Sit n Go pro

Posted by Admin

I had been struggling for over a year in the online poker world. I have never been a poker loser but I was also not being much of a winner for the amount of time and effort I was putting in to becoming a great poker player. I was simply plugging along, playing every evening and swallowing up poker theory books like they were candy. I kept blaming the problems on the fact that the other players were not following the rules of poker. Then, I took a break, left poker behind me for a couple of weeks thinking that there must be a better way to make money online…

…then I came back to poker. I kept telling myself; poker can work for you, you’re a smart player, you understand the basic theories, so why aren’t you winning? I started to look at what style of poker was working for me...where was I making money? Certainly not in limit poker, it was too boring, and certainly not in ring games, I got too bored, played things that I shouldn’t, and leaked money. That left tournament poker, and it really was where I had made the most money. That led me to the sit n go style of poker. Now I play sit n goes exclusively and this is why:

-There’s a low risk with a high return. Most sit n goes have a payout structure that includes the top three players. The first place player receives half the pot, the second place player gets thirty percent and the third place player gets twenty percent. In any sit n go there are usually six or seven fish, so making it to the money isn’t that difficult.

-It is possible to play many at once. In the early stages of a sit n go you are simply folding your hands, waiting for a monster, or for the other players to knock each other out, so as long as you stagger the starts of your sit n goes by about ten minutes, you can play numerous tournaments at once, thus increasing your per hour winnings.

-A very smart sit n go player once said that playing sit n goes is like watching the same movie over and over again. What does that mean to the shrewd sit n go player? It means that once you have developed a winning system, it will work over and over and over again. The players’ names may change, but the play seems to stay the same. Now that I have a system developed that works, I am able to make the money more than fifty percent of the time.

-Sit n goes are the easiest place to make money playing online poker. You don’t have to eliminate thousands of players and take hours of work just to make a few dollars in a freeroll, each sit n go takes about an hour and has a return of approximately forty dollars or more. ($40 is the net amount you would add to your bankroll if you win a $10 sit n go)

Now, I am a semi-pro poker player. I play sit n goes and it pays for my kids’ daycare and our extra holidays and luxury items. I play sit n goes and I will have my house paid off by the end of the year. I play sit n goes and I am on my way to financial freedom. I have become a sit and go pro, and you can be one too.

Last hands are always bloody hands… and the ECPT doesn’t break the rule: we saw a lot of bad beats during the last twenty minutes of this day. 58 players will come back tomorrow, so we lost more than half of the field today.

It’s the end of the day: all the survivors have to count their chips, and the dealer at their table check if the count is good. After that, players must write their names on a plastic bag, and put their stack inside.
A redraw of the seats has been made.

While all the players are counting their chips, I talk to Fabrice Soulier. “I should have more than 60,000 chips, he say. I made a wonderful call: flop is J-J-10, and my opponent check-raise all-in. I have 10-7, and I know he could make this move with any two high cards. I make the call, and I’m right: he has Ace-Queen. He hit the ace on the river. Bing-bang, I’m down to 17,000.”

POKER'S NEW CROWN PRINCE

Posted by Admin

POKER


POKER

Joe Cada, 21 has defeated Darvin Moon to become the youngest World Series of Poker Main Event champion in the tournament’s 40-year history. He takes home $8,547,042 and the World Series of Poker Main Event world championship bracelet.

Joe Cada came into the final table with a decisive advantage over his opponent, however about an hour into the heads-up match, Moon’s aggressive play remedied his chip deficiency, even putting him in a commanding lead at one point with 149 million in chips to Cada’s 49 million.

“Well you got to take the man’s game away from him,” said Moon of his aggressive strategy. “Use the man’s game and see where he goes.”

However all was not lost for the young poker pro from Shelby Township, MI. A bit of light shone for Cada after a river playing card: 7s gave him a straight and a hefty 20 million in chips.

The hand of the match developed a little more than two and a half hours after play began. With the board showing [10c] playing card: 5d playing card: 9h [10d], Joe Cada fired out 3 million in chips.

Moon responded with an all-in re-raise. After some consideration, Cada made the call, tabling playing card: Jh playing card: 9d while Moon turned over playing card: 7s playing card: 8s. For the championship bracelet, Moon needed a 6 or Jack on the river, but was denied both when a 3 was turned over.

“That’s the hand I messed up,” reflected Moon. “I should have raised on the flop where he had middle pair.”

Cada, back in the driver’s seat, never looked back. The final hand saw the two remaining players all-in pre-flop with Cada’s pocket nines versus Moon’s Q-J suited. The flop came 8c-2c-7s improving neither players' hand, while a king on the turn and another 7 on the river ended Moon’s spectacular run and catapulted Joe Cada into poker superstardom.

While a lot has been said about Moon’s humility and indifference to the fame and fortune that comes with poker celebrity, he was adamant about his intentions on winning it all.

“Oh hell yeah, $3 million dollars, what do you mean what’s the difference?” replied Moon when asked if there was a big difference to him between first and second. “Am I sad about it? Am I depressed? Hell no.” For his second place finish, Moon earned $5,182,928.

A tearful Cada gave a nod to his opponent and addressed the crowd after WSOP commissioner, Jeffrey Pollack presented him with poker’s most coveted prize.

“I want to thank my friends and family for taking time away from work and school to be here,” he said as his cheering section erupted in mayhem.

Just over a week before his 22nd birthday, the young poker pro acknowledged the fantastic achievement he had just accomplished.

“I’ve dreamed of winning this tournament, and to do it the first year out of the gate is unbelievable,” said Cada. “This is just amazing.”
