I would think that only readers who care about Moneymaker would have clicked on the post to begin with. Why did you read this post?

This post was more interesting than spam. Lots of people have an interest in how the former champ is doing. Especially a hand that puts him out of a tournament.

If someone wants to go to the trouble of looking up my hole cards thats fine. They can see I muck cheese in early position. Normally I would have gone all in bluffing, but the thought of a world champ next to act made me nervous.

I think you are just trying to brag about playing with a "world champ". Too bad it was an FPP tourney and not something meaningful [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] Either that or you are in a contest to see how much you can say "world champ" in one thread.

World Champ, World Champ, World Champ, World Champ, World Champ, World Champ, World Champ! There now you lose that too!

VeryTnA · #5 07-17-2004, 05:00 PM

I've played with him before. Its no big deal he is there all the time. I've never seen him knocked out. That was kinda interesting.

And no, I'm not going to top you saying WC. I'll let you keep that honor.

Note to self: Some people are cranky today.

Because it has no bearing on the play of the hand. Furthermore, if you look up the hand his cards will not be shown, really, you should know that by now.

Having a disagreement is fine, but do you ever think that maybe you're disagreeing just to be disagreeable?

Tough break, or bad play? This forum is full of "amateurs" who wouldn't make these kind of mistakes. Level II, early position, and he opens up with a min-raise?? This is never a good play! The only benefit to this play, I GUESS, is that if someone comes back at you really big, you can lay the hand down and only lose 60 chips. So what does he do?? RE-raises all-in and puts his whole stack on the line with JJ?? That is just a terrible play! The only "tough break" he took here was that someone was watching and posted it on a public forum so we can all ridicule him.

it was only a satellite, and thus strategy is a little different.

i'm not a big fan of the play, but it's not horrible.

For those of you who were flaming me....You clicked on a post to read about Moneymaker when you really have no interest in anything about him.
I busted out 17th and do NOT get a seat in the big one.
I hope this makes you happy and gives some type of satisfation. After all I posted something you don't care about. Good Luck, and keep up the worthless spam about whatever site you are hawking this week. I now return you to your regular spam.....
