Good2cu

Good2cu is a sick poker phenom

Andrew Good2cu Robl is a nosebleed stakes online poker player. Andrew is no stranger to the live scene and has some televised appearences including Poker After Dark. Good2cu has been one of the most successful online players these last couple of years, grinding a *VERY* substantial bankroll from the smallest stakes all the way to the Rail Heaven Table on Full Tilt Poker with blinds of 500/1000 ! Did you know that good2cu is famous for his prop bets ?

Good2cu’s Bellagio Bathroom Prop Bet

The following is really one of the craziest prop bets we have heard of in a long time. A player known as Jay bet Good2cu and player “traheho” that he could live in a Bellagio bathroom for thirty days ! The amount wagered is undisclosed but it is widely rumoured to be in lower six figure range. Jay gave then 2 to 1 odds on his bet.

Here were the conditions for the prop bet:

1. No computer.
2. 400 minutes of cell phone use for the 30 days.
3. A small DVD player will be allowed into the bathroom.
4. No one is allowed in the hotel room except for Room Service. A friend of Jays can drop off food and supplies but cannot talk to Jay.
5. Room service can deliver food no more than 4 times in a 24 hour period.
6. Jay can not use any drugs.
7. Curtains to the room are closed. He is allowed to open/close the door.

You may be wondering what Jay was thinking, whether he was out of his mind or just badly needed the money . No one knows for sure, but these high stakes poker players sure have unconventional ways to have fun. Robl actually had a webcam recording video 24 hour 7 to make sure he wouldn’t leave the premises of the bathroom. Here is a spashot of the webcam were it looked like he was going to leave…

So what happened ?

At first, Jay seemed OK and was generally optimistic. However, depression started to creep in. Staring at bathroom walls all day gets to you after a while. On top of this, Jay displayed a lack of discipline in his eating and sleeping patterns. He would eat a lot of junk food, Mc donalds, pizza and Arbies These unhealthy eating patterns were compounded by his constant isolation which led him to feel occasionaly depressed.

So Who won ?

We won’t tell you ! Well, we’ll just say Good2cu and his pal had to dish out a lot of money to Jay

Good2cu on Poker After Dark

Good2cu made a guest appearence on Poker After Dark. The episode was called “Nets vs Vets” and opposed a team of online pros to some seasoned veterans. This was to settle the debate of online players being inferior to live players.

The online player lineup was: Tom “Dwan” Durrr, Brian “Sbrugby” Townsend and Andrew Good2cu Robl.

The pro line up was: Doyle Brunson, Johny Chan and Huck Seed.

Unfortunately Good2cu lost this winner take all sit and go. He was put at a decision for all his chips facing Tom Dwan who check raised him on the flop with a set. The winner of the session was brian townsend. He faced Doyle Brunson heads up in an epic battle. This was a great episode and we highly recommend that you watch it.

We hope that you enjoyed this article on Andrew Good2cu Robl, commonly known as Good2cu from the people that know his most. We wish him the best in his poker career and we are hping for more televised appearences to come.

Go Good2cu ! Go !
Go Good2cu ! Go !

Ilari sahamies

Ilari sahamies

Who is Zigmund on Full Tilt Poker

Ilari sahamies is a professional Finish poker player mainly known for being a regular at the highest stakes PLO games at Full Tilt Poker . Ilari Sahamies has an extremely aggressive style that is very hard to play against.

It seems that Ilari, or Zigmund as he is known online, is always firing bets : preflop, on the turn and the river…over and over again. Surprisingly Ilari Sahamies seems to get away with it. Recently Zigmund has had outstanding successes playing the highest no-limit games available on Full Tilt Poker , at the Railheaven table. He ran a 200K stack up to 1.1 Million dollars in a few hours ! He was playing shorthanded against Phil Ivey and Patrik Antonius. The following day he ran up a 100K stack close to 700K. This was in October of 2008. Some people would argue that the best PLO and NL player in the world may well be Ilari Zigmund Sahamies !

Ilari “Zigmund” Sahamies

So you want more visibilty into Ilari Sahamies playing style ? Or just wonder what he looks like ? Well please watch these videos below:

Ilari Sahamies and Patrik Antonius in a huge live pot

Here is a video of Ilari Sahamies playing Phil Ivey heads up on Full Tilt Poker .

Ziigmund vs Phil Ivey PLO $322k Pot on FTP

Zigmund 1 Million dollar stack online

Recently, Zigmund managed to break the 1 million dollar stack barrier at Full Tilt Poker . That day, Ilari Sahamies ran up a 200K stack to well over a million dollars. He was playing shorthanded against the best players in the world, including the legends themselves Ivey and Patrik Antonius. In the chat box he said, “Good thing I didn’t go drinking today then”. With an extra million dollars in spare change, we can safely say that he has enough money to buy some new booze :).

Zigmund Tilt, Chat and Trash Talk Online

Ilari Sahamies likes to trash talk online and has a tendancy to tilt like crazy when he is losing badly. He routinely calls other players names and especially makes fun of David Benyamine which is pretty entertaining. See below for some chat excerpts !

