Hey guys, I have been messing around with buying a new poker set. I have had one with composite chips and I didn't like them very much. They were all I needed but didn't look so nice. So I decided to go for ceramic chips. They are basically for homebrewed poker tourneys/cash games. The design I liked the most was EPT chips. I looked for them and the only place where I could get them was from China. There were some ebay/amazon offers but for misleadingly high prices (over 1$/piece) which is too much. Do any of you have experience with buying from aliexpress/alibaba regarding poker chips? Especially the EPT poker chip. I don't mind counterfeit as long as the quality fits a certain standart. All responses are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Some guidance in chip selection for an overwhelmed newbie
Hi, I am trying to choose decent chips to play with some friends, nothing really professional, just some casual games, but we would like high quality. I have been doing some research and looks like people tend to prefer 10 grams clay chips. They are used in casinos and have the best feeling. Now, here is the thing, we, as casual players, put so much value in the esthetics of the chip, we would like them to look good, and have found some that we really like, like the 2009 EPT or the Montecarlo Royale Crown. Problem being, first ones are ceramic, not clay, and the latter having a weight of 14 grams. Or is it actually a problem? I would like to find out if its just a common prefference but there is no big difference or it actually matters. In the 10g clay spectrum, many casinos use the Paulson clay but imho they are horrible, are there any good looking alternatives? We would really appreciate your opinion and comments in this matter or, if you do not want to spend the time in writing a whole post, answering in the pool if you would consider, in your experience, that any of those chips spoken about earlier are a bad purchase (0.8€ per chip the EPT ones and 0.3€ the Montecarlo´s) considering that we plan on start going to casinos once we reach the right blind levels). As always, thank you really much =) EDIT: Apparently many people found my post quite deffensive and that was never my intention, I am changing my way to say some things so there is no room for misunderstanding =) View Poll
Folding the office job for a year full of (poker) adventures - PAGE 5
Link to page 1 HERE *(link to page 2 in comments page 1 etc)* The Villains Some names/nationalities/character description have been changed because of privacy Clicki finished 5th in the tourney for 180k$, he was familiar with winning these amounts and was gutted after being coolered brutally. An absolutely amazing score and run for a 888$ dollar buy-in tournament nonetheless. In the meantime Gary received his hospital bill, I think it was around 2300$. His insurance magically covered all the expenses and his parents never found out. He tells me he’s going to take it easy for this summer, as he did take several loans to finance his trip to Vegas. He even applied for a loan at the local bank beforehand, you can imagine that did not come through. However Gary wouldn’t be Gary if he wasn’t talking about other opportunities that would come in the (near) future. ‘’I think I first should play an EPT main event in order to gain some experience for the WSOP main event. I’m not gonna bother with small tourneys anymore’’. I always love it when Gary talks about high buy in tournaments while his tank is at 0, call it ambition. I figured that by renting out my place I could travel a bit through Europe. As a result of that I found myself with my friend Rien in Bratislava later that summer. After a good start on the first day I’m off the next one, I’m sitting down in a cash game and there seems to be a seat reserved. At the reserved place there is already 2k euro in chips, this is always a good sign. Usually well known local players seem to do this and they aren't the best players, often semi shady types that wanna show the table they have money and the authority to reserve a seat while everyone is already playing. Around one hour later the exact type that I expected shows up, it’s the type you’d see walking on the street and you would know; he probably doesn’t work for the government so to say. His name didn’t really surprised me either: Boris Because of his overly aggressive play I know to win a 500 euro pot of him and he immediately doesn’t like me that much. He’s talking a bit of shit to me in Slovakian but I think it wasn’t too bad. I just won a nice pot of him so I wasn't too bothered with it anyways. It’s just one of those many characters you come across in poker. This brings me back to the story of another classic Villain story out of Dublin. I never got his name but he turned out to be some kind of Polish drug dealer. After playing a small tournament in Dublin, an acquaintance of mine is playing in a 4 card poker game. I’m having a look at his table and one guy immediately stands out. He’s wearing a nice suit, a typical Louis Vuitton handbag across his shoulder, sunglasses of a designer brand, you get the picture. He’s leaning back in his chair and on his left is a table full of cocktails, probably around 6 different drinks. He has a massive stack in front of him of around 4000 euro (blinds are 1/2).On his right is a woman who’s with him, whenever it’s his turn he just says POT, instructing the dealer next to him to count the pot and that would be exactly what he would bet without even taking a glimpse at his cards. After this ritual, that occurred every single hand, the woman next to him would show him his cards. Although 4 card poker isn’t really my game, a game with a guy who isn’t even watching his cards before making full pot bets should be beatable. I decide to sit down and every pot is big because he’s in every pot. At one moment I’m observing him and expertly he moves a chip with an unknown substance to his nose, while sitting on the table with nine other people. Jesus, this guy must be more crazy than I could imagine, sniffing cocaine (?) in public. The dealer, an older woman, also noticed what happened and was looking in shock yet did not make a fuss about it. One player in particular, got really unlucky in multiple pots against him. After a while the player, with either Indian or Turkish roots, starts complaining a bit. The Polish cocaine sniffer promptly replies with: ‘Shut up Durum Kebab’ I thought this comment was out of order yet incredibly funny and really had to make an effort not to burst out laughing. The floosupervisor was called to check what’s going on and of course he was the first one to describe the situation. ‘Durum Kebab is complaining about a 2k pot he lost, you know how much I lost last month? 60k!’ The attendance of a supervisor didn’t hold him back from telling the other player that he should shut up or he would sleep for a long time. I would come across this same exact person roughly 28 hours later. It’s around 3:30 am as I’ve been listening to an arguing drunk guy in the room next to me long enough to start complaining about it at the reception. Once I arrive at the reception there’s a couple in front of me. Probably the most beautiful woman you’ve ever seen and the Polish guy. He’s wearing a Rolex and I can clearly see a Cross tattooed in his hand palm. This was definitely another woman than he was with the night before, I wasn’t surprised about that. The first thing I hear him saying is: ‘I want the presidential suite’ That’s not available sir. ‘Not available!? When is it available? I need the best room you have’ Followed by: ‘I wanna top up my credit’ My best guess was he was putting on a little bit of a show to impress the beautiful woman who was with him. After receiving the best room available he made clear that the employee shouldn’t mention his stay to anyone because he knew what would happen if he talked. Basically I heard this guy make two death threads within 28 hours and get away with it. I was curious to know the story behind this guy and when I asked Greg, the security I had known for years. His answer was distinctly: He is well known for being deep in ‘the business’. Fun fact about Dublin: There are no drinks ordered after 12 (?) on Sundays. I was surprised and pointed out that the hotel that hosted the event missed out on a lot of revenue. The owner looked into a room with 60 people, ''You see those people? If we keep serving them, 70% won't show up at work tomorrow. It's government instructions.'' You've got to love the Irish.
