sweetjazz,

I think you are jealous because you've only played with yourself. And I bet you're not good at that either.

interesting story imo.


My first live tournament (of any significance...I had played in 2 other very small live tournaments previously) - Party Poker Millions last March.
I get moved to a table with Chip Jett who plays even wilder than Huck imo.
This is a limit tourney btw.
after he ran over me a couple times I pulled off a similar bluff with JT in the CO on a board of 77AK or something.
Although I didn't show it. but I was kind of proud of my sense of him not having it...and of my sense that he had already read me as a green newbie (which I was) who was playing pretty tight and wouldn't bluff there.

I finished 177th out of 735 to barely make the money.


My next live tourney (except for a small one in between) was the $3k NLHE WSOP event on July 1.
Tom McEvoy in seat 6. I'm in seat 8. Huck Seed in seat 9.

Huck was fun with his dry sense of humor.
but he was a total maniac some of the time and I half-thought he was practically TRYING to lose.
He was always putting the other players on cards even when he wasn't involved in the hand and was quietly sharing his observations with me (the guy in the 10-seat was a foreign guy with head-phones...so Huck couldn't banter with him).

It was extremely interesting to hear Huck's out-loud-thinking, "That guy has to have queens." "That guy's loose...no way he has it. He wouldn't have bet that much."


Couple of times I tried to play in the blinds with Huck...but he was an all-in maniac and I wasn't ready to depart yet and didn't have the cards to really mix it up with him.
Very difficult to play against.


Some other guy that Huck knows comes to the table and sits in the 1 seat.
Syracuse Mike or Syracuse Jim or something I believe is his name (not sure).
I get the distinct impression that those two have mixed it up at the table before.

Syracuse guy and Huck both have decent stacks I believe.
Huck keeps telling him that he's going to pick up a big hand and bust him out of the tourney. Just good-natured ribbing that might not have been taken quite as good-naturedly I guess.



Anyway...those two go at in a hand. Syracuse might be in the BB and Huck on the button.
Not sure.

Pre-flop has some action. Raise and a call...or maybe a re-raise and a call. Not sure.

Flop is something like Q85.
Huck pushes in the rest of his stack (which might have been a little shorter now that I think about it...he was covered I believe).
he's insta-called by Syracuse who has QQ.
huck has 97s.
Syracuse is excited and says something like, "I've finally got you now Huck."
huck says something like, "Wait a minute. Not yet you don't. Just wait for this 6 to come on the turn."
He's all confident about it.

turn: 6

huck hits his straight and Syracuse ghuy is crippled and dejected.
The whole table erupts and can't believe that huck called his turn-card.

huck busted shortly after our table was broken-up. I saw him in the corner chatting with David Williams for quite awhile.
I finished about 170th out of 1010 and was kinda close to making the money.

hmm. ive had a bunch of hands against huck seed a few years ago when he was slumming a lot at commerce playing 20, 30, and 40. one time i had K high and i raised preflop and he was the bb and i bet and he folded after staring at me for like 15 seconds. i just looked at him thinking "man you really are a tool arent you?" im glad i didnt say that though he's like 6'9". plus he acted weird sometimes like he's doing meth or crack or something, and he always had this slimy bunch of poker degenerates hanging on him all the time.

oh one time he was helping some kid who plays really good who i used to play a lot with i think someone said it's his brother and we were playing 15-30 at hollywood park. so huck sits down and plays this kid's short stack and folds for like 6 rounds straight and im pretty sure no one else at the table knows who he is or cares. anyway finally he gets AA and wins a small pot and shows it down at the showdown like he's all brilliant and shiit.

anyway why are we talking about him did he die or something?
