Larrel

One of the things I find amusing about some of the posters...most especially me, is that some of us have been LONG time lurkers and it took this to get us to post. Hmmm...I wonder what that means.

Has anyone been to a taping of a final table before? Do they take breaks like this? I can't imagine the people at the rails sticking around for something like this without being hysterically drunk.

Perhaps to help with gettin publicity for the site, DN has decided to go for the record books and have the longest final table EVAR.

Wow...I popped on to see who had won. This is, well...interesting. You would think all these breaks and "possibly" playing hands at another location would affect your game. I hope they really didn't try and sell the idea of the webcast outside of the FCP community. It wouldn't bode well as everything seems a bit shady.-Larrel

Taken from new email:We also want to address a couple of player complaint issues that are valid and that warrant changes. One is that player usernames are showing up with a 0 (zero) at the end of the name, if that username is already taken in the network. Some players don't like the way that looks, so a remedy is in the works to solve this issue. The other issue is that the first deposit sign up bonus clearing ratio is too high. It started out at 5:1 ($5 of rake you contributed gets you $1 of bonus money) for standard players and 3:1 for Charter Members. We are contemplating the possibili

I am more aggressive after several drinks. Every win and final table has either been when drinking or sick.And let me get this straight...WAZZU is now kicking kids out for drinking?!?!? What is next? Not allowing people to cow-tip your cheerleaders?-LarrelUW Alum

I wanted to share my good fortune (not literally) and thank those who post here as they are partially to thank for my first MTT win LAST NIGHT.I was playing the evening $22 Limit on UB. Normally I would never play an entry that was that high as $5.5 is my cut-off for this new "hobby". Before this the only significant wins has been several first places in $5.5 SNGs. Lately I have had a good win streak at the $0.25/$0.50 cash tables and a friend talked me into use some of that to play the $22 Limit MTT. I was so excited when I made it in the money since i knew I was going to at least recover my

uh...LarrelI play $1 and $5 SNGs and .25/.50 cash tables....tragically mediocre, but improving thanks to you and my lurking skills.

Hehe...when you said in "good shape" I thought you might be referring to the weight he has lost recently.

(Poker Newbie as of November 2004)Last night I was in a UB $5 tourney. I had gotten a couple of bad beats but crawled my way back to 4500 with 130 people left. I was BB with 99, there were some limpers and the button did a raise of 2xBB. I figured (incorrectly as you will see) that he was just trying to steal the blinds since he had done it several times from button. I re-raised, limpers folded and button called. He had lots of chips to spare compared to me. Anyway, flop has a scary K in it, I check and button goes all-in. I thought and thought and this is where I need help, I called what I th

Smash,How do you do it?This blind level is killing me! I have been lurking for awhile and enjoying the contributions of this forums members. But I have to know how you do it. Tonight I thought I would try your little experiment on my own. They have no respect for a raise and they will take ANYTHING with them to the river? If I was any I am going to squeak by with an earning tonight....but it was painful.I would like to continue my own experiement but what advice would you have. In reading your reports I see that you play loose.Regards
