Norcaljew, Puravida86 are paid.

Just wrote a 60 minute update on a a Rio Suites computer and it reset on me. I lost it all. It was good to man. Fukk. Hey, at least they gave me the $20 I paid to write it back, though.

Colossus 10am sold out. Did not play. I am in 7pm flight.

Now onto getting a workout in and I will try to update tomm.

Maybe I should break down and buy a laptop someday.

I am kind of a nit tho..

I will be at Pavilion Black Table 149.

Blackaces, Squidface, and 11t I consider paid even though funds are not in my hands.

Go us.

I am definitely in. Will double check tonight about the PayPal and what happened. Sent you a PM. GL!

K. Scully has paid.

It is definitely not in paypal I asked you to send it to....

Thanks.

If you need to use credit card...

www.giftrocket.com to the email I sent.

Big shooter !

get em big shooter

sorry i have not seen u yet but I gots yer dough and dinner!!!

7.4k.

Break #2.

Called flop and turn w open end straight flush draw against nits overpair and just burnt off 4k. I didn't ship because he had me covered and was just never ever folding.

14k going into Level 9.

Last 7k I have got w air.

All 3bet shoves into light openers and one all in bluff against a competent tourney reg who defended his bb against my 3x open and donked an A high flop. I overbet shipped pot like guy in wolf shirt would when he had AK.

From the WorstEver to the Best Ever, go get em Big Shooter!

Run it up!

Got down to 11bb stack. Shipped 1010. Called by AJ. A on flop. We are out in Level 10.

Dang Lot hoping you were going to run wild in the Colossus.

I also busted ai with 10-10 in Level 7 v. AK gotta win those flips early on when it becomes a shovefest.

Will have two unused $565 bullets as I am only playing tonight's Colossus.

If I felt I will fire one $565 bullet at Planet Hollywood's $500,000 guarantee tomm.

But, planning on making Day Two if we can get a better distribution of cards or win a flip.

Best hands I had yesterday was 1010 twice and AhJh.

Lucky my table was still letting me 2x raise w a 10 -15 big stack. I did this three times when nits were bb w trash cuz table was so nitty no one defended and I was scooping pots w 8bb shoves when tight guys had like 25bb in bb then folding **** face up like A/2 and K/10. Lol. One time I knew just opening A10 2x w 10bb utg was right play not shipping because it had to go through 9 guys. When an overly tight dude shoved on me I folded confidently and sat on my 8bigs waiting for the table aggro to open so I could shove any two into his stack and have him fold. The table aggro had a 20bb stack as well. Like the 4 dudes w 25+ were way too tight and never defended their blinds or raised light. This field is lawlllzzzz if all tables are playing like mine. You probably look at what I wrote and think I crazy. But, you should be confident in this field as long as you have 10-15 bigs going into level 9.

7k

20 minutes left in 150/300 blind level.

All in pre for 18k total pot and our QQ loses to flopped quad tens.

Would have been chip leader at table w one competent and all fish or overly tight TAGs.

Uhhh. Fml.

World Series Of Poker 2015 Update #3

Thursday morning, May 28th, 9am.

Wake up feeling kind of sad and groggy.

I am still hungover from Memorial Day weekend where I partied well into Tuesday afternoon. Despite the ongoing lethargy I manage to $hit, shower, and shave with a quickness that only a dirty hippy could match when he needs to hop the fence to get in free at a festival. Because you know that god damn tree-hugger just spent every last dollar to his name on the drugs. Since that's what it takes to be part of the scene and enjoy the music. Much like him when it comes to getting a job, I am unprepared today. I don't even have time to catch a blowjob the girl I been dating before she takes me to the airport. You all know I waited to the last minute to pack all my $hit for Las Vegas.

