4th Street Poker Tour

Heeeeeee'z Nuts!

W/SP Game 3 Results

As Bookie stated it started with AK vs. KQ and then Silky pulled off the classic "move all in three times in a row and on the third time you actually have aces" play to perfection. From there Silky treated me, Richie and Eliot like the hair on his nuts to pick up his second 4SPT win.

Shock G. Because I want him to be sitting across from me so I can look into his eyes when I river my famous inside staight.    

Where/how did you learn to play poker:
In 2001 I had a horrible break up with my girlfriend of 4 years. While at rock bottom a couple of "friends" invited me to a poker game. "it only costs $50" they said. Thousands of dollars later I'm okay at Holdem, better at Omaha and can play a mean game of stud hi/low.    

Any other interesting stories or whatever else you want people to know:
I play a lot of tennis. When I get a new can a balls I like put my nose right up to the cap and slowly let out the sealed in freshness. I gives me a special feeling.....inside. Also, thank you to Jeff and Jen for putting together such a smooth, organized and fun game of poker.

The Case King

WS III Game 11 Results

From 3-way all-in, to a 3-outter on the turn, followed by a 1-outter on the river, to 4th Street getting 1 new winner. Last night's ending was exciting to say the least. In the almost 3 years we've been running the Tour I haven't seen a game end like this before.

Eastwood sitting 3rd in chips moved all-in preflop, behind him sitting second in chips was the Machine who quickly made the call. Jeff Not Jeff looks around and says "Man, wouldn't it be nice to look down at a K and a K?" he looked at his cards, lit up like a Christmas tree and moved all-in. The Machine then called off the remainder of his own chips. So now we have 3 man action, much to the delight of Shock G.

Eastwood - QT
Machine - AK
Jeff Not Jeff - KK

Important to note that the B.B.D. is dealing this hand. The flop comes down 5 5 7. Not the exciting part. The turn brings one of the three Aces remaining in the deck. Eastwood is drawing dead, Jeff Not Jeff is devastated and Machine is ready to scoop the chips. Silky will need the last King in the deck to take down his first 4SPT win. And if I'm telling this story then you know what happens next. The river brings...

The Case King.

Who's Got the Nuts?

When Jeff Not Jeff joined the Tour, I knew right away he was a nice guy and an OK poker player. However, what I didn't know until yesterday is that he is also a comedic genius. He is to David Brent what Richie Rich is to Phil Ivey.

In what can only be described as a "must see" video and a "must visit" website, Jeff Not Jeff or Deuce will from this point forward be known as "Silky Smooth Nuts" or more simply "Silky".

Do yourself a favor and go here after watching this video.
