Grats, now have the biggest roll on here.

I think I've got these 180mans sussed. I'm playing two more now and I'm down to the cash in both of them (2/11 in one and 4/14 in the other). I'm also playing the $3 rebuy and very close to the money in that 8-)

1st in one and 2nd in the other now 8-)

Check out this hand: :shock:

Edit: Made the final table in both 180man tournies

, but I got knocked out the $3 rebuy in 1100th with the cash starting at 990.

Wait. What the hell is that about? :lol:

It looked so promising making the final tables but I got quite a bit of bad luck and ended up 7th and 8th

This was the one that did the most damage:

I was worried about the flush so I just called the bet because I wanted to see the turn, but I think even if I had shoved then he would have called anyway.

Ah, finally it's the weekend. I hope to fit a few games in.

I just a put a guy all-in pre flop with 99 he called with 82 and flopped trip 8's :fp:

Luckily I hit a 9 on the river so I won the hand and knocked the guy out and he got well angry :lol:

donk: *writes a loads of stuff in another language*

satriales3: Maybe fold 82 pre next time.

donk: blah, blah, not sorry heh?

satriales3: Why should I be sorry fish?

Was just playing a $10 MTT. It was very close to the bubble, I only had 15BB and this was the best hand I'd had all tourney so I tried to get a double-up out of it:

How can someone put 20% of their stack in pre-flop with 93 after I'd raised from early position :fp:

And then they call another big portion of their stack after the flop with bottom pair, 9 kicker :fp:

It's so annoying to get knocked out against such a bad player :evil:

Has Sharkscope stopped showing stats for all players except those who specifically opt-in? :shock:

Edit: I just seen this on the Pokerstars software updates page, it might come useful for the GRSOP:

Private Tournaments for Smaller Stakes – We’ve added the ability to create private tournaments at the $1.10 and $3.30 levels. The privilege to create private tournaments on PokerStars is available to most players who have earned 2000 or more FPP over the lifetime of their account. If you believe you qualify for the privilege, contact support@pokerstars.com for more information.

Slick, Sykes has that ability already so we'll be able to play with the original buy-ins.

I've just checked, how gooseberry fool.

The sharkscope thing is only for stars though.

Apparently it hasn't changed for subscribers either, they still can see everything.

I played a few MTT's today and it looked like variance had caught up with me as I ran really bad all evening. One hand I had KK and the flop was AAK. I got it all-in on the flop against a donk who had previously gone all-in with nothing but a gutshot straight draw and so I thought I'd be well ahead but he had AA :fp:

I ended the evening playing a $5 45man tourney and I won it which made up for the lack of cashes earlier in the day

Played 4 sngs today and broke even exactly. How very droll.

PostRe: The Poker Thread - Success! by **Rex McGee** » Mon Aug 17, 2009 4:46 pm

Did my best impression of satriales today. Played 2 30man SnGs. One $5, the other $10. Came 2nd in both.

But you didn't win.

He did say it was his best impression

PostRe: The Poker Thread - Success! by **Lenty** » Tue Aug 18, 2009 12:47 pm

2 months, 2 million has started and is available from thepokerbay and presumably other good torrent sites.

A new Reality TV show on G4TV featuring four high stakes online players as they attempt to earn $2 million collectively in just two months.

Featuring Dani Stern (Ansky), Jay Rosenkrantz (Krantz), Brian Roberts (Flawless Victory) & Emil Patel (Whitelime)

Should be good fun at least. Will download tonight and report back.
