New Year, New Season

Since the Reed Poker Main Event, things have been quiet for the RPL but that will soon come to an end. The January event is fast approaching. The tenth will be the first live event for the 2008 season. We hope to see all the faces from 2007 and some new blood, I mean new faces. The RPL online events on Full Tilt will also start in about a week (Jan 9th). Be sure to make note of the new setup, schedule and one time $5 fee to cover Online POY bling. (RPL Online Info)

If you would like to play the January event let us know so we can plan for enough seats and snacks. Please post a comment here or email Reed or Trinity. Also you are welcome to bring a guest (again just advise us so we can plan for tables).

Happy New Year and We'll see you at the tables.

The Avett Brothers Rock The Orange Peel

My favorite band for the past two years rocked the Orange Peel like no other. I have seen the Avett Brothers in Kingsport and Nashville but the Asheville show surpassed all expectations. You could feel the floor move as the max capacity crowd rocked to the Avett Brothers. This crowd knew the words as though they listened to the albums everyday.... yeah I do listen to them on my iPod everyday. They played every song you would want to hear without having to hope that they would come out and play the rockin songs in the encore. Langhorne Slim opened for the Avett Brothers and rocked his set while also complementing the Avett Brothers style and mood.

What does any of this have to do with poker? Nothing. Except for the fact, I tend to listen to the Avett Brothers when I play poker, drive in the car and when I work on design projects.

Sean at it again...

Sean finished up 2007 on a good note with some nice cashes online the last 10 days.

7th in $3 rebuy on AP for $300.
7th in $10 rebuy on FTP for $487.
3rd in $25 $8k gtd. on AP for $888.
5th in $10 rebuy on AP for $190.
4th in $10 rebuy on FTP for $1,438.

Just short of some big wins, but at the end of the day it all added up to some nice profits for December 2007.

Good Night for RPL Member...

Chris Sloce and Sean ended up at the same table in Full Tilt's $2 rebuy. They were both deep in the tourney. Sean ended up getting moved and lost most of his top 3 stack while Chris kept chipping up to be the eventual chip leader. Once he got it, he held onto it too. Sean busted right after the money bubble in 17th place for a minimal cash. Chris crushed the final table busting most of the players. His win was good for $314.28! Nice Job!

2008 Heads Up Tournament open to RPL players

The Daniels Poker League (Chris Daniels and Chris Sloce) sent out the below information and all Reed Poker Leaguers are invited to participate. Please email Chris at the listed email or post comment here and I will forward names to Chris. Games will be played in Bristol.

We are planning a Heads Up tournament that will begin in February. We expect at least 16 participants but we are open to as many as possible. It will be a single elimination tournament with a bracket system. The buy-in will be $50 and has to be paid by your first round match. Each match will consist of a best 2 out 3 games. Starting chip stacks will be $10,000 and we will use a standard $100/$200 starting blind structure.

Please send an email to Chris at csloce@bvunet.net to register. The deadline to register is January 15, 2008. Brackets will be sent out by January 22

In order to allow maximum participation, we will be flexible on the dates of the 1st round. We plan on playing 4 matches at a time. We would like to have volunteer dealers for all the matches so that play will be expedient. If you have any special scheduling concerns, please let me know.

I'm pretty sure that we will expand the field to pay out 3-4. We may very well have 32 people and if we do I would love to pay out 8 people.

Main Event Champion

Congratulations Adam on your Main Event win.

Main Event Results Updated Live... sorta.

The night started with 12 players on two tables. Early in the evening Adam and Aris locked heads when Aris pushed on the river with fours full of Aces. Adam insta-called with Aces full of 9s, with the board 4xAA9. Aris was sent home early. He did take home the 1st man out prize and a long bad beat drive home. This tough bad beat was talked about through out the evening. Tough one for sure Aris.

Play continued with 11 players past the dinner break. Adam was able to hit a pair against Mitch's bleeding allin to send Mitch to the rail in 11th.

The two tables then broke down to one with only ten players remaining. Adam called Jason's all in. Jason was sent home in 10th. Adam has a major chip lead at this point with possibly 1/3 of the chips in play.

The biggest hand of the evening was when Brian pushed his last 10k, Adam called, Trinity pushed allin for another 11600. Jeff called with all his chips, and of course Adam insta-called for the remaining 11600. With three players allin and Adam the only one not allin, cards were revealed... Brian (A8c), Jeff (AKo), Trinity (AJd) and Adam (66). Sixes held and Adam took down the largest pot to this point in the evening for 132,600. Brian finished 9th, Jeff 8th and Trinity 6th.

Chris and Matt got into a hand which sent Chris home in 7th. (I did not see the hand so I do not have the details.)

Adam and Donnie get mixed up in a hand where Adam hit 2pair on the river while Donnie hit the nut flush. Donnie pushes and Adam insta-called. Donnie took down over 200k and gained the chip lead leaving Adam with only 76k.

