Trip Report
by Doug Anderson
This past weekend I had the great pleasure of attending ATLARGE V at the
Trop in Atlantic City. Before I give MY version of my experience at the
tables, I would like to thank 4 people for making this past weekend a
memorable one for me, a GREAT poker weekend.
First and foremost, Tiger and Foldem for picking up the reins of a run away
horse initially tamed by Jazbo, and making ATLARGE V possible.
Secondly, Kate and Patrice, (I hope I am not horribly mis-spelling your name
Patrice). These two ladies, with the help of their outstanding staff in the
Trop Poker Club, treated ALL of the ATLARGE crowd like high rollers (even
those of us that seldom see the 10-20 table).
Now, for the real time play by play of my ATLARGE Holdem tourney action.
I start the tourney in seat 4 table 1.
Hand 1 - 83o - fold
Hand 2 - AcAh - UTG folds, I make it 100 to go, 2 seats to my left, Jaeger,
(Eric) makes it 200, and the table folds to me. I thinking, "Ive got you
now!" go all in to the tune of 500, which Jaeger eagerly calls. I roll over
my rockets to watch him roll over, you guessed it, his rockets.
At this point I'm thinking, well that got the blood going, now I will be
awake for the rest of the tourney, figuring there is this small matter of
flopping 5 cards, and the dealer pushing back our chips and splitting the 15
blinds. About this time I here someone say "hey, one of these two may have
a free roll!" and watch the dealer flop
Heart Spade Spade
Turn - Spade
River - (WAIT FOR IT!)
SPADE
IGHN
The good news is Jaeger used his skill and my chips to make it to the final
table. Oh, I went outside to the boardwalk to watch the Swedish Bikini Team
do a photo shoot on the beach....much better use of time.
Any way, even though I spent all of 10 minutes in the tourney I had a great
time and am already looking forward to next year.