Thinking of buying the EPT Poker chips there, but I can't find any reviews of it anywhere, so just wanted to know if anyone has had any trouble buying from them.

This question has bothered me for some time. Is there a chance that I go to WSOP, EPT or any other Poker tournament, buy in for the tournament and tuck in a chip or two as a souvenir, or would I have to keep my chips on the tables at all times?

Me and my mates like to play home tournaments every now and then and the poker set i have is a really cheap basic one with 5 different denominations (5,10,25,50,100) and everyone usually starts with 10 of each chip but we have started to use a 4:3:2:1 format with 1 100 chip also (so if 4 people are playing its 20 5chips 15 10chips 10 50s and so on) . Basically what im getting at is whats the best way to set up peoples starting stacks, should i use the 4:3:2:1 or something different. Also im looking at buying a EPT poker set which has 7 different denominations (links below) and how should i go about setting a poker set like that up?, should i use all 7 denominations? only 4?. Cheers for any help EPT Poker Set
I play in a little local poker league on the East coast of the United States called the EPT(Easter Poker Tour) They host daily tournaments that are live MTT. About a week ago I took one down and won a chance to play in a qualifier for a $100,000 guaranteed tournament in vegas along with air faire and 3 nights in a hotel room. I waited all week for the qualifier and today I binked it, I am being ecstatic right now. I'm only 22 and am trying to use poker as a source of income and love everything about the game. Getting to Vegas is a dream I have, that I thought was going to come years down the line. But today I won the final qualifier before the http://barpokeropen.com/ and get to go to Vegas next weekend! I'm a little nervous because I'll be going alone but I still can't wait to get there! Update: I don't know why I didn't do this sooner but I'm here comes the update for how I did. Day 1 was going wonderfully for several hours. I was a dominate force on the table I was originally placed at and easily second in chips in the tournament with over 140 big blinds at 600/1200 blinds. People were taking pictures of my stack and walking up to me asking how I do it, it was extremely surreal. You guys truly sent the run good and things were going better than planned. So my table broke down because so many people were getting knocked out, every time a new dealer came in they were shocked at the amount of chips on the table. So after moving to my new table I was told the chip leader was here, the chip leader was surely a bar poker regular and drunk middle aged white mom who ended up being my reckoning in the very first hand I played at the new table. Here comes the hand... I was dealt AQ suited UTG and decided this was a good time to assert my dominance over the table so I opened to about 4 big blinds at the time was about 6400 chips. The average stack was probably around 30k except for myself who had around 150k and the leader who had just north of 150k. The leader was two seats to my left and min raised me, everyone else folded to me who contemplated for a short while and fired over the top. The villain snap called me and the Flop brought AJ6. I just checked and villain raised a substantial amount, I tanked for a bit and decided my AQ was probably good and re-raised her she literally was in the tank for about 8 minutes after my play. She continued to shove on me, so I thought that was weird and I didn't think she was hollywooding me based off the length of her tank and I snap called and she asked if I had AJ. I figured I was in trouble to A6 or something, but nope she turns overs A3 of diamonds and I was ecstatic. So now I just had to sweat two more streets and then I was destined for a massive run in this tournament with over 300 bigs. The card to hit the turn was a 3 giving villain her second pair and the river ran out to brick for me. Watching the dealer count all my chips to match what the villain had was surreal I was so disappointed in that runout my dreams of becoming the Bar Poker Open champ were fizzled. She ended up having me covered by like 3k, and I sulked my way over to the slots to drink free cocktails and pull some levers. The next day was uplifting though, I final tabled a 20k GTD I could have played it better, getting to the final table with second chip lead I only finished in 7th for a little less than 1,000. That tournament was an 11 hour session and maybe I was getting stir crazy but I punted that one too. Moral of the story is I could have folded PRE.
Looking for experienced hosts to help me set up a home game please :].
Hello everyone, I need help setting up a home game in the NYC area. I cannot find any micro stakes games below 1/2 and I'm pretty sure there are tons of people around here who wants to play this game with real money who doesn't want to risk $100-$400 per session but can have fun risking $10-40 at a 5c/10c cash game. So, I'm thinking, why not attempt to set up one myself :D? Here is what I have and don't have... GOAL- 5c/10c cash games or $20 buyin tourneys. It would be a weekly game at the very least and players would agree to play a certain amount of hours. Players can't be too loud either at night [got family living at my place]. I HAVE poker chips. 1000 brand new EPT ceramic 10g chips consisting of 200x green[25] 200 black[100], 150 purple[500], 150 yellow[1000], 150 red[5000],100 blue[10000], 50 pink[50000]. They are tourney chips that are denominated. I am hoping it isn't such a huge problem for people if I can make it as obvious as possible on what is the cash value of certain colors of the chips if we play cash games. I HAVE good playing cards. Got Da Vinci, KEM, Copag. I DON'T HAVE a poker table. I will be using my dining table. It can fit 6 nicely. 8-9 is tight but possible. i heard that an alternative can be buying a foam like material and putting it on the table followed by the speed cloth/felt on top of it?? Will I able to afford a decent table in the near future if my plans succeed? Most certainly yes. I know how to deal decently so I'll be the dedicated dealer. My BIGGEST priorities are safety followed by cheating and fun/socializing. This home game will be for people whose main priority is to socialize and have fun while still making a quick buck. I label myself as a "serious" player so I don't recklessly gamble with any 2 cards but don't plan on going pro either. As of now, I don't want anyone drinking alcohol at my home and most certainly will always keep the place a smoke-free zone. Thank you for taking your time to read this. Answers that go greatly into details will be highly appreciated.