Matt decides to push short stacked with JK and the Chip Leader Donnie called with 55. Matt managed to flop a Jack to take the pot. With only five players no one wants to go out on the bubble since the tourney pays out only four places.

Derrick was short stacked and moved allin with AKs and was quickly called by Matt who flips over pocket Aces (AA). Even though the board through the turn brought Derrick outs with a straight draw, flush draw and any King (flop paired his King) the Aces held up to send Derrick to the rail in 5th. He took home a poker chip set and finished the year like the Dolphins (0-12).

Now in the money with only four players. Donnie was the Chip Leader with Adam close behind. Matt and Sean held on with lower chip stacks.

Sean and Adam got mixed up in a hand when Sean pushed on the low stack and Adam called with A10. Sean turns over a Qc10c. Board came JJ887. Although two clubs came on the flop Sean could not improve and Adam sent Sean to the rail in 4th for $100.

With three players remaining, Matt and Donnie (who started playing looser with his big stack) once again got involved in a hand after a call and check to the flop. Flop came Jc-4c-4h. Donnie talked Matt into going all-in and Donnie insta-called. Matt flips over his Jh9d for two pair. Donnie turns over the AcAs for a better two pair. Matt could not improve and was sent to the rail in third.

Now in Heads Up play with Adam and Donnie. Donnie is the Chip Leader. First few hands are pretty much a raise fold situation. Adam holds about 100k while Donnie has about 260k. Adam pushes all-in with AsKc, Donnie calls with 9s5s and the board comes 10-3-3-2-3 giving Adam the pot and the chip lead once again.

A deal is discussed and made at 11pm. Both players agree to take $315 a piece and play out for the title, the trophy and the remaining $105. Play did not last many hands after this (maybe 3-4) With what I think was a blind all-in from the BB, Adam makes Donnie make a decision for all of his chips. Donnie looks at his cards and calls. They decide to run in before revealing their hole card. Board comes 5d-7h-3s-9s-Qc. Adam flips over K9c for a pair of nines. Donnie shows his A7 for a pair of sevens.

Adam takes down the pot and wins the 2007 Main Event.

Congratulations.

Adam also managed to knock out eight (8) players for an additional $45 in bounties (included his own bounty, since he did not get knocked out). Matt took home an extra $10 for his two (2) knock outs and Donnie took down one (1) knock out for $5.

1st-Adam, 2nd-Donnie, 3rd-Matt, 4th-Sean, 5th-Derrick, 6th-Chris, 7th-Trinity, 8th-Jeff, 9th-Brian, 10th-Jason, 11th-Mitch and 12th-Aris

Special thanks to Eddie for dealing the Main Event for most of the evening. Donnie for providing last place and 5th place prizes. Sean for hosting, dealing, ordering pizza, and taking care of all the details for our home game. And a special thanks goes out to someone who never plays in our games but deals with us playing at her house every month... Lisa.

Main Event...

The table is set. Who will walk away with the prizes?

To be determined...

Event #46 Results

With four players and a double stack, the online POY was on the line. Adam was the first to fall and then Sean went out when his pocket 88 did not improve against Trinity's pocket JJ. Heads up play started with Trinity holding a small chip lead over Brian. Brian was card lucky and put Trinity on a short stack. Trinity gets below $3K and pushes with a small pocket pair and Brian folds but the very next hand Trinity pushes again. Brian calls with A8o to go against Trinity's pocket KK. Brian flops an Ace to win $40 and seal the Online Player of the Year.

Chip Reese Died Tuesday Morning

PokerNews.com--The poker world erupted with shock and condolences this morning as news spread that three-time WSOP bracelet winner and legendary cash-game player David "Chip" Reese died early today, at the age of 56. His dominance in poker was so pronounced that in 1991 he was the youngest player ever inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame, an honor usually bestowed on those after a lifetime of achievement. more

Event #45 RPO - Solitary Man

We broke attendance records with this game of Omaha. Never in the history of RPO has this number of people managed to compete in a game where the Online POY hangs in the balance. Never has a single player taken down so many points for a game at this level.

Omaha, party of one your table is ready.

Outlaw Jesco takes down the event without a fight, pulling within range of the points leader.

Let's Talk About Mount Laurel, NJ

What can you tell me about Mount Laurel, NJ? Reed Poker Room has found a fan base in Mount Laurel, NJ. Does anyone in the RPL know anyone in Mount Laurel, or does our fan base in Mount Laurel know anyone in the RPL? It is always interesting to see how far our blog reaches with visitors from ten of the 50 states. Hell, I'm just glad there is something of interest on our blog. We have been working to add more things of interest and hope next year will bring even more. Cheers.

Don't forget tonight (Wednesday) is Event #45 in the RPO. With only two events left before the Main Event lets get a record 4+ on Full Tilt.

