OT: Poker--Played with a WSOP Champ tonight
A buddy of mine hosts a quarterly no-limit tournament. He's pretty good friends with a guy named Pat Poels who won a bracelet in this year's WSOP--I think Event #3 or 4, pot limit omaha.
Tonight was his "summer" tournament. We had four tables at his place. I drew the card for the seat immediately to the left of Poels--who incidentally ended up being a very nice guy. The highlight of my night was going in over the top of him on a big pre-flop raise and him folding. Ultimately, I made the final table, as did Poels. He systematically worked the table. I went out in fourth, with a small profit. Ultimately, he went out in third, after having his 6-5o bluff called by pocket queens. He then lost a race with pocket fives to A-6 to go out. Fun night with the pseudo-poker celeb mixed in. |

Was he wearing his bracelet for intimidation?

He wore the bracelet (but I think largely because the host had asked him to). Early in the tournament when he was in a hand with someone, he would jiggle the bracelet or use it to reflect a glare onto the player. Good stuff. |

Pat is playing at the final table of the $1000 SHOE tournament today in Vegas.
He's one of the short stacks, after losing a big pot late last night in Stud. If he can somehow pull through and win the table, it would be his third bracelet--he won a Stud 8 or better bracelet last year as well. Go Pat go! |

I'm actually good friends with Greg Raymer's brother and have hung out with Greg several times, mainly in Vegas. On one occasion, he was back in KC and played in a small buy-in home game with us. He took it just as seriously as a big tourney, but chatted a bit more often than he usually does. Really down-to-earth guy. Very dry and funny sense of humor.
