Jon Turner didn't win any money in the main event of the WSOP


he busted out last night in Day 2b

He was a LONG way from making the money

7/12/2007 2:02:39 PM

Well, it looked like they were paying out 500+ spots, and it looked like he was in the top 500... guess I was wrong.

7/12/2007 2:06:32 PM

It's 626 spots paid

he was in the top 500 of Day 2b, but you have to also combine the # of players taht were in Day 2a, which was a similar amount.

I believe Day 3 will start with close to 1000 players. The money bubble will burst most likely today, or perhaps tomorrow. Action really picked up late last evening. I've been losing a lot of sleep texting back and forth to friends I have in the tournament

7/12/2007 2:14:15 PM

459 players from Day 2b combined with 349 players from Day 2a = 808 players


The money will surely hit today, mostly likely ~dinnertime.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks

Jon "Pearljammer" Turner Eliminated
The hand that immediately followed Jon Turner making four of a kind and tripling up to 24,000, he was eliminated. Carl Olson, who had Turner well covered, moved all in preflop. Turner called and the players showed... Turner: K9 Olson: A4 The board helped neither player and Olson's ace-high was good. With 25 minutes remaining in Day 2b, Jon Turner headed to the rail.

He has two other hands listed, but its a pain to copy/paste because the site uses images for the cards.

poker story...

my 2nd night of ever playing texas hold 'em in my life, i was getting tired (it was ~3am) and i wanted to go home. i went all in without looking at my cards. everyone matched me because they thought i was crazy and they knew i would lose.... i ended up having 4 jacks. it was pretty sweet, none of the guys had ever seen anything like that before.

7/12/2007 4:52:53 PM

That's odd that none of them had ever seen it before b/c I think I've seen that story a few dozen times in this thread alone.

7/12/2007 4:59:52 PM

^^^^wow just tripled up with 4 of a kind and then call an all-in with k-9 offsuite???? Am i reading that correctly???

[Edited on July 12, 2007 at 5:22 PM. Reason : ???]

7/12/2007 5:22:07 PM

One time me and this other guy both got a royal flush but I won because mine was in spades. It was awesome, you totally had to be there.

7/12/2007 5:22:16 PM

^what were you playing for both of you to have royal flushes? not texas?

7/12/2007 5:30:10 PM

^^^ Yes, that is correct. He was short stacked and probably welcomed a coinflip.

^ No, we were playing texas holdem.

7/12/2007 5:39:36 PM

^ isn't a royal flush a straight flush ace high? were you playing with two decks?

7/12/2007 5:56:56 PM

yes, no

7/12/2007 6:05:24 PM

Ted Forrest OUT



10 players to go!

7/12/2007 7:01:52 PM

whats that site that shows how players have done in online tournaments?

7/12/2007 7:09:21 PM

I use this one: http://www.bluffmagazine.com/thepokerdb/index.asp

7/12/2007 7:40:12 PM

thepokerdb, thats it. thanks

7/12/2007 7:42:33 PM

Two guys I play with on occasion are still in the ME. They are playing hand-for-hand now ... waiting for the money bubble.
One is Wei Yan Chan, just know the other guy as Sam.


...on second though, maybe Wei Yan is out. Don't see him on the chip counts. Guess Sam is just trying to make the money; he's a short-stack.

turner's won half a million since last year just playing online. thats insane

7/12/2007 7:51:35 PM

Is that subtracting his buyins into every tourney, including the ones that he didn't cash in also? As I recall most sites don't keep a record of tournaments not cashed in. Either way, he has made a shitload.

7/12/2007 8:36:00 PM

no, it's only prize money won. It does not discount the entry fee for that tournament, or any other tournament or expense paid.



by the way, the bubble just burst at hte WSOP. 621 players remain

7/12/2007 9:00:04 PM

haven't been on here in a while. anyone here interested in playing live around raleigh shoot me a pm.

7/13/2007 3:30:12 AM

I got so frustrated trying to find a live game around Burlington that I haven't played in over a year

I hate not being near State anymore

poker buddy of mine cashed!

