Black Deuces – Poker Blog

While watching Phil Hellmuth in this years’ WSOP, he reminded me of this movie he did with Norman Chad a few years ago, I think in 2007. In Heads-Up with Norman Chad, our favourite poker commentator, makes a bet with a poker pro.

In this episode he challenges Phil Hellmuth, a self-proclaimed frisbee expert (lol), to hit him with a frisbee in 10 throws. What makes this movie a classic are the t-shirts Norman is wearing. I can dodge frisbees baby.

Norman Chad is a hero. “Good for you.”

Just wanted to remind you all that ESPN will start covering the WSOP Main Event this tuesday, August 10. They will run it all the way up to Nov. 9, treating us all with a whopping 28 hours of footage. Sweet!

And just like every year, it’ll be presented by my favourite co-hosts Norman Chad and Lon McEachern.

I’m playing the Double Deuce 20+2$ buy-in tonight. I’ll keep you all updated on how it goes.

Update: played a nice hand in the first 30min. Cracked A’s with T’s. The guy just called my 3x raise pre-flop in the BB. Flop: T84, no suit. Villian shoves 3k stack on 300 pot. I snap call. Easy game.

Update: After just one hour I’m out. Stack of only 1,5K chips, after I lost an all-in with AK against AQ… I shove with J’s, someone wakes up with A’s behind me. Better luck next time I guess.

I must say, I really like the Double Deuce format. So, I’m definitely gonna play it again in the future. Hoping for a deep run.
