Railing High Stakes Poker - Big Hands and Pots
Posted: Wed Jul 15, 2009 7:48 pm
I often rail the very high stakes games, especially on FullTilt where I find a) more well known pros more often, and b) bigger games, like 500/1000NLHE or 1000/2000 PLO.
Sometimes I'll use a screen recorder so I can replay/analyze or even just the Print Screen button to capture snapshots. Actually I find screen recording to be useful in games I play to, so I can replay/analyze myself or show to others... (for those interested in doing same, CamStudio is a good free tool)
I thought it might be good to start a thread to post some of the more memorable hands (I assume I am not the only one who rails HSP?)
Anyway I thought i would kick it of with the last pot in a 1000/2000 HU PLO session between durrrr and Phil Ivey. Things basically just went back and forth for about an hour, with neither player gaining a significant win, until durrrr stacked Ivey in this pot... It was all in the middle on the flop. I cant exactly remember the betting sequence but I remember it was Ivey who shoved...
Incredible to think these guys deal in a minute or so with sums of money that would buy a house!
Of course, anyone wishing to contribute big hands/pots here needn't limit it to only online poker.
