[DrPhysic]

”2+2 NORTH AMERICA vs EUROPE CHALLENGE #1”
was held Saturday May 8 at 2PM EDT on Poker Stars. Open to all 2+2 people with invitations sent to 85 2+2 SNG regulars, we hoped to get 50 players. 24 players had a ball. If you missed it, you shouldn’t have! The North American Team beat The European Team by a score of 228 points to 164. Doug Brennan was the overall winner, Flopped Flush took second, Al Capone Junior was third, Tim Perkin and Stoneii shared the bubble.

It is now time for:

<font color="blue"> “2+2 NORTH AMERICA vs EUROPE CHALLENGE #2”</font>

EVENT: a private password multitable tournament on Poker Stars.

GAME: No Limit Hold’em.

TEAM SCORING: Mike Haven’s “Balanced Scoring System for 2 Unbalanced Teams” The nature of the scoring system is to reward both participation and placing. To help your team win, bring lots of your friends, and then place as high as possible in the tournament.

THIRD TEAM: Will not happen. Reason being that Mike’s spreadsheet for two teams is bad enough but doable. The one for three teams looks worse than an income tax form.

TEAM PRIZES: The winning team will win 2+2 bragging rights until we have the next one.

INDIVIDUAL PRIZES: Prizes are the usual cash prizes for multitable tournaments on Poker Stars

<font color="red">BONUS PRIZES: Todd Discenza, Marketing Manager for PokerStars.com has generously provided the following bonus prizes for this event:

A POKER STARS CAP FOR EACH PLAYER THAT REACHES THE FINAL TABLE,</font> see: http://www.pokerstars.com/fpp_store.html, “Black or Tan Hat”. You must have your mailing address registered with Poker Stars to receive this prize, and

<font color="red">A BONUS OF 100 TOURNAMENT DOLLARS FOR THE OVERALL WINNER,</font> if we have 50 players. These dollars can't be withdrawn - they are valid for buying into tournaments on PokerStars.

We wish to thank Todd Discenza and Poker Stars for helping us make this a first class event. Now, we need to get the word out, get registered, and get a whole lot of our friends to come play in the tournament to repay Poker Stars for their courtesy.

If not clearly one or the other you can pick your team and play with your buddies. If you wish you can play as an individual without belonging to a team.

Team Captains:
Codewarrior will captain the North American Team.
Tim Perkin will captain the European Team.
You can expect to hear from them in posts, pm’s or whatever to drum up some team support. I heard something about the Euro team planning a Goodyear Blimp flyover to RahRah the team during the event, and the NA team setting up fireworks to shoot at the blimp.

HYPE: Any and all is encouraged. Last Longer Bets which any players can make with their mates, nemeses, and enemies; Ransoms on more established players that get put out on certain hands, etc, that spiced up last game; Bounties on selected players of the other team.

Doc,

I thought the NA team had retired after the last once-in-a-lifetime miracle /images/graemlins/grin.gif

How much are you bribing the PS programmers this time? /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[t_perkin]

So I suppose I better start off the the bounties. I will run the same bet that I did last time:

If you are the player that knocks me out of the tournament then I will pay you $15.

If I knock you out of the tournament then you pay me $10.
______________


To accept this bet you MUST sign up to this bet by replying to this post any time before the start of the tournament.

Only open to players on the inferior team. In case you dumbass americans haven't worked it out, that means Y O U.

If you sign up and either I or you don't play then the bet between us is off.


Thats all folks.

Tim

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;

In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage.
(Henry V 3.1.40-7)

I’ll throw down my gauntlet as well – same deal as my esteemed European counterpart:

If I knock you out of the tournament then you pay me $10.

This offer is open only to the doughnut-punchers on the European team /images/graemlins/cool.gif

Best of luck,

This day will now be called the Euro feast of Crispin:
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispin.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispin:'
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.
And say 'These wounds I had on Crispin's day.'
Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day: then shall our names.
Familiar in his mouth as household words
Tim of Perkin, Praying the Mantis, Kincaid and Jon,
Tosh and William, Debaser and Ruddiger,
Be in their flowing cups freshly remember'd.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in Euroland now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

Doc,
Keep me posted of when this is gonna happen. I can't commit for sure to playing, but I would like, and I am sure you guys would want me to play since I have played cards 3 times in the past 6 months. This sounds like fun though!

I suppose that means the Danish contingent has surrendered forthwith, therefore is no further threat. (As if they ever were a threat, (to anybody)).

