High Stakes Poker - Patrik Antonius winning $600k…

August 31, 2006 | 1 Comment

Patrik Antonius was 2 nights ago on a winning streak, when he left Full Tilt he had over $800,000 on 2 tables combined, that makes him being up over $600,000.. pretty sick isn’t it? The main losers were looseslots, freetrees, Phil Ivey and others.

Congratulations Patrik, hopefully we’ll see you soon back on the tables!

————————————

Today I saw a sick hand on Prima’s $200/$400 No-Limit table, when lucypucy played against Kris85. Kris had the highsest possible flush, but lucy had the straight flush, how crazy is that?

—————————————–

I have an interview that I did with Prima’s Laaur2 that’s supposed to come out soon. Until that, good luck at the tables!

High Stakes Poker Interview with iRockHoes

August 29, 2006 | 2 Comments

I did an interview with iRockHoes, a $50/$100 and $100/$200 No-Limit player. He has basically made his name on Full Tilt. He is currently student at the University of Notre Dame, a senior and majoring in Finance. Scott used to be a waiter, but now poker is his sole income. Well, enough of introductions, here we go:

Name: Scott Augustine

Age: 21

Nationality: USA

Plays on Full Tilt as ‘iRockHoes’ and on UltimateBet as ’saugustine’.

How did you start your poker career? Any teachers? What was your age?

I started playing cards at an early age just for fun. My freshman year of high school, my friends started playing a regular game. We would play a lot of random games to keep things interesting like Acey Duecey, Guts, and Pass the Trash. The blinds/antes were small, and losing 20 dollars was a big loss. I was at best a break even player in these games. Then I came to college, and my dorm started a lot of frequent games. We would play .50/1.00 blinds no-limit hold ‘em, usually about 6-handed. By the second semester I was one of the biggest winners in the game. Then summer passed, not playing much at all. I really started learning the game in a serious fashion the first semester of my sophomore year. At the end of that semester, some of my friends started putting money on PartyPoker. I had them transfer me money a few times to try it out with no success. The last transfer of 50 dollars at 3 am from my roommate was the charm. Todd, my roommate, said, “We could study for our test that’s tomorrow…or I could 50 you (the minimum transfer allowed) on Party and we could play all night.” I chose the latter and the decision garnered my first success in online poker. I finished 3rd in a 30 dollar buy-in tournament for a 2700 dollar score. I haven’t looked back from that win. As far as who taught me to actually play hold ‘em happened when I was 15 when my friend Chris taught me the rules that he learned from Rounders. In reality, all my friends taught me how to play. Some players were too aggressive, while others were too passive. I picked up on things that worked for them and tried to piece together the best parts of everyone’s game.

How did you know it’s time for playing poker professionally?

Technically I am still a student, so I do not consider myself a professional when I am in school. I am a senior right now, however, and being that everyone in the games I play are playing for a living, I am probably going to pursue this as a career after school ends this May. I think turning pro is a decision not many can make without a lot of consideration to the aspects of going pro. There are a lot of downsides to playing pro, but I can’t imagine doing anything successfully if I had never given poker a chance. I think I would always wonder if I could have made it, and I need to at least give it a shot given my present success.

What do you consider being the most important thing for a new player (other than “knowing how to play”)?

The most important thing is to stay inside your bankroll. Even the best no-limit players need at least 20 max buy ins for the level they are playing. The more aggressive ones need even more. Once you are properly bankrolled, play as much as you can. Experience is the best teacher, as there are so many situations that occur that no one could write a book out about all of them. Success comes once you have logged thousands of hours at the tables. Multitabling 6 max tables helps you expediate this process, but you still need to practice as much as possible.

How much do you play in a week on average? How many hours per session?

I average about 4-5 hours a day, 7 days a week in the summer. I had to take a little time off in the summer for my brother’s wedding, but other than that I played pretty much every day. During school, I have a lot of obligations with class. Plus I still hit the bars with my friends and hang out with my girlfriend, so poker sometimes takes a backseat. I usually try to play almost every day, but the sessions are shorter and more sporadic.

