Heh, when Jarred busted me, I was the one with Q9s.

pretty sure you can get a ferry or jet boat from the bottom of Toronga Zoo, I'm not sure they have tassie devils last time I was there was like 6 yrs ago though.

Wildfire is awesome I had my 21st there early in the year.

Kinglseys is fantastic, best steak I have ever had. Would recommend highly,

Opera bar is expensive and the people aren't the greatest, tbh , it's best on a friday night, I would advise to hit up the Australian or Epoque on Carrington for good drinking.

I would also advise going for a walk though the botanical gardens.

Just came across this thread and got the good news!!

Jarred you are so ****ing sick!!

Well DOne!

well played jarred.

anyone play with the eventual champ (aaron benton) thoughts?

He's better at poka than he is at getting along with people (BB)

I did see him on Main Event Day 1, very confident and thinking he was Elvis. And i think he was playing a sat for the event, not sure if that's how he got in or he had already tied up the seat.

I know Aaron a little .. he is a nice guy, and will be the first to tell you he has been running pretty well - but good luck to him.

He has satellited into every one of the APPT events this season on Stars, and he also got 2nd in the FTOPs Main Event earlier this year (not the most recent one, the one before).

Been a heck of a year for a guy who 12-18 months ago was playing poker down at the pub with his mates.

Grats Aaron.

Ok, i respect ur opinion so he must be a good guy. Plus my line about getting along with ppl was in reference to being booted from the BB House , not his personality.

Well done Aaron, my sons name is Aaron so must be a good guy..lol...

i played with him maybe 2 levels before he busted me on a flip. he was solid. got creative once and put me to a tough decision, but thats easier to do when you have chips.

he was in for his tournament life with like 30 to go, he limps behind with T 8 flop 297 someone bets, he calls, turn 7x, bet again, he raises half stack and calls shove, bettor shows 22 for the boat, dude thinks he drawing dead but then we let him know about his outs, river he spikes the 6 sick life

we are going to kingsley's steakhouse, prob get the around 10pm if anyone wants to join. Im wearing black and seth is wearing a shirt with red and blue splotches on it and he's ridiculously good looking

Sorry to burst your bubble, but tassie devils are extinct. Go see the elephants instead, you can always have fun with elephants.

I'm pretty confident that tassie devils are not extinct.

Tasmanian Lions are - the last one died in 1928 or 1930 or something in Hobart Zoo.

Try Tasmanian Tigers, not lions. And the Tasmanian Devils are alive and doing well.

this. that's what i get for posting at 3am.

Played with him for almost the entire first 2 days except for maybe an hour or 2, somehow I'd always get switched to a new table and he'd show up a level or 2 later. I had position on him twice and once he had it on me. I ran a lot better vs. him out of position tho and he was tilting b/c I showed him a bluff once and stuff.

He's OK in my opinion but def made some weird plays. Of my 1st 2 tables he was probably the 2nd best player at them behind the guy who shipped APPT Auckland who seemed to know what he was doing, but the field was super soft to start so it didn't say much. I feel like he plays very exploitable so he's not hard to play vs. once you get an idea of what he's capable of, but I think he's good at exploiting bad players. There were a couple hands that he seemed to have butchered completely but they ended up working out b/c the people he played somehow butchered them worse.

Probs not worth getting into too much since he seemed like a decent guy and an above average player who god-moded it when it counted. I believe just before or in the money he got it all in on the turn of a paired board with an open-ended straight flush draw vs. a made boat and binked for a huge, then cracked As with 3s around the same time to get a bunch of chips deep.

I reeeeeallly wish I had the info that Forrester was such a monkey before I tried to 3-bet him a bunch OOP thinking he was a standard old nit. It seems like he just gave younger players no credit and was getting super out of line in spots where you wouldn't expect a ~60 year old dude to.

y would u 3bet a perceived old nit a bunch?

Clearly cuz I perceived him to fold a bunch.

Oh right, well then they're definitely endangered. I knew it was one or the other.