Couldn't help it, you know? I ended up at Detroit Electronic Music Festival and three days worth of debauchery ensued. Hope it doesn't offend any of you electronic music scenesters or poseurs that I still call it DEMF. If it was really up to me I'd just call it, Fukking Tech Fest Bro." You know what I'm saying? I mean this years was pretty much a joke with DJ Snoopadelic headlining it anyway, right? All Snoop Dog did was take the stage, scream "Detroooooit" into the mic, and then hit play on his Ipod for a pre-recorded sixty minute set of top forty rap, r&b, and pop hits. I have to admit I was disappointed he didn't even take the time to light a joint on stage. Oh well, at least he proceeded to ask the crowd at one point, "Is anybody smoking on that sticky icky icky icky tonight?" His performance had to be one of the greatest modern day fifty to one hundred thousand dollar heists and I don't think there was enough MDMA that had been smuggled into town that I could have ate to make me enjoy it.

Anyway, I dug down deep and managed to act like I was having great time. Pretty sure by Wednesday morning my brain was still floating on a reservoir of Tito's Vodka. You know I was bro-ing out hard and combining that $hit with Red Bull in order to keep pace with all the youngsters devouring MDMA like it was their minimum wage job. Word on the street was that this year's crown jewel was the Red UPS. Which was none other than 240 milligrams of pure MDMA goodness pressed into a pill. Rumor had it that people were even offering up these pills or trying to suck a DJ's dick to get into all the best parties like Soul Clap, Richie Hawtin, Seth Troxler, or The Dirtybird Ten Year Anniversary.

Thankfully, I was able to go to most of those. But, if I had to do it again all over I'd have just gotten out to sin city earlier because I ended up almost missing my flight. In fact, I had to bust out a brisk jog in my black Adidas flip flops just to board the plane on time. Obviously, I was thirsty by the time I took my seat. So, I quickly asked for a bottled water. As always I was told by the queer flight attendant, "Fukk you. We're Spirit Airlines. That will be $12.00 sir." As always, being gouged like that for H20 really riled me up and I considered dropping a deuce on the lavatory's floor to resurrect "The Legend of The Mad Crapper." However, I decided to settle down and do some brainstorming about the upcoming book I should be putting out sometime in early 2016 for you all to enjoy.

You see, it's been about three years since I came to these forums and although I am a professional poker player, I still really haven't accomplished anything of note when it comes to playing for a living. But, all of you internet warriors are still viewing my threads or stumbling over yourself to click the "Continue Reading" button whenever I post my latest update on Facebook. So, I must not be a complete hack job when it comes to hammering on this keyboard. Therefore, I've decided to finally put the proverbial pen to the paper and put these two thousand pages I have worth of thoughts I have on friends, family, poker, politics, religion, social issues, sex, drugs, music, movies, sports, and pop culture amongst a boatload of degenerate stories to good use before they all go to waste like those Technic turntables I bought fifteen years ago when I wanted to try to be DJ Fukkface.

I've tentatively titled the project "Correspondence" because my ultimate plan is to distribute the book via email in .Pdf format before actual paperback because doing it that way would allow me to intertwine all the hyperlinks you've all grown to love clicking while reading my stories that expose you to lots of cool new authors, musicians, or movies you might not have known about. In addition, I'll be corresponding with a lot of you during the creative process since I've also decided to launch a www.gofundme.com page sometime here in the near future which will allow you to contribute $5.00 all the way up to $100.00 depending on what you feel all the writing I've done for free on these forums has been worth to you over the years.

I have no concrete plans on exactly what will all be included in the book. But, I am thinking something along the lines of a Holden Caulfield grows up to play poker story line with more than enough poker cash game strategy to beat live $1/$2 and $2/$5 No Limit Holdem. I am not shooting for anything that could be commercially marketable or sold by poker book publishing companies as I don't intend to pull any punches when it comes to writing with my own unique style. I'm thinking something along the lines of a book that would go down in poker folklore as perhaps not the best. But, definitely the most unique. Something that could be compared to Prince's "Black Album" if Prince was an author instead of a musician. If you really want to get what I'm saying take the time to find a link to the Prince track "Bob George" and read the lyrics along with it.

