FieryJustice: busto at caesars 5k

http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//article.php?story=20080429195814366


Hahaha...really, going out with 10 8!! I told you this fish makes some of the worst mistakes you'll ever see, and this time he can't blame the "high blinds". He called a 3-bet preflop (??? No wonder he keeps raising you) with 10-high and lost it all with top pair and a hopeful draw. Don't try to convince us it was 50-50, you were definitely dogging it there. You got outplayed. Simple...why don't you just admit it?

"...so I will hopefully have lots of time to sit around the house and grind."

Sounds like a fun, balla life...NOT.

UPDATE: some classic comments on Little Jon's blog

j000hnnyd: Hello Heater

http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//article.php?story=20080429031401886

Why on earth would you want TWO wsop packages??? No one is going to buy it off you for the full amount, which instantly loses you money. Very -EV, but what can you expect?
Watch out for the next Spacegravy vid, due December 2009.
Why don't you focus on WINNING MONEY rather than number of games played? Any donkey can play X number of games, but to play them profitably, now that's the trick. And it's a trick you haven't quite grasped yet.

jizbiz: Moved back to Party

http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//article.php?story=2008042800313954


Woohoo! Someone posted yesterday that they wanted more hate on the utter toolbags which are FuggFrist and jizbiz. Frist I knew went busto ages ago, but I was waiting for jizbiz to stop losing and post something in order to get my teeth into this fish.

And now he has.


The reason for this blog is obvious given the first line..."Starting to win a ****load of money again...". His last post was TWO AND A HALF MONTHS AGO!!!! Wow, that's some losing period, even for a terrible player like jizbiz. So, he got tired of losing his ass against the good players on PokerStars and FullTilt and has decided to look for easier games and swim with the other fishies on PartyPoker.

It's an admission that you suck dude.

While it's obvious this idiot is running good due to the well-known Party Starty effect (all new players and players re-depositing after a long break immediately have variance on their side - to make them think they are great players and hence keep playing), he doesn't realise this and thinks he's the best player alive. LOL. We'll see how long his "push and hope" strategy lasts when the Party Starty effect wears off. To give an example, I've seen jizbiz re-push for 35BB on LEVEL 1 with A9o (he lost to AA). Stuff like that just makes me laugh.

Expect the next blog entry from jizbiz in 3 months time. :-)

#1 Stalker: North American Poker Chamionship 2008

http://www.thepokerbay.org/details.php?id=2438

You can download the final table of this tournament at the above link.

So here we go, a little analysis of everyone's favorite donkey - Jonathan Little. The show begins with the biggest dufus photo of all time. The moron is trying to look mean...and fails. This dude would wet his pants if Mimi Tran said BOO to him. So this dude starts the final table as chip leader (I wonder how he got those chips...can anyone say "multiple 3 outers"?). You might have thought he'd have learnt his lesson and not wear gay sunglasses again...oh well.
Mike Sexton: "It seems like a frat party game to me, but there's one big difference...Jon Little failed college and was too geeky to join a fraternity."
So the first hand donkey is in and calls a raise out of position dominated with J10 v K10. Great start. Now a good player like Ivey would bet the flop representing an ace, or at least to see where he his. Not dufus, he checks it to the river like a girl and loses a ton on the end.
He folds and folds away and waits for the first two players to be knocked out to ladder up cheaply. This was the smartest move he made all day. Now he starts to play and picks K6 to raise from the steal position against one of the most successful players ever. Wrong move buddy. You lose. Barry makes the easy read and shoves and donkey hollywoods for a while and folds. Lesson learnt.
Next he min-raises with AQ and folds to Scott Clements re-raise with K5...lol. Nice move bozo. A push wins the pot right there. Even the amateur knew Scott was full of it. You know when an amatuer makes reads you can't, you're in trouble.

Donkey folds some more and then decides to "defend" his big blind against Barry's AK with J9 offsuit. Another great spot (not). At this point you just know he's steaming a bit and will be aggro if he hits any of the flop...regardless of what Barry has. Pussy call on the flop. And hey presto he gets aggro with a straight draw (he can't possibly think his 9 is good given Barry's play and 2 overcards, and the fact that Barry has been showing down the nuts pretty much every hand he played). Luckily for him Barry got unlucky and didn't hit anything otherwise donkey was out right there. Vince van Patten continues his abuse of dufus by calling him "Little Jon" lol...classic.

Cut to interview. Could this dude be any gayer? He REALLY doesn't come across on camera very well, which is probably why he says nothing at the table. He's trying to hint that he's in the same league as the great players who have earned their wins. Get real buddy.

