Playing with the Pros: Lynette Chan

January 11th, 2010 -- Posted in EthanCainePoker.com News | 2 Comments »

So I decided to play a super high limit SitNGo 45 Person tourney $1 + .10 buy in, when lo and behold who is sitting 2 positions to my left but Lynette Chan.  I totally chatted her up asking her about poker and why she was playing a $1 SitNGo at 3am.

She said she couldn’t sleep…which is really hot because shes a hot asian chick and its hot when hot asian chicks can’t sleep.

Wonder What We She Could Our Kids?

She Totally Wants Me...

I also asked her if there were any good books I should read to get better at poker and she said she really liked Ace On The River which has a chapter about having sex with prostitutes.

I totally think she was coming on to me…so hot.

Anyway just thought I would make you all jealous cause I’m better than you people.

Getting Better But Still Impatient…

October 7th, 2009 -- Posted in EthanCainePoker.com News, Poker Strategy | No Comments »

While i’m getting better at taking my time I still get impatient now and again.  The image below is a picture of a tournament I was in this morning.  I flopped TRIP 10s, raised everyone else out of the pot except one guy.  I had Trip 10s with A high kicker after the flop so I was PRETTY sure that I had the best of it.  He did have a 10 Q and if the situation was reversed I would have gone ALL IN on TRIP 10 Q if someone pushed me all in.

TRIPS vs TRIPS

TRIPS vs TRIPS

I was playing small ball with this table for the whole thing so I felt I made good decisions throughout.  How ever I should have just bet HIGH not ALL IN.  Even though I won its about making SOLID GOOD plays not CRAZY PLAYS and sucking out.  This is a recipe for disaster.

Anyway I came in 1st place with a lesson learned.  Pretty good tournament I think.

My First 1st Place Finish In A Tournament

September 30th, 2009 -- Posted in EthanCainePoker.com News | No Comments »

Entered an online tournament on Full Tilt Poker and placed 1st.  I think I played solid throughout using Small Ball strategy on the final table and stealing those precious blinds.  I kept the pressure on the table constantly so no one really knew what I had.  When I DID have a hand I bet for value and had people betting into me because since I appear to bet so much they assume I call with anything.

The Final Hand - 1st Place

Going to Vegas in 15 days so I’m gonna keep reading, studying, and playing.
