  1. I expect that when I wake up in the morning I can catch the end of it.
  2. Looks like a 2 hour dinner break scheduled in a few minutes.
  3. QFT - I think poker tournaments is the only use for Twitter.
  4. Wow, the tables I'm playing on are tighter than the FT...
  5. Ugh. Sounds like I'll have to mute the breaks to avoid listening to the same commercial 10 times in a row.
  6. I think this may be a big part of his arguement:This year, the WSOP locked out players who flew in from around the world to play in the main event.I know there were a lot of unhappy people who wanted to play in day 1d and were surprised when told it was sold out.
  7. I've been playing on-line for over 4 years and I haven't deposited in over 3. I started off originally on 888 and Party with a couple hundred on each, but went bust. I put $500 on FTP and got $500 in bonus money. Almost went bust there too (very poor BR management), but final tabled a big MTT and scored $1100. After that, I learned what limits to play for my BR and I've grinded it up ever since. Now I mostly play .5/1 cash games (even though I'm rolled for 1/2) because I'm a part-time player and that's a good game for my skill level.You have to learn bankroll management. It's sooooo easy
  8. Flesch Survives Day with One-Outer for Straight Flush!Mark Flesch has survived day two by the absolute skin of his teeth.His last chips were in the middle on a flop of Qc Jc 9c with Flesch holding a powerful Kc Kh but his opponent flipped Ac 2c for the nut flush.Flesch was left drawing to just one out, and it wasn't the 3h on the turn, but amazingly the Tc hit the river to give Flesch a straight-flush!What a way to end the day! He'll survive with a helluva story to tell with around 30,000 chips.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------H-U-G-E Pot F
  9. Yes, took it down. 150 people total. I cashed slightly over $1K.
  10. tyty. Not my highest cash, but pretty darn close. A little over $1K.My god, those people were all complete donks. I expected a little more for a $26 tourney, but they were bad from start to finish. Even the final table guys were terrible.
  11. At least this cash will make up for my PLO losses so far tonight...Nakus was the chipleader until he vanished from the table...
  12. If you're bored waiting for JC's dinner to be over, check me out on FTP's 3K guaranteed final table.I hate minbet and don't know why I joined the tournament, but I'm 1/4 in tournament #96597744.
  13. I play 0.50/1 cash games as well, but not the deepstack tables like you do apparently.Whenever I raise, I raise the pot (3.50) and I raise the same amount with every hand (AK, AQ, AA, 55, 67s, etc.). You have to raise every hand the same. If you min-raise with premium hands and a normal raise every other time, it won't be long before the table figures that out.After you raise with AK or AQ and miss the flop, you can still fire a continuation bet and take it down, I do it all of the time. It works best if you only had 1 or 2 callers. I wouldn't bet OOP against 3 or more opponents unless you
  14. You're new to the forums if you have to ask this question.Obviously, the answer is This Guy.
  15. Greinke vs. Carl Pavano this afternoon. Has there ever been a wider gulf between pitchers?Oh look, 2-0 KC already.
  16. Hey, Koop, glad so see you're still keeping this thread alive.My favorite thing about last night's win was both Jacobs and Olivo reigning in their free-swinging ways and actually looking to walk to get baserunners aboard. Especially Olivo. That was his SECOND walk all year and he wasn't going to swing the bat on that 3-1 pitch no matter what. Kevin Seitzer has done a great job in getting the team to take more pitches and walking more. They're on pace for 565 walks and they only had 392 last year. That's a ridiculous improvement considering their 2 big acquisitions (Jacobs and Crisp) weren
  17. Yeah, the strategy is really different in these. I like to lie low at the beginning, since an 8th/9th place finish will really hurt you. Once it gets to push/fold time, you have a real incentive to call, since the 2 points for a KO is really big. But it seems that most of the ones that I've played have been really tight, and you can pick up chips with aggressive play.Do people still play these? It seems like you have to wait a while to get one of these started, especially at the $100 or $200 level.
  18. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that episode sucked. The only interesting parts were about Arthur Petrelli and even those didn't give us too much insight into his past. Just how he survived his "heart attack". They really need to kill off a bunch of characters so we don't have to sit through so many story lines every episode.
  19. I just played a $100 one last night and it was kind of frustrating.First one I called a raise with 87s. Flop came J87 and he goes all-in. $1300 into a $400 pot so I call and he has KK. Board runs out 55 and I finish 9th.Second one I have AA vs. KK against the same guy and he wins with a flush. I finish 9th again.I win the last 2 to finish 2nd in matrix points and I take home $234.I might have been able to sweep the whole thing without those suckouts.
  20. Finshed 6th for $1500, my biggest payday ever! Q9 vs 66, 66 flopped a full house. gg me.
  21. Break time. I'm 7/7 and extremely short-stacked now. Need a nice double-up.
