My Journey As A Professional Poker Player (45 Viewers)

[Anthony Martino]

Made sure there was still content this week while in Vegas

 

[Anthony Martino]

Sick yesterday and today so still resting up hoping it passes and I can play the Gladiator tomorrow

Plenty of events everyday and I'm not leaving until Wednesday so will get some other events subbed if needed

 

[Anthony Martino]

Wasn't able to play yesterday either

Feeling better today. May play the 10am $500 2-7 triple draw at MGM Summer Series or may rest a bit more and play WSOP cash games later

Concerned about the decks they are using, you got 2 9s on the board.

It was an error in editing, river was 9 of clubs if you watch video

Double-deck Omaha. AKA "So you think you got a blocker"

 

[Anthony Martino]

My wife and I have been rewatching News Radio

On the final season after Phil Hartmans passing

 

[Anthony Martino]

Drawing to the wheel and make a #3 on last draw, run into a #1 which cost me some chips

1st break soon and around 17k from 25k start

 

[Anthony Martino]

I did snow a guy earlier after seeing half the 2's, 3's and 7's in the deck

 

[Anthony Martino]

Lasted 4.5 hours but busted 2-7 tourney, next on plo cash list

Wait.... MGM was running something other than 1/2 NL?!?

welcome to WSOP month. While Caesar's properties have no clue as to what is going on, nearly every other card room in Vegas is thinking "If a player gets felted from a 3-day event, they might want to still play cards. What games are currently running (or have just run) at the WSOP. Let's pitch that."

The other card rooms still have good full-time dealers, where Caesars properties are virtually tapped out on their talent roster. The WSOP is a great time to be in Vegas - especially if you avoid the WSOP.

When I was there last year, MGM still didn't get anything going other than 1/2 NL from what I saw.

It ran yesterday while I was there, started about midway through my tourney

 

[Anthony Martino]

Played some big o cash at WSOP but lost about $80

Got the full double in this PLO8 tourney at MGM though, maybe I can finally bink one

 

[Anthony Martino]

Smashed the guarantee, now I just need to win

 

[Anthony Martino]

56/200 left, top 25 paid, over 11k up top LFG!

 

[Anthony Martino]

Busted in the low 40's. Had dropped to 15k and got quartered in a hand

Down to 9k UTG with blinds going to 2500/5k/5k next hand

I shove with KQQJ one suit, get three callers so a shot to triple

Flop Q75 with two clubs (not my suit) and I'm up against A237 with nut clubs who bets the others out

Clean 9 on turn but an 8 of clubs on the river gives him nut nut and sends me to the rail 20 from the $$$

closest run this trip. Today my last day will try to salvage in cash streets

 

[Anthony Martino]

Vlog 58, my first ever trip to the WSOP to play events is now live!

 

[Anthony Martino]

Chipleading PLO tourney, first over 3k

 

[Anthony Martino]

18 left, 7 paid, avg is 327k so over double avg

 

[Anthony Martino]

Final table, 2 til $$$

 

[Anthony Martino]

Over 1 million, just busted a lady, on the $$$ bubble

 

[Anthony Martino]

Was chipleader at one point, wound up doing an ICM chop
