As you all might have heard, ACF is under new management and therefore has a new take on poker. This new take is definitely evident as I look around the room. The former "cafetiria" is now a cashiers window and there is a buffet to the far right of the room right when you walk in. There is also a bad beat jackpot for the cash games and even an ironman prizepool.
Not to mention the new take on rake and the limit games. This is truly a different ACF poker room but the players faces are still the same with the occational smirk. Check it out for yourself, it is totally different.
BAD BEAT... ok, so I didn't get the beat but I gave it to a friend. Sorry Alan.
Checked out the ACF freeroll and it was an interesting game. Almost like a shootout. 5k stack with blinds starting with 100-200 doubling up everytime. 200-400, 400-800, 500-1000, 1000-2000 and so on every 15 mins. It is a freeroll afterall with a prize pool of 20k. 1st 7200, 4xxx, 3xxx all the way to 9th place who gets 600. Taxi fare to get there! LOL.
Well, back to the bad beat.
We were short handed with 6 players/5 players and I look down and see Qd4d. Since the blinds where already 400-800 and my stack is 6000, I decide to push. Just to do it ok, it was a free tournament afterall. Anyhow, Alan thinks about it for a long time and says "I think you pushed at the wrong time" and calls showing A's. The gang shows up to see what would happen, Miguel C., Alexis, etc.
flop - Q, 3, 7
Turn - Q - Alan is instantly tilted! Alan by the way is the big stack of the table.
River - 9
Hey, that's poker!
Maybe I'll check out the rest of the games this week too. Limit tournament on Tue and Thu. No limit Wed and friday. 11am and 6pm.
Good game.
