IMO we should try get people in the 35k GTD tonight on ipoker. It's $100 tourney but there is a $10 satelite starting in 3 hours with 25 seats GTD. I should probs mention it's a $10 RB.

If people want in I could buy up some action too...


Does it usually reach the GP? I canne afford a $100 tourney :( would love to play it though!

Americans can't play on Ipoker. I can understand the PS one being at 9:30 but not the ipoker one.


Ohh, right, thought you guys were talking about games on Stars. I should learn to read posts more thoroughly. :oops:

Busting out of everything despite getting it in good. Better win the strawberry floating rebuy later.

I'm really desperate to get back to the poker tables but I just can't find the time at the moment. I thought I might be able to get some games in this weekend but I don't think I'm going to be able to now, maybe next weekend.

Have we decided on the format for the GRSOP?

Earlier I thought we had agreed to six events -

Stud
Omaha
HU NL Hold 'Em
Six Max NL Hold 'Em
HORSE
Main Event - NL Hold 'Em

But with talk of a High Roller Event, should that be worth more points towards Player of the Year? Maybe the name of this title should be changed to 'GRCades Ace in the Pack'? Also perhaps the High Roller Event should be the Six Max?

I don't know what it is with cash, but I just get really spewy with impulse calls. It was fine yesterday when I was running well, but all my marginal decisions were wrong today and were probably bad calls.

Gotta find a way to stop doing it, or how can I ever make money playing?

I don't do it nearly enough by I think you can help yourself by noting the hand numbers of hands you felt uncomfortable with into a notepad document or something and setting poker time aside to review them in much more detail.

Also, I find watching HSP + Poker after dark ect. makes me feel elite :P

If you're using HEM you can mark the hands to view later.

Stop calling so much. Don't forget the onus is on you to be the aggressive player. Tighten up pre, don't steal so much for a while, fold in marginal situations and remember to keep pounding away postflop for value. You're a good player and I'm sure getting back to basics will set you on the right path.

O rly? How is that done?

I'm just not really feeling poker at the moment. Too concerned with trying to make money out of it quickly than actually really working hard to get better at the grind (which everyone needs to do sooner or later). I may stick to more live stuff (more fun), and tournaments; I certainly feel less compelled to play all the time now.

Might do a Drummy.

You know the thing that shows the last 3 hands outcomes? Left click then right click. Brings up a window. Top left of that there is a checkbox. Check this to mark it.

Then go to HEM later. Click hands tab. Then "marked hands only" or whatever.
