Young star Tom Dwan goes up against pokers bad boy Phil Hellmuth in a 100k$ pot.

As strong as the pull was, I didn’t jump on the train returning to Akasaka. While I may have done some heedlessly impetuous, stupid things in my life, I still had the sense to understand how lamming it would only make my plight worse than it already was. As the lawyer Adachi had pointed out three days earlier: if the cops had intended to arrest me, they would have done so by now. The fact that I was still free suggested that the cops were willing to give me the benefit of the doubt. It wasn’t much, but as the say, a drowning man will catch at straws, and I was flailing about trying to grab onto anything that might give me hope.

Emerging through the wicket gate at Hakata Station, I took the card that Ozawa’s had given me the morning of the raid out of my wallet and studied the map printed on the back of it. The Narcotics Crime Squad’s office was only five-minutes’ walk away from the station.

I climbed a flight of stairs, coming onto the main concourse of the station which was crowded with families and couples and groups of friends. While some schlepped suitcases and others had rucksacks on their backs, their faces lifted up with anticipation.

If only I were going with them.

I headed out the Chikushino exit at the rear of the station and turned right down a narrow one-way street lined with pachinko parlors and cheap izakaya. Raggle-taggle clumps of men, looking like death warmed over, milled about the entrances of the pachinko parlors. The noisy gaming joints wouldn’t open for another hour and a half, but these sorry losers were already queuing up in the slim hope that the early bird would catch the machine that paid out the most.

Good luck!

Beyond the pachinko parlors, down a road and past a massive discount electronics store, I came to a wide thoroughfare. I was now only a few blocks away. My heartbeat quickened, the muscles in my chest tightened, my mouth grew dry.

How many times had I tried to contact my cousin? I’d lost count. Either my timing was awful, or Naila just wasn’t answering her phone. I suspected it was the latter. Not because my cousin was a flake, but rather because she had a habit of avoiding problems rather than facing them square on. She was young and had a lot to learn. Thanks to that youth, unfortunately, I was on my own and now heading into the interrogation blind. Her corroboration, more than anything, would have meant the difference between my getting off scot-free and getting thrown into the slammer. Without it, I was entering a high-stakes poker game not knowing if I had an ace in the hole or the old maid.

“Plan A”, claiming to be as innocent as the driven snow, wouldn’t work if Naila weren’t going to back me up and could even backfire on me. No, I’d to go with “Plan B”, instead, and make a powerful act of contrition for venial sins committed and pray the mortal ones never see the light of day.

The first season of High Stakes Poker, taped at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas, was first broadcast in January 2006 and consisted of 13 episodes, hosted by A. J. Benza and comedian/actor-turned-poker pro Gabriel Kaplan. The second season, taped at The Palms and consisting of 16 episodes, premiered on June 5, 2006. The third season, consisting of 13 episodes, was taped at the South Point Casino and premiered on January 15, 2007. New players for the third season included Jamie Gold, Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson, Patrik Antonius, Paul Wasicka, David Benyamine, Brian Townsend and others. Returning players from previous seasons included Doyle Brunson, Daniel Negreanu, Sammy Farha, Phil Laak, Jennifer Harman, Barry Greenstein, Erick Lindgren, Mike Matusow, Brad Booth and others.

On April 2, 2007 GSN announced that High Stakes Poker would return for a fourth season, again taped at South Point. Taping was completed in May 2007, and the season premiered on August 27, 2007. Returning players included Patrik Antonius, David Benyamine, Doyle Brunson, Eli Elezra, Sam Farha, Jamie Gold, Barry Greenstein, Phil Hellmuth Jr., Jennifer Harman and Daniel Negreanu. Newcomers for the fourth season include Brandon Adams, Mike Baxter, Brian Brandon, Phil Galfond, Guy Laliberté, Bob Safai, Antonio Salorio and Haralabos Voulgaris. The later episodes of this season featured a $500,000 minimum buy-in (compared to the regular $100,000 minimum) and these games saw more than $5 million in play on the table at one time. Season four finished airing on December 17, 2007 and featured 17 episodes. The network cited the show’s strong ratings performance in younger demographics. Season 5, which ran from March 1, 2009 through May 24, 2009, was taped at the Golden Nugget and featured a minimum cash buy-in of $200,000 – the largest buy-in for an entire run of a television series. The format for season 5 differed slightly from its predecessors by having Kaplan and Benza not appear on camera until after the first commercial break in the show, rather than at the outset. Season 6 has been confirmed, and filming is scheduled to take place in October/November 2009 to air February 2010.