Next hand, Little Jon calls more raises preflop with 7 high. Nuff said. He folded on the flop.
Vince van Patten with another classic shot at the donkey: "He leaves it up to his little family with big dreams (cut to retard family who are too dumb to understand what's going on, so have Tom Dwan explaining to them what a pair is and covering up how bad their dufus son is playing), hoping that their little son will take home a little bit of money, though under very little pressure"
Mike Sexton: "Oh Vinny, that is BAD!" (i.e. I agree with you, he's a small time player who gets lucky, but I'm a nice guy so don't want to be-LITTLE him on TV)
Barry Greenstein, who had read donkey SO WELL all tournament is a victim of a Jon Little special (although donkey didn't do the deed himself - he was scared shit-less of Barry) and get's 3 outered after all the money went in preflop. Donkey must be happy about that.
Next hand Scott Clements limps in the small blind with a suited ace and dufus abliges by raising with king high. Another great spot... Dufus completely misses and Scott is licking his lips. Now, how to extract money from this loser...let him hang himself. Donkey catches a 9 and goes ahead but is too scared to bet. A ridiculous 9 on the river seals the post for dufus. This is the ONLY card in the deck that he could catch to make him bet out (he would shit himself if the 9 was a heart putting 3 heart on the board). He gets excitied and bets a stupid high amount but gets paid off. This is a great example of how this idiot has any chance of winning chips. The look from Scott was priceless...."YOU LUCKY FRIGGIN DONKEY". He actually said "Nice hand Jon" in a very sarcastic manner.
Hehe, I loved this next hand. A8 suited raise on the button, fine. But the raise is tiny so gets a call in the big blind with J8 from an obviously tilting Scott Clements (he's just got extremely unlucky in the previous two hands). Flop jack high. Scott leads out as he should, Jon calls with 3 outs (great spot...). Scott bets again, bigger this time. Easy fold right? WHOA...DONKEY WENT ALL IN!!! AGAINST A TILTING PLAYER WITH TOP PAIR!!!??? Quick call, nice 1.4m loss Jon, that's over half your chips. He looks like he just crapped himself, probably has...twice.
Next hand dufus goes crazy again with AJ. Gets called...is behind...again. Does his third crap of the day. Sucks out...again. Even Mike Sexton is calling him lucky now.
Next hand! Donkey decides to raise from the button with 86 offsuit. Gets called by Scott in the big blind (trapping), dominated yet again by A8. Great spot... OMFG a six on the flop! Have to bet this, right? You were the preflop raiser against one player and managed to hit a pair with your rags. Check check. Scott bets the turn like a true pro, putting the pressure on. Donkey makes a weak call hoping for a non-club 5. Eugh...8 on the river, and doesnt value raise coz he just pooped his pants for the 4th time over the 4 card straight on the board. Scott turns over the 8 expecting to be ahead and is visibly disgusted to see donkey's rags. Again, the look says it all.
YOU LUCKY FRIGGIN DONKEY!
Next hand it's limped around to Jon who is in the big blind with 54...and flops the straight. Bet, call. OK, now there's TWO flush draws on the board, time for a big bet right? Uhhh, no. Donkey is so blinded by his hand he thinks he is invinsible...he doesn't even bet the pot. Huge mistake. Scott makes the obvious call and catches the flush on the river. Does he slow play it like the donkey did? NO WAY. He's too good a player and pushes all in INSTANTLY, and gets one of the worst calls of the day from dufus with like the 15th nuts.
Jon Little: (smiles) "I got the straight!"
You lose...1.8 million. Again in the big pots donkey pays off.
Dufus blinds off another half a million hoping (praying!) someone else gets knocked out because he knows he can't do it himself. Raise with Q10...call. Still no continuation bet to see where you are with second pair (horrible). Gets lucky when the other guy also hits a pair and gets paid off and wins the small pot.
Donkey then basically coinflips for all his chips, wins, and it goes heads up.
Jon Little: "I figured it would come down to us." (obnoxious arrogant, just shut up)
Scott Clements: "There were times when I didn't." (classy response)
Jon Little: (dufus grin) "Me neither." (ummm, what?)
Scott Clements: (you're an idiot)
Cut to interview with Scott (reading between the lines here because Scott is too much of a gentleman to say out loud what he really feels).
Layla Kayleigh: "So what's your strategy heads up?"
Scott: "Not to lose to 3 outers with all the chips in preflop, I've heard Jon is renound for doing that at WPT events. I'm pretty confident going into heads up because this guy is terrible"
Layla Kayleigh: "What are his strengths and weaknesses compared to yours?"
Scott: "Well he's a better preflop player because he'll ship it in with anything hoping to get lucky. I'm certainly not calling off all my chips with A2. I'll outplay him post flop because I play real poker and am 100x better than this moron."
Remember, Scott said he wanted to play post flop (which Vince feels he needs to re-iterate because it's obviously true) because that's certainly where his advantage is. And boy did it show!
First hand dufus outdraws Scott woth 76 on an 886 board. Time to bet right? It's heads up, pairs are rare. NOPE! Actually dufus is playing so weak that Scott makes the continuation bet. Time to check-raise, right? NOPE! Vince called out the play, basically begging Jon to do something right today and both Mike and Vince are flabbergasted when he just smooth calls.
Vince: "Interesting..." (you moron)
OK, now a 5 on the turn. Second pair and an open-ended straight draw on a flush draw board. Have to bet now, right? NOPE! Scott knows better than to bet again. He's read this loser like a book. He's looking for a king or a 10 and value bet his ass off. Bingo, 10! Does Scott check the best hand? Like hell he does, BET! And Jon makes the awful call.
Vince: "It's a complete debacle. Played too passively." (you moron)
Mike goes on the rampage, you can tell he can't believe how dufus can get heads up in a WPT event, let alone going for his second. Next hand, K4...raise. Fine, but nothing's going to get folded with such a small raise. The rest of the hand was just a beauty to behold and a great example of how to outplay a fish. Scott has trip 5s, Jon hits a 4 on the turn and goes crazy. Great spot...! Jon bets, gets min-raised (I wonder what Scott has...), Jon goes all in, gets called.
YOU LOSE

FieryJustice: I won wpt player of the year

http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//article.php?story=20080423225753497#comments


Yes dude, we get it, you won a WPT title and just because no one won 2 titles, you got the Player of the Year award. We understand. You don't need to beat it into the ground. We also saw how lucky you were, but I've already made my views on that crystal clear. But if you think you are anywhere NEAR the class of player as Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu or Chris Ferguson, you need a serious brain check. You're not even on the level of the second string players like Gavin Smith or Chad Brown...or the third string players like Shannon Elizabeth or Orel Hershiser (lol).

When it comes down to it, you'll be remembered as "that donk" who got lucky for a year and then threw away millions by getting himself fired from FullTilt.

So what next for chumpie? He got the WPT POTY...now...$1/$2 6-max ?!?!?!?! OMG! Well at least it will take more time to blow threw $1m that way, you know, have some fun...string it out. Personally, I can't wait for mr crybaby badbeat to play Omaha, as it's a drawing game and he'll get so frustrated at people "drawing out on him". Yum Yum.

