The Greatest Poker Game Part IX Something to prove to myself | |||
| |||
    | |||
[Just 2 parts to go in the Valentine's Day 2006 struggle between Ted Forrest and Andy Beal, including this one.I'll probably post the portion of the BLUFF article that covered this game, so you can compare, if you want, my notes of the day with the finished product.I have returned from Las Vegas where I have several more installments of Prisoner of the Bellagio, including another Ted Forrest car story and a story about Dan Harrington's socks. Unless my tax issues create some huge, immediate problem - they definitely create a huge problem, though likely not an "immediate" one - I should get those written and posted over the next several days.] 'SOMETHING TO PROVE ' TO MYSELF' PAGE 683 Back at 6:06 PM Andy -$3.4M, maybe $3.3M HAND 1 ' Andy ' raise, bet flop, fold Andy $200k HAND 2 ' Ted ' raise, Andy x3, call 7c-3c-Td Andy bet, Ted fold Andy $300k They're playing FAST.
