**Chipless Wonder** · 07-07-2009 07:34 PM

When we return to play Day #2B, Dave and I have an interesting table draw. Blinds (antes) will be 250/500 (50) and here is what our table looks like.

Seat 1 - Matthew Parvis - 15,175 chips (Earnings: $34,055, Birthdate: 1980, Resides: Las Vegas, NV, Editor-in-Chief, Bluff Magazine)
Seat 2 - Scott "Chipless Wonder" Cook - 64,800 chips (Earnings: $15,363, Birthdate: 1964, Resides: Westerville, OH)
Seat 3 - Mark "Pegasus" Smith - 51,350 chips (Earnings: $476,581, Resides: Georgetown, KY)
Seat 4 - Dave "DNutty" Nutini - 55,200 chips (Earnings: $6,000, Birthdate: 1979, Resides: Dublin, OH)

Seat 8 - Tim Sullivan - 40,250 chips (Earnings: $23,658, Resides: Sioux Falls, ND)
Seat 9 - Matthew Compton - 14,350 chips (Resides: Longview, TX)

Seat 1:

Seat 3:

Seat 10:

Does anyone have any inside knowledge on the playing tendencies of any of our opponents that they would be winning to share?

Only person I've ever heard of is the 10 seat...he was at the time the youngest braclet winner in history (maybe still is) That was a few years ago, and it was a LHE tournament. Played pretty straight forward, again granted it was LHE if I recall correctly. Not any advice, just recalling if I had seen/heard of anyone off the top of my head.

Stay away from the donks in seat 2 and 4...

Oh snap that is you too.. lol.. Sick table assignment...

Is it surprising that you two are at the same table? Out of 4000 left you two are at the same table? Also, did you do the write up (hometown, earnings, etc.)? Or did you pull it fromthe WSOP site?

seat 10, never seen a guy who loves to iso more tham him. with 46 bb he would probably looking for spots to 3 bet or even 4bet, aggressive. keep it simple on post flop against him, nothing too fancy, but capable of making big calls with big pressure.

We researched and compiled the information from several different sites.

The guy in seat 2 told me that the guy in seat 4 plays pretty weak and is possibly a girl in disguise, so you can probably steal his blinds a lot.

The guy in seat 4 told me that the guy in seat 2 was six years old when dirt was invented. Seat 4 said he was a little worried about seat 2 raising a lot in position, but then he figured osteoporosis had set in and his frail bones would probably just snap behind the weight of the chips.

Seriously though, I don't know anything about them except that they should be worrying about you two. Have fun, play smart, and go get em.

MJ, the forum thanks you for this contribution.

I hate to tell ya, but it seems that whenever I get seated in the big tourneys with players from home, one of us inevitably takes out the other one.

Last year's Ladies WSOP event, I'm out in Vegas rooming with Kelley Kiser, and guess what.... yup.... she ends up on my table after several hours and seat changes.

Less than an hour later, my

takes down Kelley's

ouch....

Also last year, Stacey Nutini invites me to join her in a World Series Satellite in West Virginia. After multiple table breaks, when we get down to 3 tables left, I set seated just to her right. As we get closer to the final table, wouldn't you know it.... down goes Stacey to my small blind

This year, poor Holly Jones fell victim to her local gal pal in the Golden Nugget Poker Queen Championship after I got moved to her table. Holly in the BB

Dana in the SB

Jack on flop - another Jack on turn.....

Beware the players from O-H-I-O..... Especially roommates!

What table are you on? Will it break early??? You guys WANT to be friends when you get home, right?