PS. A reliable source tells me that Jon has been commenting in HIS OWN BLOG under the name RRBL. This is apparently to kick off some positive comments about him from other people to boost his (understandably) low self-esteem. How sad can you get?

j000hnnyd: Finally a good sunday

http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//article.php?story=20080421163223453

Congrats to j000hnyd! After investing $25k in qualifying tournaments, he finally got his $10k WSOP ME seat. I'll be paying close attention to the Day1 bustout board to see if you lasted 2 or 4 hours.

Some interesting folds with JJ? Did it go raise, re-raise, re-re-raise all in and then it came round to you and you had a "tough decision" with JJ? Or was it a fold on the AKx flop? Donkey. It's bigjoe that's telling you to never lay down jacks, right?

So he's been falling behind with his rakeback goal. From what I've heard j000hnyd has a pretty good rakeback deal if he puts in the high volume. And he needs to because this barely puts him into profit. You still haven't told us what earning the minimum wage feels like! No wonder you never go out (no friends, no money, gotta feel sorry for the kid really).

Ahh, but what's this? Moron wants to travel? So what exotic places does he have in mind...seeing as bigjoe went to South East Asia and Monte Carlo and Sapcegravy apparently went to Mexico. What about backpacking in Australia, or take an African safari adventure, or maybe visit the temple at Machu Picchu....

Where does this wordly character want to go?

CALIFORNIA!!!

WTF man!!!! Is it because you've never got around to obtaining a passport? You DO realise the world doesn't end outside of Los Angeles and New York? California.....

The "congrats" comment from thenoodleman is just priceless. In one word you can read this into it. "Congrats you lucky fooka, I want to win something once every four months as well! It's not fair, why am I the worst player on SNGIcons? That takes some doing right? I hate money..."

PS. This was just too hilarious not to mention. Bigjoe jumps way out of his comfort zone (which shows) and starts writing some political diatribe. Hey loser, try understanding what people are saying before you comment because it makes you look more of an idiot than you already are. Some of the comments on there (which will no doubt be deleted) are saved below for posterity:

FieryJustice: crappy annoying day + Im going to be on WPT on gsn tonight at 9 pm

http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//article.php?story=20080420211344999
http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//article.php?story=20080421121451776


So since I haven't posted for a while I thought I'd do a 2-for1 on our favorite donkey - Jon Little. Now I heard stories that he is "one of the top 10 tourney players in the world". What bullshit!!!!!!! He complains about being 3 outered, which is a joke seeing as this is the way he got his bankroll. If it wasn't for 3 outers this dude would be totally busted and working at McDonalds. Seriously. He is the LAST player in the world who should be crying about bad beats. You all saw it, let's take you back to the Mirage. His opponent was INSTA-CALLING with weak aces in the end 100% sure he had this idiot crushed...and was right. The look he gave Jon at the end was priceless, it said everything. He had too much class to say it but I will:

YOU ARE A HOPELESS LUCKY DONKEY WHO SHOULDN'T EVEN BE RAILING PHIL IVEY LET ALONE PLAYING HIM

Ahhhh, I feel better now.

I will be happy to watch this donkey play again tonight, although I heard from the grapevine that he got lucky again. Let's see. Donkey plays "SNG-style poker" at the final table, which means he pushes a lot and is scared to play real poker and seeing flops. And he has the cahoonas to tell everyone to watch him play on the NBC heads up! The tourney that cost this idiot millions because he let z32fanatic and Spacegravy play under his Full Tilt Pro account and he got found out (they played hardly any games under their own accounts during that time - how dumb can you get???). There were already suspicions in February that donkey wasn't playing 4000 games a month, but instead of laying low he let these dude UP THEIR VOLUME WHILE HE WAS OBVIOUSLY PLAYING ON TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to see the game where Jesus Ferguson busted his sad ass and gave all the high-fives because he knew donkey was abusing his Full Tilt privileges. And donkey calls out the classy Jesus for celebrating! News flash buddy - if you were screwing me out of my living I'd be DAMN HAPPY to rail your loser ass!

OK, enough hate for one day. Keep the comments coming guys, and keep up the blogging.

PS. bigjoe2003 talking about politics is akin to a child giving marriage counseling...you know absolutely nothing and it shows (ok a little more hate on the end).

#1 Stalker: Quick update

To all my fans, don't worry!! I've been playing in a pretty important live tournament (which I am pwning). But enough about that, no one wants to hear about my poker successes.

I have had SO MANY responses asking where I am, and I have only not posted for 3 days! :-) Good to know I get missed when I'm not around. It was fun reading about how bigjoe2003 got schooled by ElkY and Co. I mean, come on man, who pushes the UTG raiser with JJ and expects to be ahead. And people PAY for this SNG strategy???

Anyway, I'll be back in anger in the next few days once I take down some serious $$$. In the meantime, it looks like my job is in good hands: http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//article.php?story=20080417043308385#comments

I'll leave you with a picture of the "Icons" playing a live SNG in their "mansion".

bigjoe2003: Stars of Poker Tomorrow

http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//article.php?story=20080414192327958

This guy's confidence is shot. You can just tell in his blog. He never expects to win again. At least he has admitted he got insanely lucky, which was the only way Joe was going to do anything against this line up. But I'm sorry, against the line-up you'll be facing next, you'll be the bigfish2003. No doubt ElkY will beat you up again. LOL@StarOfTomorrow.



- "Afterwards I went out for some late Italian food with thetight, DrFells, Jhub3000, and thetight's girlfriend and Jhub3000s girlfriend. The place had really good lasagna."

LOL, a triple date? Did you and DrFells have "fun"? Sounds like it:

- "Oh yea, I also beat down DrFells 2-0 in Battleship heads up poker"

Is that what they call it these days....