Talking to Benyamine,

Ziigmund: your wife is in very good shape
Ziigmund: she is nice too
Ziigmund: so she is very much unlike you
Ziigmund: joking man
Ziigmund: u r cool

Talking to Gus Hansen,

Ziigmund: gus is from czech rebubplik
Ziigmund: from ROMANIA HE IS
Ziigmund: gus likes eurovision
Zigmund: gus should sing in eurovision..team chez romanisa
Zigmund: gus is singer from romania
Zigmund: czech rebuplic singer from eurovision gay bar GUSTAV HANSEN
Gus Hansen: no i dont think so

Is Zigmund Broke and Busto ?

This question comes up all the time from railbirds or players with no experience at high stakes poker. They see Ilari Sahamies lose 500K in a session and think he is broke. The truth is Ziigmund has a very hefty bankroll which is required not only to support the intrinsic variance of the biggest games but also his extremely volatile game play. If you add up the stacks he has on different tables just at Full Tilt Poker , you can often reach close to 2 million. But this is just the tip of the Iceberg if you ask us. Conversely, players like Ziigmund could get staked without any difficulty so runnning out of money is never an option for them !

Ziigmund Tequila shot video

This video of Ilari Sahamies drinking and acting crazy has recenty surfaced on the internet and become very popular. No comments, but he sure does seem like a cool drunk guy to be around !

Ziigmund Blog

Unfortnately for you, his blog is in a foreign language, but someone from 2+2 was kind enough to translate a section of his blog. The credit goes to “slow hands” and the link to the 2+2 thread is here:

2+2

Ziigmund on Germany:

“Me and Juha Helppi had enough time to go to Dortmund, where the service was awful, the casino was terrible and the people were rude… As Seppo Räty (a Finnish javelin thrower) put it: Germany is a **** country.”

Ziigmund on David Benyamine:

“French people are fat. Or at least that David guy is.”

Ziigmund on Juha Helppi:

“The guy is mentally 75 years old, but his appearance is like a 45 year old’s. The only thing that makes him look younger is the Interpoker clothes he wears 24/7.”

Ziig promised to record some PLO videos, and when they were late he posted this:

“My internet poker’s been going down, up and back down again… in other words, horrible SWINGS… -300k +300k -200 +400… etc. yeah… but about those videos, they’re on their way. so just wait with your dicks hard and your pussies wet for my videos for a little longer… and for those 90 percent of you who took this as an insult, don’t be so angry.”

Ziig on his bankroll management:

“I was playing in the tv show The Game in London, and in the end I was up nicely, more than any other player there. But the second I came back to Finland, my rolls were all around Full Tilt.”

Ziig on Martin de Knijff (swedish poker pro):

“No limit with 100/200 blinds really isn’t my thing… but as long as Martin de Knijff is playing too, we should all be fine.”

We hope you will have enjoyed this information on Ilari Zigmund Sahamies !

What is the highest hand in poker

What is the highest hand in poker ?

So what exactly is the highest hand in poker ? Well, let us tell you right now : It is the ROYAL FLUSH !!!! Yes, the elusive royal flush. You have a royal flush when all your cards are of the same suit and connected as in a straight - but all the way to the Ace! So for example [As,Ks,Qs,Js,10s] is a royal flush of spades.

Now let us be honest and say that the highest ranking poker hand that a player can possibly be dealt is very rare by definition. If you are a hard core poker player, you may only see a couple of royal flushes lifetime. That’s it ! Use them wisely I guess

What Are the Highest Raking Hands in Poker

Please refer to the chart underneath to understand the poker hand rankings:

What Beats A Royal Flush In Poker

So What Beats A Royal Flush in Poker ? Well, you would only ask this question if you weren’t paying any attention to this article ! But If a hand were to beat a Royal Flush, it would be 5 Aces. However, on planet earth poker is played with only 4 Aces in the deck. So remember, nothing beats a royal flush in poker. So feel free to go all the way with your hand, push all in, and collect the monies !

What does cib mean in poker ?

What does cib mean in poker

So what does cib mean in poker ? You may have come upon this term in a random poker forum and don’t know what cib stands for. Well no worries, we are here to help !

What is CIB in Poker

CIB simply means CLICK IT BACK ! OK, great but why click it back? CIB is a strategy that you can use when your image is loose and you want to exploit your opponent’s tendancy to tilt.

CIB “Click It Back” strategy revealed

OK so you’re ready to use CIB ?

You are out of position in a heads-up poker game. Your opponent raises 3x the button and you call with K10 suited. Flop comes *very* dry, K22 rainbow.
You check and your opponent c-bets as expected. Good players know that the raiser’s range will have missed the flop a lot so they like to check raise in this spot.

Actually, a check raise can be a good line in this spot because you will be polarizing your range to bluffs and very strong hands. If your opponent is decent he way well decide to float you with Ace high or a mid pocket pair.

But here’s why you want to use Click It Back “CIB”. So he c-bets and you *insta* raise him from 2 to 2.5x. You have to have your cursor hovering over the raise button before he actually bets and click instantly. This will do the following:

1/ Your bet will look like a total bluff and make no sense whatsoever. Your opponent knows that you will miss the King most of the times and the only hand you are really representing is a set of 2s. And sets don’t come that often.

2/ Your opponent will feel he is being messed with and may make a move on you.

This is a perfect move to use if you have a splashy image and have been check raising a lot of flops. The point of the strategy is that it allows you to check raise for value with a higher percentage call frequency from your opponent.

Anyways, now that you know what cib means in poker, you are ready to get back to the tables ! Start Clicking it Back now !
