I am so happy to be back in Vancouver! Vegas is fun, but it’s way too
hot and loses its appeal after a few days. Plus I really started to
miss online poker!
I didn’t post last week because I didn’t play much poker
during my first week back, but I was able to get some decent volume in
the week after. Here are the numbers since being back from Vegas:
# MTTs: 228
Average buy-in: $33.03
Hours: 49.25
Net result: +$1,863.53
I was actually down quite a bit the first five sessions back, losing
>$4k over 186 games. Part of it was definitely being rusty since I
hadn’t played online for a few weeks. Most of it was standard MTT bad
variance.
Another portion of my losses was due to the fact I experimented a bit
with some hands preflop, and it got me into marked cards some unfamiliar situations
post flop. I definitely spewed a couple stacks and lit some money on
fire doing that! (I don’t regret it though)
This past Sunday got me into the profit zone. I chopped the $22 500 cap 6-max tournament heads-up for ~$1.7k and then I placed 7th in the Bigger $55 for a bit over $5k.
I was really disappointed that I didn’t do better in the Bigger $55
because the final table was one of the softest I’ve ever played. A large
percentage of the table had NO idea what they were doing! It was
incredible.
Unfortunately I had a short stack going into the final table thanks
to shoving into AA on the final marked cards lenses table bubble, so I wasn’t able to take
advantage of the weak players. I picked my spots well and gave myself a
great chance, but in the end I lost two flips and busted earlier than I
would have liked.
Tournaments are strange because you’re almost always disappointed with the result if you don’t finish 1st. I busted that tourney in 7th place for $5k and felt terrible about it because 1st place was ~$30k.
On the other hand, if I had won the same amount but had taken 1st place in a different tourney instead, I would have been very happy. In fact, I felt much happier about my 1st
place finish in the 6-max than I did about the Bigger $55 despite the
fact I won over $3k more in the Bigger $55. Isn’t that ridiculous?
Now that I’ve gotten my sleep schedule back to normal, I’m ready to
work hard and actually put some volume in (for the first time this
year). I’m slowly improving my multi-tabling skills, so I should have no problem getting in a few thousand more tourneys before the end of the year.
This week is a really busy one but I’m going to try very hard to play
four days. Hopefully I’ll be back next week to report some good results!

Losing Less vs. Winning More
Money saved is money earned. This concept, second nature for investment bankers, is equally relevant for a poker professional.
In my first year as a poker player, I spent every night grinding $4/$8 Limit. There was one full-time professional $4/$8 player who consistently crushed the game, to an extent that should not be mathematically possible.
I only saw him once in the space of a year with less than three times his original buy-in. I was willing to listen to any advice he was willing to sling. The only advice he ever gave me was this:
"You don't make money at this game by trying to win the most. You make money by trying to lose the least."
All poker players think, talk and write about maximizing their profits. But the topic of minimizing losses is skimmed over marked cards, or even disregarded by many. I guess winning a pot so big that the chips are spilling off the table is much more fun to talk about than the time you saved one bet with a good fold.
Generally,
a Limit professional's bottom line is to win one big bet an hour. With
that in mind, the importance of pot size management becomes clearly
evident. For a single bet lost, you must subsequently win two bets to
show a profit.
A State of Mind, Not of Play
The concept of losing less versus winning more is more a state of mind, rather than a state of play. A value bet is an example of what I'm referring to as a state of play. When you have easy cards tricks the best hand, you must figure out your opponents' call amount threshold, and bet as close below that number as you can.
Losing less is not as cut-and-dried. It's a state of mind that you will use to govern many other actions you make on the table.
Here's a simplified example, the free-card play:
$2/$4 Limit - Standard Tight Play on the Button:
Total cost to see river = $8 (2 bets)
$2/$4 Limit - Free-Card Play on the Button:
Total cost to see river = $6 (1.5 bets)
Assuming the flush misses on the river, the free-card play saves us half a bet.
For those of you paying strict attention, you will have realized that the long-term profit-to-draw ratio will be the same if we use the free-card play or not. The difference is that using the free-card play, and the "losing less" state of mind, reduces variance. In a No-Limit game using it can offer us chip interest.
How This Applies to No-Limit
All these concepts can be transferred into a No-Limit environment. The cost per mistake can be much more in No-Limit poker. Therefore losing less becomes much more important. Saving yourself from getting stacked is worth the same amount to your roll as doubling up.
Finally, there is the concept of chip interest in No-Limit poker. Any bet saved on a No-Limit table equates to more chips in your active stack. When you double up, all "saved" chips get doubled along with your stack. Saving $25 in a previous pot will put a total of $50 into your stack after the double.
The more money you save (the less you lose), the more money you bring to the cashier: it's as simple as that.

