Danny Playing in the Big game!
 

i hope he writes more about this type of stuff in his blog from now on [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

very interesting about a player losing 1mill in props in 1.5 hours and BTW who is "tight jim"?

Re: Danny Playing in the Big game!
 

I thought he wasn't supposed to be playing anywhere but the Wynn. You're fired Danny.

Re: Danny Playing in the Big game!
 

Finally he talks about playing poker in his blogs. This is one of his best yet.

Well, when the rest of the table saw that Phil was leaving, they stopped the game and begged him to come back. They promised that they would change the game to whatever Phil wanted to play. Personally I didn't care as I wasn't planning on staying, but they were able to eventually coerce Phil back into the game.

Man, what a [censored] idiot. I mean, uh, dude wtf is Phil thinking.

I wasn't aware that he is allowed to do that.

Wouldn't you love to get to point in your life when you come home from a -$127,000 day and it's no big deal?

As the amabassador of the Wynn card room he is required to be there somewhere to around the tune of 210 days give or take a few. There are no other regulations as to where he can play cash games or tournaments. He said this in his blog awhile back. And no I am not going to search for it.

Re: Danny Playing in the Big game!
 

Tight Jim = Jim Misiti(AKA Spyder44)? He lives in Vegas and is not opposed to losing insane amounts of money as evidenced by his losses to FAR on UB a couple of months ago. In his case the "Tight Jim" nickname would definately be sarcastic since he's an action junkie. I could see him losing a bunch on the prop bets too.

Phil [Hellmuth] was mumbling about not being able to get Dom Perrignon at the table and that the plan was to go "clubbin'" later. While it sounded like fun, my plan for the night was to play some poker.

i'm pretty sure this guy plays 25-50 and 50-100 on pokerroom... i've played him heads up and he's siiiiiiiick aggro

Re: Danny Playing in the Big game!
 

"plan was to go "clubbin'" later"

Dom and clubbin? When did Phil Helmuth turn into 50 cent?

But I bet that if it weren't for rhythm, Phil would be the best dancer ever.

Re: Danny Playing in the Big game!
 

And Phil invited Danny along.

Whoopppppeeee!! What a wild evening that would be.

rocks and rings BABY!!!!

Re: Danny Playing in the Big game!
 

someone please explain the prop bets to me (e.g. 7-8-9)

The way I play props (and there are most certainly variations), everybody playing picks 3 cards. I always have 234, another player frequently has KQJ. The three don't need to be consecutive, but these are our cards.

If the flop comes with all my cards (just the flop, not turn or river), I win.

If the flop comes with all his cards, he wins.

If the flop contains a pair, you win $x. If it contains three unique cards, you win $2x. If it contains three of a kind, you win $4x. If it contains a flush, you win $8x. Surely you could vary the amounts for whatever you want.

It's up to the person who wins to note when his prop comes...others aren't going to point it out for you.

We used to play that if you hit the flop and the turn was one of your cards, you'd win the same amount twice. If you hit the flop and turn, and the river was one of your cards, you'd win the same amount three times. However, my buddy stopped this because it was hugely in my favor (that is, people are much more likely to 'take one off' on a 223 flop than on a QQJ flop if they have a hand like 87 or 66. Basically I was nearly freerolling on the later streets.

As it turns out, I still have a slight EV edge over him, but his is easier to 'see'. That is, if we're watching TV or mocking floormen or whatever, if all paint is on the board it will be easy to spot out of the corner of his eye. This isn't as true with 234.

Hope that helps.

Are you saying your EV edge is that there is less likely to be a flop when a 2, 3, 4 is in someone's hand and that there is more likely to be a flop when someone has KQJ in their hand? Or just that you pay more attention than he does?

I read somewhere that a wynn spokesperson said he would play exclusively at the wynn.

You may laugh now, but beware,
for one day you may find yourself,
by yourself,
being clubbed like a seal,
and when you do,
look up.
You will surely look up at,
the G.O.B.

"Debbie Burkhead: Is there any truth to the rumor that Wynn has hired Daniel Negreanu as a poker host?

Deborah Giardina, Wynn Poker Director: Absolutely, Daniel will be our Poker Ambassador. When Daniel plays live action in Las Vegas it will be exclusively in the Wynn Las Vegas Poker Room. Daniel brings us his charisma, knowledge, expertise and his tremendous enthusiasm for the game of poker."

I didn't realize 'exclusive' meant 210 days, give or take a few. Also interesting how Daniel's blog is not on Cardplayer's home page. This after his signing off his last blog taking a swipe at those of us who have commented on his writings being focused on Daniel, Inc and not poker.

Phil has been hanging with Antonio Esfandiari. They have been seen cruising for 'betties.'

I doubt it, just cause the stakes seem too high and the competition too tough. But I could be wrong.

Re: Danny Playing in the Big game!
 

This is definitely wrong.
