Sorel Far, Sorel Good

"I hope you're going to write good stuff about me today," requested Sorel Mizzi. Although aghast by the mere insinuation that I wouldn't, I've decided to play it safe...

... Sorel Mizzi is fantastic, brilliant, awesome, marvelous, and any other complimentary adjectives that the thesaurus can throw at me.

To be honest though, he doesn't need my false praise, as his chips are doing the talking so far. Raising it up to 350 preflop with pocket nines, Sorel found one caller before leading out for 550 on an 8-8-8 flop. Again, his opponent flat called. On the ten turn, Sorel check-called 2,000, before check-calling 4,000 on the king river. It was a good call in the end, as his opponent could only muster J-6 for the bluff. "That's what I would have put him on," I added tongue in cheek.

Either way, Sorel has shot out of the blocks with 17,000 in chips.