RPO Event #44 Results

Three players. One winner. After just under an hour Brian was able to take down the second player of the evening by sending Trinity to the rail. He had managed to send Sean to the rail earlier in the evening. By winning Event #44, Brian all but sealed the RPO Player of the Year Seat.

Need some $ to play online...

I became a member of www.NeverBeg.com in September. This is a poker staking site. It's a forum where people posts stakes for players to apply for if they qualify. The staker will state if it's a 50%/50% deal and if you profit you send the staker part of the money back. The site has a system that seems to work well.

It's a good place to get low stakes to start out your online bankroll or to stake players and try to win some money while you sleep, work, etc. I have had a couple of horses win me some nice money in stakes as low as $2.20.

I also am currently playing a $500 monthly series for multiple stakers which I have ran to about $1,800 currently. It's a good way to lower the variance of online play because all of the losses are not coming from your bankroll. Of course, you have to perform to keep getting stakes.

Check it out! ReedMoney is me SN.

New Players for 2008

Players,

With the upcoming season 2 starting in January it's a good time to get new players. Since I have up'd the min. games to qualify for the '08 Main Event to 4 games it is important that players attend as much possible.

Plus, with our nice "Player of the Year" and Tournament of Champions Freeroll prizes it should entice players to attend regularly.

RPO Event #43 Results

Need I say it... Three people again tonight, the same three as usual.

After a long battle, since this was a rebuy, Brian said no more when Sean broke him just before the break and was out. Sean started heads up with about a 4 to 1 chip lead. Heads up continued for awhile and on a turning point hand Sean put Trinity to a decision after the turn. Trinity thought long and hard with his flush draw not putting Sean on his set of sixes and called only to catch 1 of the 13 cards he needed to take the huge pot and the lead. Sean never recovered and the last hand Sean pushed with 89 and Trinity called with 99. A nine came on the flop and the game was over. Trinity took down the $22 pot.

The Main Event will be here before you know it (Saturday, December 8th). The following players qualify for the December game. This event is closed to anyone not listed below.

Reed Poker Online Event #43 Tonight

Don't forget tonight at 21:00 is the $2 Rebuy ($2+1) on Full Tilt for the Reed Poker League Online Event. See you at the tables.

Ship It!!!

Sean just won the $3 Rebuy tournament for the 2nd time on Full Tilt Poker. His win was good for $1,178.10 . This is his 5th overall $3 rebuy victory online over the last 12 months making him a $3 rebuy specialist!

He stayed in top 3-5 for the last two hours until his QQ was beat by A10 on river. From then on he had to grind his way to the FT. At the FT, Sean came in 7th in chip count. He grinded, pushed a couple of times and ended up catching a BB special by flopping a set that got paid off. He then proceeded to bust 4 of the remaining players.

Heads up play lasted 4 hands, as the other player kept asking to make a deal. Sean refused and then got a monster hand 24off. He raised 3x and got re-raised. Figuring his opponent probably had an AX he called. The flop came 478. Sean checked raised all-in with his pair of 4's w/ 2 kicker. He was instacalled with AK and the 4's held for the win.

RPL Event #11 Results

This month was a good turn out with ten players. This event was an important event because it was the last event before the December Main Event and three players were hoping to unseat the points leader for the free buy-in the the Main Event.

The first hand of the night had Adam and Derrick heads up for a huge pot. Derrick who took down the pot, had been waiting many months for this. (Adam has sent Derrick to the rail on a number of occasions). This left Adam short stacked and he made an early exit 30 minutes into the evening.

Matt's stack took a big hit when he did not believe Brad and called the allin. Brad's pocket K's held against Matt's pocket 4's. Shortly there after Matt was sent to the rail when he pushed UTG and Sean called with AJ in BB and Sean took down the pot. Trinity doubled up through Sean when his pocket 9s held against Sean's AKo. Within the next two hands Brad's pocket 9s held to put Brian, who had a lower pocket pair, out. Aris soon followed when he was short stacked and pushed allin preflop in the dark on the button prior to anyone even betting. Trinity pushed allin before it got back to Aris to get everyone else out when he looked down at KK.

Mitch and Derrick exited together for 6th and 5th when Mitch pushed with a small pair and Derricks A8s ran into the big stack of Brad who sent them home when his higher pocket pair held up.

Brad who took a number of hits to his stack was finally sent to the rail by Sean. Sean raised with 55 and Brad just called with KK. When the flop came 5xx, Sean checked to Brad who pushed. Sean instacalled and sent him home.

We are then in the money with three players, Donnie, Trinity and Sean (CL). Trinity sent Donnie home and heads up began at 11:10pm with Sean holding a minor chip lead. From the first hand on Trinity was getting a hot deck and Sean was cold decked. Sean got down to about and managed to double up then lose it and double up again. The final hand of heads up play came at 12:10am. Sean pushed allin as the small button and Trinity looked down at pocket deuces and insta-called. Sean turns over AK. Sean never improved. Game over. Good game.

Trinity and Sean each took down their sixth cash and Trinity took home his first bracelet.

