Trip Report Poker Night with Chris Moneymaker Date: 11/15/07 Player: joel1968 For Rooms: Caesars Palace, Summary: Spent the evening and 1/2 the night playing at Caesar's, most of it with Chris Moneymaker on my left...and winning...=) Content: I got to the poker room about 830p or so, and sat down to play 1-3 NL. I was up about $120 or so, and then I look over my shoulder and see Chris Moneymaker at the desk with several other guys. Shortly after that, they are seated at a table away from the main tables. However, there are three open seats still there. I asked the floor if it was a private table or not, and he said no. I thought what the hell and racked up, got $200 more chips and went and sat down. I took the 1 seat, and Chris was in the 2 seat. The other guys with him were business associates, all here for the gaming convention. From the start, Chris was nothing but very nice to me. He told me upfront that the guy in the 3 seat had never played before and he was going to help this guy when he wasn't in a hand. I didn't care, the others knew how to play and he was very honest and straightforward about it. I knew I had to play tight since Chris was on my immediate left and he was playing pretty loose since it was his last night in town (he lives in Memphis). One hand I had KQ in late position and I flopped a str8. I checked, the guy Chris was helping bet $25, the 3rd guy in the hand called, and I check-raised to $75. Third guy folds after the rookie called. The turn was some blank and he goes all in. I called. He had KQ as well and we chop. I could hear everything Chris was telling this guy, so I felt like I was getting free poker lessons from him LOL. Later on I had my favorite hand 8/7 and I raised to $25 on the button. Chris called me. The flop came Q-8-7. He bet $25, two other players called, I raised to $100 with bottom two pair, he called, and the other two folded so we're heads-up. The turn card is a 6 and we check. I have about $210 left at this point. The turn is a 10 putting a 4 card str8 out there. Chris bets me all in, and I say screw it and call. He had 7/6, so I dragged that pot from him. Later on I had KK and one of his partners in the 9 seat raised preflop to $15. I reraised to $40 and he called. We're heads up and the flop comes Q-x-x. He goes all in and I call. The turn is a J and the river is another blank. He had AK and I dragged about $800 or so. By this time word has gotten around that Chris was there and there was an insane list to play. I left to go for a cigarette and a guy offered me $100 to give up my seat. I laughed and said higher. I took a few other pots from him, and even pulled off a bluff against him when I was way behind. I had QJ and I limped in late position. Chris raised to $20 (he was usually raising in late position whenever there was no preflop raise). The flop comes 9/4/4. He bet $50 and I raised to $150. He folded, saying "He's got A9.". When he finally busted out, he and his friends left, and it was something like 4am. I left immediately after that, up $1400, and came home and typed this. God, I don't wanna go to work in 5 hrs but I had to write this while it was still fresh in my mind. Chris is a very nice guy. He was drunk but he and his buddies were relaxing since the convention was over and he was flying home Thursday. Without exception he and his buddies are great sports, friendly, and Chris is a pro who does tip the dealers. They were very talkative and told us some REALLY good stories...I won't go into details, but I will say they have a very low opinion of Jamie Gold too (who doesn't?), and they did tell me why Johnny Chan REALLY was talking to and mentoring him during the WSOP. |
