, you know.
You know, it's much easier to play than thrandre big
blind poker. So I think that my early prediction is

(13:12):
a bigger uptick in the day to ABC and the
Day two D registration numbers, and then I think we'll
still you know, beware, we're all thinking, but yeah, right now,
it doesn't look good, but I think we'll get that
that light search.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Should they like not do it on July fourth? I
mean somehow Like obviously obviously if you don't do it
on July fourth, that would involve like kind of shifting
the dates. So like maybe you were to start it
with the week after July fourth, which then pushes the
whole thing a little bit further into July, you know,
or or maybe you do it like somehow where July
fourth is a day off, Like I don't exactly know,

(13:53):
but I'm just saying, like we see the numbers like
drop on July fourth all the time.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Yes, well, firstly, I want to say that if you're
not aware, I know you're an American and you might
not be with this, but there are other countries out
here in the world, you.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
Know that, you know, to America.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
At one point a Spanish media outlet comes over and
they're like, sir, can we interview you?

Speaker 3 (14:12):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (14:13):
I'm like, okay, what's it about? They're like Independence Day.
I was like, okay, so they didn't know who you were.
I didn't know who you were Donny Peter's medium. I
don't expect people to know who I am. But they
so I get up, I'm like, yea, yea sure, let
me play this hand whatever. I do the interview and
the guy's like, you know, so like what's what's the
deal with? Like what makes this stay so special?

Speaker 3 (14:33):
Or whatever? The heck? I don't know. I probably did
a horrible representation of America. What are you doing in
my country? But anyway, Yeah, that was that was funny.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
I would say that, you know, there are a handful
of people that are not American that want to play
on this day. There's obviously a lot of Americans that
did play today, so I think we need to kind
of give that opportunity. But I'm going to say, and
if my dock is correct, I hope it is. In
twenty seventeen, was the loss of the main event started

(15:00):
after July fourth.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
So there was a time.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
Where the main event started after the July fourth holiday.
And I think in a perfect world that would be ideal.
You have July fourth, then you have day one day.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
But I think having you want to line it up
on the weekend days.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
Yeah, well, I mean, you know, we can talk a
lot about where the date should where those days should
actually fall and you know, we I think debate a
lot about when the final table is where we should
be building the event off.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
Well yet no, but but yes, but like I still
think you do need to Like it's almost like an
impossible task to line up the final table but then
also line up the starting flights because I like, you know,
the Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday for that final one.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Okay, can I tell you the greatest, the greatest idea
that has ever come out of Charlie Series's mouth. Oh God,
that is, and I'll tell you what it is. WSP.
If you're listening, Jack Fall, if you're listening, well, you
should get clearance by Charlie. But you can have this
idea by proxy. Seven day one flights, one for every

(16:08):
day of the week, because we don't know your schedule.
You want to play Monday, I want to play Tuesday,
you want to play Saturday. You just figure it out
and guess what you have the day twos on what day?

Speaker 3 (16:20):
Donnie?

Speaker 2 (16:21):
You have the day two's on the Saturday and the Sunday.
So the week prior to that, all those are starting flights. Now,
of course we're not going to get you know, six
thousand players in one of the stunning flights. But maybe
it's only four hundred five hundred, but it gives everyone
a chance.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
I'm not sure how I feel about this. The day's
day one.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
It's the best idea I have ever had, and I
have best ideas every day.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
So that's not your idea.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Yeah, but I've made it public, so it's my idea,
but I claimed it. I think legally I own this idea.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
Now anything else.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
The numbers, you're the you're the host. You told me
you're flipping it. You're your host, and so like, well.

Speaker 3 (17:05):
Next what we do. We're gonna do the top five.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
Stop stop with this nonsense, with so much fun, the
top five, Chim.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
Cownts, let's that's a andre. Let's go with that for now.
Love a Dusky Yep, well done.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
Three hundred ninety two thousand, Ben Wang, Yeah, three hundred
and forty eight thousand, or three hundred and fifty four thousand, sorry,
Braxton done away two thirty four, Calvin Anderson's got to thirty,
John Kites got two h six, James Ops your Boy eight,
Dan Shack one sixty two, Vanessa Selbs one fifty five.
Well it's Tristan Wade one thirteen.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
So yeah, look at that.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Dan Shack today said, if I haven't made it clear,
I'm wearing jaorts that are very short jaws. He said,
nice shorts. I said, you can borrow them for day two.
He goes, I can't fit in them. I got the
stretchy and he goes, maybe, and I gotta be you
have the shavy legs, and he goes, I'm out.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
So you know this, this is fitting on.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
I'm on Poker news dot Com and I'm looking at
the well, you know, they give the end to day
chip gowns. But then there's this hand that was posted.
It seems like right at the end of the night,
Yes Quint with a massive shout out, massive cooler to
end the night, and the hand is Ben Slack and
Josh Quint.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
They get in this hand.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
Slack makes it twelve hundred penty three in dre sixtion
on on the last level, Slack makes it twelve hundred.
Quint three bets to thirty five hundred. Someone else at
the table four bets to ten thy five hundred. Slack
gets out of the way. Quint five bets. It's vermu
Lamata vermu Lamada calls flop comes ten to six deuce

(18:45):
with two hearts. Quint bets he just bets. The other
guy jams. Quinn calls all in. Quint has aces Vermi
Lamada has kings ten six deuce rainbow. Now I bring
this up because yours truly had kings to aces in

(19:05):
level one and folded.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
Pre flop because you're the best. I mean, it was.
It was very.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
Showed the table, so he showed it's the it's the
end of level one. This is the last hand before break.
Let me find the hand in my hand histories. I
am plus one. I look down at two black kings.
We're eight handed. We are playing.