| Flop | Flush draw | Bet | Call | $2 |
| Turn | Miss draw | Bet | Call | $4 |
$2/$4 Limit - Free-Card Play on the Button:
| Street | Situation | Opponents | You | Cost |
| Pre-flop | Suited connectors | Limp | Limp | $2 |
| Flop | Flush draw | Bet | Raise | $4 |
| Turn | Miss draw | Check | Check | $0 |

Rant: It's High Time to Start a Rogues Gallery for Poker
In one fell swoop this week Christian Lusardi elevated his
status from 30,252nd on poker’s all time money list to the top of the 10
Dumbest Criminals in the World list.
As The Press of Atlantic City unveiled, the 42-year-old Lusardi was responsible for the recent Borgata Winter Poker Open $2 Million Guarantee chip scam.
A very quick summary of what happened:
Borgata tournament officials and the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) were forced to suspendplay
in the aforementioned event after players complained to tournament
officials about a series of 5k chips that did not look or feel like
ordinary 5k chips.
After studious examination the organizers and the DGE found that 160 forged chips (totaling 800k) had been added to the tournament field. Play was suspended indefinitely. It was going to be exceedingly difficult to find the perpetrators amongst a field of 4,812 marked cards players and an event that resembled organized chaos.
Step forward and take a bow Mr. Lusardi.
This is exactly what happened at the end of Day 1B of the
aforementioned tournament when Lusardi was named the dominant chip
leader with 519,000 chips.
Little did tournament officials realize that he'd just dumped a shedload of chips into his bag at the end of the night to give him a 200,000-chip lead over his nearest competitor.
Instead of using his counterfeit chips to propel him on to victory, the criminal mastermind was eliminated on Day 2 for a $6,814 cash.
How was he caught? Well it seems when news of the scandal broke Lusardi panicked and in a scene fresh out of The Wire flushed the remaining $2.7m counterfeit chips down the toilet of Harrah’s BorgataHotel .
He did what? What did he think was going to happen with $2.7m worth of plastic chips? This isn’t coke or heroin Mr. Lusardi.
Did this kid ever do basic science in class? Chips were flushed, pipes were clogged, sewer workers were called and the shitty, pissy chips were traced back to the hotel room of the world’s dumbest criminal.
Now what happens next is extremely important.
I’m no expert but I assume that Bill Kaplan will not be able to get a
game of Blackjack in most casinos in the world. Systems already exist
to prevent cheaters and scammers playing marked card tricks the casinos table games and so
it’s time we did likewise for poker.
There is nothing to stop a cheating poker player from entering another tournament or cash game except the thickness of his or her ownskin .
A fact that was never better demonstrated than in 2011 when the alleged cheat Ali Tekintamgac turned up to take his seat in the $25,000 World Poker Tour (WPT) Championship.
Tekintamgac, Jean Paul Pasqualini, Cedric Rossi, Christian Lusardi and the former Full Tilt Poker (FTP) crew can all wander into any of our major poker tournaments and take a seat with only the wrath of the rest of the players to contend with.
Unless you're sharing a table with Georges St-Pierre, there really isn’t much to be scared of.
Yet David Diaz can get blind drunk at an Harrah’s joint, make a bit of a mess, and suddenly he is banned from all poker events at Harrah’s establishments meaning he can never play in a World Series of Poker (WSOP) event in his life?
I’m not excusing the antics of Diaz, and I have my own thoughts on whether or not he has got his just deserts, but the fact that he can’t show his face in the greatest competition in the world -- but the rest of the Rogues can -- doesn’t seem like balance to me.
Poker needs to act as one to create a regulatory body that can take
these cases through a process that either ends with guilt being
exonerated or heads being chopped off.
I believe the best place to start is the Tournament Directors Association (TDA). Why there?
It’s the only time you will see the leading lights of official tournament-dom together in one place and part of their role is to create rules and processes that provide protection from our players.
Yes, players need protection from players. If an organization can ban Diaz then it can ban anyone, and I want them all to start by banning the guy who believes $2.7m in chips will dissolve in the waters of the New Jersey sewer system.
Christian Lusardi – welcome to the Rogues Gallery. Now who else do you think should join him?

Chip Leader without a Single Hand of Note?
As a live tournament reporter it always rankles a bit when the day ends with a chip leader whom you have not seen play a single hand of note.
Borgata has sweet pipes, but not that sweet.

