Let me introduce myself - I’m Daniel Thorn. I will be honest - I’ve never won at the WSOP. But for several years I’ve been making a living just playing poker online. When I deposit money I use only my AmEx Platinum. I think it tells volumes.
So, in this section I described the hands that were really played. I think it can be better than tons of poker literature. I tried to make it not only educational, but also entertaining. Read, enjoy and learn from my mistakes.
Everyone has his hero, even such smart guys as me. Some people like George Washington. Others – Gary Cooper. And I just adore Doyle. Good old Doyle with his good old T2. So I became pretty inflamed when being on the Big Blind position I received
Tc 2c
Wow. Almost like Mr. Brunson in the 1976 WSOP main event. Actually he also had T2 suited, but that were spades then. One person called. I called the Big Blind (I just had no strength to fold this hand) and the guy next to me checked. So, the flop was
3c 7d 7c
Hmm... There is a flush draw. Pretty poor flush, I must admit, but the highest card belongs to me. So, I check. One of my two opponents folds and the second makes a bet. I can see the Turn rather cheaply and by the way I do believe in omens. I call. And what do I see?
3c 7d 7c Qc
Hey, who says this is a chance coincidence? By the way Doyle won with full house so my hand is even better than his! But I don’t want to show that I’ve made the hand. I successfully check-raise the guy. He calls my raise. May be he has a better flush? No, all these coincidences can’t be in vain. I bet and see
3c 7d 7c Qc Ts
on the River. Doyle’s Ts. This is a sign. I already know that I’m a winner. There just can’t be any other variants. I bet, my opponent raises (what a naive guy!), I place one more bet and see his…
Th 3d
at the showdown. That’s not Doyle Brunson, my dear. That’s just a trash hand. I grin and take the lovely pot.
