Cheers lads, you lot must have been the first ever $4 cheering section. Shame I couldn't TID, but it's a start. GG but not Gl.

How much did he win?

PostRe: ***Offical Poker Thread*** by **satriales** » Sat Jan 31, 2009 5:48 pm

About $140 which is not bad for a $4 buy-in, but not quite as good as turning $5 into $3000

Satriales (I will call you Gazza now because Satetc is too long), were you playing 6-Max tables when you played cash on Stars?

I was playing 9-max. I played a couple more tables while psychicsykes was in his tournament and ended up another $10 up. My first day at pokerstars has gone well, I turned $50 into $80

SlayerX - This 'Venue Champions' ruling in the LPPL is verging on farcial. Having just worked out it out roughly in a piece of paper, it mean people in 121st and 138th will qualify for the final 64, but me in 61st - I have to sweat it out on the day in the hope of getting a reserve spot...

Tonight has been horrible on cash. Been playing 0.02/0.05 and ran like gooseberry fool. This happened as I was stopping. Figured it was either going to make the session worth it or cap off a terrible night.

Nice one

I didn't play enough to get enough points since I started at the end of Dec.

Lets hope the next 2 months I can qualify.

Just finished a 180 man MTT came 12th

I was just playing a couple of tournaments. The first I got AA in the first hand and reraised all-in, someone called with 33 and hit a set to knock me out

On the other tournament there was this pretty sick hand:

OMG I was playing a 90 man SNG before the LPPL anyway got down to 20 and 18 paid and I was the chip leader but I had to go.

So I left it running expecting to just cash at best, i've just come back and I came 2nd place 8-)

It was only a 0.25 tourney but it net me $4.17

Haha amazing! I once cashed in a 90man SNG play money at full tilt by simply registered. I left it running as an experiment and made the monies!

SnGs have been going ok today. Won a $50+5 game that Sykes was watching at the bubble.

DONT FORGET FULL TILT TONIGHT.