10-Adam
9-Matt
8-Brian
7-Aris
6-Mitch
5-Derrick
4-Brad
3-Donnie

Reed Poker Online Event #42 Results

As usual only three players. It was a short night for OutlawJesco (3 min) Outlaw made a pot bet on the flop and was called by carguy who then hit a flush on the turn leaving Outlaw dead in the water. Outlaw called the allin thinking carguy was bluffing only to lose and sent to the rail.

The game continued heads up. Hands of interest was on the river when Carguy bluffed Allinreed off a hand with a board of 3Ax39. Reed held an Ace but folded to Carguys large bet. He showed 7-2. Another was not a big pot but still funny. Carguy shows his J2 with a board of J2XJ2. After 30 min AllinReed was able to take the lead from carguy. Carguy took it back and was able to win when he called AllinReed(Kx) vs Carguys (J8) when the board was xJAK and then Carguy caught the "8" on the river. Carguy takes the $15 win and keeps his RPL Online Points lead.

Bracelet Winner McKinney Arrestedin Kingsport Gambling Raid

As reported on PokerNews

2005 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Seniors Event winner William Paul "Cigar" McKinney was arrested last week along with 15 others during a gambling raid in Kingsport, Tennessee. Police were informed about the alleged operation via a citizen's tip and raided the building around 9:30 p.m. Friday night, only to find the men sitting around a table playing cards.

According to a report by the Kingsport Times-News, police seized $19,900 in cash, several decks of playing cards, poker chips and betting slips for both college and professional football games, labeled with the names of the people wagering and the amounts of their bets.

Police have determined that Donnie Godsey, part owner of the Hog Wild Saloon, was the game's proprietor. Godsey faces aggravated gambling promotion charges, as does McKinney, who allegedly ran a bookmaking operation from inside the makeshift poker room and is alleged to be one of the game's organizers. McKinney, 82, had an undisclosed number of pills on his person at the time of the raid and also faces one charge of possession of schedule III narcotics.

McKinney's arrest marks the second time in three months that a bracelet winner from the 2005 WSOP has been arrested during a poker raid. Back in September, Maciek "Michael" Gracz was arrested on gambling-related charges after a group of officers from the Alcohol Law Enforcement agency raided a single-story building in Benson, NC.

Don't Miss Wednesday Nights RPL Online

Don't forget Wednesday night at 9pm is the night for our weekly online game on Full Tilt. This week we will be playing Hold'em. Last weeks winner was OutlawJesco. Is he the horse to bet on again this week? We shall see. Good luck and I will see you on the felt.

Poker Wingman: To Have (or Have Not)

In a recent copy of Bluff Magazine, I saw an ad for Poker Wingman (a poker odds calculator). After looking over the website I decided to give it a try just to see what it was like and to see if it was worth using. As far as odds calculators go it was a good program. I had very few problems. The upside is it would automatically detect your hole cards and the flop etc.It was just as the site promised.

"...It automatically reads your cards, calculates your odds, and gives specific advice on how to play each hand. The free poker odds calculator works with play-money or real-money sites, and you don’t have to deposit funds in a poker room."

In the end the only real use I found for it was that it remembered my hole cards after I folded (since PokerStars does not show them). Would pay $40 for the pro version? Um No. Although I did try to find a hack for it to no avail. The advantage to the pro version would be to see the pot odds calculated and to control the "style of play". Mainly out of curiousity.

This may be a good program for a beginner and as a "what were my hole cards" assistant, otherwise I would not waste the time. You really have to play the player more than you play the cards. All my playing decisions were made on my knowledge with no assistance from the poker wingman. So what's the point?

Therefore my opinion is Have Not.

Blogger's Note: I plan to try to start including more poker information on the blog beyond just the league, whether it is a review of a book, program, website or just poker news of interest so please feel free to email me your personal reviews, news or big wins and I will be glad to post them.

Reed Poker Event # 11 Set for November 8th

Just a reminder that we'll be playing our last regular event of the year next Thursday, November 8th @ 7pm (Sean's House). This event will be a $40 buy-in w/ an optional $5 add-on.

Going into next Thursday, Adam, Sean and Trinity all have a mathematical chance of beating Brian for "Player of the Year"...but it'll be an uphill climb.

We will also discuss plans for next year and firm up time for Saturday, December 8th Main Event.

Please let me know if you can make it next Thursday as we have 4-5 firm commitments for next week right now.

Donnie, Steve and Andre need to play this event to qualify for the Main Event!

