Delaware Valley Poker Club/Series II (view source)
Revision as of 01:15, 30 October 2008

This way, ''all'' '''DVPC''' participants stand a chance of making back original stakes (and then some), while the Jackpot winner will earn much more than any of the rest of us, even with taxation considered. Is this really any different than trusting your money with a mutual fund manager? I say not.

== Outcome ==
Bobby Zetusky took the $640 jackpot and entered a $500 Saturday U.S. Poker Open tournament at the Trump Taj Mahal on September 20, 2008. There were 299 entrants, with the top 27 getting paid out, but Bob fell just a bit short, getting knocked out in 29th place. Bob gives the play-by-play himself:
<blockquote>I battled a short stack the 2nd half of the tourney, which I played for 11 hours. I would have received around $1450 if I made the money. The final hand: Blinds were $1000/$2000 with a $300 Ante, eight players at my table. My stack was $5400 (I could not get a hand -- I got 9-4 offsuit so many times, I think if I ever get that hand again I'll go nuts).
<br><br>
I was in the Big Blind for $2000 + $300 ante -- I put my remaining $3100 on my cards indicating I have to call with any 2 cards. Last time I did this, I got a walk.
<br><br>
Folds around to the button, who was also short -- somewhere around 14000. I played with this guy most of the night. Solid player but does make moves. He pushes all in. Small blind thinks for a couple of minutes and folds.
<br><br>
There's $2400 in antes, $3000 in blinds, plus $5100 from the button, totaling $10500 in the pot. So I have to pay $3100 to win $13600. I have to play any 2 cards here, so I figure if I look at my cards I might end up folding (that would be horrible) so I just throw in my remaining chips without looking at my cards.
<br><br>
Button shows 3-3. I flip over A-2 spades. Some hope.
<br><br>
Flop brings a 3, and he turns another 3. Dreaded quads!!
<br><br>
I am very disappointed in my finish. I think my play was average at best, and I missed some opportunities to make moves. It was a good and fun experience, and I had some dead-on reads (too bad I wasn't in most of the hands).</blockquote>
Bobby, you may have been disappointed, but the Club is noticing that we're finishing higher and higher in the Beeg Weenah tournament, every time. Next time is assuredly a lock on the money cut.

== Previous Outcome(s) ==
*'''[[Delaware_Valley_Poker_Club/Series_I|Series I]]''' - Bill Myers took the $1375 Jackpot and headed two times to Atlantic City to participate in $500 + $60 tournaments. In his first bid, his pocket QQ was cracked by an inferior hand, and he went out 29th out of 61 players, no payout. In his second bid, the scheduled $500 tourney at the Borgata was cancelled, forcing Bill to play in a $200 + $30 at Trump Taj Mahal. Bill exited early. Per the Commissioner's recommendation, he played $5 slots to try to make up a big payout for the Club, but to no avail. About $150 remains in his Fund, and Bill will try to play a $100 tournament sometime soon, but the Club is considering the jackpot "expended". Time for Series II and better luck.
