Mizzy lost a pot and was down to 68 K when he plaid his last hand.

Blinds 1200/ 2400 Ante 300, Captain Mizzi raised to 6 K in middle position. The player in high-jack position reraised to 17 K and Mizzi pushed all-in for 53 K more.

Opponent: 10♦10♠

The board: 2♦5♠6♠5♣7♦

So it is over for Team Titan Pro here in Barcelona for this WPT 2010 but we will see you soon for the WSOP in Las Vegas.

Transitioning from Online to Live Tournament Poker

With the World Series of Poker quickly approaching, there’s a lot of discussion among online poker players about how to make adjustments in order to play effectively in the live arena.  When I first played live for significant money, I truly had no clue about the differences between live and online poker.  I did however have a good head on my shoulders and clearly thought through what my approach would be from top to bottom.  I went and grabbed every book I could find on live poker, and I spent a lot of time thinking about how to address the situations I would encounter in live poker that differed from online.

Poker stars and  their tv shows.
Even after all these years of poker on television, I’m amazed at the number of people who want to watch other people play cards. I’ve played in a few tournaments in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, so it’s not like I have anything against Texas Hold-em, but the only reason this event held my interest was because it was on opposite the O’s.
I mean, did they really need a slow-motion replay of runner-up Eric Seidel tossing in a stack of chips? Not unless some Jeffrey Maier wannabe lunged out of the crowd and caught them before they reached the pot.
US Poker Sites Battle Intensifies.
Nobody expected it to be smooth sailing for online poker proponents, and strong criticism continues to be heard across the board. Rep. Spencer Bachus gave an interview to ABC News last week, saying that he would be continuing his fight against online poker as long as he was able.“Internet poker is the crack cocaine of gambling,” said Bachus. “Young people are particularly vulnerable – we don’t want to put a casino in every dorm room in the country. Compulsive gambling, by many accounts, is a very serious, growing problem.”In the meantime, the Poker Players Alliance continues to push its petition to the Federal Reserve and the Department of Treasury to exempt online poker from the UIGEA.
World Series of Poker Look Out — Annette Obrestad.
Obrestad clearly hopes to change that. She says she’s going to try to play as many of the small no-limit hold’em events as she can, in addition to the PLO events and perhaps some of the smaller stud events. She says she’ll likely skip out on the big H.O.R.S.E. or eight-game events, because she doesn’t have as much faith in her mixed-games skills.
The Norwegian pro isn’t making any big predictions or promises as she is poised to begin her first Series, saying the goal is to just play her best. But many eyes will be focused on her, watching and waiting for her next big result.

A car of Van Marcus had been stolen from Crown Casino Melbourne.

The thief was arrested soon – Adam Ramsey had been caught at the gas station six hours later.