From Wikipedia

Format

When it first aired, High Stakes Poker was unique among televised poker series because it did not take place in a tournament setting. Instead, the program showed a high stakes ring game. The minimum buy-in to the game is US$100,000, but players have bought in for as much as $1,000,000, such as Daniel Negreanu in Season 1 and Brad Booth in Season 3. For part of the fourth season, the minimum buy-in was $500,000. The first episode with the minimum $500,000 buy-in was broadcast on November 5, 2007. The minimum cash buy-in for the fifth season increased to $200,000 – the largest buy-in for an entire run of a television series. Unlike tournament poker, the chips involved represent real money. If a player loses his initial buy-in, that player may rebuy a minimum of $50,000. In addition, players may use cash instead of casino chips. Cash plays and stays as cash in the pot; it does not have to be converted into casino chips. Unlike tournament poker, blinds and antes are constant, instead of increasing as time goes on. High Stakes Poker has $300/$600 blinds with a $100 ante. The fourth season features three forced blinds of $300, $600 and $1,200, with a “straddle” or optional fourth blind of $2,400.

The players include poker professionals along with amateurs such as Jerry Buss and Fred Chamanara. The show was created by executive producer Henry Orenstein. In season one, Daniel Negreanu confirmed in a post on his website’s forums that all players were paid $1,250 per hour for taking part and that 13 episodes were edited down from 24 hours of actual play. 2006 WSOP Main Event Champion Jamie Gold commented that players were paid for participating, though they had to put much more money at risk to get to play the game. Gold also spoke about his interactions with other players, particularly Mike Matusow. The theme song for the show is titled “I’m All In”, written and performed by John Pratt, Los Angeles.

Notable hands

In Season 2, Gus Hansen won $575,700 with four fives, beating Daniel Negreanu’s full house. Hansen raised to $2,100 with 5♦ 5♣, and Negreanu re-raised to $5,000 with 6♠ 6♥, which Hansen called. The pot was $11,700, and the flop came 9♣ 6♦ 5♥. Hansen checked his set of fives with a 4% chance of winning the hand and Negreanu bet $8,000 with his set of sixes and a 94% chance of winning the hand. Hansen raised over the top to $26,000 and Negreanu called, bringing the pot to $63,700. The turn came 5♠, making Hansen quad fives, leaving Negreanu a 2% underdog with his full house. Hansen bet $24,000, and Negreanu called, slow playing his full house. The pot was now $111,700. The river came 8♠. Hansen checked, and Negreanu bet $65,000. Hansen then went all in over the top for his remaining $232,000, bringing the pot to $408,700. Negreanu called, and Hansen took down a pot worth $575,700. This was the largest pot before the 500K minimum buy-in game during the fourth season and remains the largest as a multiple of the big blind ($600).

A $743,800 pot developed between Patrik Antonius and Jamie Gold in the November 12, 2007 episode of the fourth season. Antonius held A♠ J♦ and Gold had pocket kings. After the 3♠ Q♦ 10♥ flop and K♥ turn, Antonius was a 3-to-1 favorite with his straight vs. Gold’s three kings. Gold moved all-in and Antonius called to create the 743.8K pot. With such a large amount at stake the players agreed to run the river three times. The first two river cards, Q♥ 3♦, both paired the board and gave the win to Gold with a full house. The third river card 8♠ kept Antonius’ straight in front. As a result, Gold took two-thirds of the pot and Antonius one-third. Antonius’ calm demeanor after the hand prompted host A.J. Benza to comment: “I’ll tell you one thing: Patrik can take a punch. Imagine if that was Phil Hellmuth”.