Before the trip About 8 weeks ago I was casually scrolling though the EPT/UKIPT schedule. I'd never played a major festival event before, and I wasn't really looking for an event to play, just wanted to see if there were any 2-7 draw games going, unlikely, but that's my thing. As I scrolled past the high rollers and main events something peaked my interest. 9pm, Thursday the 16th of October, a £220 deep stack turbo deuces wild event. At £220 it was within the cheapest band of entry fees and subsequently within my budget. I also considered the fact that 2s wild would appear as "a bit of fun" for a lot of less serious players, making for a weaker player pool. Along with that, the fact that the event was right at the end of the festival and at 9pm made me think that if I could sleep all day and be fresh for the event I'd have another small advantage. The thing with small edges... add them up and they can make a significant advantage. Once I committed to the idea of playing the event, I made my travel and living arrangements and started preparing. Back at uni I played hundreds of hours of home games. About 25% of those games were the later part of 12 hour sessions when things would get less conventional. 8 card omaha, irish, 3 card holdem and most importantly a lot of wild card games. While I'm sure other people have played wild card games, the previous experience let me go in far less nervous, and as I would come to learn, much more prepared than many players in the field. Before I even got to London I was doing all that I could to prepare. Unfortunately 2s wild is a very popular form of video poker, so searching anything out online was slim pickings. This article however gave me a decent idea about what to expect. I reached out to Will, a redditor who cashed the same event at a different stop on the EPT and we discussed his experiences. I also spent a reasonable amount of time just dealing flops with a deck of cards at a desk, counting outs for different hands containing a 2. Anything I could do that my opponents weren't doing was to my benefit and I pushed that edge as much as I could. The day before the event The day before the event I arrived in London. After checking into my room I walked the route from my hostel to The Grand Connaught Rooms, where all the EPT tournaments were held. I took a look inside to familiarise myself with little things. Where is the bar? Where are the bathrooms? Where is the information desk? Little things I didn't want to be worrying about a half hour before the cards are in the air. My next stop was The Hippodrome, the official casino of Pokerstars at Leicester Square. They did have a free shuttle car service from the two venues which was an excellent thing to see, because the cash games only ran at the casino and due to some legal issues they could only accept cash buy ins at the Hippodrome, so anything to assist players in registering was a good thing. I walked however as it was dry and I had a lot of time. I knew from the promo information that I would need a Hippodrome card and a Friends of Pokerstars card in order to play. A quick visit to reception and the players lounge and I had everything I needed. I paid for my entry with cash there and then, receiving a receipt which I was to use to get my seat at the Connaught rooms later. I then went about enjoying the rest of my day in London. I did try and stay up extra late though, in order to sleep in later. The day of the event I woke up around 11am. Got myself up and ready for the day. Before the event that night I had a few more things to prepare. Going into the event I didn't know how long it would last. I had no real idea of what the number of runners would be or how late I could be up. As such, I went out and bought some aspirin, ibuprofen, bottled water, cereal bars and some emergency caffeine. If I felt a headache coming on at midnight I wanted to be prepared. I wandered the city for a while, went a napped a bit in my room, got diner with a friend and then it was time to go to the event. I arrived at Connaught rooms about 40 minutes before cards were due to be in the air. As there were several events still in play, I took the time for find my table and seat among the 3 or 4 rooms which had tables set up. Screens mapping out what was where made this very easy. I found the screen with our tournament info on. 20/20 players it said. "Wow" I thought to myself. Really small field then?! One of the dealers pointed out it hadn't been refreshed in a while, so I moved past the thought. I peaked my head into the other rooms, saw a few faces I recognised from TV/Web casts, although names escape me. Before long at was 8.55pm, so I headed to my seat at Green Table 10, Seat 4. The event I took my seat and the first thing I made sure to do was clarify the unique rules for the event. They were as follows.
Any deuce in the whole cards or on the board can be played as any card in any suit.
If a player is dealt pocket deuces, they must open their hand when the action is on them. They win the Blinds, the Antes and THE BUTTON
5 of a kind is a legitimate hand. It is ranked higher than a straight flush but not a royal flush.
