Seven sanghoki game made me a huge pot
Seven DueceWe were playing the seven sanghoki game at private game in The Netherlands a couple weeks ago (blinds €5/€10 NLH) and the extra €10 from every player was really making a huge difference (lol, it’s so about the ‘macho’ness of the 72 isn’t it)… Anyway, I picked up 72 utg and decided to play it. I raised it up to €50 pre-flop and got two callers behind me.
The flop came:
752 rainbow.
Good flop for me and I decided to bet right out (€110) as I probably would most of the time with AA or KK in that spot. The first guy behind me folded and then I got raised to €250. I made the call and turned a seven to fill up. I checked to show weakness and the guy behind me quickly moved all-in for his last €600. I made the call and chuckled when he turned over two fives…
The guy obviously didn’t like it (and neither would I in that spot) but I dragged the pot and took an extra €80 on the side.
Awesome!
I’Ve Been Playing Under Par…
I’Ve been playing under par for over a couple weeks and I’ve decided to give poker a rest for a couple of weeks while working on a big project at work. I’M still up for 2008 but my online poker (full tilt this time) results are way below standards and in the VERY soft live games I play in in the local casino I’m only a slight winner too…
No biggie though, time to suck it in and get my game back together… :)
Will be back in a couple weeks!
Maya Geller - Patrik Antonius’ Girl
Patrik Antonius is one hot cookie but he also has a very very hot cookie for a wife… Maya Geller must be one of the most beautiful women walking around in the Vegas area even though it’s packed with babes…
Well done Patrik — Maya is a wife to be proud of!

Gus Hansen kills Antonio Esfandiari…
… with a ridiculous call holding T8s. Gus Hansen makes the call for almost all his chips — I know he probably thinks this is funny afterwards but seriously — this is no fun for Antonio Esfandiari, right?
Anyway, looking at the numbers this is one of the best calls in sanghoki, EVER. ¿But seriously — is it?
Gabe Kaplan is a Poker Hero! ;-)
Haha I love Gabe “Kotter” Kaplan in High Stakes Poker and I loved the article about Gabe on My Poker Heroes… Quick excerpt below!
Even when Gabe Kaplan was very active at his acting and comedy career, he wanted to become a poker player badly. So, he soon started taking part in poker tournaments all over the country and became known for his poker skills in the professional circles in the country. He first appeared in World Series of Poker in 1978. Soon, he got addicted to poker tournaments and started appearing in them regularly.
