Poker Challenge 2: Joe Cada $100K Tournament

November 20, 2009

A few weeks have gone by and im still hitting the freerolls hard. I play about one freeroll a day and finish in the top 20% on a regular basis. I have built a nice and steady bankroll on a few sites.

My most recent triumph was winning a seat to the recently crowned WSOP Champions victory tournament, Joe Cada, on Poker Stars.

The tournament was a 10c buy-in and faced about 9000 players. the top 250 players earn a seat to the big tournament. I played well, built a strong table image with some cracking hands and cruised through easily.

On 22 Novemer, i will be facing close to 30 000 players for a crack at the big $100 000 pot. The winner takes $8270 and it goes down to 5400th place with $40. So its a nice pot and loads to win. I’m gunning for the big one, so lets see how it goes.

Texas Hold’em Set-Up and Play Texas Hold’em Poker is a community card game with four betting rounds. Game Play One player acts as dealer. This position is called the button and it rotates clockwise after every hand. The two players to the left of the dealer are the small blind and the big blind, respectively. They are the only players who have money in the pot before the cards are dealt. Every player receives two cards face down. These are hole cards. The first betting round begins with the player sitting immediately to the left of the big blind, and continues clockwise. When the first betting round is completed, three community cards are flipped face up on the table. This is called the flop. The second round of betting begins with the first remaining player seated to the left of the button. The betting resumes, clockwise. When the second round of betting is finished, a fourth community card is flipped face up on the table. This is called the turn. The third round of betting commences with the first remaining player sitting to the left of the button. The betting moves clockwise, with the bets doubling on the turn. When the third round of betting is over, a fifth community card is flipped face up on the table. This is called the river. The fourth round of betting starts with the first remaining player seated to the left of the button. The betting continues to move clockwise. How to make a hand The players must combine their hole cards with the community cards to make the best possible 5-card poker hand. It is possible to use both hole cards, one hole card or no hole card (play the board), in an effort to make a hand.
