Another Weekend at The Commerce
Yesterday my good friend and golf nemesis Matt Savage stopped by and convinced me to go to Manila for the APT event at the end of next week. I wanted to relax before the WSOP so what better way than to fly to the other side of the world and play poker.
This weekend I am at The Commerce in LA to play in there Saturday 2.5k event. I have to say that arriving at last night and walking around The Commerce always feels like coming home. Wow, that s scary but it really is the house of poker. There s always lots of action and many familiar faces, which is both the good and bad news (only kidding). I feel like The Commerce is my house and I have home field advantage; that was until Kenny Tran sat down in the game. I played 20/40 NLH for a while in the must move game, waiting for the main game which was a good game. We were 3 handed and Kenny played an interesting hand against a weak passive player that I thought I would share with you. This guy was a calling station and played almost every hand. He limped UTG + 1 and Kenny raised on the button to 220 and he called. The flop came K 10 4 and Kenny bet 500 and the other guy called. The turn brought another K, the initial limper bet 900 and Kenny stared at him for several minutes seeming to look into his soul. Kenny finally called and the river brought a 2, the other player moved all in for 1,200 and Kenny called showing AA, the limper showed K 7. The three of us made it into the main game pretty quickly and this guy played 54 off suit and flopped 2 fives to crack another guy s aces and double up, then flopped the nut straight twice against a player and doubled up twice.
He worked an initial buy in of about $2,500 up to $20,000 with some of the luckiest play I have seen in some time. The good news is I didn t contribute and went to bed about even. Today will be more of the same, I might play a single table satellite for Saturday s event.
To give you some more information about the collaborative effort of Michael Binger and myself we will be offering final table services beginning with the WSOP events and some limited private instruction throughout the WSOP, with our full rollout of services starting after the series. We are excited about what we see as a way to bring more players to the game and offer game improvement to those interested. I will run through more specifics in the next few days.

Players said
Shining: likes to play UNO is the biggest benefit of this card is no limit the number of 2 to 10 people can set up a group to play cards, from the previous few hours playing poker all groups, and individuals on July 8 Do a gathering of fragmented, not a bustling. We can now end-of-friends, a group Huanshengxiaoyu Weiju to play UNO, but you casually in a bar, on the road, at home on the floor, as long as you like, UNO here can play a major role in the fun.
- Mei: play UNO have some skills, such as when the first licence to throw away the large number of color card, and will remain in the important function of licensing to the time, this can be reduced when the final figures in points.
KK: Some people think that UNO is the kind of luck simply by virtue of the game, is not entirely the case. Licensing Lancashire pumped from each card, but these licences is not completely random, there were already the licence is no longer the , 108 is in steady decline, which means that if the players can generally making a record of each card, the card will enhance the judgement of many, the chance of winning the opportunity to improve the lot.
Reminded:
In each end of the game, and it has also licensed the hands of the audience based on the licensee to conduct Points, 1-9 licensing in accordance with the figures of the number of licence points, 20 points each function of licensing, universal licensing each - 50 points. In general, generic method of calculation is when someone over to the 500 time-sharing, played out on the results of the cumulative scores meet the requirements of the first one is the winner.
Universal licensing and draw two and wild draw four have a cumulative, if someone made for this type of licence, then played the last of the family can not bear to be opt-out of all before the licence number, such as making three consecutive draw two, the first 4 can be no cards to play to heap more from the licensing out of six licences.
In the final fight left a card in the time to shout UNO. If you do not shout UNO and will be fined one or two licences.
Miscalculated licensing, make the wrong table, shouting wrong UNO, over five seconds no licence, two licences feeling of impunity.
