The November Nine 2009

We are looking for the next WSOP Champion. To do this we will be prepared to back all bloggers who contribute to this website and are willing to keep us updated with their progress.

Our backing will be financial and we will expect a split (70:30 in favour of the player).  Obviously we are taking a risk and therefore we will need people with the mental capacity to grind out a place like last years third Antoine Saout who was our pick when he was a massive 18/1.

More updates of this new and special scheme when we get them watch this space.

Joseph Cada - Champion

Joeseph Cada is WSOP Champion 2009. His pair of 9’s held up for him to walk away with $ 8,546,435.

Altough I didn’t have a penny on him it does make me feel better that this was the guy who knocked out our pick Saout.

Antoine Saout

Our boy played a brilliant game fighting from 6th place to become chip leader, however, he succumbed to losing to a pair of deuces which reduced his chips significantly and finally getting rivered by a King, both to the same player Joe Cada.

From a betting point o view it was unfortunate but at least we had a good run for our money and quite frankly I would love to get 18/1’s like Antoine Saout. Still he did collect $3,479,670 for his time.

damn deuces

Antoine Saout

The big event on Saturday is set to start 12 noon (Pacific Time) and I have been given a surprise tip by Magical Tipser - it is Antoine Saout.

He is the 25 year old Frenchman who is the surprise package in this years final and subsequently he is a big price (18/1 on Betfair). As the rank outsider he is expected to be one of the first to be knocked out, however, do not be surprised if he stays in a lot longer than most people think.

Apparently he has been practicing very hard by playing in all sorts of tournaments and seems to have a lot of stamina which is needed for such competition.

James Akenhead - come into the calculations as another big price (15/1) but he is also short stacked and he too will need a miracle, but sometimes miracles do happen.

Christina Lindley - Poker Totty

For those who have been taking interest in NTWSOP, you will be intrigued in the Herculean efforts that have been put into teaching casual passer bys the rudiments of poker playing, and, the pleasure of calling a hand to have it beaten by a lunatic bet. Here is another one!

When you have 3 Jacks you do not expect to have someone raise you with a Ace high card well my friends it happened to me and wow what a buzz it created to see it come off. I had 3 Jacks and I played my hands so well I played it to well and was raised by a Ace. Naturally I was pleased to accommodate such a bet until a 4 turned up to give said lunatic a straight Ace to 5!

Rudyard Kipling once said in his famous poem ‘’If’’, that if you could throw your last dime on a pitch and toss and lose then you would be a man. Well all I can say to that is I would rather be a eunuch and win because losing such a hand is tantamount to being a bitch in San Quentin . To top it off my on off affair with the Mancunian married squeeze has now gone into freefall with her about to confess all to her husband, and, to top it all off Austria scored a injury time penalty to destroy my beautiful treble with Turkey beating Switzerland and Croatia beating Germany- days like these are hard to swallow.

Ok ladies and gentlemen as you can tell I am writing this essay from the Birmingham UK and not from Las Vegas USA. I am helping to organise a poker tournament in which the top prize will be a T-shirt and not a zillion dollar gold bracelet. Something tells me that in the grand scheme of things I am not a big poker player at all.

The World Series of Poker has just started and if I described it as the Holy Grail for poker players I would not be underestimating its significance to the poker world. Here the big whales and their wannabe competitors play for serious money to get to the stage where they can be considered a top man or woman and also win loads of spondoollies.

I on the other hand I will be playing with a couple of gambling mad women and beer soaked blokes in a event which mirrors the World Series Of Poker in ambition but not in prize money. At least the women at my tournament are hot! In fact I am thinking of calling it the Not The WSOP as direct competition to the real thing and see if we cannot generate some publicity!

OK at the Not The WSOP our table service consist of beer and sandwiches but you have to get them yourself - what do you think this is a hotel? If you can’t get served at the bar it’s because the barmaid is sorting out the ladies toilet which has overflowed - again! Like I said we have loads of hot women but they are also big drinkers and are not that impressed with stories about your wife not understanding you, so cut the chat and get the beers in! At the WSOP the poker tables don’t move around but at the Not The WSOP you get the added benefit of moving tables because all our tables are on not too sturdy legs.

Remember don’t throw your chips into the pot as they might bounce up and go into someone’s beer - not a good idea around these parts! At the WSOP you will have loads of variations, at Not The WSOP you will have Texas No Limit Hold ‘Em and the odd game of brag and that’s it because we will be too drunk for anything too complicated. If there is an important race on (i.e. I have a double running onto the final leg of my patent) as tournament director I have the right to suspend the game until the race has finished - any complaints and you will lose 50% of your chips.

All games will finish by 11:30pm as the owner wants her beauty sleep - and who are we to argue! As you can see the professionalism of our tournament is up there with the big boys and with the added benefit of being in the company of fit women who don’t charge by the hour. So if you are passing Birmingham and want a good night out come along to the New Victoria Social Club for a laugh and see how they do it at The Not The World Series of Poker tournament.

Just to finish this posting here is our tournament poem written by a friend in Romania who is a professor of something or other, so is very clever:

Life’s an everyday play
But if loosing the game
You’ll be thrown away
Where are no paths to the human day…
Only the winners - if they are choosing right -
Remain in the light…
