A Chip and a Chair
Any Texas holdem poker player getting close to the felt or anyone sympathizing with him will proudly announce, "Chip and a chair!" To indicate the fact that this is all you need to win a tournament (that and a tremendous amount of luck). This saying is said to have come from the fact that Jack Treetop Strauss, a legendary gambler, pushed his chips in during the 1982 World Series of Poker main event and lost. He got up to leave the table when he discovered one more chip under a napkin. Since he didnt actually say all-in, the chip was in play and he was still alive. Strauss put the chip in and won the next hand and the hand after that. He kept on winning and by the end, found himself with all the chips as the champion of the WSOP.
This story is true. However, the chip and a chair expression originates from another miraculous Strauss event. Years earlier, Strauss was having a bad run and was one green chip away from being flat broke. He bet it on a hand of blackjack and won. He let it ride and won again. He kept going until he reached $400. He headed to the poker tables, sat down and promptly turned that $400 into $1,000, leaving before the odds could catch up with him. Now holding a small fortune, he figured he couldnt just stop, eventually putting thegame online penghasil uang chips back on blackjack. He promptly doubled up twice, headed back to poker and tripled his money again. He then went back to blackjack and continued his winning streak. By the time, he was done with blackjack, poker and even sports betting, Strauss chip and a chair had turned into $25,000 and new life.
This story makes me want to take a shot with my limited online Texas holdem bankroll, but maybe its just another myth.
Even A Donkey Like Me...
...can play cards like these!
You can't beat this pre-flop. Some might just call here but I don't like it. So many people overplay too many hands that AA has crippled here that re-raising is really the only option. I ended up making it 840 to go, he pushed, and showed AK.
Another easy spot. Raised off the button looks like a steal from the big stack and BB re-raises. I push as he was pot committed and he calls with QQ.
This was the sickest thing I have seen in awhile. Probably since this! I ended up dropping my hand after a bet up front and the re-raise. They didn't get their money all in until the turn though. I am normally AA in this spot. Just ball crushing sick.