Anyway, by the time I am done brainstorming and re-reading some important parts of Johnathon Little's books on Tournament poker I have landed in "Sin City." After I make my way to the baggage claim I end up getting stuck in what has to be the longest line I had ever seen for a taxi. The only thing I would be able to compare it to would be having to wait on a hot summer day at an amusement park to ride the latest and greatest roller coaster they built that year. In fact, the line for the cab was divided up into six aisles where metal chains were connected to steal poles that were placed around five feet from one another over and over instead of just having two long metal bars that run parallel to each other from end to end.

One black guy was sweating so bad from holding his own carry-on bag as well as dragging his smoking hot white wife's two over-sized luggage bags around he decided to start stepping over the six rows of chained aisles with all his belongings to make his way to the front of the line. Obviously, I could tell he planned to wait patiently at the front of the line off to the side while his wife made her way through the line accordingly. But, I am blessed with a Trenton High School education and the rest of America isn't always so smart. On top of that, I think a lot of people (especially cops) still hate nggrs. So, it was no surprise to me when this young black male started to get his ass beat.

Like any fine and noble citizen I was concerned and made my way over to the lynching with two of Las Vegas's finest. But, when the pigs pulled their billy clubs and turned it into another police brutality case I decided there was nothing I could do. Thankfully, everybody was in on the riot because they were really pissed to see this black guy with a white wife that was hotter than their own. So, they were all disoriented like when the dirty hippy takes a rip of ketamine off the back of the toilet in a club then walks out of the bathroom talking about how GMOs are bad for you. All the hoopla surrounding the scene allowed me effectively cut the line, hop in a cab, and make my way to The Rio All Suites Hotel & Casino.

As I was being transported over to The Rio I must admit my mind started to wonder. I began to regret not trying to make a move for the black man's cell phone. His wife was highly attractive. I would say she sort of resembled Paris Hilton minus the hard drug face from over indulging in too many uppers and without the anorexia problem because she actually had really big natural tits that would have been fun to smack around during sex. On top of that, I would bet my bottom dollar she could suck dick better than Paris Hilton as well. I mean common, we've all seen that travesty of a porno and lately I really been on a black with blondes porn kick. Guarantee that dude had some stellar homemade videos on his phone if he is anything like my "Filth Pig" self and I surely missed the opportunity to view them when I left that unguarded iPhone 6 lying on the ground when I hopped into this white 2010 Chevy Malibu with 304,000 miles on it.

I was definitely starting to self loathe until I realized I was being long hauled by the Haitian driver wearing a blue tooth and yelled, "I told you the quickest way to The Rio. Don't try to long haul me you ****. I'm not giving you more than $20." To my surprise he quickly apologized and admitted he should have took Paradise Boulevard. When he dropped me off I decided to still give him a $5.00 tip because I respected his hustle and really couldn't blame him for trying to take advantage of what looked to be a complete moron in American flag pants, wolf shirt, and a blue hat that read, "Because Murrica...That's Why."

After I checked in my room I finally got onto some cash game action and here is every hand I played on Thursday at The Rio's uncapped $2/$5 NLHE poker game.

66 utg2 r$20, 1c, cbet and win (20)

Which means I raise pocket sixes from the under the gun#2 position to $20, get one caller, fire a continuation bet and win $20.

KQ mp2 r $25, 1c, A high flop vs fishy lady, she checks. Bet $35. She makes it $75. Fold. (-60)

Which means I raise King/Queen from middle position #2 to $25, there's one caller, it's an ace high flop, I continuation bet $35, she raises me to $75 and I fold. I lose $60.00.

AK utg2 c r$15 cuz aggro otb, 3 way pot. Flop top pair (+60)

Which means the player under the gun has raised to $15, I call the raise because the guy on the dealer button is aggressive and I am thinking he will look to make a 3bet if a couple others just call the $15 in addition to me. Sadly, he folds. We end up flopping top pair and take the pot down with a bet. We win $60.