Can't Stop This HORSE

With the usual suspects in attendance the game started as usual. Brian took the lead after hitting Sean pretty hard. After about 40 minutes though we were all back to about even. Sean went on a run in the Stud portion of the game and managed to take a large lead. Brian was busted by Sean in the last hand of Stud H/L. This gave Sean about a 4.5-to-1 chip lead over Trinity who got pocket KK on the first hand heads up in the Limit Hold'em round. From that hand Trinity did not look back and Sean was card dead. Trinity was catching great cards and managed to take the lead from Sean. The rush for Trinity continued and the game ended after just over an hour.
HORSE winner - Trinity $9.75
2nd - Sean $5.25
3rd - Brian

The Latest Reed Poker Room Additions

Well instead of waiting to find a new place to host the Reed Poker Room Site I have decided just to add the necessary information to the blog. You can now find useful information in the right hand column that relates to the Reed Poker League whether it is related to the online games or the live events.

You can now find the top 5 in Player of the Year (POY) and RPL Online Points, schedule for upcoming live and online events, previous winners and a list of confirmed players for upcoming events.

Post-Halloween HORSE in the RPO on FTP

Thursday night we will be playing the much requested HORSE once again. Who will take it down this time or rather the bigger question... will we have more than 3 players? See schedule in right column of the blog as to when on Full Tilt.

Reed Poker Website Currently Down

Due to our host website, which we were attached to like a tapeworm to a human intestine,going down for nonpayment (Sean & I were not involved LOL), I will be moving the Reed Poker site (not to be confused with the Reed Poker Room Blog)to another location and will revive links and such at that time. I know that everyone has been missing it since we get as much traffic as Myspace. Reed Poker Readership = 2 to 3. Anyway...I will let you know of updates as they become available.

Taking Down the Two-fer

Wednesday nights RPO was action packed with only two players this week. Brian and I (Trinity) were like dueling banjos trying to play two tables against each other. Sean was about 5 minutes too late to play. With both tables going I was leading the Hold'em game and Brian leading the Pot Limit Omaha. We had about equal stacks on opposite tables (if that makes sense). After about 35 minutes I was able to finish Brian off in the Hold'em game and we could both then concentrate on the Omaha game. Brian who had a significant lead got unlucky on a couple of hands which allowed me to stay alive and my stack went on a roller coaster ride a couple of times. In the end I was able to gain the lead for the first time and never look back and with the grace of the card gods beat Brian in the Omaha game to dominate the double heads up game for 1st place points and $20. Good Game Brian. See you next week.

RPO Event #31 Results in a Heads Up Battle

Tonight we had a Reed Poker Online Event first. Trinity and Sean played heads up since no one else sat down at the table for a $10 pot. Tonights game: Omaha High PL. The game was shorter than usual since it was HU. Outlaw took an early lead but nothing special really happened until the final hand which came eight minutes into the game. Not exactly sure what happened since I cannot confirm with my unsaved hand history. But the flop came with 88x, Trinity checks, Sean bets, Trinity just calls. Turn brings a K, Trinity checks, Sean bets, Trinity just calls again. River brings a 3, Trinity bets, Sean raises, Trinity and Sean get allin for the game. Sean has Kings full of eights. Only to find... Trinity holding the nuts with the flopped quad eights.

2nd - Sean - $0
Champion - Trinity - $10

RPO EVENTS 31 & 32

8/22- $5.50 PL Omaha #31

8/29- $5.50 NL Holdem #32

Clean Sweep This Week!

RPO Event #30

This week's events started with Tuesday night's RPO Event #30 on Full Tilt. Only 4 players played the $2+1 rebuy event. Sean took a nap and joined alittle late. All players made it to the 1st break. Soon after the end of the break Jeff was busted by Matt. Then Trinity and Sean got tangled in a hand and Sean's 66 held to bust Trinity. Matt and Sean played heads up for the $36 prize. Sean eventually took Matt down and won the event.

Reed Poker League Event #8

Event #8 had 9 players show up with a couple of no-shows. We had two newcomers join us, Billy (Matt's bro) and Donnie ("Wells Fargo"). This was by far the most agressive, fast and bizarre event so far this year. We started alittle late and still finished shortly after 10pm. Let's proceed to the brutal beats section. :)

First hand was a big one when Donnie had trip Q's to beat whatever Anthony mucked. Donnie continued his rush to win a few more hands before tangling with Matt. Matt made a big raise pre-flop and got one caller, Donnie. All the chips get into the pot after the flop and Matt's AK gets rivered by Donnie flush draw. Matt finishes in 9th place.

Moments later, Adam made a raise pre-flop and Mitch called. The money gets in here too. Adam shows J3 to lose to Mitch's J10. Adam is out in 8th place.

At this point, Mitch and Donnie have most of the chips in play. However, the weren't scared to battle each other. They were heads up and the flop came K high. Mitch shoves with AK and Donnie calls w/ AJ. Runner-runner Q10 sends Mitch to the rail in 7th place. Donnie is a massive chip leader now.

Anthony short stacked from the first hand finally shoves his last $1700 in and Aris calls. Anthony felts KQ and Aris is dominated showing KJ. Well, the flop brought a J and no Q ever came. Anthony finishes in 6th place.

