I've translated it just for you.
Sorry for my english. :P
The last month has been a disaster for me. I traveled to Vegas to play 'Poker After Dark - the casg hame'. I have planned to play my A-game in the studio, live and online, and dreamed that my bet with Phil Ivey could make me some money.
Sadly, it didn't go that way.
I've said it many times before: You shouldn't play, if you don't feel like playing your best game, and if you have to listen to one good advice, it has to be the one.
Buuuuuuuut, I've never been good at listening to advices in my life, and this Vegas trip wasn't an exception. It wasn't because 'Poker After Dark' was a disaster, i only lost $30,000, but I didn't feel like playing, and my timing was 'off'.
I could have used the Main Event Final Table to take a break and just watch Phil Ivey play and then go home, but instead i played too many long 7-game sessions on Full Tilt Poker, and the results weren't great.
My WSOP bets:
I've looked the hands through, and the viewers got what they dreamed of. Suck-out, resuck-out etc.
I think, Phil Ivey was satisfied with his play, although he played KK to aggressive in the beginning, but who knows if his KK could win against Cada's TT.
As you may have heard, i have had a bet out against Phil Ivey, where I could get my $20,000 55 doubled if he won.
Earlier this year I made a bet where i could get even money if Phil Ivey didn't won. So I couldn't lose. I also used some in Las Vegas betting with Daniel Negreanu and other.
I had $400,000 out on the players with a lot of chips in an even money must-win bet against Phil Ivey.
If Phil Ivey won, I would lose $400k (but win $1,1m from Phil Ivey), and if one of my picks (the best would be Darvin Moon) won, I would win $400k, and the best with Phil Ivey would end even. Else I would lose.
Ivey has to stay away from meat in a year
I also ended up playing 'High Stakes Poker' in a sick line up against Daniel Negreanu, Phil Ivey, Phil Hellmuth, Antonio Esfandiari, Tom 'durrrr' Dwan, Eli Elazra etc.
Actually, I said no a long time ago, but the producers and Full Tilt Poker called me until i accepted. I actually don't know if I'm allowed to tell the results, but I'll say, that the results didn't make me more happy pokerwise.
We talked a lot about bets on the show: Phil Ivey made a bet against Tom 'durrrr' Dwan. Now Phil Ivey has to stay away from meat in a year.
Zero sex in a year (any kind)
I got offered a $2 mio. ($500k from each person) if I could stay away sex in 365 days. As Antonio said: A no release bet.
Neither fun with girls or the hand would be allowed. That's a challenge you can feel (or wait, no).
We couldn't agree on the conditions (I said, they should give me more $$$), but we'll maybe make the bet later.
By the way, it's an honor bet. You have to trust each other. I don't think you see that in many businesses.
Play good.