QJ otb 4l, r $35, 1c w SS, cbet $45. He calls. Board K K 8. Give up. Unc. (-80)

Which means we have queen/jack on the button, there's 4 limpers, we raise to $35 and get one caller. He is sitting on a short stack of only $200. He checks the K K 8 flop to us and we continuation bet $45. He calls. Then we give up because we feel he has a pocket pair he is never folding. He ends up showing us 1010.

7h5h mp r$20, 4c, give up (-20)

Which means we raise 7 of hearts/5 of hearts from mid position to $20, 4 people end up calling our raise. We give up because we missed the flop and do not think it would be a good idea to try and bluff.

4c2h BB 6L r $45, 1c, A Q 2, cbet $70. He folds (70)

Which means we have a trash hand 4 of spades/2 of hearts in the big blind. 6 people have limped in the pot for $5 by the time it gets to us, we decide we have a tight image at the table and if we raise $45 we believe we can get everyone to fold and steal an easy $30 in dead limped money. One person decides to call our $45 raise and we now must c-bet the A Q 2 flop. Our cbet works and we win $70.

KJ mp1 r$20, 2c, lady otb 3b $135. Fold. (-20)

We raise King/Jack from mid position #1, get 2 callers, lady on the button ends up 3betting us to $135. We quickly fold and lose the original $20 we raised.

Ac9c mp r $20, 2c, cbet $40. (-40)
KQ utg (-300)

In this hand we raise King/Queen to $15 from under the gun because the over aggressive kid on the button has just lost a big pot and is down to around $300 left. There's two callers by the time it gets to him and this time he does make a 3bet at the $45 in money that's out there pre-flop. He makes it $115 which tells me he does not want a call. So, we decide to 4bet to $350 which effectively puts him all in. He calls begrudgingly and ends up winning the pot with Jc10c. Yuck!!! We lose $300 here!!!

55 utg limp (-5)
QQ utg r $20 (5)
55 sb (-5)

Jc6c otb 4l r$30, 2c, cbet win (70)

We make a position play on the button here against four straight forward ABC poker recreational players who we are confident we can outplay post flop if they call. We raise there $5 limp ins to $30 and get two callers. We cbet a raggedy looking flop and win $70.

6s8s mp2 r $20 (5)
J9 otb 3l r$20 (15)
77 hj r$20 (5)
Kh7h bb called $15 open, 5 way (-15)


We decide to switch tables after this hand because there's really no fish at the table and the over aggressive spazzoid that was on the button racked up his chips shortly after he doubled up off us and left the table.


88 mp cr $20 (-20)
77 mp cr $20 (-20)

We sit down and literally the first two hands we play are the set mines above where we call raises looking to flop a set in a 5 or 6 way pot. But, we get no luck. After that it's been at least a hour since we have played a pot.

7s5s hj r $25, 3c, 7d 5d 2 flop. (-500)

So, we decide to open up 7 of spades/5 of spades from the hi-jack position and raise it to $25 to go. We are called in three sports and go four ways to the flop.

7 of diamonds/5 of diamonds/2 of clubs.

It's checked to us and the player to my immediate left had thought about 3betting me pre-flop to $75 when I saw him cut out the chips. But, he elected to just call. So, I was pretty sure he had an overpair to this flop or Ace/King which would give him nothing at all. I was pretty sure if he had an overpair I could get him to call an all in on the turn or river from me so I wanted to start building the pot. I lead out $75. Boy, was I happy when he insta-shipped his $800 stack into a $175 pot and everybody else folded quickly.

Obviously, we called with our two pair.

But, when a jack hit the river it gave him a set of jacks and ended up making us a $500 loser on the hand. Yuck!!! Yuck!!! Yuck!!!

AJ bb cr $20, 4way pot, Jh 8h 8c (-95)

Action got really heavy on the flop with two people going all in and I just really thought one of them had an eight because they were not sophisticated players. I ended up being right. 8/7 suited ended up taking down the pot.

