As we announced yesterday, and is in progress Writers V Grief Poker-Red and, as a reminder and encouragement to who decides to send your contributions (you have been given until 31 August), we look back and retrieve the text that had more votes in the fourth edition of Mourning: ‘Diary of a fish’ of Panamanian1. What you enjoy .

Diary of a Pez (Panamanian1)

Day 1 :
Dear diary, today I met with my friends at home of one of them very good to see a movie they rented was called Rounders. We saw it 3 times. Is a super cool guy that plays very well a game with cards that take a lot on television and before I had no fucking idea as he is called Poker Texas Jolden.

Then we went to return the movie to the video store and I told the clerk that “it would recommend to other friends because he was very good.” The girl made a face of hate and has gotten me slapped me is still hurting, but still do not know why. It must be that she did not liked the movie.

Tomorrow we’ll meet again and my friend Paco, who can play it, we will teach you to play them all.

Day 2 :
Hello dear diary, today I met again with my friends and Paco taught us to play poker I told you about. I learned very quickly, I think I have a special talent for this, as in gambling, which we are then donated them to my friends $ 4.78. The hand that won was spectacular, my friend Paco Olin with J5 did, I paid with 62 and beat him with a house full of clubs.

The best thing is that he was about 30 chips left me and me only 6, but we had seen in the movie than win Olin take all, so I won all the chips from him. At first Paco was not convinced, but then realized it was so. I think I’ll continue to look a little more about this game, I liked it.

Day 4 :
Daily Hello, I was figuring out the Internet and learned that there are many online tables where one can play poker network with other people in the world! And there are even people who live on this! Cool! I’ve already dropped one of those tables to register online and had to choose a nickname. I wanted one that was very original, but I could not decide between “TeddyKGB”, “Mike” or “knishes”. At the end I decided on the most original of all and I got “Rounder”, surely no one else has thought of anything like that.

Then I started to play make-believe money, all very well, the only thing I liked is that everyone else can see my letters because they are face up! I do not know what to do I have to cover them as those of others.

Day 6 :
Dear diary, these days I played a lot, and indeed the game is great, although there are some things we still do not quite understand. For example, in one hand on the table and I have KKJJ4 66. I Olin and the money he takes another A4. I do not know why, if my third pair was greater than his. Paco I have to ask me explain that.

But yet and that I have tripled my money lies. Sure, I had to buy my balance eight times before triple, but I feel ready to play for real money. My dad and gave me the $ 500 tuition for the new semester, so I will use $ 100 to enter the room. Total, when you double, $ 100 retirement and ready. I can not with the emotion of playing for real money !!!

Day 8 :
I tell you I made the deposit to the poker room! But instead of $ 100, deposit $ 500 total I had seen that he could make good money when I practiced with lies.

I sat at the computer, I put my dark glasses as a true pro and play! At first I called a few tables NL10, but as with the counterfeit money I had got used to playing higher figures, I entered a NL100 table and I was super well!

Note that in one of the hands that I won, I had 6c-7c and the other player had Ah-As, the flop was Ac-2h-3d, the boy gives me extra as $ 60, but I’m going Olin because I have a chance of stairs and color. The turn is 4 and the river in May and managed to crack the Aces! I think that poker is a skill that few need to have. But the other guy was very nice, learned to accept defeat, and even clubs gave me, because I wrote on the chat: “fu fu fu fu fu fu.”

Day 9 :
Hello dear diary, I commented that in this poker movie I will! I’ve already earned $ 400 additional to the $ 500 I joined! I thought about removing the $ 500, but I’ll leave because I will start playing NL200 and I want to open 4 tables at once to multiply faster.

Today I was flipping through a forum called Poker-Red, but to me they’re a bunch of nerds, there I have started to argue with one, which he said is best hand JTs JTO, I tried to explain that JTO is better because in addition to several steps, can have two different flush. But at FNAL has not understood the poor.

