Cashing, big promos, WSOP and charity – what a busy week!
Wednesday, February 4, 2009 - Scott Ian
Hello my friends how are ya? I apologize for the late blog, I’m still spinning from a combination of the Superbowl on Sunday and coming in 14th in the 200K. Thank god for Tivo as it seemed like every time there was a great play and the whole room would erupt in cheers I was involved in a hand and I’d miss it!! And then as I got deep into the tourney and would announce that I had AA or that I was shoving, the game would get paused and everyone would watch the poker tourney. Thankfully there was a lot to cheer about until I finally busted with 14 left.
Here’s the hand: Blinds 5K-10K, 1K ante’s. Middle position guy shoves with around 16K, SB shoves with 62K and I shove my 60K stack with 66. Middle position guy could have anything and I knew SB had to have something but I’d seen him play 89s and hands like that so I thought my pair was a race if not good. Long story short, SB had 88 and I was done. I guess I could’ve waited one more round but then I’d have 47K left. I had a lot of fun playing and didn’t suck out on anyone.
I’m feeling really good about my game right now. I’ve been consistently cashing in the $100 and $200 Sit & Go’s and going deep in MTT (I bubbled the 5K Sniper today, fucking BOO!!). I’m hoping it carries over live and allows me to do well in the LAPC this month.
I have something in the works for the site next month that I think you all are going to love. I can’t let the cat out of the bag yet until everything is confirmed but I can tell you it’s going to be something that you can’t do on any other site. It’s going to be available to all levels of player and it’s going to ROCK!!! Stay tuned……..
I read about the WSOP removing the rebuy events from the 2009 schedule and then I read what a lot of the pro’s had to say about it. It’s not going to affect me personally because I wasn’t planning on playing any rebuy events but in my humble opinion (if you care!!) I think it’s a good move. The rebuy events definitely give an edge to the pro’s and the high level cash game players or just rich dudes in general. I guess I just feel you shouldn’t be able to “rebuy” a bracelet. OK, start tearing me a new one.
I played in a charity event at the Hard Rock in Vegas last week. It was called POW and it’s all about saving our winters. The field was mostly pro snowboarders and snowboard industry people with a few poker pro’s (saw Todd Brunson) and rock dudes mixed in. It was a lot of fun and I somehow made it down to 25 people with the bad structure and all. At least I was taken out by my buddy John Dolmayan from System Of A Down. I’ll get you next time buddy. My friend Greg from Mudvayne lost his stack set over set (J’s into K’s). It was brutal.
That’s it my friends. See you at the tables.
Cheers,
Scott