AQ bb I 3bet $15 open from utg to $55, get 4bet to $125 by the sb who just got done calling the $15 a second earlier, decide to 5b shove and lose coin flip to 1010. (-350)

A4 bb limped pot, flop top pair, -(25)

Jc2s sb r$35, flop top, fd out there, cbet $75, spade turn, bet $125 and give up. (-235)
8d9d bb r$40 4l, all fold. (20)

Thought conditions were right to make a play at stealing some more dead money that was limped around and was wrong. I ended up flopping top pair, though on a Js 8s 4s board so I lead out $75 and got called in one spot. The guy who called was a guy capable of limping King/Jack or Ace/Jack. So, when a fourth spade came on the turn I ended up firing another bullet at the pot because I knew he'd fold out if he didn't have any spades or just a weak spade. Guy ended up calling and I gave up.

4h5h otb cr $15 (-15)
AQ mp 2 r $20 (7)

QhJh co 3l r $25, 5c Js 4h 5h, bet flop, ship turn. Guy limps AJ.(-300)

Turns out later I was right that the guy was capable of limping Ace/Jack. He did so when I raise from the cut off to $25 and flopped top pair on a Js 5h 4h board in a 6 way pot. So, I had to bet flop and ship the turn to protect against the flush draw I suspected he was on. I ended up value owning myself here against this guy. Nothing is going write for me.

J10 otb l/f bb raised (-5)
AQ hj 2l r $30 (12)
AJ co 1l r $20, 2c Qc 7c 4 flop, cbet $40 fold to $120 from BB. (-60)

The kid who check/raised me on the flop was really not repping much. I think I could have 4bet shoved back all in and most likely repped an overpair or AQ to get him to fold out whatever one pair hand or air he had. I just was not in the mood to take any more chances when being down around 1.5k.

33 utg limp, 6 way, actually hit set only win $45. (45)
KQ hj r $25, 1l, 1c, cbet and win (30)
A10 utg r $20, all fold. (7)
66 utg l/c $20 (-20)
Q10 otb 3l, r $30, 2c (70)
QQ mp r $20, 1c (20)

88 utg 2 r $20, 4c, 9h 6h 3d flop, lead $65, call (150)

Raised pocket 8's from position under the gun #2 to $20, got 4 callers, 9h 6h 3d flop, lead $65 and get called in one spot. Turn is a 9s and I fire another bullet to take it down.

Then it happens.......

An exotic creature straight from the deep blue sea with a southern drawl walks up to the table and proceeds to buy in for $2,000.00. Much like the old t-shirt most of you now use for a cum rag this man shows "No Fear" and starts opening every pot to $55 no matter what his two hole cards are. Before engaging this sick beast in any pot with a speculative hand I decide to study his habits closer than a hot 19 year old's ass gets studied when she walks into my local Powerhouse gym. Finally, after a hour or so I have this exotics tendencies figured out and it was time to take advantage.

You see he was a complete maniac pre-flop. But, also an overly tight nit post flop when it came to c-betting. In fact, when he completely missed flops he'd say "Nice hand," then check/fold. If he caught a small piece of the board he'd peel one card then give up. If he connected hard he'd continue barreling the flop, turn, and river. I was able to use all this information against him effectively and also pick good spots against other players at the table who were focusing way too much on beating just this one guy. Everybody except one other fish just tightened up and started nut peddling instead of getting into any pots so I was able to start stealing a lot of uncontested $110 to $165 pots on the flop. I ended up pulling myself back to only $600 down when I was stuck around $2,000.

I thought for sure I was going to post my greatest comeback ever in a cash game. But, the time I got to spend with my new exotic friend from Dallas, Texas came to an end when the following hand happened......

