Todd must have had a hell of a run off air.
We were told he bought in for $5K. At one point he was down to $1K and he added on $3K to his stack. Did he finish the night with $9,600?

Regarding the french fries: I don't want this thread to turn into a stupid discussion of that. I'm not eating fries with a fork. The colds I get are usually unrelated to things like this, because most of my colds seem to either come from random life circumstances or from Vegas. In Vegas, I don't usually eat at the table because the food isn't free. I will usually take a short break, wash my hands, eat, then wash my hands again, and return to the table. If I do come down with a cold 2-3 days from when I played this game, I will give credit to the french fries.
Regarding everything else:
The game wasn't nearly as good as the other one they ran in July. There was one clear fish in the game (I think it's obvious who), and the rest of the players ranged from okay to good. Sadly, one of the "action" players slated to play, Dante, cancelled at the last minute. Brandon Wong, a good player, also cancelled, but oddly showed up after the whole thing was over, despite not being a local. Rep Porter dropped out of the game near the beginning due to a contract dispute (not kidding, more on that shortly).
Zac, a regular on their live stream, was getting clobbered by the deck. He was a pretty good player, but he was also hitting EVERYTHING. He didn't even put many bad beats down. He just outflopped people and got dealt aces constantly (5 times, by his own count, and all won). Zac was the guy to my direct left. The subject of PFA came up and he said he was going to try listening. I had never met him before, and don't know his last name.
Everyone else was struggling for most of the stream, with Zac (and later Kyle, a youngish Asian guy) winning all the money. Nobody really tilted, though.
Rep Porter played at the very beginning, but I don't think even appeared on the stream, due to the release form. He was unhappy that the form granted them rights to our images "in perpetuity" for all forms of promotion related to the stream. He said, "I have no problem with using my image on the stream and in your archives. But I don't give you permission to put my picture on your wall for having played here, which this contract grants."
He wanted them to let him "line out" the parts of the contract he didn't want to agree to, but they ultimately wouldn't let him. I stated that I agreed with Rep, and also wanted to line out the same thing. Rep is a bigger name than me and is more likely to potentially run into such issues down the line (for example, if they promote the stream by putting ads up around the casino with Rep's face as a past player), but I still didn't like signing away such rights. As I told people at the table, "You could win something big, like the Main Event, and suddenly you're a much bigger name, and they can use your image for free."
The table agreed. However, only Rep was strongly arguing this, and I was the only one who went along with him to the point of also wanting to "line out" portions, though I was planning to ultimately back down if necessary. (I also wasn't objecting as aggressively as Rep.) They called Rep aside and basically told him to either sign it or GTFO. He refused to sign it, so he left. Obviously I wasn't going to push it that far, so I just dropped the matter and kept playing.
I started out pretty badly, with two pre-stream hands (we played about 40 minutes before it started). First, I had AK in a 4-way, 4-bet pot, and missed on a board like J845J. I folded the river, pretty sure the 4-bettor pre (Zac) had something like QQ. The second was an ugly hand where I had QT on the button against Zac's JJ on a KJ559 board. As you can imagine, I got a rude surprise on the river when I raised him and got 3-bet. I almost folded, as he didn't seem like the type to bluff that and expect me to fold there, but I looked him up because I had folded that previous AK pot.
So I was immediately down a bunch to start. Then, I believe right before the stream began (haven't watched it yet), I donkstruck Andrew Barber. I had 89s. I open-raised pre, he was in the SB and called along with the BB. Flop came 422 with 1 spade. I bet hoping to take it down, and got check-raised. I didn't put Barber on a 2 or 44 (or big pair), and I had a backdoor flush draw with overs, so I called the bet. Turn was ace of spades, and he bet, I called. River was a ten of spades. He bet, I raised, he called and mucked when I showed. I'm guessing he had A4 suited.
Barber ran AWFUL. Like, really, really bad. He was the one with the Black Lives Matter shirt, as well as the small "Medicare for All" pin. He's a big time SJW and we are opposite politically. He can be annoying on Twitter. With that said, he's actually a nice and intelligent guy, and I got to like him when we had him on radio a few months ago. Some people texted me, asking me to troll him because of the shirt he was wearing, but I wasn't going to do that.
At my worst point, I was down about 4k. I am not sure how much of that was during the stream (I'm guessing around 3000-3500), but then I started to come back. I wasn't winning monster pots, but more just taking down a lot of consecutive pots, and I pretty much came back the same way I lost. My downswing was mostly the result of not being able to win a hand, and my return upswing was winning most hands I played.
I did have a comical hand against the fish who was almost all-in, who I was putting all-in for his final 150 (not even a full bet) when I held Ah6d on a A-high board with 3 diamonds. He hesitated, showed an ace, and mucked! Apparently he had A8 (someone watching the stream told me). Can you believe this? I guess I had outs with the diamond and the 6, but LOL at folding A8 there. Someone texted me, "Worst fold in the history of poker."
I was hoping to show off some of my favorite trap-type plays I've perfected in LHE in recent years (yes, those exist), but the way these hands came down, there wasn't really an opportunity to do so. So I just played solid, and I believe all of my postflop folds (at least in hands with semi-significant action) were correct.
We played for 2 hours after the stream ended. It eventually broke down to 6 handed because Seat 8 left, and the guy with the ponytail left after some cooler hand which pissed him off (I wasn't involved).
I do want to give props to Stones' hospitality, even though I hear that the stream had issues. They paid for one of my two nights at a nearby hotel (the casino is small and has no hotel), and they opened a food tab where players could order whatever they wanted for free.
Soooo... why didn't I eat 5 plates of food?
To be honest, my stomach kinda hurt all night, so I wasn't feeling up to it. Losing right off the bat, and slipping down as low as -4k, also hurt my appetite some. I'm not one of those people who eats when depressed. You will be proud to hear that, after the stream was over, a few of us verified that the tab was still open, so we ordered more food. I got a 12-inch pepperoni pizza and some donuts, and ate it all.
By the time the game broke, I won $1700 (not $1600 as previously stated on Twitter), and played about 5.5 hours total. Not a bad result considering I was $4k down at one point.
The food consumed:
- 10 ounce steak
- French fries
- 12 inch pepperoni pizza
- Donuts with raspberry and chocolate sauces
Not Live at the Bike worthy, but not bad.
I am going to hang out with a Sac-area friend today (not someone from poker), and then do the long drive back.
Tell Marty to hit me on skype or email. I have not been able to get a hold of him
How about common courtesy to the rest of the people at the table? Nobody, literally NOBODY (the real literally, not the figurative literally) wants to play cards with someone eating finger food, especially something like french fries.
Otherwise, was a fun watch.
Would you play in the game again?