How have you done recently in poker?

I hit my best streak ever at the end of April this year. I ran well and was playing amazing. Then at the end of July I hit a very cold streak. So cold that the streak made me take a break for a couple weeks. After that I have rebounded to almost my full bankroll before the cold streak, and I feel that I am playing some of the best poker of my career. As long as I stay away from the high pot-limit Omaha tables at Tilt, I should continue doing well.

You’re one of the most famous players on Full Tilt, have you always played in there? If you haven’t, where did you start and why did you decide to move to Full Tilt?

I started my career on Party. At the middle of January ’06, I had worked my bankroll up to about 22k. I had taken shots at Pokerroom and a few other sites, but I really liked the interface at Full Tilt. Also the draw of playing with named pros was intriguing to increase my game. I decided to take about 5k of my bankroll and transfer it over to Tilt. I was playing 3/6 and 5/10 at the time, and played well enough to work my bankroll up there. Today I play mostly on Full Tilt and Ultimate Bet, as they have the best combination of interface and frequency of games for high no-limit games.

Where did the name “iRockHoes” come from?

There is a song by Nas called “Ether.” In it Nas disses Jay-Z’s record label (Roc-a-fella) saying, “I rock hoes, ya’ll rock fellas.” I thought it was a sweet line so I used it as my screenname. Once I made the change I started winning, so I just rolled with it.

What do you think as the best/worst things being a poker pro?

Best thing is the freedom to set your own schedule, especially with internet poker now being so huge. You can log on and play anytime, anywhere. Another great thing about being a pro is the travel. I just completed my first trip to Vegas for the World Series and loved every aspect of it. The worst thing about being a pro is the lack of steady income. While I am still in college, I am not too dependant on an income. After school though, if I hit a downswing, bills still have to be paid. I think becoming a poker pro takes a unique combination of gamble and control. The more successful pros have mastered this balance, while the less successful ones still struggle with it.

What do you think you’d do if you weren’t a poker player?

I’d probably become a stock trader, or do some work with the market. I am a finance student and very interested in debt and equities. Once you get used to swings of hundreds of thousands, a job making 50k a year coming out of college is hard to take serious. If I can’t take it serious, I can’t be passionate and success will be very hard to come by. I have to at least try the pro thing, or else I’ll always wonder, “What if?”

What do you plan to do in the future? Anything special planned?

All future plans are on hold until I graduate in May. After that I will review my financial standing, and probably start to play some of the larger 10k events, as I really liked the live tournament atmosphere of the series. Hopefully I will continue my success from poker and more opportunities will arise from that success.

————————-

And then to the business. I_Knockout_U and Ulle11 played today $200/$400 No-Limit. I_Knockout_U (Patrik Antonius) literally “won” the session. Here are some hand-histories and screenshots:

I_Knockout_U has about $192,000 when ulle11 leaves.

————————————-

About 30 mins later ulle11 comes back, and the game starts again.

————————————-

Since Ulle11 left with $66,000, he comes back with it. He builds his stack to about $78,000. That just wasn’t enough, and he “lost” permanently after this hand:

I_Knockout_U raised for $1,000
ulle11 called for $800

ulle11 shows Three of a Kind, Threes (3d 3s 3h Qh 9c )
I_Knockout_U shows a Straight, Queen high (Qh Jc 10h 9c 8h )

I_Knockout_U wins $156,939 with a Straight, Queen high

So winning about $200,000 and a little more from Ulle11, I_Knockout_U (Patrik Antonius) leaves, and I guess he’s happy.

I have right now 2 great interviews, one with Full Tilt’s iRockHoes, and one with Prima’s Laaur2 waiting. They’re great, I’m gonna publish them very soon.