Our exotic pal had just finished huffing on a heater and was making his way back to the felt. As he was approaching the table he yelled, "Make it $100. Blind." It folded around to the other fish on the button who was sitting with 3k and he quickly called. Then a nit who had not played a hand in two hours and was sitting with 3.5k in the big blind announced, "Make it $500." Obviously, the exotic who had raised blind and was sitting with 2.5k snap called as did the other fish who was on the button.

So, it was a 1.5k pot when the flop came out.....

9s 5s 2c.

The nit lead out $800 from the bb. The exotic snap shipped all in and was immediately called by the fish otb. After some brief consideration the nit shipped all in as well.

The players were holding the following hands....

Nit: Pocket Aces.
Exotic: King/Nine offsuit.
Fish: Six of Spades/Three of Spades.

Wow, didn't even notice I forgot to post the conclusion of the hand.

A/A held and both the spots decided they no longer wanted to gamboool.

So, I racked up and left.

Booked the $600 loss.

Will post an update with my thoughts on Colossus tomorrow.

As of now I have not fired any of the two unused bullets at any other events.

World Series of Poker 2015 Update #4

Colossus.

Now officially the mother of all live tournaments after it's been confirmed there was well over twenty thousand entries with the final total coming in at 23,374. Which was probably also the number of times nits folded their big blinds with hands like Ax, K10 offsuit, and 109 suited to 2x raises from backpacking veggie burrito eating queers. Had to make a few runs for the bathroom to throw up when I saw just how overly tight the tables were.

I really wasn't so disgusted at the fact most the recreational players were playing like a dripping wet pussy. I was more concerned with how they were letting all you poker goobers get away with bloody murder. You know I am always rooting for the fish to break you because most of you poker scenesters are obsessed with dressing harder than you work on your game off the table and that really soaks my ****ing sock.

It's 2015. You would think some of you have learned by now to conduct yourself like a true professional while on the felt. I am still seeing a lot of you openly berating the novices, over celebrating your suck outs after you couldn't figure out you were beat, and doing way too much talking about advanced poker concepts before and after hands. The only equity you should be talking about is the kind you have built up in your home. Oops. I forgot. Most of you still live with your parent's basement or grind houses where you're so depressed with life your bedroom is littered with piss cups because you usually refuse to leave it.

You know some of you may crush the game of poker. But, a lot of these people coming out to drop $565.00 USD to play with the pros in a World Series of Poker event actually crush life. They have beautiful wives, good jobs, 401ks, kids they are putting through college, and are kind enough to give you their action even though they know most of you toolsheds have an edge on them.

You can call them stupid and belittle them to their face all you want. But, much like Ian Mackeye said on the obscure Pailhead track he made with Ministry, "I will refuse."

When Colossus is over many may remember it as the largest accumulation of poker fish in one place. However, I will remember it as a testament that poker is still one of the greatest games in the entire world. It is a raw combination of skill and guts blended with just enough chance that a recreational player could beat a seasoned pro on any given day. A game so unique you can literally have a CEO, racist, homophobe, cop, queer, nggr, drug dealer, little old lady, and a piece of white trash grinding a $200 stack he got from selling off his food stamps at the same table. **** you if you think it's dying.

Colossus is the good people shouting from rooftops all over the world that interest in the game is still as strong as ever. If The World Series of Poker would pay big name pros to play in more of the lower buy-in events I bet the game could even start to grow even larger. A lot of you don't realize just how excited the average guy gets when he's able to tell a poker story about how he sat by Phil Hellmuth, Greg Raymer, Doyle Brunson, or any other player they've seen frequently on their television. I think all the well known pros who didn't take the time to fire at least one bullet at the biggest tournament of all time made a pretty selfish mistake. Much love to the ones that did. What a great opportunity for those who should be an ambassador of the game to show up and say hello to all the people who have made the game as big as it is today.