Speaker 3 (19:39):
First level.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
I make it six hundred, so big, we're like a
bazillion big blinds. Deep Hijack calls folds of the big line.
He makes it thirty two hundred. Now it's a little
bit awkward because the guy in between us. So I
elect to for bet, you know, so sometimes I might

(20:00):
just call there. Sometimes I can just four beet, or
I can forbet obviously, yes, but I definitely want to
forbet with that guy in between. So I make a
ten thousand, five hundred. Hijack folds. This guy thinks for
a little while, makes it twenty one thousand, okay, and
he's got like twenty thousand behind, like twenty five thousand behind,

(20:20):
And I'm just like Jesus Lord, here we go. I
mean I took like three or four minutes. We like
went into the break. I folded. He like starts laughing
and shows two red aces. I grabbed my hand, turn
over two black kings and this guy into the monk. Huh.
They weren't exactly in the monk, okay, And I turned

(20:43):
them over, and you know cause I just you know,
I felt like I felt, you know, what I wanted.
I wanted somebody to see it. There was only two
other people at the table because we were into the break.
I just wanted somebody to see it that I could
have some sort of validation that when I tell people
that I actually did this, that like when I'm talking
about it now, like yes, it actually happened. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (21:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
The one guy in the one seat, his name is Jim,
and we talked a bit for the day, but he
he started calling me super Donnie super as. I mean,
you won't get the reference, but super Dave Osborne. Yeah,
because of my outfit.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
I don't get to come on, come on, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
If you I don't know if you would know because
it's an American thing. But anyway, so he was like
he was calling me super Donnie because of that fold.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
So I mean, what did the guy at the ass
say though, That's what I want to know.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
I mean, he just said, like, you know, like he
was like very good fold and whatever, Like he was
kind of like laughing and happy and whatever, like just kind.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
Of he's doubling ninety nine percent of the time. If
he just calls your foe bet, get the get the
ten hot balled, you're just gonna yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
I mean, I don't know, I don't know. Anyway, very
very interesting. So I can say that I folded King's
ass prefol out in the w Speman event.

Speaker 3 (21:55):
I can't believe I did it.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
Last year I six bet punted my fucking stack off
with King Queen off, and this year I'm folding fucking kings.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
You've improved like me. That means I've evolved. Yeah, let's uh, well,
let's let's just wind up back a bit. You got there.
What did you think of your starting table? Was your
first impression overall? You know, once I started like four.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
We start six handed. It's me on one, so there's
five left. Four of them are Japanese, okay, and one
was this older guy Jim. The Asian players like they
are like they're the new the new kids on the block,
like they're taking over. They're everywhere we can think the
Missa and the there is no middle ground for the

(22:37):
Asian players. They are either really good or they are
out of their fucking mind bad. Like there is no
middle ground with these players, like absolutely no, Like they
are all over the place, like it's just it's there's
no like there's no one that's just like kind of
like right down the middle, solid, yeah, like you have
like they're just they're on the extremes. They just are

(22:58):
like and and the ones that are good are really
really really good, like they are like really good, you know,
and then the ones that are crazy are really really
really crazy. So anyway, yeah, that was my thought. So I,
you know, I had to sit down and like feel
him out. I didn't know anyone at the table. I mean,
I wasn't that active early. I wasn't really dealt anything.
You start with sixty K. I think I got up

(23:19):
to like sixty five or something. Like that sixty seven
or whatever before that hand with the kings happened where
I fold, I go into the first break with like
fifty three or fifty four K.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
So it's kind of, you know whatever.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
I'm honestly, I'm feeling pretty pumped up because I just
fold the kings the aces correctly. Like, yeah, wasn't part
of me said like, there, it's likely this guy has aces.
I mean, yes, the other part of me said, I
just I just don't need to. I mean, it's level
one of the main I mean, the guy puts half
his stack in right, it's like on the on the

(23:54):
five beds. So I'm like, you know, he just if
this guy just has like the ace king, I mean whatever.
I mean, I guess badfold, you know whatever. But I
just didn't think that that was possible. So level two,
you know, I'm coming back. I'm feeling like pretty good
overall about things. I end up just like winning a

(24:16):
bunch of pots and I just get like right up
to like eighty five K, like within like a half
an hour. I'm pretty much every pot that I play,
I'm winning. You know, they're all like somewhat sizable. Yeah,
So this this one was interesting, and this is kind
of like how I decided to approach the main event
at least on day one A a little bit more.
And listen, I think a lot of what you do
on day one A a lot of people might look

(24:38):
at you and be like, that's nitty and but I
don't necessarily think that that's entirely wrong, because I just
this tournament is just so much different. So I feel
like you can take these like weirdly more conservative lines
with things. So for example, we're now eight handed, and
a good Portuguese player who sat down, he raises to
eight hundred and level two, so big line's three hundred.