Spacegravy: Movin on up....

http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//article.php?story=2008041418104839



Wow, the kid is taking some REAL shots now at some REAL poker. But it looks like he's being taken out of his comfort zone. Especially the second hand. Anyone who is anyone who has played SNGs gets sucked out on for all their chips pretty regularly. The $1ks are no different. Spacegravy himself must have seen this happen to him a million times. But because he's playing out of his comfort zone, it stings him a whole lot more.

If you want to be a real poker player, kid, you're going to have to move out of the fishy levels of 225s and lower. I remember the first time I played $25/$50 cash with the likes of Negreanu and Raymer, I just knew I was meant to be there, and losing didn't phase me because I knew I'd get it all in the end. And did. It's that confidence that separates the great players from merely the good ones.

#1 Stalker: Meet the "Icons" Part Deux

Original post: http://sngiconstalker.blogspot.com/2008/04/meet-icons.html

To help distinguish between who I am ripping to shreds, I will post the picture of the "Icon" in the blog entry.

Meet the "Icons" again:


z32fanatic: The leader of these nerds. The person who single-handedly screwed FieryJustice out of a goldmine of an opportunity at FullTilt by playing 765834765023 games under his account...whilst Fiery was playing the televised NBC Heads Up tournament (you can't make this shit up!).







bigjoe2003: Mr Ego himself. Thinks he is perfect at everything. Don't mention ElKy to this dude or he'll flip out, as ElKy won the race to become the first ever Supernove Elite on PokerStars. Has intermittent moments of humility, but it never ever lasts.






FieryJustice: The only Icon to make an impact on TV. He won the WPT Mirage event last year for over $1m by consistently misplaying hands and looking for situations to 3-outer his opponents. Never apologises for anything.










Spacegravy: The new Kid Poker. The only Icon who's game I have some respect for and the only one of these geeks who could have his name in the same sentence as "SNG Icon". Won an unbelieveable bet by making more than $25k in a month playing only low buy-in SNGs, but has since turned into an arrogant mo-fo. Wants to be like bigjoe2003.




Noodleman: Extremely low limit grinder. Has phases of 2 months+ when he never posts a blog entry, suggesting he is getting creamed in these games.












Bones: The joker of the pack. Copied and pasted some fairly amusing stories early on (and passed them off as his own), but has since run out of juice. Hints that he actually plays poker, although never plays SNGs (why is he an SNG Icon?). Hires hookers because he's too geeky to get a woman on his own.










Wickss79: The actual funny man of this group. Just look at his photo and you'll see. Won the first SNG Icons tournament for like $23 a few months ago, which is his greatest claim to fame. Funds his poker losses by being a taxi driver.










jizbiz: Arrogant piece of crap. Until he proves he can actually play the game all of his blogs should be avoided. Utter push-bot because he doesn't know what he's doing and cries when he loses (which is often).








Mack: Hardly ever posts which again suggests he is a losing player. Seems normal when he does, but nothing special. I tend to ignore this dude unless there are no other blogs to comment on.








FuggFrist: I have no idea why this fool was added. Should be removed immediately.















Mcshove: Perfect example of a guy who ONLY posts if he wins something. Has posted 3 blog entries since July last year. Nuff said.












J000hnnyd: The more this guy talks, the easier he is to rag on. Has no clue about SNG poker - aims to make 100% of his profits through rakeback. Many others have seen through this guy and has justifyably picked up a fair few haters. So much fun tearing this guy a new asshole on a regular basis.

thenoodleman: FTP WSOP ME sat hands

http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//article.php?story=20080414133301875

- Situation explained....check
- Read on player....check
- Misplayed both hands....check

- Second hand opponents cards revealed....ummm, no
- Reason for dumb betting amounts....ummm, no it's just retarded
- An explanation of how this "bad player" got from 30k to 72k chips....ummm, no it would ruin the main point of his post
- Brag post about qualifying for the WSOP ME....ummm, no I guess he didn't qualify
- Tournament bustout hand....ummm, no I guess he got wrecked continuously trying to "outplay" the big stacks because "they should always fold because they have likely qualified anyway with 25 players left and NINE getting a seat"

OK, almost half a good blog entry, which is a major improvement for noodleman.

j000hnnyd: Fair resent results

http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//article.php?story=20080414074303418

I feel embarrassed even copying his horrendous spelling mistake (hello? recent?). Shows the intelligence of this moron.

This retard measures his success not by how much money he's won, but by how many SNGs he's played. Ridiculous. Also notice there's no inline graphs or paragraphs dedicated to ROI. I'll let you figure out why.

Or you can just see below:


Firstly it took him around 600 games to get over the zero mark (kill me now). Secondly, for the sake or argument, he plays 10 SNGs per hour. That's 227 hours per month "working". A normal standard month is approx. 20 days (not including weekends). That's 11.5 hours a day. Which means he's making $15 per hour. LOL! The minimum wage in San Francisco is $10 per hour! And he's pulling in the equivalent of 12 hour shifts! (if you include breaks)

Someone please tell me why this idiot is an "SNG Icon" !!!

#1 Stalker: A blog fom the past (part 1)

http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//article.php?story=2007070115005961

Read this and you'll begin to realise why these people get so much hate. So classless. The comments on the blog speak for themself.

- My basic strategy was to not play any hands for the first few orbits so that my image at the table would be a real tight straight forward player, therefor allowing me to open up my game and hopefully trick people later.

"Trick people", hehe. This wasn't Halloween dude! There was no "later" for you. But this is the killer comment:

- The one consolation in all of this was the look of the other players at the table....all huge smiles, knowing that a strong player had gotten sucked out on by a very weak player.

LOL keep telling yourself that! They were laughing at YOU. Chump.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed my trip down memory lane. I'll be pulling out a few more pricless gems in the coming weeks.

bigjoe2003: Out in first level

http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//article.php?story=20080413070237506

I knew it. As I predicted, this loser would cry about a "bad beat" and tell us that everyone else sucked except him.