In Season 5, Tom Dwan won a $919,600 pot against Barry GreensteinAn even bigger $998,800 pot developed in the November 26, 2007 episode between Antonius and Sammy Farha. Antonius went all-in after the flop with a pair of nines; Farha called with a king-high flush draw. The odds were roughly even, and the players agreed to run the turn and river four times. Antonius won three of the runs to take three-fourths of the pot. A previous hand in the episode saw Doyle Brunson win a $818,100 pot against Guy Laliberté. Brunson held A♦ 10♦ and Laliberté had A♥ 5♥. The flop came A♣ J♠ 4♦ and the turn fell 2♦. Brunson bet the turn, and Laliberte raised and Brunson moved all-in and was called to make the 818.1K pot. The players agreed to run the river twice. Brunson was a 75% favorite with his better kicker and flush draw, and he won both river cards to take the entire pot. After the hand Brunson said, “When you don’t make a pair for eight hours, you go crazy.”

A pot between Laliberté and David Benyamine in the 4th season could have developed into the biggest pot in High stakes poker history when David had A♣ 8♣ and Laliberté had K♦ 5♦ and the flop came K♣ 3♦ 5♣ giving Laliberté top two pair and David the nut flush draw. Acting after Farha, David raised to $43,000 and Laliberté raised to $168,000. Farha folded with A♥ 3♠ and David went all in which Laliberté called, bringing the pot to $1,227,900. After turning the respective cards over, Laliberté, knowing he was the favorite, offered to run it twice. After further negotiation Laliberté offered to take the pot previous to the raises of $238,900. David agreed, thus crushing chances of the biggest pot in high stakes history. Antonio and a couple of other players wanted to see the turn and river which Laliberté and David refused to do.

The biggest successful bluff was in Season 3, when Brad Booth (with 4♠ 2♠) bluffed Phil Ivey (with K♥ K♦). The flop came 3♦ 7♠ 6♦; Ivey’s overpair was a 79% favorite to Booth’s inside straight draw and backdoor flush draw. After Ivey bet $23,000 on the flop to make the pot $54,100, Booth raised to $300,000. Ivey folded. At the beginning of the fourth season, the players agreed that anyone who won a pot while holding the weakest possible hold ‘em hand (2-7) would be paid $500 by every other player at the table. This led to several five-figure bluff bets that were calculated to pick up the $3,500 bonus (and the respect of the table) and Phil Hellmuth won the 7-2 bonus in the second televised hand of the season, making a $40,000 bet on the river that caused Mike Matusow to lay down pocket kings.

The biggest unsuccessful bluff occurred as a result of this rule. Amateurs Antonio Salorio and Brian Brandon went to a raised flop with 7-2o and K-K respectively. When Brandon flopped the best possible hand with K-4-K, Salorio continued to bet, eventually losing more than $100,000 before giving up when Brandon raised on the turn.

The biggest pot to be played straight up (with no deals or multiple runs) occurred in Season 5 between Tom Dwan and Barry Greenstein. Peter Eastgate was the original raiser with A♠ K♥, with Barry re-raising to 15K with A♦ A♣ and Dwan calling with K♠ Q♠, and Eastgate calling behind him. The flop came 4♠ 2♠ Q♥, causing Dwan to bet, Barry to raise, Dwan to reraise, and finally Barry to push all-in, which Dwan quickly called. Barry had denied Dwan the oppurtunity to run it twice on an earlier hand (which Tom had the best of when they went all-in and Barry ultimately won), and this time he also wanted to run it only once, but offered to take some of their money back, which Tom rejected. At this point it was almost an exact 50/50 race. The turn was Q♣, and the river was the 7♦, so Tom took down the pot of $919,600.