(25:02):
I'm next to act plus two. I just call Ace
King offa. I just I just don't really feel like
there's that much value in like re raising there. You know,
I can just play it post pretty fine obviously. If
someone wants to re raise behind me, I can act accordingly.
So yeah, another player called behind it comes Ace high

(25:22):
a seven four with two spades. I had Ace King
with the King of spades. First player checked the pre
flop raiser, so I was like, okay, I'm just gonna,
you know, start value betting. I bet hijack folded. The
original rais are called. So it's a seven four with
two spades, turns a seven pairs the board. He checks,
I bet again, he calls River Aid of diamonds. He checks,

(25:45):
I bet again, he calls he is Ace Queen. So
you know, good, good hand there kind of also well
played by him that he only lost that much, because
you know he can he can do some betting. I
could maybe raise later on. There was another hand where
shortly after that, where I raised the button with seven
to five of clubs eight handed, the big blind. I

(26:07):
make it eight hundred at three hundred, big blind, the
big blind makes it twenty five hundred. Young Asian kid
believe he was Japanese. Now this kid, I believe to
this point he had already done a couple four bets
and like one time he did a four bet and
the guy jammed on him whatever, he snap folded, like
I mean, he's he seemed like he was just ready

(26:27):
to get after it. I would put him in the
crazy part of the Asian group. So he three bets
of twenty five hundred. I'm like, we're eighty five thousand,
big blinds. Deep I call and it comes seven six
four with two hearts. I have seven five of clubs.
I flop top pair with an open end earth.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
He checks.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Now I'm like, okay, this might be on the more
conservative side of checking, but I think he's checking because
the way that he was playing, I would expect him
to play aggressively post flop, and one of the ways
that you can attack that way on a texture like
this is maybe come with like a check raise and

(27:09):
just try and like lower the spr as much as
possible because we're so deep. So I thought he would
be checking like a lot of like pretty good hands
as well that might check raise me, like I think
he could you know, check raise hearts for example, stuff
like that. So I decided to just check back turns
the six of clubs pairs of the board. He comes
with the lead for twenty five hundred. I call rivers

(27:30):
the three of hearts. He ends up betting five thousand.
I elect to just call hearts.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
Get there.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
Maybe he has six seven for example for a full house,
you know something like that, which I think he's the
type of guy who who would three bet like those
like you know, six seven, five six at times from
the big blind. So anyway, I just call he shows
pocket tens and I so I win that pot, but
you know, again, like that might be kind of seen
as conservative in a lot of spots, but so deep

(27:58):
in the main, I feel like I just don't need
to blow the pot, you know, ridiculously. Then I get
kings again, Conrad, Yeah, exactly. I opened under the gun
with kings. Two red kings were eight handed. Person right

(28:18):
behind me calls the button, which was this old guy Jim,
who at first I was like old man of coffee right,
like he's just he's an older gentleman. He seemed like
he was playing pretty snug. There were a couple of
times when he got he like three bet that younger
Asian kid, the kid four bet like he tanked for
a long long time. So I was like, oh, he
might have like Jackson queens and he feels super uncomfortable here.

(28:40):
So there were some of those spots. So he three
bets me. So I'm like, immediately, I'm like, well, this
is okay whatever. I put the four bet into ten
thoy five hundred. The other guy folds and then Jim
tanks for like three minutes and folds ace jack off,
face up, and I'm like, well, I guess he's not

(29:02):
old man coffee.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
He's old man get after it. He's old man red bull.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
So okay, he was like and he's like afterwards, he's like, yeah,
you know, I figured I just had one over. And
I was like, okay, I mean I was not folding
this one if he would have went, And I was like,
you know, I mean, like, I guess, I'm just I'm
not good enough to fold kinks twice pre I'm just
I'm stopping at one. Okay, I'm stopping at one. So
that hand with the ace jack, and there were a
couple other hands. There were maybe one or two other

(29:29):
hands with that guy Jim. After the ace jackhand, which
which led to this next hand, Hijack opens to eight hundred.
The cutoff calls the cut off is this guy, Jim.
Hijack opens, cut off calls, I'm in the big blind
with Jack's I call becomes Ace Queen eight, Ace Queen
of Diamonds eight of Club's action checks around, turns to

(29:50):
the nine of Clubs. It's now Diamond Diamond Club Club.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
I check.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Hijack checks Jim Betts fifteen hundred. I call other guy
full river is a jack of spades. I make a set.
I check, he bets twenty five hundred, and I'm like,
this guy's three bet nace jack off and like tanking
like he's gonna possibly go with it. I'm like, there's

(30:14):
been some other couple of questionable value bets at times.
So I'm like, Okay, I don't think this is one
of the worst hands. I feel like I call, you know,
so I call. He's got ten nine harts, so he
got there, made it straight. So it's kind of like whatever.
But you know, I after seeing what I saw, I
was like, I don't think I can fold this hand.
So yeah, and there were there were definitely a couple
of other hands where I was like, okay, it's it's

(30:36):
I think that was a fine call at the end
of the day. You know, a couple of times he
did the like you know, he got called in the river.
He's like king Hi, like that sort of stuff. So
I'm like, yeah, I mean whatever, he could probably have
anything there. Oh this hand. So I played this hand
against the Portuguese guy. This is this is the last
hand of level two. Okay, Portuguese guy who's who's a

(31:00):
good solid player. He opens from the cutoff seat to
eight hundred. I call the button with pocket threes. Everyone
else folds. It comes six six five rainbow, he checks,
I bet, he check raises. I bet a thousand, he
check raised to three thousand. I call turn is a four.
He goes very small two thousand. I call where he