Oh, blinds were 15 minutes and stacks were 15,000. With the rules confirmed and the other players in their seats the game began. At this time most of the tables had 4 or 5 players, which I found odd. However over the next 30 minutes most of the tables gained more players until the field hit 70 players. After the first level, the tournament director also made the decision to play the remainder of the game with 8 handed tables, presumable due to the smaller field size, but I'm not too sure. My opening table consisted of 5 players. A middle eastern guy in seat 3 (I'm in seat 4 remember). I could tell as his phones language wasn't in English. Two women in seats 5 and 7, and a middle ages white guy in seat 9. I was pretty happy to get this table draw. While outside of the poker table I don't discriminate or try to make assumptions, at the tables I will use generalizations and stereotypes until given a reason to think otherwise. Within the first orbit we quickly got a taste of how easy it can be to make a huge mistake. To be brief, the woman in seat 7 raised, and the man in seat 9 called. The action went bet call flop, bet call turn, bet call river. Seat 7 shows 28o with an 8 on board for trips, seat 9 shows AA and lost about 7k of his 15k stack at 25/50 blind level. Pocket pairs really don't have any weight to them. Only on one occasion after that did i play a pocket pair, when the button shoved for 6bb when I had 50+bb and I held KK. He had JJ and I won. Very quickly it was established that most players weren't playing hands without a 2. But I saw many spots where people were over playing weak 2s. It felt a lot like omaha, where the nuts often ran into the second nuts. Case and point was this hand I played at level 2. The UTG player in seat 3 raises to 3x, (50/100 level) I call with 8c2x. All other players fold. Flop comes 6c5c2x. I've flopped a 9 high straight flush. He c bets 500 into 750. I raise to 2000. I could have any number of straights, sets, flushes, quads. Which means he can have these hands too. He makes it 6000 and I shove for 13000. In hindsight a call of the 6000 would likely have been ok as I has the nuts unless 5 of a kind comes in. Regardless he calls and shows 4c2x for the bottom end of the straight flush. I double up and he is crippled. Coming in I knew I didn't want to play big bloated pots without the nuts and this is why. In this case, 7c8c9c with a 2 all beat 4c2x. Very strong hands were everywhere. 4h2x on a 4x2xJx board is quads. And that happened a lot. One observation I made after a couple of levels was the value of holding any AKQJ or T with a 2. This is because these hands can all make a royal so long as the board contains a 2 and any 2 of the other 4 broadway cards in your suit. This happened surprisingly frequently, putting those hands at a much higher value than 92 and 82. By the end of the first hour, our table had gained a couple of player, the field was set at 70 and the prize pool confirmed. 9 places paid. A hair under £4000 up top. At this time our table broke. This is because all EPT events break tables high to low and table 10 was the largest number. I move with around 30k to another table. This table has a lot more young grinder type kids which is no fun, but I have a lot of chips compared to several stacks at the table. Over the next couple of orbits I knocked out 4 players when they shove and I call with a better 2x, (and the kkvjj hand from before). I was up to around 80k, still well over 100bb deep before my next table break. Down to 32 players, average is 33k. My next table has several Norwegians who are drinking and chatting. I made my first 5 of a kind on the river and knocked out a player who made a straight flush which was fun. But then the card dead period began. In 6 or so orbits I saw 1 deuce and managed to steal the blinds a couple of times making use of my evidently nitty image. While I managed to maintain my stack, the blinds were racing up, the antes even more so. Since my initial double up back in level 2, I had simply been avoiding bad spots and pushing my good ones. Cruising my way along watching the field grow smaller. I knew I was getting more tired though. Finding the nuts at showdowns was getting to be trickier. Although this was usually after and all in and call where all 5 cards appear very quickly, rather than me having time to think and act. The dealers and floor staff did and amazing job of making sure pots were awarded fairly and correctly though. Throughout the whole tournament though, I took all the time I needed to correctly assess where I was in the hand and what I held. This was extra important when making thinner value bets on rivers, where a lot of 2s would call with very bad hands and lose to say a straight or flush. Eventually we broke to two tables. And I could feel myself edging towards the money. When we broke to two tables, we redrew seats. The loud/drunk Norwegians moved to table 2 and I was on table one. While I had just above average at this time, most of the chips in play were at table 2, so I had most of my table covered and there were several short stacks. We began to see the first instances of multiple pre flop all ins with 2xXx vs 2xXx. Often they just resulted in chop pots as any 4 to a straight would make a straight for both players with the 2. I maintained my stack and then soon we were hand for hand. We would be going to a 9 handed final table and 9 places paid so this was the moment we had been waiting for. There were a few very large all ins on table 2, which the bigger stacks spent 2 or 3 minutes deliberating a fold or not. This really hurt with the blinds at 5k/10k(1k) with 15 minute blinds. A player from table 2 did eventually bust and we redrew onto table 1. Now I'm at seat 2 on the final table. 1 of the shorter stacks busted pretty quickly. Then a very important hand happened. I don't recall exactly the hands that got me there but I had about 200k. In the BB i pick up Qx2x. Action folds to seat 8 who shoves for 30k. Seat 9 shoves for 55k and I call in the BB. The hands were 42, 72 and Q2. The board runs out and 72 makes a straight. Seat 8 is eliminated leaving 7 players and seat 8 wins a 150k pot, which had I have won would have put me in a much better position. Now the shoves are coming thick and fast. There were 4 or 5 all in and calls but they all ended up in split pots or the smaller stack winning. By this time the blinds are 10k/20k(3k) With 1,050,000 chips in play, that's 50bbs on the whole table. Unfortuanelty I catch no 2s that double me up or help me, the blinds go up again to 12k/24k(3k) and I'm all in for 1bb with KJo vs 82. I don't improve and I get knocked out for 7th place for £670. Ultimately I'm very happy with how I played. I ran pretty well, didn't do anything stupid and had fun. It's a shame a couple of cards didn't come differently for a much bigger score, but given I can now brag about having a 100% cash rate at the EPT and have a good story to tell I'm not going to complain. If this event remains in the schedule I'll do my damned best to play it again that's for sure. Thanks very much for reading. I know it's a wall of text but in this instance that's kinda the point. GothicLord PS- The /poker championship vids will be going up soon. For some reason (possibly the size/length of the videos) sometimes they crash and I have to start the uploads again.