I suppose that a $10 Last Longer bet would be a mere waste of a letter, even if virtual. But the Tenspot proferred is distinctly not virtual.

If the Danish contingent ever comes out of hiding, the offer is open. (not that that is a likely prospect!)

Jump in!

The “2+2 NORTH AMERICA vs EUROPE CHALLENGE #2” will be a fun event and is for everyone. You don’t have to qualify, or have a certain number of posts. You certainly don’t have to be an expert. There is no limit on the number of players, all are invited.

Getting to play against top 2+2 tournament players at a reasonable buy-in is the best education money can buy! You PAY for your poker tuition. I know of nowhere that you can play against top players at such an affordable price.

We want more players. To those who have watched, read, thought about jumping in to play... The SNG games and the tournaments are FUN. They are also a way to learn poker from some of the BEST!

Getting a chance to play with William, (MobyDick), Praying Mantis (HelmetSky), heyrocker, Poker Jon, thomastem, wayabvpar, Kurn, or Byron is a privelidge! Because I learn something new every time they clean me out (again).

And once in a while, I manage to get bragging rights!

Jump in. You will be glad you did.

Doc /images/graemlins/cool.gif

[William]

Doc,

The Danish contingent can be found every evening playing the WCOOP (been able to qualify everyday so far but haven't made the money yet) and you and others are more than welcome to drop by, say hi and annoy my opponents at the table /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Also, MobyFish is my name at TruePoker, but I will allow you to use it as a password free of charge (so generous is the Danish contingent)

Finally, you're more than on for the 10$ last long bet, assuming I play, which I intend, unless the event is played during the weekend, then it depends if I am home or not.

PS. I also see right thru you when you are trying to tease me and push me into placing some nasty bounty on your head and others from the NA team (which I might actually do anyway /images/graemlins/grin.gif )

Nice hearing from you /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[DrPhysic]

There have been a few questions on the forums and by pm about the side bets mentioned in the tournament post. Here is an explanation of the most common ones.

The bets mentioned in the tournament post are basically proposition bets. A proposition bet is one that is offered by one player, with whatever conditions attached he may specify, and accepted or not by one or more players.

A ”Last Longer” bet is usually a bet between friends (or enemies) that I will last longer, ie: place higher, in the tournament than you will. The bet and amount are agreed to before the tournament.

Another form of last longer bet is Tim Perkin’s, <font color="blue">“I'LL TAKE YOU ALL ON &lt;&lt;bounty&gt;&gt;” If you are the player that knocks me out of the tournament then I will pay you $15. If I knock you out of the tournament then you pay me $10.</font> Note that the proposition has terms: <font color="blue">Must accept the bet in advance, must be a member of the NA team, and must both actually play.</font> Not a bad bet for you as it pays 3 to 2, and certainly not a bad bet for Tim as he only has to pay it once. If he wins the tournament, or the person who puts him on the rail has not accepted the wager; then he doesn’t pay it at all. But he can collect on it several times.

A ”Bounty” is sometimes offered simply as an offer of payment placed by one player on someone who is a friend, or an (usually friendly) enemy for whomever takes that person out of the tournament. It is often in the form of “I’ll pay $10 to whomever takes out William!” as an example.

”Ransoms” are forms of proposition bets that are placed on one player by another with some specified set of conditions, but is different from a bounty in that it does not necessarily imply putting the person on the rail.

As an example, in the first NA vs EU tournament William, (who is a good friend of mine. er.... I guess), announced that I had stolen his blinds once too often. Naturally being from Denmark he is on the other team, and somewhat of a suspicious character to begin with....

So, he put out a "ransom" for anyone who could catch me in CO or Button, in an uncalled hand, and won the hand at showdown with me holding any hand not including a pair, an ace or a picture card. The ransom was $10 for anyone who could catch me stealing.

Proposition bets in general are any bet that you can get someone else to agree to the terms of. Think up your own. A few side bets for a tournament, especially among people who know each other, spice up the flavor of the game.

Seriously, what part of the prophecy did you guys just not get?