It's High Time for a Rogues Gallery
I don’t know about you guys but I am getting extremely pissed off with all of the cheats and scams in our game. It’s high time that we put an end to it and I think we should start a Rogues Gallery.
Ali Tekintamgac can be in the gallery.

Let's Start at the Tournament Directors Organization
We need a judge, jury and executioner.
Over to you, TDA.

GPI Bans Pasqualini and Rossi for Alleged Partouche Cheating Video
The Global Poker Index has banned two French poker players in
light of cheating allegations at the 2009 Partouche Poker Tour final
table.
Jean-Paul Pasqualini and Cederic Rossi will no longer be included in the GPI's live poker tournament rankings.
A video compilation of 18 hands played by Pasqualini and Rossi was posted roughly two weeks ago by Nordine Bouya, another French trick cards player.
The hands provide compelling evidence that the two players were using hand signals to communicate their holecards to one another.
The video has since gone viral online and today the GPI took action and banned them from its worldwide poker rankings.
Global Poker Index CEO Alex Dreyfus released a blog post elaborating on the announcement. Here is an excerpt:

Global Poker Index CEO Alex Dreyfus released a blog post elaborating on the announcement. Here is an excerpt:
Recently, some information was made public about a very suspicious incident of cheating, which in marked card tricks poker is equivalent to fraud. We spent a lot of time analyzing the facts, checking the accuracy of the video and its sources. We also solicited the point of view of the GPI’s top 50 players.
The feedback from the industry and the players has been very clear - they were insupport of suspending Jean-Paul Pasqualini and Cedric Rossi from inclusion in the Global Poker Index.
By taking this action, we are not claiming that we know they cheated – this is up to the casinos and the overseeing regulatory bodies to decide. What we are convinced of is that there wasn’t fairness at the table. Unfair behavior will not be promoted via the Global Poker Index. It goes against everything I’m trying to do to promote poker, players and events.

Las Vegas Hotels – Why Not Stay Downtown Las Vegas
The first thing I
must make clear is that there is a difference between downtown Las
Vegas and the Las Vegas Strip. The Las Vegas Strip officially known as
Las Vegas Blvd, and is a long segment of Nevada state highway that runs
through the Vegas Valley.
To make things a little more specific the Las Vegas Strip can be divided into 3 segments. That is the North End, Central Section and South End.
The gaming district of the Las Vegas Strip is about a 4.5 mile stretch of Las Vegas Hotels and Casinos marked cards. The North End of Las VegasStrip is about 1.5 miles south of downtown Las Vegas. Thus the very South End of the Las Vegas Strip is about 6 miles from downtown Las Vegas.
Within downtown Las Vegas is a gaming district. This is a small corridor of Las Vegas Hotels and casinos. Most of these properties are within walking distance of each other. This is also known as old Las Vegas. Downtown Las Vegas not only has a gaming district where the downtown Las Vegas hotels and casinos are located. It is like most large city downtowns where you will have courthouses, county jail facility, numerous banks, bus stations and many local government buildings.
There are 12 popular downtown Las Vegas hotels and casinos. They range from luxury upscale properties to average budget minded hotels. The advantage of staying downtown is that you have 10 hotel casino properties that you can easily walk back and forth to. For the most part these properties have everything you will find on the Las Vegas Strip in one tight little area. The convenience and accessibility of the downtown Las Vegas Hotels is tremendous.
Another great advantage of staying in a downtown Las Vegas hotel is
price. These properties have some of the most competitive prices in
Vegas infrared ink
. That does not mean they lack luxury. The downtown Las Vegas hotels
have the same treatment and expectations as any. If you are looking for
a bargain on your hotel rates then search downtown Las Vegas hotels and
chances are you will find better rates than staying on the Las Vegas
Strip.
The only real drawback in staying downtown is that just about all the famous Las Vegas headline entertainment is on the Las Vegas Strip. To make up for that downtown Las Vegas offers the Fremont Street Experience. This is like an outdoor mall with a large lighted canopy containing over 4 million light bulbs. Here is where you can view some of the most incredible musically themed light shows in existence. The best part is these show are free and available every night on top of the hour.
When selecting a Las Vegas hotel to stay at compare the prices and convenience of downtown Las Vegas. Just because you are staying downtown does not mean you can not make a short journey to the famous Las Vegas Strip. Not only are there numerous taxi cabs to take you there but also available the public buses. These buses known as CAT (Citizen Area Transit) buses have a specific route just for the Las Vegas Strip. The Deuce route is filled with Double-decker buses that leave the downtown area every 12 to 30 minutes, (depending on the time of day) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There is also an express bus with limited stops that serve the Las Vegas Strip.