Play continued 5-handed for awhile because we were close to the "bubble". Trinity looks down at JJ and makes a large raise. It folds around to Billy who calls pretty quickly. The flop comes K4x and Trinity shoves it in after the flop. Billy calls and shows K4 leaving Trinity with only two outs. No J and Trinity finishes in 5th place and pissed.

Now on the bubble, Sean looks down at 99 and raises. He gets two callers and the flop brings another 9. Donnie moves all-in and and is the shorter stack in the pot. Sean feels stregth from Billy and decides to raise. Billy folds and Sean's set beats Donnie's draw. Donnie started off on fire, but fizzled to a 4th place finish.

In the money, Sean wins another pot with a set of 9's. Then Aris and Billy get involved in a hand that had a pitiful looking flop of 8-high. Aris makes a move and moves all-in only to instacalled by Billy who shows 83 for top pair. Aris shows 62 for a draw that does not hit. Aris finishes in 3rd place for his second consecutive 3rd place finish and $60.

Heads up play begins with Billy holding a considerable chip lead over Sean. Very little folding pre-flop in this one. Eventually, Sean doubles a couple of times. A key hand was when Sean hit a straight with his weak holdings 34off to win a big pot. The last hand Sean raised pre-flop with J10 and Billy called. Flop brings a J, so Sean c-bets and Billy calls. After the turn, Sean moves all-in and gets called. Billy has K-high and no river K comes. Billy finishes in 2nd place for $90. Sean wins Event #8 and $150.

Sean's consistent cashes (5/8 events) have moved him into a tie with Adam in the POY race. Matt is in 3rd place just a few points behind.

What are the odds?

With blinds at 300/600 JJ (59%) raises to $5500 preflop and gets called by out of position K4o (22%). What the fuck!

Reed Poker Online Event Tonight (Tuesday)

Don't forget tonight is the Reed Poker Online Event #30 (23699763) it is a $2+1 rebuy tournament. See you at the tables and don't forget your money.

See you on the felt.

RPO Event #29 Results - It's About Time

We had a good turn out for Hold Em Event #29 with seven players. It took at least 30 minutes before anyone would hit the rail. Jeff's went to the rail first when his pocket Jacks could not compete with Matt's flopped pair of Kings. Matt held a comfortable lead for some time only taking a big hit when he and Trinity went heads-up with a preflop raise, reraise and reraise all-in. Trinity's JJ held against Matt's AQ. Greg was the next to fall (I think at the hands of Chris). Brian, who never made it to the table, was chipped away for a 5th place finish. Sean who became short stacked pushed with A9 (I think) to be called by Trinity's AK was next to fall for a 4th place finish. Play continued with Chris, Matt and CL Trinity. Matt finished 3rd giving Trinity comfortable chip lead for heads up play with Chris (last weeks winner).

Heads-up play lasted some time with chips moving back and forth. Chris played a mean short stack getting below 1k a couple of times only to double up and build a stack back coming within about 1k matching chips with Trinity. Trinity's aggressive heads-up play paid off after 1h 50min of play. Good game and a good showing for our 29th event.

Hope to see everyone next week for our Aug game on WED Aug 15th.

**REMEMBER - Next weeks RPO Event #30 will be played on Tuesday night**

RPO Week 28 Results!

Week 28's RPO event was out first HORSE event. We only had 4 players show up, but it was a fun event and nice payout because it was "Winner-take-all".

It was confusing as heck to keep up with knockout hands, so here's the results.

4th Place- Trinity
3rd Place- Sean
2nd Place- Matt

1st Place- Chris for $20

RPO #27 Results

Tonights game of Omaha H/L PL was a first for the Reed Poker League. Action started slow. Thanks to DSL, Sean was able to connect long enough to see himself go out after about 30 min of play. Matt managed to hold the lead for some time. After the break Trinity was able to take out Jeff with two pair against Jeff's pair to take the lead.

In the money, play became a bit more aggressive with Trinity, Matt and Brian. Brian took a big pot off of Trinity to take the lead for the remainder of the game. Trinity and Matt were both low on chips and faced off two hands in a row all in. They split both pots with one on the high and the other on the low. Trinity goes out after an hour and 35 min of play.

Heads up play begins with Brian with about a 10:1 chip lead to Matt. Two minutes later the game is over with the RPO points leader (Brian) taking down another week.
5th - Sean
4th - Jeff
3rd - Trinity ($5)
2nd - Matt ($7.50)

RPL Event #7 Results!

Event #7

We had a great turnout of 13 players buying in for $40 last night. Play started off as usual with small pot poker, then we hear the words “all-in”. The words came from table two where the brother-in-law’s Trinity and Adam had both hit monsters on the flop. Trinity’s AK and Adam’s 66 hit big on the flop of KK6. Trinity had 3 A’s and one K to win the pot. Neither hit and was busted. Adam’s in typical fashion assumes the early chip lead.