Thus spake the prophet Blake in 1792:

The morning comes, the night decays, the watchmen leave their stations;
The grave is burst, the spices shed, the linen wrapped up;
The bones of death, the cov'ring clay, the sinews shrunk &amp; dry'd.
Reviving shake. inspiring move, breathing! awakening!
Spring like redeemed captives when their bonds &amp; bars are burst;
Let the slave grinding at the mill, run out into the field;
Let him look up into the heavens &amp; laugh in the bright air;
Let the inchained soul shut up in darkness and in sighing,
Whose face has never seen a smile in thirty weary years;
Rise and look out, his chains are loose, his dungeon doors are open
And let his wife and children return from the opressors scourge;
They look behind at every step &amp; believe it is a dream.
Singing. The Sun has left his blackness, &amp; has found a fresher morning
And the fair Moon rejoices in the clear &amp; cloudless night;
For Empire is no more, and now the Lion &amp; Wolf shall cease.

This is your chance, don't miss out on what is generally a real good time. Although it's well known I HATE internet poker, of the time I did spend playing online, I have to say I enjoyed playing the 2+2 tournament events most of all. Winning KOTZ pot limit hold'em was one of my favorite poker moments, even tho I have certainly won bigger events for more money elsewhere. Still tho, it was a respectable field of damn good players, particularly the last table where I wound up heads up with Vinny the Fish, who is a DAMN good player. I also enjoyed winning Granny's Toejam, but heck, Granny filled that one with FISH! It was much harder to win king of the zoo.

I will re-post the KOTZ pot limit hold'em tournament report here for those who wish to re-hash the past! The Euro-Trashers can expect another writeup of the success of the USA! USA! team after this event is over!



Tournament report - KOTZ Pot limit hold'em

Well it started off pretty darn TIGHT. Skaboomizzy, nottom, MrFroggyX, Filip, jpg777, pumpkinhoney, and me were at the table. I didn't do much till hand seven, when I got ATs and made a pot sized raise. As had happened in five out of six of the previous hands, I took my turn stealing the blinds.

Some excitement finally got going on hand nine. Filip raised to 40 and Froggy-boy made it 100. The flop came Qs As 2d. Froggy checked, Filip bet 100, Froggy check-raised to 200, and Filip called. The turn was the 8h. Froggy bet 350 and Filip called. River came another 8, offsuit. Froggy bet 200 and Filip went all-in for 580 more. Froggy called and AK was good. Filip gets the less than dubious honor of first out of KOTZ.

I then got moved to a different table, with AAmazon, DaGrifter, Silvur, vehn, Choyce, sawil, and CrackerZack. There was a little lively banter at the table, but everything was said in good fun and kept clean :-). CrackerZack did however lament that that "you keep raising me, you'll be short lived."

On hand 12 Silvur and vehn get all-in before the flop. Vehn's KK beats Silvur's AQ and leaves Silvur with only 140 chips remaining. Silvur did double up a few hands later tho.

On hand 17 Grifter limps and JasonHoldem pot raises to 70, Grifter calls. Flop comes J 5 3 and Jason bets 100. Grifter makes it 400 and Jason goes all-in for 950 more. Grifter calls all-in. The turn is a K and the river is a 7. Jason KK in the hole takes it and Grifter goes out 59th.

Hand 24 was the prelude to the hand that would make my whole tournament, save for the final hand. I get AK and Silvur and sawil call, I pot raise to 100. I get respect as they both toss that trash they limped with ;-).

Sawil raised my big blind from his small blind. I chunked my J6o and he flashed AA. Sawil lamented "you guys using that pattern map and saw I had AA , right?" :-)

On hand 35 I was dealt KK. The blinds were 15-30 and Sawil popped a pot sized raise. I re-potted it up to 360 and we took a flop. The ace high flop was kinda like when you step in dog-doo. We both checked the flop and I folded when he bet the turn.

Hand 43 woke up the sleepy players who had mostly been stealing each other's blinds. Jason min-raises to 60 (GAG Jason!) from the button and gets action from AAmazon and Silvur. Flop comes Td Jh 2c. AAmazon bets 60, silvur folds, Jason makes it 360, AAmazon makes it 1260, Jason calls. The turn is the 8h and AA goes all-in for 585 more, Jason calls. River 2d. The old Suck-Re-Suck goes down as Jason's AA rivers aces up beats AAmazon's flopped jacks and tens. AAmazon goes out 56th.

The next hand has vehn going for the steal from the small blind, raising to 90, but getting looked up by Choyce. Flop comes K 8 5 with two hearts. Vehn bets 100 and Choyce calls. The turn is a six and vehn bets 380, getting raised to 760, then reraising to 1140, putting Choyce all-in. Choyce takes it tho as K8s beats 86o on this one.

