GCPC Results continued


09.03.10
CONTINUING WITH OUR UPDATES OF THE WINNERS OF THE GCPC. This go round a number of GCP.NET guys showed up in the results and on the bubble. Great job guys.
EVENT 5 CHOPPING BROCCOLI: Okay, so there was no Broccoli but we know from Will "The Poker Monkey" Souther's blog this tournament was also chopped. Steven Marshall of Cumming, GA, who took a break from online poker, is credited for first place and a 22k payout.
Herbie Crook of Pascagoula, MS credited for third place and 6.7k. Robert Habisreitinger of Covington, LA was credited for 5th. Barron Whipple and Poker Monkey also cashed (and chopped?).

EVENT 6 CHAMBERS LIMIT CHAMPION: Walter Chambers won the Limit Hold'Em event. The former circuit event champion (pictured) added a limit title to his resume and 5.6k for first. Two Houstonians Kevin Kaylor and Joey Carlson came in second and third. Douglas Saab of Trussville, AL and Daniel Carney of Long Beach, MS rounded out the top five.
EVENT 7 SOLE SURVIVOR THE POKER MONKEY: Okay, this tournament was chopped too. Course this was a survivor tournament and that's what a survivor tournament does. The Poker Monkey ended up with the most chips and the Beau Rivage sailboat for first place.
Mohammed Moeini (Gulfport, MS), Gerald Bergeron (Houma, LA), Tam Nguyen (Hammond, LA), Kerri Dorsey (Gautier, MS nice job Kerri), Charles Hayes (Biloxi, MS), and Mary Prats (Mandeville, LA) all made the cut.
GCP's own John "Price is Right" Price just missed out on the money and the chop that preceded the final 20. Yes, we understand even the survivor tournament which is chopped by definition was chopped early.
EVENT 8 OMAHA HIGH LOW: Jacob Viccellio of Pride,LA was credited with first place. "Thunder Dan" Daniel Walsh of Powder Springs, GA credited for second. Mark Wilds of Biloxi, MS made his obligatory appearance in the money in 4th. Phillip Cornell of D'Iberville, MS was 6th and James Alello of Baton Rouge, LA 9th.
EVENT 9 QUICK WINS THE PLAYED OUT TOURNAMENT. Fairly certain there was no chop in this event. Jim "Sarge" Quick won just under 22k for first. John Riola of Biloxi, MS 5k for fourth. GCPer Jason Lipscomb of Ponchatoula, LA won 3.6k for 6th (great run Jason). Tim Louie of Metaire, Briant Fontana of Slidell and Peter Barrell of Mandeville, were the three Lousianians first out at th final table. Danny Doucet, Clint Schaffer, our own Gene D, and Bert Ladner were some of the big local names that cashed in this event. Brian Heptinstall was THE bubble boy losing QQ to AJ all-in preflop.
EVENT 10 YEAGER SHOTS. Grady Yeager of Cape Coral, FL won the Seven Card Stud/Seven Card 8 or Better Mix. Daniel Prejean of Port Allen, LA was second. Soon to be a GCPer again Kai Landry of Biloxi, MS was third. Kirk Flom of Gulfport, MS finished in the money in fourth.

Crapped on the Head and Kicked in the teeth part 2

I walk to the car, try to metaphorically wipe the bird crap off my shoulders and contemplate how my bankroll got severely lightened on the day. I recall the fun hands where I got hurt, such as the one when I raised preflop and got a few callers. Flop was 882. I fire out an almost pot size bet and I get a caller. Turn is another 2. I make the same bet and get a call. River is 6 or so. I check, he checks. I show 99. Dealer is about to hand me the pot as he shows 7-2. He points to the deuce for her benefit and the turned full house. At first I think he's doing it for me rubbing it in a bit. My frustration is evident and I fire him a look, then I realize who is dealing, and see that she still almost swept me the pot. She of the 8 deals per 30 minutes and two mistakes per down. You know who she is. The dealer you are suprised to see every time you play there thinking she'd be fired. Still, I wanted to be angry at the dude as even though he wasn't showing me up he was destroying ...

Ecletic Musings - Random Bits

Neuroeconomics - What? I'm always interested in why people make decisions. How many times have you seen an opponent who otherwise seems completely rational act entirely irrational. Apparently, this is a human trait and it confounds economists. For a while there was a thought that certain animals would make better investors and game players than humans. Well, the decisions of poker players or guys who make online sports betting decisions can be equally as irrational. So basically, the neurologists and economists got together and started comparing notes on what happens in a huge system (on a macro level) and inside one person's head (probably as micro as you can get). Here's a cursory overview . Definitely a topic I'm going to read a little more into when I get time. TED Talks - while I'm trying to appear brainy, I'm in love with TED talks. For the last year I've downloaded their talks onto my iPod and watch them before going to sleep most nights. If you hav...
