2-7 Lowball

I've been practicing my
2-7 Triple Draw over on Poker Stars.
Having fun learning the game.

A few things i've picked up quickly:

Its a game of drawing to the nuts.
(just like omaha).

2-7 lowball is an action game, lots of
people splash around in a lot of pots.
Surprising how many people put money
into the pot without a deuce.

I can also see how reading your
opponents would be super important
in a live game, because you never get to
see any of their cards. I'm still a total novice
at this game, but theres a lot of strategy
to learn and its good practice paying attention
... you have to pay attention in this game !

Full Tilt Freerolls

Poker After Dark, Round 2 Tourny
Tomorrow (Saturday), 3:05pm.
100 Full Tilt Points to enter.
One seat guaranteed to PAD Final
on July 27, where you can win
your way on to an episode of the show.
Warning: This is a Donk-tacular !

The $100 Canadians only was quite
a bit more tame, still slightly donkish,
but not like the PAD one.
(I finished 11th out of 2000 entries)

Tony & Sylvia !


(Sylvia thinking over her next move at the WSOP)

Two former Premier Poker Tour
players from London just got back
from Las Vegas.

Tony and Sylvia Shilyuk
both cashed at the WSOP !!!

Tony came in 5th at Event #9
$1500 Short Handed NL Holdem,
worth a cool $70,860.

He started the final table as the
short stack with 310,000 in chips
Hand 75, Rep Porter on the button
in seat 3 raises to 45,000.
Tony thinks a bit, then moves all in
from the small blind for 138,000.
The others get out of the way & Rep calls.
Tony shows: Kc 8c
Rep shows: 3c 3s
The gallery was on their feet
in the Final Table Area.
Porter has Tony covered so
his tournament life is on the line.
The flop comes Jd 4s 2c.
Porter's legion of fans applaud
while Tony's grow uneasy.
The tournament director explains
that Tony needs to catch a King,
an Eight, running Clubs, or
running double Board Pair to
stay alive in the hand.
The turn comes the 4c ,
the best card that could come
without taking the lead outright.
Now Tony can catch a King, an 8,
a Jack, or a Club to survive and
double up. When the dealer layed
down the river, it was the 5d.
Porter's pocket threes hold up
as he breaks the 2 million chip mark.
Tony went out in fifth and Porter
went on to win the bracelet.


Sylvia came in 40th at Event # 15
$1000 Ladies World Championship
for $3682.

The cutoff, Jody Phillippo, raised
All In preflop with 9d 9h.
Sylvia called from the big blind
with Qc Qh.
The flop was 8s 7c 5d giving Phillipo
a straight draw. The turn gave her
a double gutshot, more outs when
the 10s popped off.
Sylvia had one more card to sweat,
and then boom... the 6d landed as
the last card. Phillippo made a
straight and sent Sylvia to the rail.
Also notable, Sylvia finished ahead
of tourny veterans Kathy Leibert
and Evelyn Ng.

Big Congrats to both of you !

Heartland Poker Tour in Detroit

The Heartland Poker Tour will be
within easy driving distance over the
next few months.

Soaring Eagle Casino, Mount Pleasant, MI
August 16-24th

Turning Stone Casino, Verona NY
Ocotober 15-19th

Detroits GreekTown Casino
October 19-26th

I watch it on Dishnet satellite all the time,
but for those unfamiliar with it, the HPT
is a "minor league" poker tour with reasonable
buy-ins and relatively large prize pools.
HPT tapes the final table and creates 2
one-hour episodes with full commentary
to be aired on TV at a later date.

HPT usually has 3 events held over a
week at the host casino.
Buy-in's are usually $560, $760,
and $1650 for the televised Main Event.

Starting stack for the ME is $10,000 chips
(5k chips for other events).
Blinds go up every 40 minutes.

I'll probably be giving the GreekTown event
a shot in October.

Anyone interested in attending a rake-free

satellite home-game tournament for a seat ?

Niagara Satellites SUSPENDED

I got word that all WPT satellites and
any other WPT promotions/advertisings
at both Fallsview and Casino Niagara
are suspended....

Good idea to call ahead if you were thinking
of heading down to play in one of these sats.

There is some financial uncertainty with
WPT Ent. This has a lot to do with
Game Show Network (GSN) not renewing
their contract for World Poker Tour tv show.

WPT Ent. is supposed to be in negotiations
with other networks, and if a deal is going
to happen, it'll likely happen soon since
Season 7 of the WPT is scheduled to get
underway with the Bellagio Cup IV,
July 11-17, 2008 at the Bellagio in Las Vegas.

I'll do my best to keep you updated.

WSOP #1 won by Canadian

The first event of the 2008 WSOP
just finished up about a half hour
ago... and score one for CANADA !

Niagara Falls pro NENAD MEDIC won
Event 1, the $10,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em
World Championship and earned $ 794,112.
He beat out 352 of the best pros out there.
No kidding, the final table included big names
like Andy Bloch, Mike Sexton, Phil Laak,
Kathy Liebert and Patrik Antonius ! !

He mostly plays cash games, so he's not a
household name despite some solid fishishes.

In January 2005 at the WPT Caribbean Adventure
he finished 6th out of 461 players, for $100K.
He also had 2 cashes at the '05 WSOP.

In January 2006 he came in 3rd at the Australian
Poker Championshipfor $275K.
In November 2006, Nenad made $1.7 million by
finishing 1st at the WPT Championship at Foxwoods.

Nenad plays on Full Tilt as.... serb2127

Binion's announced return of the
Binion's Poker Classic. This year's BPC

20,000 in starting chips), and the BPC's

Sarnia now has No Limit !

POINT EDWARD CHARITY CASINO
now has 1-2 NL $100 max buy in.

I have heard that the size of your bet is
capped at $100 (have not confirmed personally).
May effect how you structure your bets if you
cant move all in to protect your hand, only
bet a max of $100.

My source said the action is great, very juicy.
1 or 2 good players and everyone else is
a limit player. The casino has only had fixed limit
holdem for the last 8 years the games are full
of people who have neverplayed NL cash before.