Original: I play in a little local poker league on the East coast of the United States called the EPT(Easter Poker Tour) They host daily tournaments that are live MTT. About a week ago I took one down and won a chance to play in a qualifier for a $100,000 guaranteed tournament in vegas along with air faire and 3 nights in a hotel room. I waited all week for the qualifier and today I binked it, I am being ecstatic right now. I'm only 22 and am trying to use poker as a source of income and love everything about the game. Getting to Vegas is a dream I have, that I thought was going to come years down the line. But today I won the final qualifier before the http://barpokeropen.com/ and get to go to Vegas next weekend! I'm a little nervous because I'll be going alone but I still can't wait to get there! Update: I don't know why I didn't do this sooner but I'm here comes the update for how I did. Day 1 was going wonderfully for several hours. I was a dominate force on the table I was originally placed at and easily second in chips in the tournament with over 140 big blinds at 600/1200 blinds. People were taking pictures of my stack and walking up to me asking how I do it, it was extremely surreal. You guys truly sent the run good and things were going better than planned. So my table broke down because so many people were getting knocked out, every time a new dealer came in they were shocked at the amount of chips on the table. So after moving to my new table I was told the chip leader was here, the chip leader was surely a bar poker regular and drunk middle aged white mom who ended up being my reckoning in the very first hand I played at the new table. Here comes the hand... I was dealt AQ suited UTG and decided this was a good time to assert my dominance over the table so I opened to about 4 big blinds at the time was about 6400 chips. The average stack was probably around 30k except for myself who had around 150k and the leader who had just north of 150k. The leader was two seats to my left and min raised me, everyone else folded to me who contemplated for a short while and fired over the top. The villain snap called me and the Flop brought AJ6. I just checked and villain raised a substantial amount, I tanked for a bit and decided my AQ was probably good and re-raised her she literally was in the tank for about 8 minutes after my play. She continued to shove on me, so I thought that was weird and I didn't think she was hollywooding me based off the length of her tank and I snap called and she asked if I had AJ. I figured I was in trouble to A6 or something, but nope she turns overs A3 of diamonds and I was ecstatic. So now I just had to sweat two more streets and then I was destined for a massive run in this tournament with over 300 bigs. The card to hit the turn was a 3 giving villain her second pair and the river ran out to brick for me. Watching the dealer count all my chips to match what the villain had was surreal I was so disappointed in that runout my dreams of becoming the Bar Poker Open champ were fizzled. She ended up having me covered by like 3k, and I sulked my way over to the slots to drink free cocktails and pull some levers. The next day was uplifting though, I final tabled a 20k GTD I could have played it better, getting to the final table with second chip lead I only finished in 7th for a little less than 1,000. That tournament was an 11 hour session and maybe I was getting stir crazy but I punted that one too. Moral of the story is I could have folded PRE.
2016 PokerStars European Poker Tour €10,300 High Roller crowns winner
PokerStars players were overwhelmed by the flood of good news coming from the prestigious poker room in 2016. New tournaments were added, the loyalty scheme has been improved and bonuses of all sorts are awarded to players, so there are plenty of things to do online. At the same time, a significant portion of players are enjoying the games on mobile devices and some have returned to the old-fashioned way of playing in brick-and-mortar casinos. Fans of live poker had a great time at the EPT tables and the most recent series took place in Ireland at the Royal Dublin Society. There were plenty of tournament scheduled under this brand and by far the most prestigious one was the main event. 2016 PokerStars European Poker Tour €10,300 High Roller attracted fewer players and it brought together some of the best poker players in Ireland, but also a healthy number of Americans. Only the top 27th players will finish in the money, but this didn't have a deterring effect on 185 participants who paid €10,000 each. Reaching the final table was an achievement in itself, because all those who made it this far would enjoy a nice return on investment. There were players from various countries who reach the final stage including two Americans and at the end of the day one of them emerge victorious. Samuel Panzica won the first prize worth in excess of €375,000 and for the valiant fight against Sergey Lebedev and Akin Tuna. These two players were by far his toughest opponents and also the ones who took the initiative immediately after the final table started. They had the advantage of having more chips in front of them than virtually all the other players, so they picked out short stackers one by one. William Arruda from Brazil was the first to be eliminated but he received a price worth five times the investment, with a Canadian, an American and the Belgian falling him to the rail. Davidi Kitai was the first one to cross the psychological threshold of €100,000, while Emil Patel from Finland receive €150,000. Three handed play began with Panzica and Akin Tuna having a narrow advantage over the Russian player and the latter was quickly eliminated. When just two players were left standing, they decided to make an agreement and split the most significant part of the prize. They were left playing for €65,000, which eventually were collected by Panzica, while the runner-up grabs nearly €300,000. The EPT Dublin €10,300 High Roller Final Results are available in the list below, so check it out to learn more about the final standings: 1 Samuel Panzica USA €375,7702 Akin Tuna Germany €290,0003 Sergey Lebedev Russia €184,6504 Emil Patel Finland €150,5505 Davidi Kitai Belgium €120,0506 Ryan Riess USA €92,2407 Timothy Adams Canada €67,1208 William Arruda Brazil €48,630 from via Casinoreviews
Paul Volpe takes the WPT World Championship by storm