Moments later, table one exploded with 3 all-ins post flop. Derrick had both players covered and had set of 4’s. Aaron had top two pair and Chris had bottom two pair on the flop of 10-5-4. Derrick’s set holds up and he gets the chip lead.

Play is now down to 10 players and we redraw

for seats and button at the final table.

· Brian who seemed to be struggling to catch cards decides to gamble and gets called by Aris who finishes him off.

· Next man down was newcomer Steve.

· Tom tries to steal the blinds and gets a call from Jeff. Jeff’s hand holds up and Tom is done for the evening.

· Derrick who had a big stack, but kept getting “1-up’d” in almost every pot finally pushed with his QQ. Jeff calls with AK and it hits to bust Derrick.

· Matt makes a raise w/ AQ and Mitch calls it w/ A4. The flop comes A4x and all the money goes in before the turn. Matt can’t catch a Q or other pair and finishes in 6th place.

· Play continues until Jeff raises from the button and Sean goes into the tank then calls w/ 66. Jeff shows over cards, but they do not hit. Jeff finishes on the bubble.

· Adam, who took some big hits to his stack eventually, gets it all-in vs. Mitch. Mitch’s hand is a winner and 3-time champ Adam finishes 4th for $50.

· Play continued 3-handed for a while, then Aris shoves and states that he had nothing, but wants a call. Mitch obliges by calling 56 and Aris shows 97. When all 5 cards are dealt Mitch has a full house to Aris’ straight. Aris takes home $80 for 3rd place.

Heads-up play

Somehow both of the short stacks when blinds were 600/1200 survived to the final two players. Mitch had about $4,000 and Sean $2,700 at one time during previous levels. Blinds increased to 3000/6000 and Sean was well behind with $38k to Mitch’s $110k+. They were playing for a bracelet, $210 and bragging rights, so no deal was even spoke of. Mitch continued his aggressive all-in style and finally Sean caught a couple of hands to take the chip lead. It went back and forth for several hands. Finally, Mitch goes all-in preflop w/ Qc2c and Sean instacalls with AK. The flop brings 106K, but with 2 clubs. The turn is the Ac to give Mitch his flush and Sean needs an A or K for a boat. No boat and Sean takes 2nd place for $120.

Mitch in his first RPL event wins $210 and a bracelet.

RPO #24 Results!

Last night we had only 4 players play in the "winner take all" PL Omaha Event. Sean ended taking it down for $20 and his 2nd PL Omaha victory.

Reed Poker Online Event #22 Results

Tonights game had 6 or 5 players depending on how you look at it. Reed managed to last until 4th place without even playing a hand… well except for two of his all ins that resulted in him winning and doubling or tripling up.

Outlaw was on a rush and could not help but win hands early on to take the lead. Jeff who is usually the one catching cards must have hit a cold deck tonight since he played almost as many hands as Reed.

Outlaw Jesco knocked off Sloce, Harley and Reed, while Mukraven took out Car_guy. Lasted 2:45 with HU battle between Outlaw and Mukraven lasting an hour with a lot of back and forth action ended with matt all in with 78o and trinity calling with A4o. Trinity flopped 2 pair to finish Matt off.

Trinity who lost a big pot with QQ to start normal play went card dead and decided to shove with A5. Adam instacalled with A6. Adam's hand held and Trinity finishes in 5th place.

Now we're at the cash bubble with Jeff and Sean both shortstacked. Jeff gets KJ to push with and gets called with Adam's AQ. Adam's hand held again to knock Jeff out on the bubble.

Sean surives to the money after the big pot vs. Adam earlier. Three-handed play, Sean called the BB with J9 suited, Matt folds and Adam checks. The flop comes 973. Sean pushes all-in with his top pair and Adam instacalls with 74. Sean has to avoid Adam's 6 outs, but Adam catches a 7 on the river to bust Sean 3rd place. Sean wins $80 for 3rd place.

Matt and Adam are now heads-up with Adam holding an approx. 3:1 chip lead. After a few hands, the money gets all-in and Matt hits fours cards to a flush to double. Alittle later, both players have junk hands and Adam ends up with a full house to doubles through Matt failed flush.

RPO Event #20 Results Are In

Tonights tourney was a $2+1 rebuy and there was equal parts tight equal parts loose play at the table. Early on Sean was taking down pots like he owned it. He probably caused most of the rebuys. In frustration some saw him as the "donkey king" others the "king of rebuys". Sean did succumb to the bad flop gods when as the aggressor he flopped top pair and a good kicker while Jeff with wired twos flopped his set. This put Sean out and made Jeff a dominating chip leader at the end of the rebuy period.

Action continued tight as everone was aware of the bubble situation and Jeff's large stack (about a 4:1 stack) but even the tall must fall at some point. Trinity hit some good hands to build back up from the low stack and become a contender in the race to not go out on the bubble. Matt of course became frustrated when Trinity would hit the board and Matt could not continue. It all came to a head when Matt with a set of 6's decided to look Trinity up when Trinity pushed all in. Only to find Trinity also had a set of 6's with a 9 kicker to Matt's 7. Matt finished 4th.

