Nosebleed Cash Games in Macau thread - Page 78 - Poker News

I have just spent a week at the APT event in Goa at the Casino Royale, the first international ranking tournament that was held in India. You want soft games, go there, without a doubt the softest tournament fields ever, even I managed to luck box a side event. Classic hand I observed sums it up. UTG+1 min raised, small blind 3 bets, UTG+1 4 bets, small blind moves all in, UTG+1 calls. hands = small blind 7 2 off, UTG+1 9 2 off. I asked the UTG+1 why he called, response " I knew he was bluffing". WTF!!

How is that a soft tournament?

Sickest player I've ever heard of.

Somewhat similar to 2005 WSOP Main Event when the money went all-in on the turn with Hachem's 7-3o having flopped a straight.

Agreed with last - I suspect that the best players in the industry are fundamentally unsuited to certain aspects of running a business. 'Prof, Bank, Suicide K' gives some insight into that - not that I claim that book to be definitive on the players it cover or have anything to do with it- but I remember reading it in 2006 or so and thinking why are these guys running a multi-million business.

That said - hopefully it's all getting close to resolution.

Isn't 300/600 HK a bit small for him?

Lets hope it somehow resolves itself.

HiTom,

Could you please give us an update on the games in Macau? Also let us know your thought on the following pic on the Poker King Club facebook showing Ivey entered in a tournament?

Seems like HighstakesDB also posted it as "Phil Ivey also in Macau" in their news and articles section today.

Why would they play $38.50/$77? Why not break it down into some easier to count denominations?

To be exact 600 Hong Kong dollars = 77.0226 U.S. dollars

So they are playing $38.5113/$77.0226, which makes NO sense at all to me. Just imagine all the $0.0001 chips they have to have in play.
