I Want to be like Steicke

If Poker was big time mainstream sports - David Steicke would sell more jerseys than LeBron and Kobe combined.

The guy just brings that special style to poker that makes the other players on the table look obsolete.

He was at it again recently chipping up through Michael Tureniec. Tureniec had opened to 2,200 from the button taking both of the blinds - David Steicke and Jim Sachinidis to the flop.

The flop was {7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and they checked it around, moving to the {4-Hearts} turn. On the turn Turniec bet out to 4,200 after both of his rivals had checked. Steicke called with Sachinidis folding.

The river {3-Clubs} saw Steicke check again, and his opponent decided not to risk it checking behind. Steicke rolled over {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades} to take the pot down with his ace kicker over Tureniec's {j-Spades}{9-Diamonds}.

Steicke has 78,500 and better soul reading abilities than you.

You Can't Always Get What You Want

Media row seems to draw whingers like magnets. Just recently two guys stopped by the media desk and were having a rather loud conversation that was impossible not to overhear.

"Man, what am I supposed to do, the dealers are so slow, you get like 25 hands an hour", said one of the guys.

"I'm not going to play the computer tables (PokerPro), it's not real cards", said his buddy.

We're guessing they don't play online either, "because its rigged".

Who Can Call Time?

An interesting situation just occured with a player in the tank pondering a decision. After a good while the dealer decided the game had to move on, so called time on the player.

The player became irate at this and the table exploded into debate over whether the dealer could call time on the player or not.

When the supervisor was called to the table, he explained that the dealer was not allowed to call time on the player in that situation, and the rabble died down.

For the record the raiser in the hand wanted the player to take his time.

Kelly Unlucky

Aidan Kelly was unlucky not to double up recently.

All of the action occured preflop with a middle position short-stack moving in with {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. The button smooth called the all in and Kelly then re-shoved from the big blind. After pondering the decision for a while the button open mucked {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}.

It turned out to be a great fold, Kelly looked dejected turning over {Q-Spades}{q-Clubs}. Things were no better for the all in player after Kelly flopped a set, on the {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop, and then turned quads on the {q-Hearts} turn. The river was the {2-Diamonds}.

Kelly has 55,000 and could have had some more except for a good fold from the player on the button.

Danielsson Done

Kamyar Ekram is a bloggers best friend. He's bringing the eliminations, and he is bringing them in bulk.

Ekram's added Deuces Cracked member and bounty Chuck Danielsson to the notches on his belt. On a flop of {4-Clubs}{7-Spades}{9-Diamonds} all the chips went in with Danielsson's {4-Spades}{4-Hearts} feeling some set over set pain against Ekram's {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}.

There would be some good news for Danielsson - there's a HORSE tomorrow, but there will be no more action from him today.

Channing Cans an Opponent

Good news for our British friends. Neil Channing has just moved up to 80,000 after an opponent ran {A-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} into Channing's {A-Clubs}{k-Spades}.

The {k-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop left his opponent in bad shape. The {6-Hearts} turn and {8-Spades} river gave the Brit two pair and more weapons for the arsenal.