In the money, action continued with some aggression since blinds and antes where getting higher. Trinity put a dent in Jeff's stack to take the lead when his AQ flopped 2 pair for a pot of about $10k. Within a couple of hands Jeff took another hit when his wired 8's allin preflop was called by Brian with Ax. Brian flopped the A and ended with a straight for about $12k. Now crippled with a short stack($1.5k) Jeff has little choice but to push all in. This worked the first time but not the second when Trinity (A6) called Jeff (J8). The ace paired and Jeff was out 3rd.

Now Heads up and chip stacks are almost exactly even. Play continued with the lead bouncing between Trinity and Brian. Both of which were surprised to be heads up. Trinity flopped top pair Qs to be called allin by Brian's wired Aces. Trinity goes out 2nd and Brian finishes 1st. Will Brian reclaim the online points lead with this win? We shall see.

5th Sean
4th Matt
3rd Jeff $8.80
2nd Trinity $13.20
1st Brian $22

RPO Event #18 Results!

Last night's week #18 RPO event has 6 players buy-in for a chance at our first "non-holdem" title. The game was Pot Limit Omaha Hi.

Play started fast as Matt took an early chip lead after winning a nice size pot from Trinity and Greg.

It didn't take long for the first player to go down. Sean and Greg got involved in a pot when the flop was 6 hi and Greg bet out. Sean re-raised all-in w/ only pocket 7's hoping for a fold from Greg. Greg was going know where because he held AAin the hole. The turn brough a 7 and Sean busted Greg w/ a set of 7's.

Play continued for alittle while until Sean, Jeff and Trinity saw a flop together. Trinity short-stacked pushes w/ Q's, Sean folds and Jeff calls. The turn brought Jeff the nut flush and sent Trinity to the rail in 5th place.

Four-handed play lasted only about 4 hands after Matt hits a set of Q's on the flop. However, Sean had a set of K's. Matt finished on the bubble in 4th place.

At this point, Sean held over a 2:1 chip lead over 2nd place Jeff. All three players decide to see a unraised flop and it come 444. Jeff checks, Brian bets 300 and Sean smooth calls holding quad 4's. Sean continued to let Brian lead the way as Brian was holding 4's over K's for a boat. After the river Brian pushes w/ his full house and Sean types "gg" and calls with quads. "GG" Brian for a 3rd place finish and $6.00.

Heads-up play started w/ Sean holding about a 3.8:1 lead over Jeff, who's been on fire lately in the RPO. Sean basically was raising pre-flop every hand because of his chip lead. Finally, Sean raises his typical to 360, Jeff re-raises and Sean goes all-in. Sean has QQ92 and Jeff has AKQ2. Jeff's A or K never hit. Jeff continues his nice run of cashes in the RPO for $9.

Sean wins his 4th RPO event for $15 and our first non-holdem event.

Sean moves to 3rd place in the standing while Matt drops to 4th. Brian and Jeff round out the top 2 spots.

May Event #5 Results!

Last night we had a great turnout for Event #5 with 12 players. The buy-in was $40 and it paid out 4 places. Two tables of 6 started the action w/ one player on each table being blinded til they arrived. Play early on was pretty tight with every feeling out their opposing players.

Jason was knocked out about an hour into play by Chris.

Within a minute, Derrick was busted by Adam and we moved to one table.

At about 8:30pm, Adam was at it again busting a fellow bracelet winner Anthony in 10th place.

Newcomer Aris went out in 9th place when his AQoff got beat by Aaron's A6 flush.

About 2 1/2 hours into play newcomer Jim made a stand with AQ only to run into Chris' KK. The K's held and Jim finished in 8th place.

Next was Matt who's stack went up and down all night got busted by Adam to finish in 7th place.

Aaron who had his best night to-date finished in 6th place after being busted by Chris.

Bubble time! Brian pushed w/ QQ and Adam had him dominated with AA. Adam caught a full house and busted Brian in 5th place.

"In The Money"

Play was tight 4-handed w/ exception of Adam, of course. :)

Sean was card dead for well over an hour and finally saw QQ to push all-in. Trinity called w/ AJ and got a J on the flop and A on the river to bust Sean in 4th place winning his $40 back.

Chris went down next by Trinity and took 3rd place for $75. I think it was T's KK vs. Chris' AX.

Down to HU play which lasted almost an hour. A chop was mentioned by Adam, but Trinity wanted a bracelet and bragging rights. The stacks went up and down until a pivotal hand when Adam won about $20K+ from Trinity without a showdown. After that hand Adam continued his aggressive play. Trinity finally pushed all-in trying to take the blinds and Adam picked up 66 and called. Trinity had 107 for a race, but a 6 hit the flop and spelled the end for the HU battle. Trinity took home $115 for second place.

Adam became our first 2-time bracelet winner and won $190 for his victory.
