The First winner of the WSOP 1970

 1974 Binions Horseshoe Johnny Moss , Chill Wills , Armirillo Slim , Jack  Binion , and  Puggy Pearson 

Moss had grown up with Benny Binion in Texas and the two were life long friends. In 1949 the world’s most famous gambler, Nick “The Greek” Dandalos, arrived at Binion’s Horseshoe Casino looking to play high stakes heads up poker. Binion immediately knew that Johnny Moss was the man to play him. In what would become poker’s most famous game, the precursor to the WSOP, Nick the Greek and Moss would play a five month long heads up match.

Binion, a master of publicity, put them in front of the casino to attract tourists and gamblers alike. No official records were kept but it’s guessed that Moss beat the Greek out of four million dollars before an exhausted Dandalos rose from the table and spoke poker’s most famous quote, “Mr. Moss, I have to let you go.”

Wsop 1973 pretty crappy youtube but interesting to watch .

Boost up the Bankroll

Well, I used up some of my VIP Points to enter this $11.00 tourney and Ran deep, placed 3rd out of 163 players  for $240.00 which will help the Bankroll a little bit . Other than that my cash game sessions this month are still not going to well . But I feel the cards will start holding for me soon. I have a hard time staying positive but I have been using my 3 buyin stop loss rule this month and that has helped a bunch . You can always win back 3 buyins within a day or two , but if you just keep getting stuck in a 6-7 buyin session it's tough to make it back up later I have noticed at least for myself ..

I Also got in the money on a few other ones with using my VIP points this  month.

 

5th place out of 70 players

 

23rd place out of 208 players

10th out of 104players

So have had some good relaxing time playing the MTT's well i'm not grinding the cash tables . Not much else to say about my poker game just trying to build up my bankroll , but some money should be coming soon to get one or two 24" monitors to add to my 17.3" laptop . I am not sure which way im going to go thought about a 24" tv here http://www.walmart.com/ip/Element-24-Class-LED-1080p-60Hz-HDTV-1-7-8-ultra-slim-ELEFW244/20510627  or one or two of these monitors http://www.walmart.com/ip/AOC-2436VW/13060462  what do you guys think or they also have two 19" monitors here http://www.walmart.com/ip/AOC-19-LED-Widescreen-Dual-Monitor-Bundle-includes-2-Monitors/20923937

 Anyhow see you at the tables . Thanks for reading Chris

To Hold, then not Too LOl

Nice To have A solid hand get even more solid weeeeeeeeeee Great Play Sir Great Play .

Iced runner, runner, runner

In one session only 579 hands just been typical lately . lose three buyins right off the batt . Lose lose lose .

I don't know what to do Fckkkkkkkkkkk me

I am pretty much totally frustrated with the game right now. I haven't done this bad in a year. I am so upset with the game right now I have changed hand opening  ranges, tried everything I know. But can't win lately . I totally have lost my self confidence at the tables seems I lose period doesn't matter what I do period . Beginning of last month I was up pretty good than shit went right down hill . The table selection sucks right now and I am also having to play 6max which sucks ass poker . Guess it doesn't matter though cuzz I have sucked lately. i am taking out $300.00 to buy a bigger monitor maybe two 24" ones not sure yet . But have to play 10nl right now until I build my shit bankroll that I have left back up. Not much else to say but I really hate poker right now and have never felt this way before about it . One thing I am doing if I get bad beat at the table is to instantly stop and do 15 situps before I get back up and play again lol . So at least I am getting a lot of exercise in since I get bad beat almost every hand now . Hope everyone else's game is going going way better than mine. Chris : ( :(

Ps: sorry for the cussing but have to let it all out that's what my blogs for .