Firstly, he's complaining about the cost of luxuries in one of the most expensive aeas in the world. ORLY? Damn...who goes to Monte Carlo thinking they're going to get a cheap vacation. That is really dumb and shows his lack of cosmopolitanism (i.e. he's a hick yokel). This isn't the jungle, son!

The two hands that Joe analyses, he plays so bad it amazes me how he makes any money. So it's the first level, people are looking to get into the pot with a range of hands and hitting the flops quite cheap. Joe abliges by raising ace-rag (oh wait it was SOOTED!! like that matters...) 2.5 the BB which is a tiny raise and smells of weakness. So he gets the obvious 3-4 calls and hits nothing. With 5 players in the flop, you think SOMEONE hit a king or queen? So he made a retarded raise (you will never take down the pot in this spot with so many people in), instead of the slightly less fishy call or super standard fold. Guess what...his raise (obv) gets called. He makes all these comments trying to justify his play and how people "should never call with a king in this spot", and even puts the guy on J10! He bets AGAIN!!!! Ok, if someone calls a re-raise on the flop, they are not going to fold to a bet on the turn when a 5 comes...mistake number 3. At least he didn't decide to continue the facade. Very few players can fire 3 bluff barrells, and certainly not weak Joe. The SB guy was only behind for the initial 100 chips and was never behind in the hand afterwards...how was that unlucky Joe? You think you have the divine right never to be called down when you're bluffing? Sounds like this kid had you totally scoped out. Rope-a-dope, baby.

The second hand proves to me that Joe was being targetted. Folks, when you spot a fish at your table, you can get into the pot with a wide range of hands when they raise because the implied odds when you DO hit a monster justifies the initial investment. Deep stack MTT fish like bigjoe will grossly overvalue their hand, raise small preflop, and you'll be able to mop them up like krill. To cut a long story short, my read on Joe's opponent is: this particular guy seems to CALL DOWN with top pair or a draw (remember Joe put him on J10 in the previous hand?), so he doesn't have a 5 or an overpair and he doesn't have 23 or 67 when he raises. Now he's raising...alarm bells should be ringing for most good players. You simply CANNOT call down someone like this even with aces. HE HAS A FOUR JUST ABOUT EVERY TIME!!! Why does Joe insist on thinking people are trying to bluff him? This is such an obvious fold on the flop to me I'm embarrassed to even have to say it. So Joe spews another 10k chips being a calling station.



I can imagine this is what bigjoe looks like right at this moment. HOW DARE THEY OUTPLAY HIM!!! How can anyone play this bad and expect to win anything? This is the big difference between SNGs and MTTs. In SNGs when you make a mistake, your mistake limits you only to the buy-in and you can load up another, or 20, and carry on. In MTTs mistakes like these cost you a LOT, especially in the big buy-in events. If you ever get to watch the great poker players in action early in a tourney, they are making the big laydowns quite often, and usually they are right. One pair is never enough to go broke on. Joe (as well as all the "Icons") is a total pushbot. They wait until the blinds get high enough in SNGs and just try to luck their way to victory by pushing all their chips in hoping not to get called or to get lucky in the 40/60 situations. MTTs by nature require infinitely more post flop skills, and this is why the "Icons" fail (unless you run like God, eh FJ?).
Joe, today you proved that AA always wins you a little pot or loses you a big one. It is a poker fact. Don't deny it.

Wow, I think this dude hates bigjoe more than I do! Keeping it here before it gets deleted. Whoever posted this, please leave a comment here, because this was a classic.

Joe, you're upbringing in a trailer park is readily apparent when you post junk like this. Obviously you're lack of tact, class, decency or any sense of intelligence shows. You come to Monte Carlo, the cradle of Europe's upper crust and expect your second rate play to cut mustard? Are you serious? You took your typically overconfident attitude into this tourney and as was expected donkeyed out in quick succession. You were LUCKY enough to win an Aston Martin and you think that this somehow makes you a top player. Not so. You have no cred amongst those of us who really play. Now you have a blog, a car that's worth more than the accumulation of all your other assets and the illusion of poker grandeur. You're a loser. Go have a 40 dollar hamburger and simmer down. I'll have a martini and a laugh at your expense.....

#1 Stalker: theereelmcoy

http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//comment.php?mode=display&format=threaded&order=ASC&pid=4376


I am officially nominating the candidacy of "theereelmccoy" to be the newest blogger on sngicons.com. Please lose the dead wood that is FuggFrist, Mcshove, Mack and jizbiz. The site needs some fresh blood, and this guy (although currently a low limit player) I think has the right stuff to make it to the top. He can be the next spacegravy. So please people use your power and request, no demand, that change happens! And to the "Icons" who are reading this - you'd be retarded to let this guy slip through your fingers...which means you probably will.

thenoodleman: OOTM in the madness freeroll

http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//article.php?story=20080412152805955
So thenoodleman doesn't like it when he has better players on his table? And I mean MUCH BETTER players. Open shoving A9 for over 12 big blinds is ridiculous to be honest. The maniacs will call with a wide range of hands which you are either flipping against, or more like are behind to. This is your SNG strategy that you teach to people? Ugh....

FieryJustice: finally an itm

http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//article.php?story=20080412114538499

yay...a semi-decent blog entry with some hands (albeit of the "I got cold decked kind", but we're getting there).

bigjoe2003: Arrived

Baller has had 6 flights in his life outside the US and now thinks he's an "international traveler"...LOL. What a jerk. Can't wait to hear about the "bad beat that takes him down". And how "everyone else in the tourney sucked except him".

Spacegravy: On a nice start for the month

http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//article.php?story=20080411220004817

Ugh...are we going to see a graph every time this dude posts? I'm starting to think spacegravy doesn't believe his own results and has to continuously post them in order to convince himself. I promise you man, people will turn against you for doing this - especially when there are a lack of downward sloping graphs in tough times.