In Season 5, Tom ‘Durrr’ Dwan semi-bluffed and won $237,700 with Q♣ 10♣ outplaying Barry Greenstein’s overpair (aces) and Peter Eastgate’s trip deuces. Barry Greenstein opened the play under the gun to $2,500 and was quickly called by all players. Before the flop came out there was $21,400 in the pot and at this point Dwan (rather sarcastically) offered to chop the pot. The flop read 2♣ 10♦ 2♠. Eastgate (2♦ 4♥) and Doyle Brunson (A♠ 9♣) checked and Greenstein (A♥ A♣) lead out $10,000 after some thought, and with seven people behind him Dwan raises the pot to $37,300. David Benyamine (3♦ 3♣), Eli Elezra (J♦ 9♠), Ilari Sahamies (7♥ 6♠) and Daniel Negreanu (K♦ 4♦) all quickly folded. The action came back to Peter Eastgate and he called the raise as did Barry Greenstein. With the pot already at $133,500 the turn comes out a 7♦, Eastgate and Greenstein quickly check. After some thought Dwan (95% underdog at this point) fires $104,300, and Eastgate and Greenstein reluctantly folded. Following the hand in a rare move Tom Dwan was quick to verbally announce he was bluffing by stating “Peter had the best hand, I’ll make a sidebet that Peter had the best hand” (Tom was taken on this sidebet and eventually won $6,000 when Peter announced his hand later in the show.)

While I’ve been waxing poetic about taking risks for most of this week I’ve been waiting for someone to call bullshit.

Guys who pull ridiculous stunts and live, gamblers who bet their whole life and win, videos about the final moments of someone’s life that verge on the sentimental – all one-sided proof that people shouldn’t be afraid to take risks.

Sure being heroic is easy when everything is going your way but what about when it all goes horribly wrong?

What about a video that shows the real final moments of someone’s life?

The video below couldn’t be more real.

It features a skier who gets caught in an avalanche – and it’s shot from his point of view.

It’s pretty incredible, completely unique and, of course comes with an unbelievable ending. (It isn’t gory or anything but I’m pretty sure that anyone who is claustrophobic should skip most of what’s between the 2 minute and 6 minute mark):

The noises you hear are plaintive cries of a guy convinced he’s about to die as he desperately tries to get air from the oxygen tank strapped to the back .

He didn’t have the mouthpiece for the tank in his mouth when he took off because he was too busy justifying why he should go first instead of the other skier – irony is creepy.

The rescuers were only able to find this guy because one of his gloves flew off just before he was buried alive. What are the chances?

Chilling stuff (full story here)

It’s cool to watch a guy gamble his life savings and wins but what happens when a gambler gets unlucky? Ask Archie Karas – a living legend who isn’t known by many.

One of the reasons that Archie is a legend is because, in only three years, he managed to turn fifty dollars into fifty MILLION dollars by gambling. The other reason why Archie is a legend… I’ll leave that up to Archie to explain.

Here’s the man himself (if you don’t care for poker and just want to see the brief interview then start watching at the 1:37 mark – that’s where the crazy begins):

A lot of people think Archie is an idiot. I don’t – for one simple reason: Archie still plays poker – just with $5 chips instead of $5000 chips. He’s the same guy playing the same game.

A lot of people thing Archie is an addict. I think he’s just being true to who he is and sticking with his decision to dedicate his life to gambling.

And I’ll bet you $10 that the skier from the 1st video is still two-planking down slopes.

Both those guys know that when you make a heroic choice it isn’t out of stubbornness, bravado or stupidity – it’s just the only choice you can make.

Because that choice is who you are.

Great news for everyone out there that loves their poker television.  The daddy of poker television show, High Stakes Poker, looks set to return to our tv screens sometime early next year, probably Februray.

Although GSN, the network that broadcasts the show in the US have yet to confirm the schedule, news on the sixth season of High Stakes Poker were leaked last week when Barry Greenstein revealed that the makers were gathering the players together in November to film the new series.

Lets hope it’s as entertaining as last year!

