Richard Seymour World Series of poker
On ESPN right now he’s almost to the final 200
|
I'm rooting for the guy in the Chiefs shirt...
|
Belichick and that little former Broncos coach are probably in the background videoing other players' hands.
|
That turn was not good for him
|
The guy in the Chiefs shirt is Bwillie

It worked out so it reinforced bad strategy which seems to get guys a lot. I don’t play as much poker as I do blackjack but people really struggle with math and strategy sometimes |

Hell of a run by Seymour. He's apparently a formidable player. Not rooting for him though, he already has his money. Some old fish from USA would be great...like Jamie Gold or something |

So that IS the same Seymour, huh? I thought so. Dude has an intimidating look across the table. Saw him lose a $1M on one hand last night. He looked kinda tired.
|
|
Damn, I knew he was getting a little shortstacked last night towards the end.
|
Every year I start watching the WSOP I get the urge to get back into poker seriously...it's hitting me again, damn WSOP lol.

I'll occasionally play in a local game here in town or something, but I usually get bored and go in at a disadvantage preflop with 2 7 unsuited lol. |

I just don't really have the will or want to grind away anymore. I just play for fun everyonce in a while. If i'm gonna really gamble, i'll play blackjack. |
26 posts and nobody has mentioned the fact he was carrying a purse?
I’m sure it’s some fancy-named and high-priced man bag, but it looked like a purse to me. |
Here's a summary.....
Ex-Patriots star makes an impressive and deep run at 2019 World Series of Poker, but is eliminated Former Patriots star Richard Seymour might be better at poker than he is at football. After winning three Super Bowl rings in New England, Seymour was on the verge of possibly adding another piece of coveted jewelry to his personal collection: A diamond bracelet, which goes to the winner of the Main Event at the 2019 World Series of Poker. Although Seymour came close to collecting the bracelet, he won't be taking it home after being eliminated from the tournament on Wednesday during the fifth day of action. Seymour went into the day with 2.75 million chips, but ended up losing them all to finish in 131st place. Although that might not sound impressive, it was an incredible showing by Seymour, who outlasted more than 98 percent of the field. This year's main event featured 8,569 entrants, which means that Seymour lasted longer than 8,438 other players. Seymour's impressive finish means that he'll be taking home some serious prize money. For finishing in 131st place, the former Patriots star will be leaving Las Vegas with $59,295. (The entry fee for the main event was $10,000, so Seymour will walk away with a profit of $49,295). Despite the fact that he didn't win, Seymour still seemed happy with the way he played. "As a competitor, you always want to still be in it," Seymour told Poker Central after being eliminated. "You just have to try and go out and make the best decisions possible and today I had a day where I had to fold a lot of hands. I was in some pretty sick spots, I'm happy with my decisions and that's all you can do in this game. You let the cards fall where they may and it just didn't go my way." Although Seymour was happy with his decisions, he'll likely be regretting at least one of them. At one point on Wednesday, Seymour got dealt pocket 10s on a hand where he was going up against an opponent who had 6-5 offsuit. The percentages were in Seymour's favor, but he decided to fold after his opponent went all-in following the flop. Seymour ended up getting eliminated on a hand that any poker pro could have lost on. The former Patriots player was dealt a K-4 off suit, which looked good when a king came up on a flop that went Kc-6h-2d. After a queen came up on the turn and another king on the river, Seymour figured he was a lock to win with three kings. However, one of his opponents had been dealt pocket queens, which means that opponent won the hand with a full house (Three queens, two kings). If Seymour could have made it to the final table, not only would he have had a chance to take home a diamond bracelet, but he'd also have a shot at winning the $10 million in prize money that will be handed out to the winner of the main event. Seymour pulled in a total of $89.5 million during his 12-year playing career, which included seven trips to the Pro Bowl. The 2001 first-round pick spent the first eight seasons of his career with the Patriots before signing with the Raiders and spending four years in Oakland (2009-12). As for his poker career, Seymour is no slouch. Including the money he won at the main event, Seymour has now collected more than $600,000 in career winnings. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/e...is-eliminated/ |

Also very easy for us to say he should have called knowing what he was up against. |