Spacegravy vids coming? When have we heard that before?

Two interesting hands posted, but please please post your thoughts as well!

And stevem1267 - I don't think Grayson is gay (even though his name is), so please stop sucking him off. You're just a retarded poster from 2+2 who everyone hates. Thanks.

Wickss79: Tough week

http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//article.php?story=20080411105413833

When I first read the title to Wickss' latest blog entry, the first thing that sprung to mind was "they must've sold out of cheez-whiz in Wichita". That would be enough to drive any red neck insane. Then I see two graphs and realise thenoodleman's been at it again. Ever since the tech guys showed him how to put a picture inline on the page (pre-school knowledge, btw) he's been running around showing off his new skills. Kinda like when bigjoe taught him the continuation bet.

Anyway, I digress...

It looks like everyone's favorite cabby has had an interesting few days. Firstly his luck switch has been turned off and he runs normal (think ski slope), which just emphasises how bad he is. Losing $2300 when playing the $6 games is tough to do man, I would have said impossible for anyone to be that bad. But apparently the "Icons" like to do the impossible. That's like not cashing for 400 games in a row! I can guess what happened next - he was steaming like mad and upped his stake. He threw his grits fund into his roll, delayed paying the rent on the trailer, and robbed some homeless man to scratch together enough money for one more shot at the big time (big time = $27 sngs lol). God smiled on him and he won 100% of his 50/50s and 80% of his 20/80s and look at the result!

More cheez-whiz than ever!

FieryJustice: two more rough days

http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//article.php?story=20080410230752908

Siiiigh - it's tough being a great player and getting so unlucky...

Just remember the old days when you were such a terrible player and won every hand? Ahhh how the young forget. Gotta love the kid - he goes out of his way to detail all the bad beats he took, but never mentioning that this was exactly how he played to get his bankroll in the first place! Go back to 3-tabling the 1/2 NL games you goofball.

thenoodleman: a couple hands

http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//article.php?story=2008040923370541

I'm going to do something a bit out of character. I'm not going to shit on thenoodleman today. He has posted some interesting hands, with some situational thinking and reads. And importantly, he doesn't win all of them.

So congrats Aaron, you listened to me, and here is the result.

bigjoe2003: Monte Carlo soon

http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//article.php?story=20080409165159608

"I just got an email from pokerstars saying I will be playing on day 1b which is sunday"

- I'm playing on Sunday, that's the day after Saturday (I think), on day 1b, which is after day 1a (I think).

"I will be the only one of us going to Monte Carlo"

- I lucksacked into a seat on my 15th attempt by qualifying online, the numerous 3 outers helped. Jon wants to keep his head low these days (obviously), and no one else can afford to buy in directly. Although I have just spent the last 3 weeks in the jungle trying to cross-breed my DNA with other monkeys, I feel confident of taking down the toughest field of the year.

"so when I'm not playing I will probably play online"

- When I bust out early on day 1b I'll try to win my buy-in back.

"Hopefully I can get in around 1000 games during the 6 days that I'm there."

- I can only 2-table on my crappy laptop, with any luck I'll break even, but at least I can say I played 1000 games.

z32fanatic: 1000 games this month

thenoodleman: haters

http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//article.php?story=20080408080027231

Well I certainly have hit a nerve here! Mwhahahahaha...more to follow....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Those who can do, those who can't, teach.

- Who is more the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him?

OK dude, enough with the crap sayings. Well somehow I've made noodleman post more blog entries over the last 2 days than the previous 2 months. Hit a sore nerve? I'll say. It also guarantees he'll be sitting at home, surrounded by all his shit new gadgets that he doesn't know how to use, waiting for my response. So I made him wait a few hours. I am cruel.

So why is mr noodleman so bent out of shape? Does he really care what I have to say? Well it seems that way due to his throw-rattle-from-pram rant - but that's not it. Is it because it encourages "bad press" for the website he is a member of? Unlikely - all you have to do is go to your favorite poker forum for that. Is it because they can no longer control what I say? BINGO! They can no longer delete any of my posts. They can no longer ban my IP address. They cannot control the comments on this blog.

FREE SPEECH DUDE...ISN'T IT WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!

And from the feedback both on this site and in person, it was a long time coming (note the plural "haterS" in the title). I am not censoring this blog. NOT ONE BIT. In fact the more douchebag comments the better! I hate to compliment any "icon", even at the expense of another, but noodleman you seriously need to look at spacegravy's reaction to my blog and try to better yourself rather than throw a hissy fit.

- I've got to admit, some of the stuff is pretty funny... I have no problem with someone criticizing what I have to say -spacegravy

Oh, and a reply to the moron who thinks I have linked to my own personal blog. LOL This IS my blog you tool. Are you accusing me of being ZeeJustin? Or Curtains? Wow you are very retarded. Maybe these are a list of pretty cool blogs which deserve more attention and have entertained me for some time?

thenoodleman: Day off

http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//article.php?story=20080407232715244

Haha, you gotta love thenoodleman. The last post I absolutely wrecked him for being utterly techno-useless. After reading my pwnage he now feels the need to go into minute detail about all the tech gadgets he's bought. I was literally reading this thinking WTF! He certainly took my last blog entry about him to heart.

I'm trying to imagine what grinding out an addition $50 a month must feel like. I mean, I wouldn't even wipe my ass on $50, and these so-called "Icons" put in the extra time and go out of their way for this minute chump change. I am actually starting to feel sorry for them.

He talks about his "42-inch plasma" like it's something new or something to shout about. Most people were buying these 5 years ago. I have upgraded mine to an 84-inch earlier this year (yes, size matters).

Sorry about the lack of content here, but even Picasso needed a canvas. I was just so bored with this post I was falling asleeeeee......zzzzzzzzzzzz.