I'd be lying if I tried to say I wasn't excited to be donning the American flag pants, sunglasses, wolf shirt, and "Back To Back World War Champions" hat so all you guys who read my threads would have a chance to spot me and say hello. You know on the second day I played I actually debuted a new Hawaiin shirt tourist look I hadn't broke out since the WSOP circuit events in West Palm Beach. But, by some chance a reader recognized me and when our table was getting broke he said said, "Well Lotgrinder, at least I can say I sat with a legend now. I had my wife drive all the way here cross country and was reading all the threads you put out since 2013. Thanks for all the inspiration and incredible stories. I'll be sure to buy your book." Then the rest of the table got all excited like, "Who? Who? Who is this guy?" Had to assure them all I was a loser to calm things down and by the time the guy who liked me tried explaining what I do on forums we were both being looked upon as such. Oh well.

Anyway, I shotgunned two steaming hot bullets that swirled frantically in the air right into the heart of this poker tournament beast known as Colossus in order to try to take the damn thing down. But, left The Rio's conference center this time with my head held high. I played some of my best tournament poker to date.

Here's a recap of the action...

Bullet #1

Was fired on Friday at 7pm. As I said I quickly realized the tables were too tight but wanted to build a credible image of being tight myself so I didn't open much early on. I did a lot of splashing around with speculative hands, though. Mainly because for as tight as people were pre-flop, they were very sticky post flop and I knew if I could make two pair against someone's top pair I could get an easy double up. However, luck would not grant me that opportunity and bullet #1 was a steady grind of well timed raising, 3betting, and 3bet steal shoving light into active openers ranges when we felt they were weak. We were able to keep at an 8bb stack all the way up to near a 20bb stack in level 9. But, when we got our 1010 all in vs AJ for what was going to be around a total of 20bb pot we were greeted with an ace in the window of the flop and got busted out of the tournament.

To put in perspective how tight the field was I literally was still 2x opening/not shoving when I was down to 10bb. The big stacks at my table who were on 25bb+ were so nitty they hardly ever even decided to defend their small or big blinds. At one point in MP2 when nits were in the blinds I really 2x opened 94 sooooooted knowing I could still fold to a shove and be able to scoop lots of uncontested blinds/antes even with 8bb. I am not exaggerating that overly tight TAGS were folding stuff like A2 offsuit saying, "I think you got me beat," when I'd shove from the cut off or button. It was lawllllzzztacular. Which was the reason I decided to fire bullet #2 even though I was going to be coming in on a "late wave" with 25 big blinds.

Bullet #2

Was much the same as Bullet #1 except this time we were sitting with around 20bb in level 9 when we picked up pocket queens in mid position #2. There was a 2x raise from an active opener, a call, and when it got to me I really didn't want to **** around and I just zipped it all in. Sadly, a black man on the button heemed and hawed for some time and decided to call us with pocket 10's. Of course he flopped quads on us and instead of going into level 10 with 40bb we were out of the biggest live tournament in poker history. This was simply not our time to win. But, I feel it's coming. I was very happy with the way I identified my opponents weaknesses and used it against them relentlessly in every level.

In closing I would like to say that I am sorry to hear that some players are scamming their stakers saying they played all four flights and really just played one or two. I definitely did not use all four of my bullets and I have two on hand I will refund with mark-up. In addition I would like to give one big gigantic lawlllllzzzzzzzzz to all the poker goobers complaining about the prize distribution of Colossus. It is way better for the poker community to make sure everybody gets around $1,000.00 who cashed than making sure the winner gets $1,000,000.00. I saw some people trying to say Colossus won't even get ten thousand people next year because the payout structure is wrong.

No. Sorry boys and girls. If you think that way it is you that are wrong.

Colossus was mainly compromised (I'd say 85%+) of recreational players who were just happy to be here so they could tell all their friends, family, co-workers, and golfing buddies that they got to play in a World Series of Poker bracelet event. It is only a small minority of you internet warriors that are all up in arms about the pay structure like you're some broke tattered fukk that just lost rights to his food stamps and can't pawn them off to smoke some weed.

Get over it.

Colossus was nothing but great for poker and The World Series of Poker brand.

Congratulations to all of you that decided to partake in it.

What a great day for poker.