It appears Seymour cbet on 8d4h2c and folded when he got jammed on for 24 big blinds total. It's generally a call against most players. You really need a specific player to be able to fold this hand to. I'm sure GTO solvers continuation bet call with TT here at this stack depth. It is an rather low dry board, so there aren't any combo draws. Many players don't raise cbets much on these types of boards at all at this stack depth. In my experience, if an amateur raises on a dry board, it usually is not the nuts very often as they like to trap dry boards more often & don't have a very large thin value raising range. While the big blind has a range advantage on this flop, they are still repping pretty thin since they have to defend so many hands to begin with. TT is just too strong of a hand to fold. Many players will get in 88 preflop at 24 big blinds vs a small blind open but the big blind can still rep all sets & almost all two pairs. The big blinds range when they raise all in probably looks like this: 22, 44, 88 (can discount 88 some), A8, K8 (maybe even J8+) 99 (can discount this some as most people are 3betting this preflop), A5, A3, 65ss, 53ss, 76 with backdoor flush draw (maybe),two pairs and possibility of random spaz air a low percentage of the time. There are way more combos of two pairs, top pairs, draws than sets. Basically if you are going to continuation bet over pairs and fold for 24 big blinds - the big blind can exploit you by raising almost anytime you cbet because they know you will almost NEVER call. In this situation his TT is as good as AA when he gets jammed on because the big blind virtually NEVER has JJ, QQ, KK or AA. In fact, it's arguably one of the BEST over pairs to cbet/call with other than JJ or QQ because having AA or KK would block top pair 8s with good kickers and Ace high wheel draws and ace highs & king highs an amateur might spaz with. |
Yeah it's a call for sure

Seymour made some super tight terrible plays last night. In addition to the TT fold, he folded AK to a 4bb shove. And he checked back top 2 on the river on a very dry board - out of a fear of being re-raised obviously (he even called himself out for that one).
Seymour was putting the Chiefs guy on JJ on the TT hand - which means he's not reading hands, or he likes to flat jacks in a lot of spots and assumes others will too - either shows he's nowhere near pro level as he was somewhat billed. Loved that the Chiefs guy owned him, but overall I was rooting for him. He had to be worried about looking bad on TV and I bet it affected his game. Obviously the money means nothing to him. He said on Rich Eisen the purse thing was an accessory to give him some flair - lol. |
24xbb chiefs guy is (likely, I am) jamming Jacks or better preflop. Probably jamming 10s 9s and 8s too. I had no information on how the action played out preflop or effective stack sizes.
Thanks bwillie. I spent about 45 minutes trying to find a full video of that hand last night. |

I think it's an easy call |

Next year I'm doing everything I can to satellite into the main event. Outside of that, I don't think I can ever afford or convince myself (if I had it) to pony up 10k.
It's about the only thing on my bucket list. I think Harrahs NKC has a few yearly tournaments that award seats. |

And then there were three:
https://www.pokernews.com/news/2019/...ston-34873.htm Winner crowned tonight. |
I want to make the Final Table of the Main Event just to stun everyone with my ability to snap 3bet fold, snap 4bet fold, and snap bet fold. If you know you're folding. JUST ****ING FOLD. 95% of the time before I make any bet I know what I'm doing when I'm raised. I've already made my decision and know how I will play the hand out in a decision tree in my head.
This Maahs dude, I want to like him since he's from the Midwest. And I'm sure he's a fine dude. But taking 30 seconds every preflop decision with J4o etc....on purpose. When he KNOWS he's folding was exhausting to watch. |

The tanking, the Hollywood, the trying to make hero plays on every hand, etc...it's beyond ridiculous. |

ICM creates some counter-intuitive super tight folds on money bubbles/final table ladders. There are spots on SNG bubbles where you should fold KK to any shove from the bigstack. IE - 4-person bubble - two micro-stacks. I wouldn't fold because **** you I have KK. But still - I was making a mistake in the short run. The AJ fold with top pair/top kicker made Baby Jesus cry though. |

But yeah to me this is still why 27 players down to 9 is the best poker of the year and the final table is always kind of anti-climactic. Players know they can't just wait around for someone else to bust. They have to make plays to chip up to make the final table. But at the same time - any hand they get involved in could be the difference between a nice payday and life changing money. |
First hour tonight was pretty entertaining.
|
Want to see Dario get heads up with Ensan, and then just demolish him. He's going to need to get lucky to get there.
|
Dario!!!
|
These guys are ****ed now. Dario with chips. Rut roh.

I wish they did two set of main event one for the unknown card players and one for the well known players top five each table meet for the final or top four and two wild cards like who wouldn't want to see phil ivey or phil hellmuth play in the final?

To piggy back on your post though, I really think the WSOP, WPT, EPT whatever should make a beginners tournament where if you have over a certain amount in lifetime cashes you can't play. It would be great for the poker ecosystem too. The seniors tournament is almost like that. That is the softest tournament $1,000 tournament in the world. |
Much better pace of play w/o Maahs.
