I have a huge stack after the rebuy period if anyone wants to spec me in a 3.30 rebuy now.
Oh and Luw - I couldn't fold there personally.

I probably don't fold either due to the pot odds on offer, although I favour a larger raise pre too.
Railed you DML, what hand did you have in that mahoosive pot before you bust?

Trying to recall - it wasn't amazing - because I was pretty card-dead after the break. That one guy kept smooth-calling my raises, and I can probably count on two hands the number of times I've seen a flop at that stage of the tournament - and kept outflopping me every time. Was a bit of a nightmare meltdown - but he just wouldn't bugger off!

Just had my seat confirmed for the Goliath.
I hear the Friday is selling fast so those that are definitely playing should try and book their seat sooner rather than later.

I know it doesn't answer your question but I am still unsure.
I'm at the FT of a 4.40 at the moment.

Busted out just before the money three times in the last five of these 3.30 rebuys and boy is it getting on my nerves. People directly to my left keep magicking Aces out of their arse.

I had a bit of a downswing recently - but tonight came 5th in a 3.30 rebuy for around $120. Bit disappointed as I came into the final table as chip-leader, but won the small pots and lost the big ones. Eventually in 4th out of 5 shoved A-10 and got called by A-Q.

I had no idea!
Did ya feel the A-10 < A-Q shove was fair enough? I was fourth at that point and I just felt I would get bullied off my hand by too many worse hands to make a min-raise profitable...

Hot streak defo over at the local rebuy. Get dealt 10-5 in the BB, everyone limps - flop comes K-5-5 - bet and raise before me - I shove - get one caller....J-5.
Still - loads of split pot possibiliti...
Turn - Jack.
Arse.

N1 sniffington. Mixed game pr0 now.
Just a little bit of information for everyone.. As it stands we are at 179 for Wednesday, 121 for Thursday and 329 for Friday. There are 30 online players yet to confirm days, as well as approximately 35 from D4 events and red hot poker which hopefully will have their days allocated after the weekend.. Just under the 700 mark so starting to speed up!
Taken from Goliath facebook page. Still somewhat undecided. Deffo can't play Thursday though.