7/13/2007 11:55:19 AM

he cashed in an event last year too

7/13/2007 12:39:48 PM

yeah ...was like 17k i think. he cashed earlier in this series as well ...think it was 1500NLHE. got something like 5500?
samuel padgett, friend who wei yan went out there with, is still in with somewhere in the neighborhood of 450k in chips.

7/13/2007 12:53:55 PM

I love it when the bombs stack off with me.

7/13/2007 8:38:40 PM

Sweet, finally back to even after playing 2,000 hands. I'm 22/16 for anyone who cares.

7/13/2007 9:16:07 PM

last night entered bodog 15K guaranteed, 200 buy-in. about 90 entries and i took first for 5.4K. biggest win i've had by far.

and funny thing, the next time i try to log in after making my withdrawl my account is disabled. they claim someone had a similiar account. I don't know what to think.

Another thing about bodog, they take about a month to mail your check, which is utter crap. Sometimes i think they're just looking for excuses to hold on to your cash as long as they can without customer backlash.

would like yalls opinions on this hand. live game, 1-1-2 spread limit, 4 dollars to open the pot. i'm UTG with AJ clubs. Raise to 25 and get 2 callers, dealer and small blind. Flop is K club 7 club 3 red. small blind raises 40, i call, dealer goes all in and has me covered (an additional $250 from my stack). small blind calls with approx $200.

whats do you do?

I ended up calling and missing. I felt obligated to call because of small blinds call + 160 already in the pot.

7/14/2007 3:45:19 AM

fold preflop


cash out

save your money

7/14/2007 11:58:51 AM

Someone explain spread limit to me.

If it was a full table I would have folded it preflop as well or perhaps limped hoping to see a cheap flop.

spread limit allows the house to specify a maximum bet (200 dollars at this table, which also had a 200 max buy in). it essentially plays the same as NL at these stakes, unless the house specifys a much smaller max bet. there are finer points that are beyond me. i thought it was a legality in California that they play spread limit, but then i saw they had 10-20 NL.

thanks for the advice. it was late in the night and i hadn't seen a hand in at least an hour. my better judgement was behind me and I felt like gambling.

What did the other guy have, AK?

7/14/2007 2:08:11 PM

if you end up playing in colorado or deadwood, it's primarily spread limit and there are some adjustments that would be needed to be made.

a $2/5 $5-$50 spread limit or a $5/10 $10-$200 spread is what ive seen spread before

7/14/2007 2:12:07 PM

How is that not a cap game? I always thought spread limit was a limit game where you could bet between x and y dollars per street. Like the super sexy 1-5 spread limit stud game we played at the taj.

7/14/2007 2:47:52 PM

Not a cap since you can raise and multiple betting rounds....

7/14/2007 3:09:54 PM

so for 2/5 5-50, you can bet up to 50 preflop, then another 50 on all 3 streets?

7/14/2007 3:16:19 PM

you open for $50, i can raise to $100, so on and so forth

It's a pain to scroll this thread with a blackberry

fold or limp preflop, depending on yoru read on the table.


if the big blind is $2, don't raise to $25. The only people who are going to call you will have you beat, so you waste money risking $25 to win $28 dollars. You would have to do this 9 times and not get any callers to make this a profitable play before someone goes all in over the top of you and you are forced to fold b/c AJ is a shit hand. It's -EV.

So like I said before

cash out and save your money.

7/14/2007 4:04:18 PM

so do yall pay taxes on what you win? and if you do, do you do it immediately or just once a year with everything else

7/14/2007 4:11:46 PM

You should report it once a year when you do all your other taxes.

7/14/2007 4:28:12 PM

im a consistent loser so i dont pay anything. If I declared myself a pro poker player, which I am not, I guess I could post a loss and get some back....

7/14/2007 4:33:50 PM

i have heard different things from different people. Many don't claim any of their winnings(not just small winnings either +50k) and have yet to have a problem. Others claim everything they win.

7/14/2007 4:35:07 PM

i think if i won a couple hundred bucks or whatever i'd probably just keep it, but into the thousands seems dangerous