Random things

August 26, 2006 | 1 Comment

I got some random things to post right now, mainly from Full Tilt. I’ll post later today or tomorrow an interesting interview with Full Tilt’s “iRockHoes”, he plays No-Limit $50/$100 and $100/$200 so you can tell he’s a “big” player. It’s a good interview, you gonna see when you read it.

Umm, so, Matusow is apparently about $500,000 down today, at least that’s what he said on the chat. $500,000! That’s a big tilt. Matusow has been winning quite a lot in the past weeks, I truly hope that he didn’t play all his money.

I also know for a fact that David Benyamine (looseslots) is up over $1,000,000 in the last 2 weeks, and today he continued winning about $130,000 from Erik123 (on Full Tilt Erik1223). I would have the hand-history of that big $170,000 pot but my hand-history folder was unfortunately full. Now that happens to me only.

I haven’t got much else to say right now, hopefully there will be a big No-Limit game somewhere, plus the interview will be posted soon, so you’re all in good hands

I_Knockout_U - High Stakes Poker

August 25, 2006 | 2 Comments

Patrik Antonius as I_Knockout_U played on Prima for a long time, like 12 hours straight and is still sitting on the tables. He has had a piece of many players, including Fast_Freddie, durrrrr and dypwokp.

He started his day by talking a bit about some finnish pros, Aki Pyysing and Pasi Heinanen:

Someone asked Patrik “what he thinks about Aki Pyysing”, this is what Patrik answered:

I_Knockout_U> Pyysing = bald & tired man
I_Knockout_U> u can count Pyysings stack in tournaments
I_Knockout_U> starting stack minus blinds
I_Knockout_U> and then plus expectated aces what he can make with those

Someone also asked “what’s up with Pasi Heinanen”, Patrik answered:

I_Knockout_U> i guess pasi is in finland
I_Knockout_U> dunno much about his doings

He was asked about why he hasn’t been on B2B for some time, apparently:

I_Knockout_U> im broke in b2n now
Fast_Freddie> yea fish usally are

And like you see, that’s when Fast_Freddie sat down.

Fast_Freddie raised for $1,200
I_Knockout_U raised for $4,000
Fast_Freddie called for $3,000

Dealing the Flop(5d 9s Qh )

I_Knockout_U bet for $6,800
Fast_Freddie called for $6,800

Dealing the turn(8d )

I_Knockout_U bet for $17,200
Fast_Freddie went all-in for $28,599

Dealing the river(10s )

Fast_Freddie shows One Pair, Sevens (7d 7c Qh 10s 9s )
I_Knockout_U shows One Pair, Queens (Qh Qc Ks 10s 9s )

I_Knockout_U wins $79,597 with One Pair, Queens

———————————————

Now, Patrik obviously didn’t know that Fast_Freddie likes to hit n’ run. So following happens:

I_Knockout_U raised for $1,000
Fast_Freddie called for $800

Dealing the Flop(7s 2h Jc )

Fast_Freddie checked
I_Knockout_U bet for $1,600
Fast_Freddie called for $1,600

Dealing the turn(6h )

Fast_Freddie checked
I_Knockout_U bet for $4,800
Fast_Freddie called for $4,800

Dealing the river(Ac )

Fast_Freddie checked
I_Knockout_U bet for $14,400
Fast_Freddie called for $14,400

I_Knockout_U shows a high card, Ace (Ac Qh Jc 9h 7s )
Fast_Freddie shows One Pair, Jacks (Jc Jd Ac Qc 7s )

Fast_Freddie wins $43,999 with One Pair, Jacks

And now Fast_Freddie leaves the game, being up $8,000!

I_Knockout_U> who is that guy?

————————————————-

Well this doesn’t matter, because of dypwokp joins to the table.