Recently on his blog, FullTilt Poker pro Phil Galfond says:

“Poker has been a roller coaster lately. I’ve had 2 very big winning days and 2 very big losing days (see last post for the latest one) all in the last week and a half. It’s half fun, half painful. Luckily (sorta) the wins have come right before the losses, so I never felt like I’d lost a bunch, though ending on a bad note is never fun. Playing around with some variance calculators has made me realize that at the frequency the nosebleeds run, I won’t see the long run for about 5+ years. I wasn’t even planning on playing that long. It’s a little disheartening to know that I have so little control over my month to month results. Maybe disheartening is the wrong word. It makes me feel, I dunno, not in control of things. I feel like there’s probably a good word for that, but I have a bad vocabulary. I think I need to come to terms with the fact that I can’t rely on high stakes poker for my income. My EV is still very good, but I need to have other reasons for playing: the challenge, fun, pride. Playing 50k hands a year of 300/600+ for the money is just setting myself up for dissapointment. Even with a decent edge, I can’t expect to come out a significant winner…”.

And here is Phil Galfond’s chart that show how variance can be nasty at high stakes tables at FullTilt Poker.

Phil Galfond All-In EV at FullTilt Poker Tables

Phil Galfond revelou que está a pensar deixar de jogar high-stakes. A grande motivação para o fazer é o facto de nestes níveis se jogar muito poucas mãos nas mesas de Poker da Full Tilt. O resultado disso é portanto muito variável.
Segundo os cálculos de Phil Galfond seram precisos vários anos para conseguir anular esta variância e ter resultados positivos consistentes.
Como se sabe Phil Galfond é considerado por muitos um dos melhores jogadores de poker da actualidade, tendo até implementado conceitos no poker como os Galfond Bucks.
Fica aqui parte dos resultados que mostra como a variância pode ser implacável nos limites altos das mesas da FullTilt Poker e fazer como que qualquer jogador pense em deixar de jogar nestas mesas.

Introduction

by dr george pollard

A hundred years ago, Albert Einstein didn’t know physicists believed E could not equal mc-squared. He wrote about the effects of E equaling mc-squared and changed the world. Einstein didn’t know he was supposedly wrong.

Neal Gumpel, the screenwriter, is similar. He’s a usual person around whom unusual events occur. “Many of the fictional screenplays he writes,” says Brian Linse, of Linsefilms, “happened to him. No one believes his life is the fiction he writes.”

During high school, Neal worked as a house painter. He developed a knack for high-end kitchen finishing work. As he painted, in Rye and Greenwich, he talked with his clients.

The talk was mostly about preparing food. Customers asked Neal to cater, and he did. Two years later, he went from house painter to caterer, with no training in either.

When Neal met his first wife, she was a bible student. He took up bible study to be with her. After they married, Neal became a minister, licenced by the State of New York.

When his marriage ended, Neal worked at Dean and Deluca, a trendy, high-end café, in New York City. Two years later, he opened a bistro in Kona, on Hawaii, called “A Piece of the Apple.” Two years later, Neal and second wife, Helen Shelby, the super model, returned to New York City, where he worked at the high-end Citarella Fish Market.

Two years later, Neal and Helen wanted to sublet their New York City apartment. Jim Sheridan, the film writer and producer, came to view, with his daughter. As daughter, Helen and Neal toured the building, Sheridan noticed, on the coffee table, a story Neal wrote. He read it, while waiting.

Ten days later, Gumpel was the sensation of the Toronto Film Festival. Sheridan was saying, “Neal is my new writing partner.” Sheridan said his next project, which Gumpel wrote, was “Lucky Men.” Then Sheridan took Neal to Hollywood.

Mel Gibson, the actor, owns Con Artists. “When Neal first came to Hollywood,” says Brian Linse, “Sheridan took him to Con Artist for a meet and greet. Last person Neal meets is Gibson. They talk for a long while; Neal always has a steady stream of enticing ideas. When leaving, Neal shakes hands, with Gibson, and says, ‘Thank you, Mr. Costner.’”