(31:21):
was a king. It goes check check. He has queen
four turned a four, so, you know, willing to get
after it on that sort of flop. I don't hate
the way that this hand played out. I think it
seems pretty fine overall. I probably would have obviously folded
to a bet on the river.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
I think. So here's a.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Hand, for example, This one is against that guy Jim.
He opens to a thousand, and then this is level three.
We're playing two hundred four, and he makes it one
thousand from the lowjack. I called the big blind with
ace seven of clubs. It comes eight six four two hearts.
Or sorry, I called button big blind, called my fault.
It comes eight six' four two. Hearts it checks, around

(31:57):
turns the ace of, spades big blind. Checks jim bets one.
THOUSAND i call big blind fold river is another. Eight
he thinks for like a long, time and then he,
checks and THEN i, check and he's Got King jack, off,
so you, know betting the turn With King, JACK i
didn't think he was gonna call worse on the. River
that's WHY i checked. Back so, whatever but again like

(32:19):
he's willing to kind of stab in there at. Times
this hand was against My portuguese. Friend he's in the small.
Blind i'm in the big. Line it folds to. Him he,
calls we're nine handed. Now Melanie wisner joins the table
to my. Left i'm in the big line With jack three.
HEARTS i, check it Comes jack nine seven, rainbow but
with one. Heart he bets four, hundred which is big

(32:40):
line's three. Hundred so he bets four, hundred right is
it once you, no big one's four. Hundred he bets
the minimum four. HUNDRED i call turn. Six it goes
check check the river is an. Ace he over bets four.
THOUSAND i thought about, it AND i, SAID i don't
think it makes sense for him to bet an ace
on the. Flop he had raised twice from the small

(33:04):
blind against my big blind. Before SO i, thought, hands,
like you, know ace jack PROBABLY ace, nine not a.
Seven but, okay WHATEVER i. THOUGHT i thought the ace
JACK ace nine would probably just raise pre flop because
he seemed like a guy that would attack from the small,
blind SO i just. DIDN'T i also thought that like
on that sort of, texture maybe he just checks like

(33:24):
The ace highs of the. World like it just seemed
like a weird to bet, that AND i can call
him position a lot and you're kind of in this
weird no man's lane With ace.

Speaker 3 (33:31):
High SO i thought about it for a.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
WHILE i also thought a hand LIKE i don't know
if he happened to bet like a six seven then
he and then he turns two, pair. OKAY i thought
this might be something like like a ten to nine
type of, hand like has the pair but also has
the blocker to the stray like, Okay SO i called
he has jack nine for two. Pairs SO i lost

(33:54):
that one this, Hand so now this hand is against
the the kid WHO i deemed is like the crazy.
One he was the Younger asian, kid probably the youngest
player at the, table and was certainly getting after it
and getting. Involved he opens from plus two to eleven
hundred and we are now we are now in level,

(34:16):
four by the, way we are now in level, four
and he opens to eleven hundred plus. TWO i call
ace queen off from the big blind with the ace
of hearts in my. Hand it comes ten to seven
seven with two. HEARTS i, check he bets eight. HUNDRED
i call turns a deuce of. HEARTS i, check he
bets eighteen. HUNDRED i call, rivers the king of. CLUBS i.

(34:38):
Check he thinks for like a minute and a, half
AND i was, thinking if he, BETS i might check
rays BECAUSE i can block with this ace of. HEARTS
i can have sevens, here et. Cetera so, anyway he
ends up checking. Back he has King. Queen SO i
get sucked out on against this kid. HERE i, mean it's,
whatever you, know but he's you, know barreling off the

(35:01):
flop and turn ends up getting there on the.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
RIVER i had.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
Aces another time in. Here this was this was a.
Hand this was against our, Guy. JIM i opened plus
two to twelve hundred with ace king. Off the cutoff
calls the button Calls jim's in the big. Blind he
makes it eighty five. HUNDRED i just call both the others.
Fold it comes queen high queen four three rainbow check.

(35:30):
Check i'm in position On. Jim deuce on the. Turn
another rainbow. Card check check, Again river is a. King
he bets sixty five. HUNDRED i elect to just. CALL
i thought this was probably bluffs and like he could
have like, queens you, know he'd like, raising and he's

(35:51):
just like checking to like try and get me to
catch up, Somehow SO i just call his a Shack
off says. High so again he's certainly you, know willing
to willing to bluff this hand With JACK'S i thought was.
Interesting My portuguese friend makes it twelve. HUNDRED i call with.
Jacks the big blind calls it comes eight seven four,

(36:11):
rainbow big, blind and My portuguese friend.

Speaker 3 (36:14):
CHECK i bet fifteen. Hundred big.

Speaker 1 (36:16):
Mindfolds the other guy calls turn is the eight pairs
the top card on the. Board he, CHECKS i bet four.
Thousand he Calls rivers a king and ends up going check.
Check he had ace high ace five of, spades which
so these. HANDS i like these hands because NOW i
know he has a gutter on the, flop, RIGHT i

(36:37):
believe there was also one spade on the. Flop he
had ace five of, spades so he could have turned
some flush straws in addition to having that. Gutter but
then When he also calls on the. Turn the reason
WHY i like these is because it feels like he
shows me. Respect if he's calling with ace, high he
THINKS i can be betting with obviously worse HAD i

(36:58):
Had kings two times, more and the last handle level
was WHEN i had him the second. Time and this
is the big hand that you, know really kind of
messed me. UP i got back down to fifty, five
fifty fifty five something like. THAT i end up getting
it like all the way back up to like eighty,
six just like winning aboutch of. Pots then this hand comes.

