Hey Pokah, I think you may find this book to be somewhat useful in your poker journey:

I like the part that talks about aiming small and focusing on being best at one thing before moving onto another.

No its not for ****s and giggles man! I settled in my life before. I'm aiming for the stars now. I really think I can make it. If I miss that star then I will land somewhere in the middle.

I tell people I meet in the hood I'm an aspiring poker pro. I say "its like trying to be a platinum rapper". Nothing is guaranteed, if you don't have the passion and faith in yourself its impossible, but ima die trying.

He knew when I shoved that I had a set or two pair lol, so he decided to just get it in instead of.... folding the nuts I guess.

I knew you had KK preflop and that I 'd stack you if it came KQ9.

Lol. I remember screaming that in to TT* in the B&M forum from 2006-8 durin endless threads about 'the future of poker.'

Along the same line and as far as I know, time charges have never beaten pot rake HU in the same market for the same stakes. In both Detroit and CT, a casino dropped their time charge in the face of raked competition.

Oh I just brought a stack of play chips from home to shuffle while my opponent was staring me down.

Ill pass, I don't like that idea. I like setting goals, you have short term goals(6months to a year) medium length goals(3-5 years) and long term goals(where you see yourself in 6-10 years. I forgot what book I read on it but the emphasis is to dream big and set small attainable goals along the way.

Enough about me, 10 left in the one drop. Phil Hellmuth will make the final table. I love that dude man best tournament player ever. All he has to do is fold his way to the final 9. Biggest bubble in poker history is bout to pop.

This is one of the biggest bullcrap in life, and of course it's just my opinion.

Think baseball. If you're some skinny ass 150lb kid, aiming for the fence is likely ending up as a flyball out, not a single, double, and definitely not a triple.

Instead, you should try to be the player with the highest OBP and make yourself useful.

Anyhow, I think I am done for the day, and maybe for a long time with you, Pokah.

Good night.

I'm not saying your wrong man. Its just what I want to do. Some of the guys who have luck boxed they way to the top are terrible all around. From a mental makeup to addicted to drugs and just dumb ass ****. If those guys can make it, I know I will. But thanks for your talking dude. I know you only mean the best. I'm just not hearing you right now.

Considering the large buy in, the payout structure for this tournament is outrageously bad.

1.1 million for 9th? **** that.

You don't even make double the buy in until 4th place.

11.11% of the prize pool goes to the One Drop charity, also a lot of the wealthy players are donating a % or all of their winnings.

Didn't look hard didja? I hate to enable laziness (it's on the front page of WSOP.com) but the final tablers are:

Antonio Esfandiari: 39.925M
Sam Trickett: 37M
Guy Laliberte: 21.7M
Brian Rast: 11.35M
Phil Hellmuth: 10.925M
David Einhorn: 8.375M
Richard Yong: 7.475M
Bobby Baldwin: 7.15M

Mike Sexton finished ITM in 9th for ~$1.1M back. Ilya Bulychev got the honor of being the the biggest bubble boy in poker history, out in 10th.

I believe they'll start the FT at 150k/300k/(50k) so your shortest stack is ~23bb while Antonio has ~133bb.

I see it now. Looks like a water drop. That thing is out of control.
