I never posted my finish in the main event from November 

 

I got 28th for 7400.00

 

Then yesterday in another WSOP event I got 15th

Good job!  

[OILERMAN]

I was off this past week and played in 4 tournaments and cashed in 2 of them. The aforementioned 15th place for 491.00 and chopped the 200.00 Winstar deep stack for $3434.00.

**With this trick you will almost never lose with a draw again 

 

Tired of not getting there with your draws and losing so much money in the process? In that case you have come at the right place. For this to work all you need to know are the odds of hitting whatever it is you are chasing. So let's say you flop a flush draw, that gives you a 1/3 chance of making a flush on the river.

Now equipped with this powerful information what you need to do in order to make 100% of your flush draws is to simply fold them 2 out of 3 times on the flop. That takes care of the times we don't make a flush so you are left with a 100% chance.

Keep in mind this does not mean you will have 100% equity since someone obviously could have a bigger flush or make a full house along the way. Which is a good thing to be honest cuz otherwise people might suspect you are cheating.

Came here to post that as well. Legend.

[SleepingTitan]

He was a legend for sure, but the Super System is way too loose for my liking. I'm a trash tourney player. Most of my success has been in 1-2, 2-5 no limit cash. 6 handed if I can find it.

[OILERMAN]

Super System is still useful but also outdated to some extent. The tournaments are so deep stacked now it requires more of a small ball strategy. 

 

I haven't been able to play in a while but I'm playing Sunday in "The River" at Winstar, it's a 1k buy in

Super System--I read Super System 2 on a plane to Vegas.  I had more than one player stand up screaming frustration when I turned over shit like 7,4os and cracked their AA.  I started using it again and I was kicking ass.  Then something happened and I was pouring money like an ATM.

Played in the 1k Winstar Labor Day River main event this past weekend. Made day 2, 25 players made day 2 out of 178 players. 

 

1st was 30k

 

I went out 15th, all in with QQ against AK, K on the turn. Really big pot that would have given me a good chance at the final table

An amateur poker player who falsely claimed to have terminal cancer and received thousands of dollars in donations to participate in a Las Vegas World Series of Poker event has confessed to fabricating the entire story.

Rob Mercer admitted to concocting a stage 4 colon cancer diagnosis for his GoFundMe campaign in June, as reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

"I falsely claimed to have colon cancer. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision when someone asked about my health," Mercer acknowledged.

Hailing from Vallejo, California, Mercer aimed to gather sufficient funds for the $10,000 buy-in for the No-limit Hold'em World Championship. He amassed donations ranging from $30,000 to $50,000, even securing a stay in a Bellagio suite. Despite this, the 37-year-old has chosen not to refund donator, saying online that he believes he might have undiagnosed breast cancer.

At this point anyone who gives to a random gofundme deserved to have their money taken.

 

There was a story out here a few years ago where a husband set up a gofundme for his wife who was sick in the hospital with some rare disease.  They needed donations to pay for the medical care because insurance wouldn't cover a lot of it.

 

The husband eventually used the donations to remodel their house and start an Air BNB side business.

He sounds like one of the guys I used to play poker with.