FieryJustice: busto in 28th...again

http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//article.php?story=20080407095053258

Sigh...Jonathan. Sometimes I almost feel like you understand the game, and then you do everything possible to change my mind. Post some hands you idiot! "...getting up to 14000 after the first 2 levels after starting with 4000 chips" - how? Bluffing? Value betting? Surely top pair wasn't good every time? Top pair with aces, kings, tens? What were the other people at your table like? I could go on. He makes no attempt to make his blog...what's the word...interesting. To be honest, the only reason I waste my time reading this is to see the bust out hand he cries about. If he got bad beat, he'll post the hand. If he donks it off, he doesn't post the hand. And what was this re-pushing a big raiser with just AQ...total fish move.

And lol@opposition reading your blog. I think they have much better things to do like winning money than they do trying to figure out any of your "new moves" (new moves - hilarious!). And anyway, it seems as though they've got you figured out pretty well. You need to bad beat your way to glory - we all saw it.

Spacegravy: +150k on sharkscope

http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//article.php?story=20080407001328557

....won....money....doing.....well....best...poker...player....ever.....blah.....blahh.....blug.....

Oh wait, what's this? The "Icons" have found my little corner of the internet. Kudos to spacegravy for finding humor in my posts - this is obviously a dual intention of mine. But I do have to set a few things straight:

- I don't make 5 posts a day. I make 1 post for every post on the website
- I could say "who spends all their day continuously 24 tabling SNGs" - probably the same answer for us both: it's fun
- Would you rather I continue making direct comments on your website, or put all my comments here?
- I am increasing the profile of the players and the website by giving it my attention (yes, I have an ego too)
- Who says I have never met you... (queue spooky music)

Actually, I don't have too much of a problem with spacegravy. He makes far too many "I am great" and "look how much money I have made" posts which will wear on people after a while, but he'll grow out of it as he matures. He should avoid modeling himself on morons like bigjoe and z32fanatic...that is definitely +EV.

z32fanatic: 229 more games the last two days

http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//article.php?story=20080406191758672


Ahhhh, just for a change we have some kind of brag post. After his long breakeven streak of about 10,000 games (kill me now) z32fanatic finally has something to shout about. Sharkscope is actually doing him a favor because they round up to the nearest dollar, which in this case is $1. He has won $10 per game over 2 days. That's good for a couple extra McDonald's Happy Meals for the Icon's housemates. Mommy will be proud.

Not only does this tool start his first sentence saying "look, look, me won money today, aren't I good!!?!?!" - which makes me want to quit reading right there - but he also feels the need to create a whole separate paragraph to highlight his "success". Well two can play that game.

YOU'RE A MORON

Now for the second part of this extremely exciting blog entry. Mmmmhmmm, berating "fish". As I have mentioned before, the "Icons" hate to be outplayed and they are far too aggressive in bubble situations. This is a great example of both. The dude is pushing TWO-FOUR OFFSUIT from the CUT-OFF. What, he expects everyone just to fold to him, like every hand? Is he freakin' serious?!?!?! So the guy makes the obvious call with AQ on the button knowing full well z32fanatic is full of crap. And guess what? He won the hand? How DARE he win as a 70/30 favorite! And then z32 goes off on some ramble about you should never call without AA, KK, QQ. Ok buddy - you're not fooling anyone. This is just extremely BAD advice, and a good reason why people should never subscribe to this site. I can really see z32fanatic folding AQ in that spot...not. Anyone thinks he folds this if the hands were reversed? pffftt




thenoodleman: SNG Madness

http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//article.php?story=20080406163121434

Wow, a noodleman blog entry. I knew as soon as I saw this entry it was going to be some kind of brag post. The fact that the guys hasn't posted since February means he's been getting absolutely trashed in these games so finally he has something to shout about, to raise his confidence. Actually, the funniest thing about this is noodleman's obvious lack of knowledge of computers and technology. FTP, with all it's extra graphics and bells and whistles is a HUGE drain on PC resources. Times that by 16 tables, and a lobby, and for some reason he has AIM and web browsers up on a crappy 2.12GHz...slow down your machine? YA THINK!?! I almost chocked on my coffee when I read that!

- Noodleman: Hi, I'm having PC troubles.
- Circuit City helpdesk: What seems to be the problem, sir?
- Noodleman: I bought this PC three years ago, it was the top spec at the time, but now I'm having performance problems.
- Circuit City helpdesk: I see, sir. May I interest you in an upgrade? There are some nice quad core...
- Noodleman: ...sorry to interrupt you but I have 16 poker games running right now and I need help quickly.
- Circuit City helpdesk: Ah yes, sir. Let me guess, you're playing FullTilt poker?
- Noodleman: Yes, how did you guess?
- Circuit City helpdesk: Because it's a well known fact that FTP eats up all PC resources, I don't even know why people open up so many of these screens! I bet you have AIM and web browsers and porn open too.
- Noodleman: Well, yeah...(cough) anyway thanks for your help.
- Circuit City helpdesk: Anytime sir. Were you interested in an upgrade?
- Noodleman: How much?
- Circuit City helpdesk: You're talking over 2 thousand dollars...
- Noodleman: ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDIN' ME!!! I DON'T HAVE THAT KINDA MONEY! I'M A LOW LIMIT SNG GRINDER WHO BARELY BREAKS EVEN THROUGH BONUSES AND A HIGH RAKEBACK DEAL! WHERE DO YOU THINK I CAN GET TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS FROM??
- Circuit City helpdesk: Sorry for the bad beat sir.
- Noodleman: (click)

z32fanatic: 500 games so far this month

http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//article.php?story=20080405123800617

The ego of this idiot is ridiculous. "This month got off to a bad start as I was only up a few hundred or so". News flash dude, would you rather be DOWN a few hundred? That's what I'd classify as a "bad start". For someone who plays breakeven poker I'd say that was a damn GOOD start! I'd like to give a shout out to the guy who commented on z32fanatic's previous post, and this is a classic:

- you won like after $1100 after 9000 games, u could probably make more collecting cans

LOL. It's even funnier because it's true. z32fanatic definitely overrates his own game. Just look at Sharkscope it's all there. He even admits that Sharkscope has him up more than he really is.