(37:27):
Up the Young asian kid makes it twelve hundred from plus.
Two i'm in the big line with Black. KINGS i
make it fifty eight. Hundred he thinks for a little
bit and he calls, AGAIN i have like eighty FIVE.

Speaker 3 (37:39):
K he has like EIGHTY. K it comes four deuce juice.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
RAINBOW i got forty five hundred INTO i think it
was forty five hundred and twelve five.

Speaker 3 (37:48):
Ish he raises to eleven.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
Five so Now i'm, like, okay, MAN i know that
this kid's kind of been, blasting So i'm just gonna
call to keep all bluffs. IN i was like you,
know there is a chance he has aces. Here BUT
i also feel LIKE i think you can flat like
this in position with aces maybe being this, deep he

(38:11):
just wants to, like you, know not just go nuts
pre flop and like get all the.

Speaker 3 (38:15):
MONEY i mean.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
WHATEVER i, mean not that it's bad to get all the,
money and of, course but maybe he doesn't Think i'm
just gonna get all the money in so, anyway, Whatever
BUT i also thought that with his image that he
had so, far he would probably just forbet the, aces
because IF i have a good, HAND i shouldn't give
this guy. Credit he has four, bet he has four
bet folded at least twice, already if not three.

Speaker 3 (38:35):
Times so he, anyway he just calls some, position so he.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
Raises me on the. Flop so Now i'm, like, Okay i'm,
LIKE i think this is. Bluffs maybe he thinks like
tens are good and he's like trying to put pressure
on Ace king to then HOPEFULLY i, call BECAUSE i
don't THINK i would Fold Ace. KING i would, call
and then he can just play it like a check
check on the, turn because IF i end up just

(39:00):
going like bet bet bet With Ace king, somehow then
then maybe he like doesn't feel like he can call,
down SO i don't.

Speaker 3 (39:06):
Know, ALSO i was, like maybe he has a five six.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
Suited if he's got like you, know five six of
diamonds spades or clubs which are on the, flop he's
got the gutter of, course you, know maybe he has
a hand LIKE i don't, KNOW ace four, suited where
it's LIKE ace four, spades which two pair plus a.
Gutter ALTHOUGH i think he would call those. HANDS i
also thought he could have all these like random bluffs
like The jack, ten's the ten, nines like The Queen,

(39:32):
jack's like all that sort of.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
Stuff that's just the.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
BLUFFS i, thought if he has a hand like you,
Know Ace, Queen ace, jack maybe SOME ace ten, suited
he's probably just gonna call me a position if he
wants to. Continue and then there was a part of
me that, said maybe he's getting in there WITH ace two,
suited which is, Tricky yeah, right because Then I'm i'm.
Behind so, anyway SO i just Call turns The queen Of,

(39:57):
spades which brings the second. SPADE i do have The
king Of spades in my. HAND i, check he. Checks i'm, like,
Okay river is The queen Of, diamonds so it Comes Queen.

Speaker 3 (40:08):
QUEEN i thought about.

Speaker 1 (40:11):
BETTING i, said you know WHAT i can Just i'm
just gonna let this kid kind of you, know.

Speaker 3 (40:16):
DONUTS i.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
Check he bets twenty six five, hundred believe that the
pot was thirty four to thirty five. THOUSAND i take
whatever a minute or, so And i'm, LIKE i don't
THINK i can't fold kings to this. KID i JUST
i can't do, It like you, KNOW i call he's
Got Ace, queen so.

Speaker 3 (40:35):
And LIKE i was like.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
THINKING i was, LIKE i was, like the only probably
the only queen THAT i feel like he should have
BECAUSE i Block King queen because the. BLUFFS i thought
Like Queen jack could be some of the, bluffs like
if he has like the ten, nines The jack ten's
because he's raising the Flop like that's WHAT i was,
thinking the. Bluffs BUT i was also, THINKING i, mean

(40:56):
wouldn't he just, like if you're gonna, bluff wouldn't you
maybe just float with those hands and then bluff on
a later. Street SO i don't know, it JUST i
was like AND i was, like why would he Have Ace?
Queen like that doesn't making ANY i don't. Know why
would he be raising the flop with ace. QUEEN i
feel like you would just if you have ace queen,
there you just would call the. FLOP i don't. Know so,

(41:16):
ANYWAY i called the ace queen AND i was, LIKE
i was just annoyed because he beat me in his
hand AND i was just, like but that's this is
the one where LIKE i wish we just played another
hand right. AWAY i had to leave and go to
break AND i was just like frustrated BECAUSE i went
from eighty five down to forty with his hand AND
i was just, like, man come, on like, really like

(41:37):
like the theme of the day is. KINGS i had
the kings THAT i folded pre. FLOP i mean correctly
so to, aces but still it's, like you, know it's
it's like a weird feeling when you do. That i'm
not Sure i've done that, before definitely not in the main,
event but that's also might be weirdly where it's the
easiest to do, it but it's still like it's still

(41:58):
LIKE i had DID i, KING i had kings like
AND i just FOLDED i had, Kings like what AM i?
Doing but THEN i lost with these, here so this,
HAND i THINK i actually screwed.

