Yes and No... Played a $75+$20EF $10k gtd Fri Donkament (yikes @ EF, kinda why I don't play there much anymore). Anyways, I get moved to a new table. I'm in the cut-off and I watch UTG (middle 40's uggo lady) Flat, then flat MP1's $1.5k raise at 100/200 with about $2.5k left. behind her. Flop comes 9
6
3
. She checks, MP1 Bets $2k, she goes all in, he calls with (pretty much what I guessed) A
J
. And she rolls over..... A
3
. Then goes runner clubs.
Easy to go Deep? Yes. Easy to avoid idiots who cant add? No. Add in the fact the the structure makes almost everything a shove fest after 5 lvls and no real poker can be played since effective stacks are around 8-10BB. Coupled with incompetent floor/tourney staff (John, good guy but he can't count and doesn't know d!ck about good poker floor management) And I just can't see playing most any of their tournaments. Which is why I converted to the Lake. Great management, great service, great management, great dealers, great management, great people/players, great management, great management... oh yeah, did I mention GREAT F**KING MANAGEMENT? It does not get any better than Leo, Sasheen, Billy and everyone else there that make it just the best damn cardroom to play in.
Lake Elsinore Casino (pretty much just a poker room, I don't like calling it a casino)
FT'd there WSOP Event #7 Satty just a few hours ago, but was the first to go out. We chopped giving everyone $225, $450 for the Chip Leader (Madman Jeff), and then we played (they played) it out for the $1500 seat+hotel. Threw Leo and Sas $25 to split as they saw fit, and said my goodbyes. Pissed at myself though since I had Jeff on my right as we were 5 handed with 6-7 BB stacks (Jeff=Madman had about 20BB) blinds $4k/$8k and I mucked my K-10o from the BB w/$47k behind after he raised UTG w/ J
9
, and the CO shoved for $25k w/AQo (<--- printed on his forhead when he shoved) I hated mucking since I knew I was good to break almost even on the side and have a shot at a hefty main, but still I mucked and lied to jeff saying it was KJ. Flop K-10-4. Turn K, river is fuzzy since I blacked out from a white hot flash of rage.....
Long story short. EFF Pechanga's tourneys, play at The Lake!!!
I hope to see some of you on Saturday at 1300hrs for The Lake's ME Satty.
Great Management...
