I confessato by brokenman

Posted by admin On January - 25 - 2012ADD COMMENTS

brokenman is without doubt one of the names of Poker Network Forum seems to be everywhere always leaving notes on your mood and your knowledge of poker, which are not few. Just a couple of months we published his article that created some controversy in the comments. The motherfucking God gave to talk poker. Now brokenman tells us about two years after he became a poker pro came the day to confess to his family .

  • Father, I confess that I have sinned.
  • Entry begins as God commands, fish.
  • Oysters … True! Hello, hearts!
  • Okay, that is better still.

Well, that … Friday I finally confessed to my parents. After two years of playing every day, I gathered the courage to, in my 30s, independent, winner … I planted it.

Further to my sister saying that if he could play the University of Aranjuez was when I saw the light at the end of the tunnel. This is like all things … my sister is 11 years younger, the last one left at home and as such present little eye right from home. She came in and raised it, and everybody laughed.

Oysters … for if my house is placed bastards call gamblers to anyone who threw a coin into a slot machine, went to a casino or whatever … (which often is the case, eh?). Then on Friday dropped the bombshell.

  • The small playing the tournament, but … the dedicated professional to play this … ME! (Hands on head to cushion the jarronazo or cenicerazo).

# Sound of crickets #

  • How do you say his name of the place where we have to go tomorrow?
  • Hello? Nobody listened to me? Do you think good, bad, average?
  • No, damn it, that’s your name where your sister that does the test tomorrow!
  • On the street XXX 54.
  • Shit …
  • ViaMichelin

  • Yes, sometimes fails.
  • Well … What was it?
  • To play poker professionally.
  • Watch that you pesao … No, that is what street!
  • Calle XXX 54.

10 minutes after …

  • Okay, I found it, now … I thought you spent working.
  • Of course … And what jobs that do not require the ass to get paid what I tell (the number of tickets in €) per month?
  • Gambling, gamble house, risking his wife, played the cat, bla bla bla. You know, but gambling, gamble house, risking his wife, played the cat …
  • No way, this does not work well, look, my collection of books in English (that impressed), look at my poker school, look, my forum (mierda. .. the top ten entries are trolls … bastards) . Study a lot, I tell you how it goes. Check out my Hold’em Manager, my graphics, my stats, blah blah blah, look, I play twelve tables at once, blah blah blah ..
  • Okay, okay, but not worth it because I like gambling, gamble house, risking his wife, played this cat and has no end … you really, be careful.
  • Really, that does not work well, look: equity, long term, odds, Manual Carreno, little notes for each player, PokerStove … See? The EV for every play, no matter the outcome in one hand, because I play tropocientasmil per month! THE LONG !!!
  • Ya … ¿¿And all tables have the button for “risking their house, risking his wife, played the cat “??
  • Do not … seriously, potato, hear me, do not you ignore me … I do not feel at a table without having (at least) 30 times what I’m going to play from behind!
  • Aha, now I understand, but then watch out for compulsive gambling, gamble house, risking his wife, played the cat … but I am more relaxed.

So … Was not bad! I got it, I now have less weight on my head, only the sword of Damocles hanging by a thread that can lead to compulsive gambling, gamble house, risking his wife, played the cat … but removing it … Is jugadísimo!

And my mother, wife, for his part, breathe easy … which left me uneasy to me. Why is this woman who thought I was doing, I say that I make my living playing cards and “is relieved”

The mother who bore me … These Romans are crazy, but at least now I have to go making stuff up …

When the Ethics Committee of the Epic Poker League concentrates all the controversy, its visible head takes the victory in Las Vegas.
Mike McDonald is the prototype of online player who had made the jump to the live circuit, where it is virtually unknown to the public, he has never seen him play in programs like Poker After Dark. The Epic Poker League wants to get to these players and are the backbone of a project that seems to fall apart in terms of participation numbers.

‘Timex’ in their day announced his retirement from poker, but could not take even six months before returning to the game.

In this new adventure of Epic Poker League was offered to be part of the Ethics Commission, an invention that once seemed a toast to the sun but in only two events and has had to deal with scandals such as exclusion of a player with random background or financial affairs of the first winner of an event of the League, David ‘Chino’ Rheem, who was warned publicly about the matter while, as critical in the forums, one member of the commission, Andy Bloch, is probably a shareholder in Full Tilt Poker.

The particular form of classification, by invitation, said that the tables are hard from the start and, of course, abound in the final table players of quality. As McDonald himself said at the end of the tournament:

“I have rarely played on a table like this, where virtually all the players seemed to me better than me.”

The starting stacks were these:

1. David Paul Steicke – 1,059,000
   2. Erik Seidel – 1,031,000
   3. Isaac Baron – 876,000
   4. Fabrice Soulier – 537,000
   5. Dutch Boyd – 393,000
   6. Nam Le – 362,000
   7. Mike McDonald ‘Timex’ – 357,000
   8. Sean Getzwiller – 235,000

With respect to the final table, the first 4 eliminations were swift and legitimate. Boyd, with jacks, fell before Seidel’s aces; Getzwiller was eliminated with AK against KK McDonald, Isaac Baron attempted robbery and was being dominated shortstack with QT against AT and Nam Le Soulier Fabrice lost with AK, a flip Soulier to the jacks. The awards were increased stepwise from the eighth $ 57,530 to $ 126,570 in the fifth.

The day was spent in a very irregular to Erik Seidel. To get his removal chipleader Boyd became the shortstack at the table and ended up giving his last chips to Fabrice Soulier, who was crushed preflop to ‘Seiborg’ nine to five. Seidel said, for this fourth, $ 184,100 for his incredible money list in recent times.

The strategy Soulier three players still on the table was to open the range of push preflop. The concert lasted Gaul’s what it took McDonald to find a decent hand, AQ, with which to resist and eliminate the French, who was far behind with AT. The third prize was worth $ 299,310.

The matched started face to face and chose the side of ‘Timex’ when David Steicke decided to try to eliminate the Canadian fell AQ and the flip side of the six McDonald.

Steicke managed to double its almost nonexistent stack twice, but on the third hand her K2 could not improve and lost against Mike McDonald A4, which was $ 782,410 for his victory. The consolation prize for Steicke was $ 506,260.

It should be noted that Erik Seidel takes a second and a fourth in the first two events of the Epic Poker League and McDonald Award, being jugosísimo, remains some way off the million dollars that was David ‘Chino’ Rheem on his victory.

1. $ 782,410 Mike McDonald

   3. Soulier Fabrice $ 299,160