Something interesting to tell you is that even to get to the tables I was lucky, because when I was in the waiting list as there were only about 2 or 3 people, but after I sat down, the waiting list at my table was up to 18 people! How lucky I was to come when there were few. And you fools are, forming a long tail so instead of getting into another table.

I follow while destroying the poker tables.

Day 10 :
Damn! dear diary, I’m in big trouble! Sorry my handwriting but I can not shake these nerves. Note that opened the four tables of NL200 and at first everything fine, but then I had a fatal luck against some nerds. For example, in one hand was 83, I increased the first $ 8, then another guy reaumenta me $ 32 on the button and I pay. The flop is K33, we’re Olin and you think you had a very lucky? KK ..! Damn fish!

On another table is QQQAK hand, the pot is $ 20 and the other guy makes me Olin for $ 80 and I pay with my JTO stairs and I gave you believe? I earn with a full ..! Lucky is the bastard, I think that PokerStars is rigged! This has been all day and I lost all I had $ 900! What I do now?? Wait a minute, be right back, I’ll wipe my snot and tears.

Do not know what to do dear diary, I must ask my friend Paco advice.

Day 12 :
I can tell you it’s good to have real friends like Paco and he is very smart. Notice that got the $ 500 enrollment in the poker room and got past the half, but now let’s do something that nobody has ever done. He will come to my house, my internet is connected and we’re going to get into the same table, but NL600 and both know the letters of the two, so we can beat them more securely to the nerds!

Day 14 :
Dear diary, has been a disgrace. Paco came yesterday and as I told you we played. As always, at first everything fine but then we were both in a hand against a guy who had not played anything like an hour, and this time we did as two re-raise before the flop. The case was that when he left the river, Paco Olin tells me to go, I will move me and I put the $ 400 I have left. He will also Olin with the rest of your money in the river and begins to shout: “Come As, As we go!” I said: “ehhh … Paco, I think that since these were all the letters that were to spread.”

We lost everything in that hand and now Paco has told me I have to pay her $ 500, you do not see fair. At the end we discuss and Paco now not talking to me. He told his parents what had happened, they took him from school and said he would have to work selling newspapers to pay that $ 500 and also told it would take something like a course in a subject that had never heard before, I think is called gambling.

Now I’m in trouble, today is Friday and registration is next Tuesday and do not want my parents put me to sell newspapers. I’ll tell you what I can.

Day 15 :
Dear diary, I did something that I am not proud, but I think everything will be fine. At a time when my father left his wallet on the dresser, I
have your credit card and deposit in the Poker Room $ 600 ($ 100 to start playing and replace what I lost before and the other $ 500 then retire to registration).

Total that when you get your statement and I have recovered the $ 500, and deposited it all on the credit card. I do not even notice.

As once I have everything very well thought out, nothing can go wrong.

Day 16 :
Fuck! Now that I have been armed, note that today I have spent all day trying to get to my PokerStars account and has not left me, I contacted support and they told me that I have closed the account for something they call ” Collusion “..! Damn!

I asked them to at least return me my money but I was told it would be used to compensate those affected! ¿Can you believe what motherfuckers?? And now I can not even ask what does that mean Paco Collusion, sure he does know.

Oh my God, now what?

——————————————–
A year later …
——————————————–

Day 380 :
Dear diary, today I’ve finally gone and the juvenile detention facility in which I got my own father after accusing him of theft. He says it was for my own good … It may be true, because I said that trusts me and has shown me with $ 1,000 in cash to pay an outstanding semester and finish my tuition.

I am very happy with the parents I have.

Day 381 :
Daily Hello, I passed something that can be the best opportunity of my life and I can not miss. From what I have given my father I have decided to put $ 100 in a poker room to start playing NL50 and the other $ 900 I will pay a pro who has offered to teach me how to play poker like the best, is the guy who is studying medicine in Central America.

From the first season of High Stakes Poker Daniel Negreanu has not enjoyed any good performance in televised cash games . Whether found or just plays bad moves, Daniel has lost a lot of money on television and apparently inclusive in the Big Game will not things are going well .