The most important poker tournament in the world, will start one month from now, but meanwhile players have several events to keep them busy. Now that the EPT Sanremo has ended, they will be fighting for money and glory at the World Poker Tour World Championship. The tournament gives players several chances to buy in, with registration being open for consecutive days. It all began with Day 1a, when 105 players bought in and 62 of them survived the day, led by Paul Volpe with 250,000 chips. The poker player had a long run at the top of the Global Poker Index player of the year list for many weeks, so it comes as no surprise that he outshined his competitors in the 1st day of the WPT. Obviously, he was not the only poker professional to participate, with some of those who made it to Day 2 being within striking distance. Perhaps the most dangerous ones are Jerry Wong, Scott Seiver and Shannon Shorr will bring sizable stack to the table and are expected to shift into more aggressive gear. At the opposite end of the spectrum, we had poker pros who suffered an untimely elimination, but the good news is that they still have a chance. Since the World Poker Tour World Championship has late registration and players can rebuy several times, Dan Smith, Mohsin Charania or Ryan Riess could return to the felt. These are just some of the professionals who were eliminated, alongside PokerStars Team Pro Eugene Katchalov and Chris Morman who announced their intention on Twitter to rebuy. Action will resumed fast and furious tomorrow at 11 AM local time, and even more players are expected to tag along. If past performance is an indicator of how this tournament will unfold, we are entitled to expect a new record to be set this year. For the time being, these are the top 10 most successful players and the stacks that they will be bringing at the tables when the games start all over again. 1. Paul Volpe – 215,3002. Jerry Wong – 198,0003. Brandon Steven – 195,5004. Scott Seiver – 192,5005. Anthony Gregg – 190,6006. She Lok Wong – 177,2007. Jordan Siegel – 163,5008. Shannon Shorr – 151,6009. Tom Dobrilovic – 131,90010. Orson Young – 130,000 from via Casinoreviews
Day 3 at the EPT Monte Carlo Grand Final Main Event
The European Poker Tour continues its continental adventure and Season 10 will soon end with the most glamorous event. It comes as no surprise that Monte Carlo was chosen as the city where the series will wrap up and in 2014 the tournament attracted a record number of players. The first two days were intense and 123 players returned to the tables at the beginning of day three, trying to book a seat to the next stage. Most of them saw their dreams crushed in the first hours of the day, but 41 players are still standing and have a decent chance at making the final table. Among those who suffered an untimely elimination throughout day three, only 28 went home empty-handed, with 47 making the money. They didn't win too much as a result of surviving that long, but at least they offset the initial investment, an amount that regular players considered to be prohibitive. When the games resume tomorrow, Malte Moennig will be the one to bring the biggest stack to the tables, therefore he is considered to have one of the best claims and the title. He lacks the experience that some of his counterparts have, but with 1.1 million chips to his name, he's a force to be reckoned with. Among his top competitors are several poker professionals, including Scott Clements, David Williams, Steven Silverman, PokerStars Team Pros Ville Wahlbeck and Noah Boeken to name but a few. Obviously, there were even more poker pros who bought in for the European Poker Tour Monte Carlo Grand Final Main Event. They were eliminated over the first three days, with Sam Trickett, Johnny Lodden and Angel Guillen being sent to the rail is just a few hands before day three came to an end. Five more levels will be played tomorrow, when the 41 remaining players will return and the idea is to have just 16 of them remaining. At the time of writing, Malte Moennig leads the pack and he is the only player with more than 1 million chips to his name, with the next three having stacks ranging from 946,000 to 996,000 chip. Check out the list yourself to see who are the most successful 10 players at the EPT Monte Carlo Grand Final Main Event: 1. Malte Moennig – 1,150,0002. Sebastian Von Toperczer – 996,0003. Eros Nastasi – 995,0004. Mayu Roca – 946,0005. Nicholas Petrangelo – 840,0006. Scott Clements – 797,0007. Matias Ruzzi – 746,0008. Kenny Hicks – 738,0009. Miroslav Alilovic – 700,00010. Hendrik Latz – 680,000 from via Casinoreviews
One of the most important tournaments that took place this year in Ireland is the 2014 Winamax Poker Open, a competition that has a special format. It is organized every year in the winner's country of residence, which explains why so many people were rooting for the local favorite. While poker professionals and highrollers are waiting for the EPT to resume, those who prefer less prominent tournaments with reasonable buy-ins found this one exciting. There were a couple of players who took a break from online gambling and sat down at the live poker tables, with 888Poker providing most of them. One of the reasons for why so many players that usually compete over the Internet at the aforementioned poker room participated in the 2014 Winamax Poker Open, is that they won qualifiers. It is common practice for poker companies to run online satellites, with the winners claiming packages for live tournaments. This year, there were plenty of poker players from France who participated in this competition and not surprisingly many of them made the final table. The game is played shorthanded, which means that just six players were supposed to remain in the race for the final table to be set. With almost 1000 players buying in for the event, it took a while for the field to be reduced to six and when this happened, four out of six participants were from France. All of them paid the €550 out-of-pocket and everyone expected that one of these Frenchman will win the tournament. The first was eliminated quickly and another player from the Netherlands followed, leaving Tom Kitt to play against three experienced opponents from France. One by one they were sent to the rail, until Alexis Coming was the only one standing and the heads-up began fast and furious. The two players were evenly matched and with both of them having roughly the same number of chips in front of them, nobody was willing to take many chances. Tom Kitt carefully prepared his attack and when he finally shoved his stack in the middle and got called, he was overwhelming favorite to win the hand. The best cards held all the way to the river and Tom took home a paycheck of $75,000. These are the complete 2014 Winamax Poker Open Final Table Results: 1 Tom Kitt Ireland €75,0002 Alexis Coming France €51,0003 Pierre Tassin France €37,0004 Adrien Delmas France €28,5695 Jonathan Rozema Netherlands €22,5006 Sebastian Leclercq France €17,000 from via Casinoreviews
The Mid-States Poker Tour stops in Wisconsin this week
Right now, all the eyes are locked on the next stop of the European Poker Tour, at least when it comes to live poker. Action continues unabated over the Internet, with more bookmakers convincing punters that it is worth taking a short break from their betting habits, to play some online poker. Bet365 is leading the pack, with a string of new tournaments and promotions that have started at the beginning of April and will only conclude at the end of the month. Customers from United States are not allowed to play poker online from the comfort of their home and they are simply too far away to participate in the EPT. This means that they need to focus on local events and luckily for them the Mid-States Poker Tour stops in Wisconsin this week. There are plenty of tournaments to choose from and some of these events will appeal to highrollers, while many have buy ins that are not prohibitive and welcome regular players with open arms. The highlight of the series is obviously the main event which has a guaranteed prize pool of $250,000 and will only setback players $1110. This tournament is scheduled to start on April 16 and will conclude two days later, but prior to kickoff there are other events that players can choose from. The organizers didn't waste any precious time and published the complete schedule of the upcoming event, so players can make an educated decision and buy-in. This is how the Mid-States Poker Tour shapes up:Tuesday, April 14 PLO & PLO 8 or better $250 11:15 a.m.Tuesday, April 14 Main Event Qualifier $250 3:15 p.m.Tuesday, April 14 Double Green Chip Bounty $20K Guarantee $150 7:15 p.m.Wednesday, April 15 Main Event Qualifier $250 11:15 a.m.Wednesday, April 15 Main Event Qualifier $250 5:!5 p.m.Wednesday, April 15 Main Event Qualifier $250 9:15 p.m.Thursday, April 16 Main Event Qualifier $250 11:15 a.m.Thursday, April 16 MSPT Main Event Day 1a $1,110 4:15 p.m.Friday, April 17 Hyper Turbo Qualifier $150 9:15 a.m.Friday, April 17 MSPT Main Event Day 1b $1,110 11:15 a.m.Saturday, April 18 Hyper Turbo Qualifier $150 9:15 a.m.Saturday, April 18 MSPT Main Event Day 1c $1,110 11:15 a.m.Sunday, April 19 MSPT Main Event Day 2 -- 11:15 a.m. from via Casinoreviews
