The Take 200k from Bill Ivey in 100 Days Challenge

The Aftermath...

2006-09-05T01:16:00.000-07:00

Well folks, it appears I haven't reached the end of the rainbow sadly, but this is the end of the road.

Bill's latest blog post:

"I played about 6k hands today, and it was pretty bad. I did very well on party poker, but did terrible on stars. I don't know what it is, its just lately I can't put up good numbers and I am playing like an idiot. The last thing I did tonight was played elky at 10/20 for 3 hands where I lost one 2k pot and just left. That was stupid....

Its quite a bummer, I am pretty sure I cannot make my goal, and I really have no motivation to keep this goal going any longer. Also considering playing stricly on party for a while so I can rebuild my roll and send some funds from party to stars."

I really don't want to let anyone down here but how am I supposed to take 200k from someone who doesn't even have that much? I'm really sorry to all the fans. I really thought I could make this goal happen but it looks like I greatly overestimated his bankroll. I was thinking of moving down limits with Bill solely to accomplish this goal, but it appears I'm too late :[

I kinda sensed this was coming when Bill wouldn't play me heads-up for a week straight. It was proven to me when Bill was caught sitting with 789$ at a 10/20 table and not reloading yesterday. He hadn't reloaded for over 10 minutes and had not even 10k spread across the tables. This means only one thing. Bill is broke.

Rekrul: why u sitting short stacked
Bill Ivey: yo rekrul, can you please stop IMing me?
Bill Ivey: thx
Rekrul: i thought we were friends
Bill Ivey: I thought you had a problem with me?
Rekrul: no i really dont
Rekrul: i have a problem with blogging
Rekrul: but it doesn't cause me to hate anyone
Bill Ivey: oh but what about that blog you made totally to berate me?
Rekrul: i made it to berate you and all bloggers
Rekrul: it needs to stop
Bill Ivey: alright, gl

There we have it folks. Bill has agreed to stop blogging. I feel like I've done a great deed of charity to Bill by taking some of his money and making this blog. I truly believe my tough love opened his eyes. You're welcome Bill and I hope you've learned your lesson. Cya around Bill. I'll hit you up in Vegas and maybe one way you can repay me is by letting me crash at your pad in Tuscon and you can show me around Arizona with your crew.

Established contact with the beast...

Rekrul: Whats up
Bill Ivey: nothing what do you want?
Rekrul: up for some HU?
Bill Ivey: nah im running really bad
Rekrul: ok
Bill Ivey: saw your blog
Rekrul: you like it?
Bill Ivey: isn't it a contradiction?
Rekrul: the word would be hypocritical
Rekrul: and no, it's not
Bill Ivey: get out my face

To my surprise Bill seems to hold me in a low regard. Also, as you see...Bill is still running terribly bad and getting fucked over by the cards on every street. But boy oh boy once the luck turns back in his favor look out pokerstars, Bill will be thrashing 25/50 apart. But until then it looks like I won't be getting any action.

Also, Bill's latest blog post:

"I played pretty tight compared to how I have been playing lately. I am still running super bad. Here was my favorite hand of the day. I was actually happy to be up a little after today. I saw elky sitting by himself at 10/20 with $8k, and it was sooo tempting, but I just stuck to 5/10. So tomorrow I will play 5/10 again and hopefully have a better day."

"saw elky sitting by himself at 10/20 with $8k, and it was sooo tempting"

Lmao. Tempted by the prospect of check calling three streets with jack high against a superior player. Don't hold back Bill. I believe in you. GO GET EM'!!!

Well, thankfully Bill was in the green for his session today, however small it may have been...so I am getting a little bit of hope back. Here's my score vs. Bill so far:

Today:-$65.60
Total:$23,877.00
I Need:$176,123

Losing hope for my goal....

Here's Bill's latest blog post:

"Today started off great. I played the sunday million and the second chance and got 19th in the second chance. I was also playing elky HU and a couple shorthanded tables at 10/20, I was up about $10k before I took a break from playing. I cam back and played elky heads up some more and a couple shorthanded tables and ended up losing $21k in about 45 minutes. This just happened before I started playing. Its getting pretty grim. I am taking some horrendous beats. I lost a $11k pot to elky, like this. Also, elky floating EVERY flop, potting EVERY turn, and calling down with gutshots. I think he is on a huge heater, he is hitting everything. So after I lost that huge pot, things started to get worse, it felt like I was just in a dream, I was just spewing money. I don't know what the plans are now, this is going very very bad."

FUCKING HEATERS MAN. Wow, what a sick heater. How fucking lucky is elky to have a straight this hand, WOW what a heater what a SUCKOUT: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/66904 "Bill Ivey: calls $820"

HORRENDOUS MOTHER FUCKING BEAT BILL, I FEEL U MAN, SORRY ABOUT THIS ONE, GOD ELKY IS A SUCKOUT: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/66896 "Bill Ivey: Calls $420"

This hand seemed very rough in particular. Man Elky is just hitting EVERYTHING: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/66912 "Bill Ivey: calls $820"

Queen seven off-suit is a good hand: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/66913 "Bill Ivey: calls $1340 and is all-in"

Sick read Bill: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/66864

Well. It seems as if Bill was just spewing money to everyone today. I don't know what the plans are now, this is going very bad. I'm very frustrated and I don't know if I can accomplish my goal seeing Bill spew all his money to players far superior to him. God, this sucks. Elky might just take his 200k before I do. :(

Just finished a session with Bill.

I think I played pretty well. I seemed to be steam-rolling him and every time he did exactly as I had predicted and/or wanted him to. We played around 5000 hands against eachother. I won't list how much I earned, I'll let Bill post it on his site in red letters. Here's an excerpt of my stats from today's session.

Pots won at showdown: 299 of 300 (99%)

Here's one tough beat from the session, the one pot I lost at showdown.

Day 4: Aug 25th

Today was awful. I am running bad and making some bad reads. I started off good playing 10/20 shorthanded for a couple hours during the day. Some friends came over and I went out for a bit, then came back and played another session. I played Rekrul heads up on three tables and he took me for a couple buyins. He was running insanely good and I was running terrible. I decided just to cut my losses and stop playing. I am very frustrated, this is not a good start off to my new goal and I am running bad. I guess we will try this again tomorrow..."

"He was running insanely good and I was running terrible. "

Yeah Bill.

Yeah.

Why?

For some reason kids these days making money on the internet feel the need to blog their results. They say it is because it helps them stay focused or it's merely to track their results. Thats all a facade though...there is only one reason Lee Gaines would post his poker winnings on the internet along with his name, location, and pictures of himself. He is a young greedy little cunt who wants to give himself a way to brag to the world about his poker winnings without looking like a prick. Guess what prick, not only are you risking your personal safety and liability in case some fooker you stack gets angry...you aint fooling anybody.

You make your living in online poker taking peoples' money. You are not cool because of that. No one gives a fuck about your shit brick house in Tuscon. Your friends are losers.

Atleast have some decency and keep your pathetic life off the internet.

Blogging faggot.