During their playing, Fast_Freddie comes to the chat as observer. Someone says that Patrik is “the B2B hero”, so:

Ob♠erver Fa♠t_Fre♦♦ie> ♥e ju♠t ♠ai♦ ♥e i♠ bu♠t at b2b, u ♣alling ♥im b2b ♥ero? Ob♠erverFast_Freddie> funny fella
I_Knockout_U> i did withdraw a lot from the site…

Patrik also talks about the big game at Vegas which is played with blinds being $4,000/$8,000:

I_Knockout_U> i lost over one milj in a big 4k 8k game in one session
I_Knockout_U> but still up from the game
I_Knockout_U> i played almost everyday for one month thats why i wasnt playing online I_Knockout_U> chip rease is really good and barry is good
I_Knockout_U> ivey is super good i think in everything
I_Knockout_U> Matusow is a good JOKE
I_Knockout_U> but he is a funny guy

dypwokp raised for $1,200
I_Knockout_U called for $1,000

Dealing the Flop(4h 3c 9h )

I_Knockout_U checked
dypwokp bet for $2,800
I_Knockout_U raised for $8,400
dypwokp went all-in for $38,599
I_Knockout_U called for $32,999

Dealing the turn(4c )

Dealing the river(3h )

dypwokp shows Two Pair, Fours over Threes (4h 4c 3c 3h Ah )
I_Knockout_U shows a Full House, Fours full of Threes (4h 4c 4s 3c 3h )

I_Knockout_U wins $85,597 with a Full House, Fours full of Threes

————————————–

I_Knockout_U raised for $1,000
dypwokp called for $800

Dealing the Flop(7s 7c 10h )

dypwokp checked
I_Knockout_U bet for $1,600
dypwokp raised for $4,800
I_Knockout_U called for $3,200

Dealing the turn(8h )

dypwokp bet for $11,600
I_Knockout_U called for $11,600

Dealing the river(Ah )

dypwokp bet for $38,800
I_Knockout_U called for $38,800

dypwokp shows Two Pair, Sevens over Fours (7s 7c 4h 4s Ah )
I_Knockout_U shows Three of a Kind, Sevens (7s 7c 7h Ah Ks )

I_Knockout_U wins $112,799 with Three of a Kind, Sevens

————————————

After that dypwokp came back with some smaller pots, and when they quit, Patrik was about $20,000 up so dypwokp got almost everything back. They played for about 5 hour or so.

I went out, and when I came back I saw I_Knockout_U sitting with about $170,000. I immediatly ask the railbirds, and they told me that Patrik won all that from durrrrr.

Patrik’s playing with Fast_Freddie wasn’t over yet, and they started again in the table where Patrik had $170,000. Seems like Patrik and Fast_Freddie can’t stand each other either, just like Zweig and Fast_Freddie:

Fast_Freddie raised for $1,200
I_Knockout_U raised for $4,000
Fast_Freddie called for $3,000

Dealing the Flop(10h 3d 5h )

I_Knockout_U bet for $6,800
Fast_Freddie went all-in for $42,393
I_Knockout_U called for $35,593

Dealing the turn(3c )

Dealing the river(8c )

Fast_Freddie shows Two Pair, Eights over Threes (8c 8s 3d 3c 10h )
I_Knockout_U shows Two Pair, Queens over Threes (Qh Qd 3d 3c 10h )

I_Knockout_U wins $93,585 with Two Pair, Queens over Threes

Patrik just left the tables now, hopefully he’ll sleep and be back after that

Here’s an interesting Full Tilt hand, I finally figured out the hand-history thing in there so in future I will submit a lot more of Full Tilt reports:

High Stakes Poker - Lodden (bad_ip) wins

August 24, 2006 | 1 Comment

I have only one hand history from this game between bad_ip and dypwokp, since there really weren’t any bigger hands. bad_ip won a few $20,000 and $30,000 pots and he was winning clearly, but had to stop cause of he wanted to watch Man. United’s season opening match.

