Marco - Player Profile

Name: Marco Olguin
Nickname (how'd you get it): I don’t have a poker nickname but my friends do call me mush!
Age: 27
Location: El Segundo

Favorite hand to play:
Suited K7

Favorite pro player:
Like many of my cohorts who probably share the same ideology, Jennifer Tilly….for TWO reasons!!!!!

How did you learn about the 4SPT:
I learned through my boy Izzy who used to be Jeff’s coworker.

When did you join the 4SPT:
I don’t recall but sometime last season

Best thing about winning the 4SPT:
I can actually fill up my tank of gas and have enough left over for a Jumbo Jack with cheese. Plus people might get the impression that I know how to play.

Most exciting/best hand you've had on the 4SPT:
I don’t recall my opponents name but I had J10 and the flop came JJ7 turn is a J giving me quads and the river a Q. He had QK making a full house. I had checked down so he didn’t put me on such a strong hand. He went all in and of course I called.

4SPT player you don't want sitting next to you (why):
Most everyone scares me at the table but if I had to chose one it would be Jeff, I think he could smell my fear.

Where/how did you learn to play poker:
I have yet to learn, the little knowledge I hold comes from home games with friends.

Any other interesting stories or whatever else you want people to know:
although I’m not the first or last to share these sentiments I would like to thank Jeff and Jennifer for their hard work and all the players for making this a fun and enjoyable event.

In closing notes “To have one’s cake and eat it too”…..can someone explain this to me, why else would you want cake?

The "can't have your cake and eat it too" idiom never made sense to me. As someone that likes cake, I could never wrap my head around the idea. I have my cake and eat it all the time. Why, just the other day I was at a restaurant and ordered cake. Then I ate it.

Then someone explained it to me in the reverse. If you eat your cake, you no longer have it.

So here's my tip of the day for you, Marco. Get a cake. Take a slice and put it in the freezer. Then eat the rest.

that saying always bothered me too, I'll have my cake, eat it and then just get more cake.

I have only 2 uses for cake, and both of them just happen to involve Jennifer Tilly. Weird. What are the odds?
