The Poker Thread

Piece of cake DML. Just dodge the fickle finger of fate and I'm sure you'll be fine, based on your past record.

And Nova, I'm in the same boat as you regarding rakeback. There is nothing we can do I'm afraid.

Fickle finger of fate tonight. 13th from 20, but some insane situations including there being FIVE ACES IN THE DECK.



Either way, I'm just happy to score (you have to be top sixteen to tally) but damnations its still not enough. I need one more game, and I cant see where I'm gonna get to get there. Bah, bah, bah!

Five Aces?!?

Sounds like a case for this man...



You don't have anyone that looks a bit like you, do you DML? We could fit him with an earpiece and feed him instructions, perhaps?

I've been told I'm the spit of Michael Buble.



Good luck getting him!

Well not with full tilt but you can always change site? What stakes and game do you play? If it's anything below $100NL I'd seriously suggest moving elsewhere for rakeback. (And if you want you can let me refer you so I get some bonus moneys on top?)

I don't just suggest a change for my referral benefits either. I've played 55k hands of cash now and check out how much of my roll is made from rakeback + bonuses. (Bonus makes up £100 and the graph is £ not $). It's like £800 over 3 months play.

The rake at low stakes takes the piss frankly and they can get away with it. I would make around 2 buyins for whatever level I played each week!

Yeah I've got a RB account on Betfair, but I prefer FT for the smaller buy in tourneys, along with the fact it doesn't take half an hour for a table to fill.

STT? Why not try cash somewhere with RB?

Any news on the GR tourney then?

No, I meant more like the $3.30 90 man KO's.

I'm currently 19/42 in a $3.30, (Started with 342 runners) so if any of you are on Full Tilt, look me up!

I'm speccing, though I've been known to bring both good and bad luck.

Also, I saw that hand from where the quote in your sig comes from. Mike Matusow isn't it from this year's Main Event?

Indeed. I think it was the featured hand at the back of last months PokerPlayer. Such a sick fold.

Here it is..

You've at least been moved to an okay table. Plenty of smaller stacks there for you to take, hopefully.

Heh I will redownload FT for the ultimate rail fest then. I think think the rake will hamper thing in the long run if you intend to move up. You can play a couple of these a week and it soon begins to add up. As soonas I found out about RB I left FT.

EDIT: username to rail?

EDIT: Gotcha.

PsychicSykes.

What a suck out, runner runner. Sick!

Apologies to you two (If you're still watching ) peeling potatoes and my general donkishness is probably not helping the entertainment.

Anyone fancy joining me in the 11:30 $10 + 1 one rebuy one add on 6.5k GTD?

EDIT: Yeah I will be railing like mad if you ship the chips.

Damn it. Sucks when that happens.

I missed the hand but ffs that sucks. It's why I cannot be strawberry floated to play like 3 hours to win a buyin back. I suppose you did knock some people out??

I'm still in the 6.5k GTD. 459 runners and I'm 65/125 left, 45 paid.

Yeah, I think I got about 3 times my buy-in total, so it wasn't a complete loss. Played okay for the first couple of hours two, but I'm happy with the last half hour I player. That's tourney poker for you though.

As for your tourney, TID!