This is Neal Gumpel. He writes the best screenplays, but knows little about Hollywood. “He knows almost no one in Hollywood,” says Linse. “This is good.”

“Neal pitched an idea to Brian Cooper, at DreamWorks,” says AJ Benza. “Cooper loved it. Neal got a six-figure development deal to write the script. The story came directly from the life of Neal Gumpel.”

“He’s a natural screenwriter, not studied,” says Brian Linse. “Neal doesn’t know he can’t write a scene this way or that. He decides what he needs. Then he does it.” Neal is two steps forward for Hollywood.

Neal Gumpel has an extraordinary life story. He tells it well. Click here to read his first in-depth interview, now, to know why his basic instincts prevail.

In the largest televised cash game pot in poker history, Tom Dwan takes down an almost million dollar pot against Barry Greenstein.  Tom Dwan is no stranger to playing ridiculously large pots, and can often be watched by members of the site playing for extremely high stakes on Full Tilt Poker.

Peter Eastgate of 08’ WSOP main event fame opens the pot holding As Kh with a raise of $3,500. Barry Greenstein acts next, and pops it up to $15,000 after waking up with As Ac. Tom Dwan, never one to shy away from a raise then a re-raise (ha), decides to see the action with his Ks Qs.  Eastgate closes out the first round of betting by also calling the re-raise.

The flop comes down 4s 2s Qh. Tom Dwan is first to act, connecting massively both with top pair, and a King high flush draw. Dwan puts in a bet approximately ½ pot size of $28,700, which allows Eastgate to muck and clear the way for the next to act, Greenstein.  Barry suspects his aces are good and throws out a rushed $100,000 neat in an effort to discourage Dwan from pursuing the hand.  Dwan takes a moment to deliberate and then three bets Greenstein a total of $244,600. Barry shortly after commits the remainder of his chips to the pot, as does Dwan, resulting in the largest ever televised cash game pot: $919,600.

With two cards to come, and both players each with an almost exactly 50% probability to take down the pot, Dwan offers Greenstein the chance to run it more than once. Greenstein declines, however offers Dwan the opportunity to take back a, “few hundred thousand if you want.”  Dwan refuses the offer in the same proud fashion as Greenstein refused his, and so the almost Million dollar coin is about to be flipped.

The Turn card is another Queen, the Qs, giving Dwan a 95% probability to win the pot, leaving Greenstein’s only chance of success in the case ace. Ouch.  7d on the river closes over the hand, and sees Tom Dwan scoop a total of $919,600.

This is one of the strongest plays I’ve seen which illustrates Tom Dwan’s creativity, aggression, and curiosity to push boundaries. Dwan can often be seen by site members playing on Full Tilt Poker (where some of his pots have been known to reach over $300k).

Bob Safai opens up out of position with Ad Qs & a raise of $2k. Tom Dwan calls behind with 8c 6c. The Flop comes down 5c 3c Qh, giving Safai top pair and top kicker, with Dwan flopping a club flush draw. Safai fires out a quick continuation bet of $5k and is called down by a yawning and seemingly disinterested Dwan.

The turn is 10s, being no help to either player. Safai smugly fires a second barrel of $12k, though this doesn’t deter Dwan from being stubborn and making the call, bringing the pot up to a total of $39.2k with the river card to follow.



The River shows a seemingly blank card in the 2d. Safai checks his top pair (you would expect) in an attempt to induce the ever aggressive Dwan to fire a bluff on the river. After Dwan ‘durrrrs’ for a period of time, he asks Safai, “How much do you have”. Safai laughs, then smiles, and says “$150k“. At this point most poker players with a missed flush draw (and this is probably what Safai puts Dwan on) would muck their hand. Not Dwan.

“All in,” says Dwan. Bob Safai looks sickened as he loses most of the color in his face. The pot now stands at ridiculous $172.4k. Unable to put Dwan on a hand, he opts to lay down his hand, rather than risking his entire stack ($130k+). Once Safai reluctantly mucks, the table asks for Dwan to show, which he eventually does, much to the disgust of Safai.