Hello everybody, As the title says, this is my story. From start to finish of this seemingly endless one year journey of playing while underage online (and some live) poker. Most people won't care to read this or will downvote it to oblivion for the simple fact that what I'm doing is technically illegal. I don't mind I just want to share my full story with anyone who might actually care since no one in my life seems to. It all started in the summer before 9th grade. I was moving to a new school for high school and was eager to meet people. My brother (Let's call him Sam, obviously not his name IRL) and his friends were upperclassman in high school and were playing poker pretty frequently in his friends basement for nickles at a time. Sam invited me to go play poker with his friends one morning. He told me to bring about $20 to chip in for pizza and to get some chips. I spent all day reading up on articles like "Poker Basics" and "Beginner Poker". I look back at these articles now and chuckle to myself about how simple they are but to beginner player me, I was amazed that you weren't supposed to play every hand and that it was not very good to try and bluff your way out of every hand. When I arrived with Sam at the place we were playing, I was kinda nervous about fitting in with all these upperclassmen, but not about the poker at all. I just wanted to have a good time and if I lose a few bucks it's not a big deal. At the end of the night I'm up about $3 and Sam and I left. I still didn't understand variance so I thought I was so much better than Sam who lost his $10 investment fully. I didn't care for poker all that much after the night but thought it was kinda fun just for the social aspect. Later in the summer, my brother Sam invited me to play poker again. This time, it was a "high stakes" tournament, with a buy-in of $20. I eagerly said yes as I enjoyed my time at the first event and would gladly play again. I was also excited at the prospect of winning $120 for the first place prize. Sam and I showed up and there about 10 people total in the event. I handed in my money and we began to play. I was on fire. I knocked out every single person in the tournament except one, who Sam knocked out. I ended up bubbling my brother who claimed he was a poker god, and it felt so good xD. I won the grand prize of $120 and thought I was a poker prodigy. Once again, I still did not understand variance and thought that most of poker was skill. I was not ever invited back to play poker after that, but I didn't mind. I was happy with my money. For the longest time I completely forgot about poker until a chord was struck with me and my passion rekindled, this time in a more intense way. It was the winter break of 9th grade. I was visiting some relatives at a beach (the name I'm not going to disclose because I don't want there to be any way that anyone that knows me IRL can discover this) for Christmas. I had just got a fancy new iPhone and was setting up all these cool apps on it. I set up the ESPN app and was watching live TV from my phone. I saw a rerun of the 2015 WSOP ME on and decided, "hey that might be fun to watch". I immediately became hooked. I saw the bright lights and Joe McKeehen. He was my hero. Staring everyone down like a badass and eventually, as I stayed up until 4 AM to watch him play more Hold 'Em, winning over 7 million dollars. I wanted that to be me so bad. I barely knew what the hands meant or any strategy at all, but from that moment I knew I at least wanted to explore this crumb of a passion for poker. We left a few days after I "discovered" poker. When I got home I immediately texted my best friends (from my old school) and said, "we have to play poker, I'll teach you all and it will be a ton of fun". The next day I went to my friend's house and laid out this dusty old set of chips and I proceeded to teach my 3 friends and my friends brother the rules of Texas Hold'em and hand rankings. We all put up $5 and started to play. It was a blast, sitting there listening to music chatting with my buds for a few hours, all while starting to win some money. I ended up winning $20 and was extremely satisfied. We started to play more and more on weekends and such and by the time my friends got tired of playing I was up about $150. Obviously they barely knew how to play and my minor knowledge of simply hand rankings gave me a massive edge over them but I still ran hot. My friends started to resent me for taking their money, but I did not feel bad. By the time I stopped playing with his group it was close to the end of February. I was having trouble making friends at my new school so I thought it would be fun to invite some over to play poker. I told them to bring about $10 but of course no one did. We played a cash game with debts because I insisted that poker was no fun for no money. I ended up winning about $9 and a lot of the others seemed to have a good time. I was pleased with myself for organizing this event and seemed to be making friends at my new school which I was happy about. Eventually, I was invited to one of my new friend's birthday party. I was so excited to go because I finally felt like I was a part of their group. I must mention, by this point I had discovered Pokerstars play money, and was playing often. I would spend days grinding away, often losing my whole 'bankroll' by simply getting tired and going all-in (Mind you my bankroll was often just one buy in. Pokerstars gave you 3 buy-ins to the lowest level every hour). I still was not studying any sort of basic strategy so I was basically playing bingo. Anyways, I''m getting ready to go to the friends house for the sleepover and I decide to pack some socks full of poker chips. I get there and suggest that we play a little, just for a few bucks. Everyone says they just want to play for fun and I reluctantly agree. Of course the game is a clown fiesta and my frustration with their 'unenlightened' plays was noticeable. In hindsight I was being a real asshole but it's in the past now. Eventually, there was this one kid who wanted to play 1v1 for $20. I set up the SnG format and we played. I won on the first hand, flush over top pair. He wanted to play again for another $20, but he wanted to start with 2x the chips. I agreed thinking I was much superior to him. I won again, this time on the 4th hand with flush over bottom two pair having taken the first half of his stack on the first hand with another