MTT WSOP Seat Winner!

Posted By : CarbonPoker March 9th, 2009

You like tournaments. You play alot of them. Multi-table ones – the bigger the better. You rack up points for the MTT leaderboard. Somehow you find yourself with a decent amount of points, and finish the month with a rush to push up into the top 100 on the leaderboard. You make it in at number 87.

So with unique starting chipstacks your not sitting to well for the grandfinal tournament considering there is over $12,500 in prizes on the line. Damn it would be good to win this and go to the WSOP. But in stark reality chances are looking bleak when there are 86 skilled poker players stacked above you. You register and start the tournament, noticing that out of the 12 people stacked lower than you only 4 show up. So your 5th from the bottom and half the stack of the chip leaders. Not good.

Though you play well, tight, taking chances when the opportunity presents them. You go on to make the half way mark, the final 20, the top 10 and final table. Its down to heads up and your still in and shortly later you pocket a $12,500 package to the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas.

this is the story of robin1989 in the recent MTT leaderboard final. Congratulations and well done on an excellent effort.

3009 Universal Poker Tournament : Looking at ones cards is a crutch for players who rely on skill

Posted By : CarbonPoker March 4th, 2009

Welcome all to the 3009 Universal Poker Championship, well lets not waste any time and get down to play.


Boobs Vanderbuilt has a decent pair, also she has pair of 8’s…


Holy “#$%√” a stunning play by mentally ill new comer Phillip Fry, laying down pocket kings, its almost as if he knew Bender Rodriguez had two aces!


ALL-IN, CALL MY MIGHTY BET AT YOUR PERIL!


Tex Connecticut moves all in…
Bender; “wait this is the worst possible hand right *shows 72*, Allin! I mean Fold! Whatever…”
The flop comes A, 8, Q.
Commentator Penn Jillete, ” well there we have it folks Bender’s luck has finally run out, no card can save him now”
*see below*….


The final hand of the tournament is dealt, its heads up between Fry and Bender. Fry, if you havent figured it out has the ability to read minds and Bender is made of 30% lucky horse shoes from he luckiest race horses in his native Mexico.

Bender, moves all in.
Fry reads his mind only to discover that he hasnt looked at his cards.
“What! but you havent even looked at your cards!”
“Looking at ones cards is a crutch for players who rely on skill,” states Bender
All in calls fry.
The flop – KKA
Turn K
River A…

“Yes!” yells Fry, “4 Aces!”
“uh uh uh,” Chimes bender as Fry reaches for the chips. “read em and weep! and then tell me what they are…” says Bender.

“Two Kings!” says the Dealer, “and with three on the board, that give Bender 5 Kings”
