 -btw, would you call and American a Yank? Just wondering... EDIT: "This Frenchman who now lives in Korea has a real name (Bertrand, if you care), but everyone knows him as Elky. This guy makes a living playing video games. A good living. Now he's doing pretty well on the poker circuit. Talk about a nice life." lol | ||

Perrault is a murderer. Check that. He's a serial killer. I've seen the victims in the morgue as proof. Victim: Elky Elky held JJ. The Bandit held KT. The Bandit wins. That's where the serial killing began. Victim: Justin Bonomo Perrault raised pre-flop to 7000 (a little more than 3x the BB). Justin Bonomo made it 17,000 to go. Perrault pushed all-in and Bonomo called. The Bandit showed KQo offsuit. Bonomo, who had built his stack back to a respectable level was happy to show pocket kings. Enter: carnage. A queen on the flop and queen on the turn sent Bonomo home. I can't describe the look on his face. Later, I suggested he go get four drinks at once. His eyes, still glazed from the beat, swept the room and settled on nothing. I decided it was an inappropriate time to break out the ever-trite, "That's poker" and let Bonomo wander on. Victim: Noah Boeken It seemed as if no one could stop The Bandit. Just a few hands after nearly doubling up with a set of twos, Noah Boeken raised the pot by 3x the big blind to 9000. The Bandit pushed all in and Boeken almost immeditely called. The Bandit showed a pair of nines. Boeken slammed his pair of tens on the table. Seconds later the dealer laid out the flop. Right in the middle of it sat a nine. Boeken was out and The Bandit stole another players chips. All the other players at the table muttered in unison, "Unbelievable. Unbelievable." I can't count the victims. And I have a hard time counting the Bandit's chips. I've seen so much blood. So much blood... I need to clean my eyes. Let's talk about more pleasant things for a second. Just a second. | ||

if the KT are suited and none of the jacks are in the color that KT are, Elky wins 67.3% of the time. By the way, 66.6% + 33.8% = 100.4% *giggles* | ||

its just sad that such a huge fish can knock out such great players who deserve to double off of this moron. Elky had about 30k in chips and wasnt doing too badly, he got 35th he said, where 27 get payed. | ||

On March 13 2005 05:49 travis wrote: first - suicide ur so full of shit u have no clue what ur talking about Uhm... my exact words were I disagree with Travis for defending pascal becuase Pascal made some pretty stupid plays in my opinion ( although I don't know the facts or how much he had to call cold / his chip stack at the time ) Therefore, how am I full of shit for anything, and or how can you say that with such disrespect =[ What I meant by this was that Those seemed like very stupid plays, let me elaborate incase you didn't understand: If you have to call a raise of 1/4 of your stack with k-10 preflop, that would be a terrible call. That is why I mentioned how I didn't know how much he had to call cold ( if it was something like a fourth of his stack, or just something less which would prompt a call) and why I didn't know how much he had in chips, which are two factors <-- This was meant to be a disclaimer because I don't know the situation and am talking broad. Next my comments about luck, if you played alot of poker, or even watched it, how many players have won back to back since Johnny Chan did it at the WSOP? None. Although this is partly due to the fact that their are sooo many great poker players every year, it is also due to the fact that luck plays a huge role in tournaments. Not just bad beats are lucky, situational luck works, in WSOP2003 Scotty Nyguen gets dealt AA, vs a short stacked guy ( the wsop 2002 winner) who has KK, preflop events lead to an all in, thats just a lucky situation and he benefited a good amount of chips for it. Even broader scope, the last 3 WSOP champions are amatuer as oppose to pro. Raymer got KILLED at the Tournament of Champions becuase he made an an uncountable number of bad calls And how do you even try to doubt that fact that with 2000++ players luck doesn't play a huge roll in the finals, since everyone is good enough to beat anyone in nearly the top 100 or even in a 500 man tourney their are still a huge group of those that are skilled. Please don't assume I don't know anything about poker, and be a little bit more respectful? [EDIT]: I do change my idea of chastizing Travis for defending him, since he definately isn't just a lucky scrub that doesn't deserve to win, but I do think that he had his fair share of luck to win this tournament. | ||

Well obviously.... but i believe in elky's situation it was something like elky having 30k stack and pascal having ~100k? not exactly sure. Dunno, i dont think it's a smart play. I can't remember what elky said, but i believe each of these guys had decent sized stacks, just seems like too much risk for so many chips with such a great prize.

and i said ur full of shit because you said: "but In order to win a poker tournament skill isnt really a factor, I find that skill will only take you to about the top 10% of the field, luck carries you the rest of the way and he had it" which obviously does show you're full of shit since you contradict it in your next post when making the reference to the fact that there have been back to back wins before | ||