flush over top pair. He wanted to play one last time for another $20, this time starting with 3x the chips. Once again, I eagerly agreed and set it up. I bled him dry by C-betting every hand and won again. It was kind of awkward for an hour or so having just taken $60 off a kid at a friendly birthday party. I didn't think much of it. I continued to play more and more poker with the play money on Pokerstars till I won a 1600 person tourney. I thought I was figuratively a divine figure sent to this Earth to play poker. Unfortunately I was not and would have some sobering experiences in my future. After about 3 months or so, without playing any 'live' poker and only playing for play money on Pokerstars, I decided to set up an account on a site that had real money under an alias. I thought I was such a badass and began to play freerolls. I was in a constant state of win $2 in a freeroll and then lose it up about until the end of the school year. Once I had kinda started to play for real money online in these free-rolls, I started to take my game more seriously. I thought I could get better by watching TV poker so I watched hours and hours of past WSOP MEs and PAD and EPTs. and HSP. I knew every famous poker player and began to compare myself most to Tom Dwan, "A young poker genius". Eventually, I discovered what Twitch was. I found Jcarver playing poker and began to watch him every night after school religiously. He was an idol to me. Also around the same time I discovered Poker, which completely opened up my world to strategy and thinking about poker in a more professional manner instead of the "Tehehe I have good cards let me chuck all my money in the pot and hope I win" approach I had before. Although I did not get much strategy content out of Poker I used it as a gateway to other resources such as BlackRains? microstakes videos and other twitch streams like MingtheMerciless who actually analyzed plays and was more learning oriented than Jcarver. Anyways, all this learning was happening during the spring of my 9th grade year and I was going to another new friends birthday party. All my new friends would be there and I was excited to go. I again, brought some chips and asked if people wanted to play. Everyone seemed reluctant but after some pestering from myself a few split off from the group and we sat at a table and laid out the chips. I suggested to play for $5 but everyone said they would rather play for fun. I began to get in my 'holier-than-thou' attitude and began to lecture them about how "playing for no money is a waste of time". I remember those words exactly. I felt in the moment that I was simply speaking the truth but a later even sobered me to realize how much of an asshole I was for saying that. While we were playing a friend began to say how the deck was rigged because he got an ace two hands in a row. I then went on a long tangent about probability in my 'holier-than-thou' voice and made an ass of myself in front of my friends for not getting the joke and getting frustrated. IMPORTANT: Before this party happened and after I started playing online I started to brag about my poker endeavors online at school and how I was such a badass. My friend leans over to another friend and whispers quite loud, "just don't argue him on this, he's kind of an asshole and poker is his thing " Wow. I realized that all my new friends were only playing poker with me to be polite and not hurt my feelings. I began to realize that I had been hurting my new friendships just for poker. From that moment on I kept my fucking mouth shut about anything poker related. Over the summer I devoted my entire time to one thing, poker. I told myself at the start of summer that by the end I wanted one thing, a real bankroll to play 2nl with. I grinded freerolls day in and day out and was studying strategy on my phone in my downtime at my summer job. I got free trials for HUDs and was analyzing my plays. I still could not get a bankroll to stick despite multiple attempts by winning freerolls. I figured out a way to deposit on my account using bitcoin without having to verify my age or address or name. I deposited $25 and began to play. I played awfully and justified it as simply running bad. I would donk off a bunch of money playing cash claiming I played a 'high-variance' style and then would bink a tourney to be even. Eventually I got up to $40 through such luck. I went on a binge were I lost $16, then played this sites version of a spin-n-go for my remaining $25 bucks. I was so tilted. I saw my heart drop as the spinner landed on $100. This was my chance. When the first guy got knocked out I was at a 2-1 chip disadvantage. I got it in with AQo vs TT. I lost. I was broken. Everything I had worked for was lost. This experience was very sobering for me. I realized how bad I was playing and I realized how fucked up it was to play that spin-n-go. I finally, after about 8 months, got my head out of my ass. By this time the school year was almost starting so I just quit poker for about 1.5 months till school was about 2 weeks in. In school one day I kept thinking about that hand, how degenerative it was but also how I could have won $100 if the cards had gone my way. I decided I would reform. My parents had known about my poker to an extent but I never told, and still haven't, about this degeneracy. I just said one day that I didn't want to play and wanted to focus on being a kid. That was a lie. There was nothing I wanted more than to play poker and earn enough money to withdraw some. Unfortunately under my aliased account, that would never happen because to withdraw you needed to send a bunch of forms of ID and prove you were real, which I was not. Anyway, I started to forget about poker till one day I saw on twitch Doug Polk doing a bankroll challenge. He reignited my broken passion for poker. This is when I came forward to my dad with a request: to set up a poker account under his name on a new website with a real ($75) bankroll. I promised to be super responsible and would never tell anyone. This was different from my old alias account because I could eventually withdraw, making the money much more real to me. He agreed and I've been playing 2nl ever since. Happy to announce that I'm up a few bucks lifetime and hope to be moving up to 5nl soon enough. There a lot I left out of this story and I know most people won't read this whole thing but I just want to express how lonely it is to have such a passion and time-sunk into a hobby that is illegal and your friends think you're a dick for talking about. I just wanted to share this whole story with you all since my parents do not want to hear about and my friends sure as hell do not care. If I had one thing to say to an underaged person playing poker, don't do it. Just wait. It's not worth the stress of starting underage when you can just wait a few years. It's not worth the negative affects in social and academic life. It's not worth it period. There is nothing good to come from it besides a deeper knowledge of variance, which is the only thing I've applied in my everyday life as a 10th grader. TL;DR Played poker, thought I was good. Told all my friends how good I was. Friends called me asshole for always talking about and trying to get them to play poker. Made my life suck. Still love poker and reached the golden end of my underage poker tunnel. 3/10 would not reccomend