So here’s the hand history:

dypwokp raised for $1,200
bad_ip called for $1,000

Dealing the Flop(10s 5s 2h )

bad_ip checked
dypwokp bet for $2,800
bad_ip called for $2,800

Dealing the turn(7s )

bad_ip checked
dypwokp bet for $8,800
bad_ip called for $8,800

Dealing the river(Jd )

bad_ip checked
dypwokp went all-in for $28,566
bad_ip called for $28,566

dypwokp shows a high card, Queen (Qh Jd 10s 9s 7s )
bad_ip shows a Flush, Spades (As Js 10s 7s 5s )

bad_ip wins $83,131 with a Flush, Spades

————————————

Picture from: WorldPokerTour.com

After the long “battles” with bad_ip a.k.a. Johnny Lodden he disappeared from Prima, now Patrik Antonius is finally back as I_Knockout_U. He didn’t get too much action though. Someone came with a short stack to the table and lost them quickly. Here’s a screenshot of “the Patrik Antonius Prima Comeback”.

—————————————

Fast_Freddie showed up on Full Tilt, playing against looseslots. They were playing $200/$400 Pot-Limit Omaha, Freddie lost this pot and quit after that. Hopefully he’ll be back soon!

—————————————–

If these guys see each other, I’m serious, there will be a fight. 100% there will be.

I also found out that the player “looseslots” on Full Tilt is David Benyamine. It’s nice to finally know who he is. Here’s a hand that he won from Smarx today:

What else.. hmm.. John D’Agostino is up like $180,000 today, pretty nice.

I guess that’s it for now, later everyone!

Looselots getting smoked again - This time by Gus Hansen

August 22, 2006 | 2 Comments

There are six people sitting in the Full Tilt Poker 200/400 PL omaha right now including Gus Hansen and Ram Vaswani. Phil Ivey just left the table.

Gus Hansen is sitting with $215,000 right now off of a $40,000 buy in! He had already took out looselots for $70k, and then he rivered him for another $70k!

You know that looselots bought right back in for another $40k too. Will keep you updated.

Smarx (Steven Marx) Takes $170 k from Looseslots, Phil Ivey and others last night at Full Tilt

August 21, 2006 | Leave a Comment

Smarx.com, Cardplayer.com

When smarx and looseslots first sat down at the $200/$400 PL omaha table heads up at Full Tilt Poker, I knew I was in for a treat. Looseslots is known to be a loose gambler in the high stakes poker world. They both bought in for roughly $25,000 to start off , at the $40,000 max tables.

Right off the bat, smarx dominated. I mean he DOMINATED. After 10 minutes, the stacks were

Smarx: $50k

Looseslots: $0

Looseslots then rebuys for $20k and loses that in about 20 minutes. Again, smarx is inside of looseslots head at this point. I never saw smarx lose a big pot at this point in the game. The stacks now look like this :

Smarx: $70k

Looseslots: $0

Looseslots immediately rebuys for $40k and now it’s on. While Looseslots rebuys again, he loses a $40k pot to Phil Ivey on the $100/$200 nl table. Try not to bluff Phil Ivey, it’s one of the best poker lessons you’ll ever learn.

Then in comes Phil Ivey to the $200/$400 table and you know smarx is thinking “WHY!” when he is literally smoking looseslots who is playing too many tables at once to be playing heads up with a sharp Steven Marx. As soon as Phil Ivey sits down, however, Looseslots continues to tilt and Smarx reaches 130k!

Ivey does very well at first, however, after a while he starts to lose to smarx and Looseslots. Eventually Ivey says goodnight after going bust, but then he just continues to play anyways (happens to the best of us!) . At this point another player sits down with 20k and loses it FAST to looseslots. Although looseslots takes a bad beating at first, he does manage to work his way up to past $100k again. All the while , smarx is still raking it in off phil ivey, looseslots and anyone else willing to sit in the game.

When the game is all said and done 7 hours later smarx says “You won’t be mad if I go to sleep will you?”. They stop playing.
Final Chip counts:
Smarx: $201,700

Looseslots: $106,000

Congratulations to Steven Marx, and for looseslots still a respectable comeback considering how he started off.