Speaker 3 (42:08):
UP i made.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
Quads so we get back from the. Break SO i
had that hand WHEN i had, KINGS i was in
the big. Blind we get back from the, break we
play a couple, hands And i'm in the cutoff HERE
i HAVE ace nine of clubs folds to, me it's
three hundred and six. HUNDRED i make it twelve, hundred
just a min. Raise i'm a little bit shorter now still, deep,
yes but shorter, Whatever So i'm fine mis. Raising small

(42:32):
blind calls big blind. Call small blind was An asian.
Kid he knew The portuguese, GUY i believe from like
online and he had a lot of results on his
on the app From Gigi, poker and he was playing very.
Solid he was very. Good he was, aggressive so like selectively.
Aggressive the Other asian, kid the young kid was like wildly.
Aggressive this Other asian kid was a little bit older

(42:53):
and seemed very like selective but like very. Good so,
ANYWAY i. Raise they both call it comes ACE ace
five with two. Diamonds they both. CHECK i bet a,
thousand small bind. Fold big blind calls turn is an.

Speaker 3 (43:06):
ACE i make. Quads he.

Speaker 1 (43:09):
CHECKS i decided just just to bet, small SO i
bet TWO. K he Calls river is a, five so
now it's ace ace, five ace five full house on the.
Board he thinks for like thirty seconds to the point
WHERE i like didn't know if it was on me or,
him and he, checks and THEN i thought about WHAT
i should, do AND i went with an over, bet

(43:31):
AND i THINK i should have bet. TINY i should
have bet like ONE k to induce him to like
spaz out and do something. RIDICULOUS i over bet and
he TOOK i don't, know forty five seconds and then,
Folded SO i THINK i should have bet. Small, yeah
SO i screwed that one, UP i, THINK i, MEAN
i don't know for, sure BUT i think then this

(43:51):
hand happens in the last, level so, yeah let me
just tell the.

Speaker 3 (43:55):
Hand Then i'm gonna just be.

Speaker 1 (43:56):
PISSED i know this is like probably really boring for,
people BUT i also know some people like it and
they always say they want more hand in for, Her
So i'm. Sorry Melanie wisner raises under the gun to fifteen.
Hundred it's three hundred and six. Hundred we're in the last.
Level we're nine. Hnded she makes a fifteen hundred under the.
Gun the cutoff, calls that's my, Buddy. Jim the small blind,
calls that's My portuguese, friend the good. PLAYER i look

(44:17):
down and see red aces in the big. Blind i'm,
like oh, baby AND i got. DOWN i lost a
bunch of pots during this, level like kind of getting dealt,
out kind of just calling some, raises nothing materializing THAT
i can't, continue like just weird. Stuff we're not weird,
stuff just stuff that is basically blocking me from continuing.
Whatever SO i get, ACES i make it so it's

(44:38):
fifty hundred call. CALL i make it seven thousand in
the big blind with thirty, thousand five hundred. Behind she
thinks for a little while and then she, calls. Okay
Then jim. Calls then mister small blind, calls And i'm,
like here we. Go i'm, like, lovely can this just

(44:59):
be the fucking king seven deuce rainbow flop? Police one
time it Comes Queen queen, nine two, clubs one.

Speaker 3 (45:06):
Spade it's, like this is there's no Way i'm, hitting
Like i'm winning this.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
HAND i feel like, right small blind, CHECKS i decide
best course of action is just check somehow some, way
like HOPEFULLY i can just like somehow get the showdown
and this is just. GOOD i, Check melanie, Checks jim,
Checks turn three, clubs, like, oh it just gets, Better.

Speaker 3 (45:32):
LIKE i have two red acesm small blind.

Speaker 1 (45:35):

small blind. Checks i'm, like all, right, Check melanie, Checks jim,
Checks Small blind turns Over King queen For trips and
says somebody has to have a, club, RIGHT i obviously.

Speaker 3 (45:55):
DON'T i don't even beat fucking trip. Queens SO i muck.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
Rolls Over jack's with The jack Of clubs and jimbo
over there's. MUCKs lord knows what he. Had so so
that was a frustrating hand just, because LIKE i, mean
the thing is is LIKE i DON'T i do. THINK
i Think melanie was kind of close to folding. Preflop
she made it kind of a comment, afterwards AND i

(46:21):
do believe. Her she's, LIKE i kind of wanted to
fold pre flop BECAUSE i, said you, KNOW i, said,
well at least you didn't go all in because you
busted me or like kind of. Joking but she's, like
WHAT i wanted to fold AND i do kind of
believe her with the way that she was. Acting but, anyway,
yeah so there's THAT i had aces again in this, Level,
DUDE i had, Aces you're A i am a card wreck.
TODAY i had aces four, times had kings four, times

(46:42):
AND i had jacks. TWICE i believe IN i had
ace king four, times five times four offsuit one suitor
to a.

Speaker 3 (46:49):
SPACE i get. Aces.

Speaker 1 (46:51):
Here My portuguese friend raises under the. GUN i three
bet from plus one the two to my. Left the
Good age kid thinks for a, while ask me how
MUCH i, have And i'm, like he's gonna for bet for,
sure because every time he did like, this he for.
Bet he four bets twelve. HUNDRED i make it thirty,

(47:11):
seven he makes it eighty. Five it folds back to.
ME i have like thirty two thousand, total And i'm, like, hmm.

Speaker 3 (47:21):
MAYBE i could just. FLAT i could also RAISE i
DID i made it fifteen and he.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
Folded so, anyway, wit you made it thirty seven thirty,
seven he made it eighty. FIVE i made it fifteen.

Speaker 3 (47:35):
Four, Well i've been like a like a literal.

Speaker 1 (47:37):
CLICKBACK i mean that's like Twelve, OH i MEAN i
THINK i could have just like. FLATTED i THINK i
could have IF i was in position somehow in this
this world of this, HAND i probably just flat and.

