Yes, that’s me at a .25/.50 cent table (Limit Texas Hold’em) with professional poker player Phil Hellmuth on UltimateBet. It was pretty sweet! I even took his ass on one hand so now I can say I went up against one of the best poker players in the world and beat him. I had aces the hole and he had tens. I raised pre-flop, he re-raised, and I capped it at four bets. There were two other players in the pot so it ended up being over $9 when the cards were turned over, which is pretty good at that limit. An interesting thing that I learned is that Phil has a contract with UB and has to play 40 hours a month, except during May when the WSOP is going on.
Overall it was a losing night of poker because I was paying too much attention to the conversations at the Phil table. Oh well…you win some, you lose some. How many other people can say they’ve played against a World Champion in something?

Cool! I’ve never gone looking for his table. Was there a long wait?
Did you get into 5th Street yet?

I was on the waiting list for probably close to two hours, but was playing other tables, so it’s not like I was sitting there waiting just for my spot to open up. Do you use UltimateBuddy? It shows you what tables people are playing at.
…and no, I haven’t received the book yet, but it should be coming any day now.