It all started with a hand against Jason Calacanis , an amateur poker player. Calacanis went on the button to $ 1,200 with 7 7 , Negreanu paid with 8 6 and Brunson did the same with J 8 . The flop was 4 5 3 , Negreanu bet $ 2,500 and paid Calacanis. The 7 completed the project of Daniel, who bet $ 7,000 and, again, only saw Calacanis. The river was the 4 , Negreanu bet $ 20,000 and this time Calacanis rose to $ 55,000.

Negreanu has no luck in television

Here began the agony of Daniel , who took over six minutes to take a decision. Negreanu is known for being a very talkative player, but this time he faced an opponent that did not stop talking throughout the entire hand while Daniel tried to think what to do. Finally, Negreanu decided to pay when Calacanis said, “If you withdraw and give $ 1,000 dollar tip the dealer show you my cards “.

When he saw the full from Calacanis, Daniel threw his letters but it did not stop there. Calacanis asked the dealer how much he had been the most they had given a tip that night . “$ 200″ he said. “How much was the maximum that Daniel has given you?, Followed Calacanis. “$ 10″ was the reply. “It takes $ 1,000 dollars,” said Calacanis, “ Finally Daniel is money

“.

Michael ‘The Grinder’ Mizrachi has a huge stake in the face of the main event final table in November: the second bracelet of his career, the tie in the standings Player of the Year and also become

the absolute leader in the list of most profitable players in history to live tournaments .

Mizrachi is currently located in fourteenth place with $ 8.8 million profit in his career.

Phil Ivey is the leader with $ 13.5 million , followed by Daniel Negreanu 12.7 million.

Mizrachi, grinded to the number 1 (photo: ) CardPlayer

If Mizrachi wins the main event profits exceed those of Ivey by a wide margin and placed on the top of the standings with approximately $ 17.7 million. But a second serve is also ‘The Grinder’, because then your total earnings would amount to 14.3 million.

In regard to this possibility, Mizrachi said: “It would be an incredible achievement.

If I win the tournament, good luck to all trying to reach . I still have much to play poker. “

Michael Mizrachi has much work to be done and victory is still far away. But what is clear is that what are the reasons enough to win .

In the world of poker are also bickering. Just the weekend commented on statements by Phil Hellmuth, who asserted that it was impossible that Ivey has more bracelets than him in the coming years and now already have the answer to Phil Ivey .

In Jesse’s podcast Mey, the one where Hellmuth was speaking, Ivey gave him some words to Hellmuth and said about the career of bracelets: “ Impossible? I do not like the word ‘impossible’. I think it’s very possible. Very, very likely “.

Ivey delved a little further and said that, unless you plan Hellmuth win a pair of bracelets in the next five years, probably yes tine a little disadvantage in this race. “Maybe a chance of 5-1 or 6-1 to reach,” he said.

We’ll see if Hellmuth decided to continue cross-claims. Although of course, the WSOPE are very close and that is where things could get real interesting .

Now that the storm has passed the WSOP began to leave the lists and compilations in order to synthesize what was this summer in Las Vegas. Poker News team held a vote to know who were the protagonists of these WSOP, including which had been the biggest disappointment of the year .

The top of the list is, unfortunately, Annette Obrestad . Many, including herself, spreading forward to his debut in Las Vegas but at no time was close to getting a bracelet.

It could not be Annette

The main event champion last year, Joe Each , is also on the list. Each played sixteen tournaments but never charged in any of them and often went out in the first day of play. Definitely a bad showing for the defending champions.

Barry Greeenstein had a WSOP similar to those of Joe Cada. Greenstein played almost every tournament, as usual, and only went through box twice so that its balance of WSOP ended in the red.

Players of the old school as Doyle Brunson, Howard Lederer, Chris Ferguson and Mike Matusow not had much success .

For you what was the biggest disappointment of these WSOP ?