Speaker 3 (47:51):
PLAY i don't. KNOW i Sometimes i'm just LIKE i
don't need to like get to get too.

Speaker 1 (47:54):
CUTE i have ass IT'S i don't think there's any
necessarily a problem with just you, know raising again and
trying to get the money and. Whatever then the second
to last hand of the, night WHICH i don't know
about this one, MAN i don't know. IT i Have
Ace King, SHOCKER i have another good hand folds to
me on the. BUTTON i have The ace Of, Diamonds

(48:15):
king Of. Clubs second to last hand of the, NIGHT
i make a twelve hundred big blind the Good asian,
kid he calls it Comes Ace jack eight with two,
Clubs ace Of clubs and the eight Of. CLUBS i
have The king Of clubs in my, hand he. CHECKS
i bet one. Thousand he, calls turns the nine of.
Hearts he leads fifteen.

Speaker 3 (48:37):
Hundred what do you? Do probably?

Speaker 1 (48:42):
CALL i went with, Call, yeah the river is the
four of, Clubs SO i MEAN i have The King
clubs in my. Hand and he comes with a fairly
big bet seventy five, hundred thought about all, options AND
i honestly, folded and, Yeah i'm just frustrated BECAUSE i

(49:06):
don't know IF i did the right. THING i, MEAN
i thought about like jamming and leveraging the fact THAT
i have The king clubs in my, hand BUT i
just got gun, shy and, yeah So i'm not happy
with this, hand with the way that it finished. OUT
i thought that he probably just has like some sort
of two, pair like a jack nine and eight nine

(49:28):
something like. That so, Yeah i'm just Not i'm not
necessarily happy with that last. Hand, OVERALL i had aces four,
TIMES i had kings four. TIMES i bag thirty five eight.
Hundred SO i just f and suck And i'm pissed
off at myself because it's just. Unbelievable, YEAH i understand,
that but Like i'm just frustrated, That like you, Know

(49:49):
i'm just frustrated, because like you we joke all the,
time LIKE i just want aces all. DAY i mean
pretty much had aces all fucking day and nothing. Happened
LIKE i, MEAN i obviously lost the good, side the
one with that WHEN i had the red aces and
whatever the four way, POT i obviously had to fold
the kings the one TIME i lost the kings in
that huge pot the other, time so, like you, know
this is, again this is the, tilts me getting the tilt.

(50:11):
Out you, Know i'm gonna Get i'm gonna get. Home you,
Know i'm gonna let my dogs. Out they're gonna cheer me.

Speaker 3 (50:18):
Up you. Know i'm.

Speaker 1 (50:19):
Shore my daughter is probably in my bed like she
is every, night but you, know and everything will be,
fine And i'll be, like you know, what what's the
big blind gonna be eight, hundred SO i have forty
fifty big lines. Apes, yeah SO i mean it's a.
Lot So i'm, fine like it's it's, fine BUT i
am still annoyed. That like you in a way you
kind of dream, about you, know just give me aces

(50:41):
and kings all. DAY i had aces and kings all fucking.
DAY i had them eight times. TOTAL i had jacks.
TWICE i had ace king five. Times AND i have
JUST i feel LIKE i should have three hundred, thousand you,
Know LIKE i feel LIKE i should have three hundred.
Thousand So i'm Just i'm just frustrated with. It, YEAH
i like it's also one of those days WHERE i

(51:04):
don't and and these days go both. WAYS i don't know,
Now Like I'M i can obviously review the, stuff AND i.
DO i wrote down every single hand THAT i, played
and as you guys, know BECAUSE i just went over
a lot of them with the. Handustries BUT I i don't.
KNOW i feel LIKE i feel LIKE i had to play.
BAD i don't exactly know IF i, did BUT i

(51:24):
also feel LIKE i had to because how DO i
get that any good cards at a table when people
are fairly, aggressive AND i don't now the one time
when the guy had These queen AND i had The,
kings it was a bad run out and he got
lucky on me and that was the biggest.

Speaker 3 (51:37):
Part it was a NINETY k.

Speaker 1 (51:38):
Pot so, like if that goes my, way then it's
an entirely different story of the. Day so, YES i got.
Unlucky but like also it's like SHOULD i fold that?
RIVER i, mean it's just. Yeah SO i just don't.
Know and WHEN i say, that this this thing goes both.
Ways because you can, play you can LIKE i, could
let's SAY i finished with three HUNDRED. K i could

(52:00):
THINK i played incredible AND i could have played a complete,
dolt you, Know, like but you think you play. Amazing so, like,
now MAYBE i didn't play bad AND i just ran,
shitty But i'm thinking THAT i played, bad, Right SO
i JUST i need to review. IT i need to
just go through. It i'm just in my feelings right
now about the whole effing, thing because it was just
a very frustrating. Day at the end of the, Day

(52:21):
i'm human and it's just annoying to. Me i'll get
over it in an hour and That's i'll move on
with my. Life but, Yeah i'll be. Back i'll be
ready to go for day. TWO i got plenty of
chips to work, with you. KNOW i just, thought how
CAN i be such a card wreck and have thirty
five K, NOW i will Say i'm amped up THAT
i folded The king's d aces pre AND i like

(52:42):
that was.

Speaker 3 (52:42):
CORRECT i was. Right the guy showed.

Speaker 1 (52:44):
Amazing, okay, fine like you, know BUT i JUST i
kind of just wish THAT i was rewarded for making
that good, fold you, know in a weird fucking, way you,
know but nothing is deserved in this, life so the
hell with it. Anyway, anyway, thoughts, PLEASE i need to
stop talking to talk.

