Amanda Baker in the 2009 World Series of Poker Ladies Championship

Amanda “Mandy B” Baker finished 11th in the Sunday Mulligan

There’s no point hiding my favortism here in this space, on a weekly basis I’m pulling for a big score from a member of Team Full Tilt or one of the big online grinders.  If I’m going to be staying up until the wee hours of the morning watching online poker I would love to turn it into a great story.  Amanda “Mandy B” Baker gave me the best chance for some fun last night but fell just short, finishing 11th in the The Sunday Mulligan.  There were two former FTOPS winners at that final table in uuhhhicall and Pot Odds 3 making things a little interesting but neither was able to bring home the big score.

It’s not that I don’t enjoy watching thousands of players and even more railbirds tear up the tables throughout the busy Sunday.  It’s a blast watching some of the plays still occurring in the Double Deuce and the reactions.  Obviously I am desitined to spend my remaining days from the rail because I’ve clearly lost touch with how to play.  I witnessed a stunning play were Player A flopped the mortal unbreakable nuts with three aces on the board matching his weak ace.  In a situation where you would expect him/her to extract some value from the hand, Player A overshoved 100BB’s into the pot.  It’s the new “overbet for value” play because Player B paid off the move.

Your hero humble blogger did make a long run in several tournaments but have nothing spectacular to report.  At one point when I was on the short side I started hitting like a monster.  Shortstacked KJo flopped broadway then ATs flopped yonder flush.  I was well on my way to a fine result when my QQ nailed a flopped Q against kings only to run into the dreaded four flush.  Quite uneventful but enjoyable none the less.

Sunday did see over $1,700,000 in prize money and 18,000 players across just the Big Money Sunday major tournaments (yes, I personally include the 10,000+ player Double Deuce in there).  Play across the online world seems to be picking up over the last few weeks and only looks to increase.  miniFTOPS is right around the corner and the fields are sure to be huge.  I certainly plan to take a few shots at the events looking for a big score for low buyin.

    Al — Hope all is well. Wanted to catch up a few months out of the WSOP. Hit me up on e-mail. I’ve been running cold as ice since out of WSOP but managing to stay above my desired profit line for 2009. I’m making a run to play in a bunch of 2011 WSOP events since I can’t play next year (Beth and I are getting married in July and it’s PROBABLY not a good idea to leave town with less than a month to go before the wedding to play poker tournies :-) .)

    Would love to contribute to the blog again in some way, shape, or form!

    Edit by AlCantHang: Sean, congrats to you and Beth on the engagement. I’ll drop you a line.