I have commented a few times that all these idiot grinders do is play (with themselves) online all day and don't have a life. This is true. But it's hilarious that Chip feels the need to state that in fact he goes out a lot at night. WRONG! You don't fool us moron. You wish you could actually join the human race and do normal things like go out, drink, pick up women, etc. In your dreams bozo. You're bluffing with 72o on that one I'm afraid. You'll no doubt be playing 6 games on one screen whilst jacking off to porn on the other. Have a nice life.

As an aside, this comment on Wickss' blog made me laugh:

- why do you have a blog????????????

LOL...love it! No doubt it will be deleted because the "Icons" hate criticism, so I'm glad I caught this one early enough to share with you all here.

FieryJustice: bubbled again

http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//article.php?story=20080404110626961

Aha! Great! I get to kick this shit off with the guy everyone (including me) loves to hate. Mr FieryJustice himself.

Now I have known Jonathan for at least 4 (maybe 5) years. We both "grew up" on the PartyPoker scene and shared some HH from time to time and I would NOT consider him a better player than me. Luckier - yes. Gamblier (is that a word?) - yes. Better at poker - no way. Firstly dude, PLEASE DON'T START YOUR BLOG WITH "SIIIIIGHHHH" or "LALALALA" - you sound very gay. OK, I got that out my system. OK, so what's he complaining about now? Bubbling? Not surprising. Fiery is one of those people who believes in trying to dominate the bubble because he thinks everyone will not want to play and fold to him, like 100% of the time. News flash buddy - the kiddy game is down the road! (sorry Mike) Short stacks need to protect their chips on the bubble. Simple concept, but these so-called "icons" have a lot of trouble with it. Their egos get in the way which is extremely -EV. I'll make some pussy folds to win money if I'm the shortstack - I'm looking for someone to bust out before me rather than "playing for first", which is noble but remote in this situation.

What do you think of that Mr Ex-FullTilt Pro!?!

I personally love it when Fiery starts to cry about his luck. Dude - if you hate luck so much then you should give back your WPT title and the million dollars! Sorry what - you don't hate luck? That's what I thought. And grow some balls and let people comment on your blog.

#1 Stalker: Meet the "Icons"

For those new to their website, here is a brief introduction to the SNG Icons:
http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs/

z32fanatic: The leader of these nerds. The person who single-handedly screwed FieryJustice out of a goldmine of an opportunity at FullTilt by playing 765834765023 games under his account...whilst Fiery was playing the televised NBC Heads Up tournament (you can't make this shit up!).

bigjoe2003: Mr Ego himself. Thinks he is perfect at everything. Don't mention ElKy to this dude or he'll flip out, as ElKy won the race to become the first ever Supernove Elite on PokerStars. Has intermittent moments of humility, but it never ever lasts.

FieryJustice: The only Icon to make an impact on TV. He won the WPT Mirage event last year for over $1m by consistently misplaying hands and looking for situations to 3-outer his opponents. Never apologises for anything.

Spacegravy: The new Kid Poker. The only Icon who's game I have some respect for and the only one of these geeks who could have his name in the same sentence as "SNG Icon". Won an unbelieveable bet by making more than $25k in a month playing only low buy-in SNGs, but has since turned into an arrogant mo-fo. Wants to be like bigjoe2003.

Noodleman: Extremely low limit grinder. Has phases of 2 months+ when he never posts a blog entry, suggesting he is getting creamed in these games.

Bones: The joker of the pack. Copied and pasted some fairly amusing stories early on (and passed them off as his own), but has since run out of juice. Hints that he actually plays poker, although never plays SNGs (why is he an SNG Icon?). Hires hookers because he's too geeky to get a woman on his own.

Wickss79: The actual funny man of this group. Just look at his photo and you'll see. Won the first SNG Icons tournament for like $23 a few months ago, which is his greatest claim to fame. Funds his poker losses by being a taxi driver.

jizbiz: Arrogant piece of crap. Until he proves he can actually play the game all of his blogs should be avoided. Utter push-bot because he doesn't know what he's doing and cries when he loses (which is often).

Mack: Hardly ever posts which again suggests he is a losing player. Seems normal when he does, but nothing special. I tend to ignore this dude unless there are no other blogs to comment on.

FuggFrist: I have no idea why this fool was added. Should be removed immediately.

Mcshove: Perfect example of a guy who ONLY posts if he wins something. Has posted 3 blog entries since July last year. Nuff said.

J000hnnyd: The more this guy talks, the easier he is to rag on. Has no clue about SNG poker - aims to make 100% of his profits through rakeback. Many others have seen through this guy and has justifyably picked up a fair few haters. So much fun tearing this guy a new asshole on a regular basis.

#1 Stalker: Welcome to the TRUTH

http://www.sngicons.com/geeklog/blogs//article.php?story=20070910125940243

This blog is intended for people to OPENLY comment on the so-called "SNG Icons".

The bloggers on the SNGIcons website have labelled me their "Number One Stalker". This is an appreciation of how many posts of mine they have to delete on a regular basis. They ban my IP address but I just keep coming back! I have noticed a trend that many many people, with valid observations or criticisms, will very likely have their comment deleted so only the "you are God" comments remain. I DEMAND FREE SPEECH! The straw that broke the camel's back is that now Jonathan "FieryJustice" Little does not even allow comments to be posted on his blog! To cut a long story short, he got greedy and screwed over FullTilt, for which they released him, and does not want to face up to the fact that he pissed away a fortune.

Welcome to my blog and let the flaming begin!
