In October and November I began making forays into the Big Game at the Bellagio, a high-stakes affair seemingly always in progress. The first four of these occasions I won almost $500,000 without a single pokerparty loss. Then, in December, I played three more times over a weekend and lost $176,000. Playing in a poker game where you can win or lose that much in one night is always exciting, but I especially enjoyed the camaraderie with some of the people I used to play high-limit poker at pokerparty com with back in the 1990s -- great players like Johnny Chan, Doyle Brunson, David "Chip" Reese, Gus Hansen, Chau Giang, Eli Ezra, Barry Greenstein and Jennifer Harmon Traniello.

That weekend I did manage to win a few pots, one of them a big PokerParty Texas Hold 'em hand vs. Traniello. First, let me tell you a little about Traniello. She is the best woman poker player on the planet right now, although Annie Duke -- when she focuses on the pokerparty game -- can challenge her for that title. But beyond that, Traniello is one of the best all-around poker players in the world -- man or woman. In the last few years, she famously beat Andy Beal for $9 million in one day; she has won two World Series of Poker (WSOP) titles; and if that's not enough, she has also made several World Poker Tour final tables.

Traniello has proven that she has the rare combination of poker skills necessary to compete successfully in both the big-time poker tournaments and the high-limit side games at pokerparty com. She also plays in the Big Game almost every day, and has earned the respect of all the great players in that game. No less authorities than Brunson and Chan feel that she is "one of the best all-around pokerparty players in the world." The Big Game is a $2,000-$4,000 limit "mixed game," meaning that you play more than one discipline -- usually at least six different brands of poker like Seven Card stud, and Omaha eight or better -- by rotating from one brand to the next.

It was during the Pokerparty Hold 'em part of the mix that I looked down at pocket kings and made it $4,000 to go in late position. Traniello made it $6,000 to go from the small blind with her pocket aces, and I called. I merely called her reraise -- instead of raising it again -- to disguise the strength of my pokerparty hand. Why make it $8,000 to go and alert Traniello that I had a huge hand? The last card (the river) was a five, Traniello checked again, and I bet $4,000. She then raised it up, making it $8,000 to go, I reraised it, making it $12,000 to go, and she called.