Speaker 2 (53:05):
PLEASE i, mean LIKE i, said you made it. THROUGH
i think you have to just focus on the next.
DAY i can't really think about the seventeen million pocket
aces you were dealt result half a starting stack because
plenty of people on the rail that you, know SO
i don't KNOW i think of. IT i think it

(53:25):
put away differently, now so you, Know, okay on to
the next one on the next day and just take
it as they take, it as it's dealt to. You but,
yeah kind of just some some of those hands just
kind of shitty runouts and shitty, spots and you know
you have to just, HEY i got away from it
here or you, know made a good fold, there and
kind of, be you, know mentally prepared for day two

(53:47):
because something're going to get more exhausting as we keep.

Speaker 3 (53:50):
Going we'll.

Speaker 1 (53:58):
See but all, right that was my day in THE
wsp main. EVENT i bagged thirty five eight hundred from
a starting sack of SIXTY. K i think it's the
Lowest i've ever. Bagged day one last, YEAR i, KNOW
i bagged like one hundred and sixty or something and then.

Speaker 3 (54:12):
Gave it all.

Speaker 1 (54:13):
Away the other two, DAYS i THINK i bagged around
starting like fifty or fifty FIVE.

Speaker 3 (54:20):
K or something like.

Speaker 1 (54:20):
That so, anyway if you THINK i played, bad let me,
know talk in the comments. Whatever you, Know i'm not
gonna not be transparent about. Things, yeah and the people
that you see in this fucking, TOURNAMENT i, mean it's
it's just. Outrageous there was there was one. Guy one
guy was at another, table but he had a friend
at my. Table he kept coming over and like you

(54:41):
you could just tell the way that he was, talking
the verbiage that he was. Using there's no way he's
ever winning in. Poker i'm, sorry this just no, Way
like you, know he was like he would like come
over and just like basically.

Speaker 3 (54:58):
Brag about, everything like winning.

Speaker 1 (55:02):
Hands he's like, he's, oh, Yeah i'm just you, KNOW
i JUST i just need to get back, to you,
know playing my, game just like smashing these, people you.
Know like but he's like saying this like, loud it's
like everyone can. Hear SO i just, need you, Know
i'm down a little. BIT i, GO i just gotta
play my. GAME i just gotta, smash you, know like.
Whatever and then he told he told this hand. History
he's he gets all in with he ends up Having

(55:23):
queen eight Against, kings AND i think he flopped two
pair and got his money in and doubled up against.

Speaker 3 (55:29):
The guy with, kings and he ended up making a full.
House but he gets all.

Speaker 1 (55:32):
In he's like yelling from his table and he's all
in to his friend at our, table so he doubles
up with that. Hand he comes over afterwards and his
friend is, like you, KNOW i basically asked him how
the hand played, out and this guy told quite possibly
the worst hand HISTORY i have ever heard in the
history of. Mankind like he's first of, all he said

(55:52):
he called on the. Button he's, LIKE i was the
last one. In, well you're not if you're on the
button because there's the blinds behind, you like so you,
know like that's problem number. One then he, says after
the flop it Comes queen a. Whatever he's LIKE i.
Checked i'm, like well that's also not possible because you're
on the button, Now like so what what exactly is
happening in This i'm like so like Like i'm just,

(56:13):
like you, know it's just like and then his buddy was, like,
yeah but were you all in pre flop or you,
know post, Flop LIKE i was, like oh, NO i
would never go all. In with that pre flop never,
NEVER i, want you, KNOW i WANTED i needed to
what he used a specific, TERM i wanted. TO i
wanted to to smash my two pair And i'm just

(56:35):
like what what like what is going? On so, anyway
so that was. Funny, Jim jim was. Hilarious we started.
Talking he's calling me freaking Super Donnie osborne or whatever
the hell the whole. Time then he at one point
he like he just, Says he's, Like he's, LIKE i

(56:59):
The portuguese guy says something LIKE i get to play
poker In vegas or something like, that And jim, says,
Like jim basically makes a comment that Says I'm i'm.
Nationwide but that's what he, said And i'm just, like
what the what the hell is this guy? Talking he,
Said i'm, nationwide And i'm, like, okay and then he
goes and then he goes to the tune of two

(57:20):
and twenty, million And melanie AND i, like what are
you talking? About and then he goes into this whole
thing how he manages all this, money and like whatever
the fun that he manages twenty? Million, now got? It
We melanie looked him. Up it seems pretty. Legit he
was giving all these stock Tips. Melody melanie was grilling
him for like an, hour like what are your stock?

(57:42):
Tips like he's like talking all this. STOCK i mean
basically it was what you already. Know the first thing
he said was Buy amazon and. Hold he, said just.
Hold he, said just buy the top five and hold. Them,
yeah it doesn't. Matter although he is bearish On, tesla
specifically banging right. Now, yeah but he, said he, says

(58:02):
it's so, inflated.

Speaker 3 (58:03):
It's like not even. FUNNY i didn't have much.

Speaker 1 (58:07):
Intestine but he was also saying like he's like listen
because Because melody was like, yeah but LIKE i want
something right. NOW i want something right, now and the
guy was, like, Listen falk's on About ryan. Now he,
said the best the people all the, money the people
of the money THAT i. Manage the ones that do
the best are the ones THAT i talked to once
or twice a year because they just put their money