On hand 47 I call sawil's min raise from the small blind into my big blind with J7o. The flop is T 7 rag. Sawil bets 90 into me and II pot raise it to 390. Sawil folds and I take the pot. I did not even have the show hand option on in the whole tourney, tho I did a few times tell what I had.

Things get pretty boring for a while. I stole a couple blinds, so did everyone else. No one's stacks changed very much for a while. No big pots. That changes on hand 67. JasonHoldem has a big stack of about 5000 and vehn has 2200 or so. Jason pots it to 175 and vehn min-reraises to 300 (I am not so critical of this type of a min-raise, it's just those preflop ones when no one has raised yet, but I digress...). They take a flop which comes Th 5s 4s. Vehn bets 375 and Jason max raises to 1750. Vehn goes the rest of the way all-in for another hundred or so. Turn is a 7, river 8. Vehn's QQ beats Jason's QTs and vehn doubles up.

On hand 73 I went for the steal with 66 and got called by nottom. I bluffed at a king high flop, but he raised me big time and I had to fold. I was down to about 1000 after that.

On hand 81 I get big slick again. Blinds are 25-50. Stew and vehn limp and I pot it to T275. Stew folds but vehn calls. Flop comes 232. I pot it for 675 and vehn folds.

Next hand, Stew and sawil both limp and nottom checks in the bb. Flop is K Q x and the [censored] hits the fan when Stew and sawil raise each other till they're all-in. Stew's pocket AA go down in flames as sawil's KQ take the pot, sawil doubles up. Stew goes the way of the rail, out 44th.

On hand 86, Choyce, Jason, and CrackerZack get into a three-way pot for 600 each preflop. Cracker is all-in with his short stack. It's checked to the river. Jason's pair of nines wins and Cracker goes out 41st.

It goes back to the wallet-stealing contest for a while. The action wakes up a bit when the blinds get to 50-100. vehn makes it 300 and StageMusic makes it 500. Jason raises the max and makes it 1900. Jason gets respect and they both toss their cards into the muck.

On hand 101 I steal the blinds with ATo. The next hand I get AQo and pot it to 350, but nottom calls me. The flop is 8 6 3 rainbow. I immediately pot it to 850. Nottom raises me, basically forcing me to fold or go all-in. I push the rest of my stack and the cards come up. I have no pair but he has pocket 77. D'oh! Bad play on my part. But I get lucky and catch an ace and double to 2930. The poker gods favored me that day. I figured that since I was in a steal position, he would have reraised me with any hand better than mine. I also figured it was unlikely that flop hit him, and that he was trying to make a move on me. Turns out I was dead wrong, and a 3:1 dog. But every dog has their day, and this one was mine.

A few hands later, nottom doubles with JJ vs MobyDick's unimproved AK. Nottom is back in the game.

Hand 108 sees Choyce go the way of the rail, 33rd. Choyce limps and Tharg checks in the BB. K 9 x flop, Tharg bets 250, choyce goes all-in for 575 more, Tharg calls. Tharg's 93s beats Choyce's A5s as no ace comes.

Hand 109 sees one of the greatest travesties possible in the game of hold'em. All fold to the BB, Moby, who then flashes AA.

StageMusic and whiskeytown both take a big hit on hand 117 when his AT has kicker trouble vs. nottom and Whiskeytown in a three-way all-in on an ace high flop. Nottom's AK holds up and Stage and Whiskey both go down in flames. Whisky still has 4770 after the hand tho, while Stage is down to 375. He goes out the next hand in 27th place.

Hand 119 has vehn go for the steal, raising the 150 bb to 400. Acesover8s calls and the flop is 2 4 8 rainbow. Vehn bets 500 and Aces goes all-in for 885 more, vehn calls. Aces pocket KK beats vehn's K2o and Aces doubles up to 3570. vehn still has plenty of chips tho.

Jason and Acesover8s have a major all-in confronation on hand 122. It's a bit anti-climactic tho when they both have AT at the showdown!

Hand 126 sees a new chip leader emerge. Whiskeytown raises to 525 and nottom calls. Flop comes 3 4 6 rainbow. Whiskey bets 450 and nottom makes it 2550. Whiskty goes all-in for 4000 more. Nottom says "i'd feel really silly making this call" and eventually folds. He still has plenty of chips left, but Whiskey takes the lead with a 6000+ pot.

Hand 140 has nottom knocking Tharg out of the tourney in 22nd place. Tharg got all his money in with the best of it on a 98x flop. But the river gods favored nottom as a seven spiked the river, and Tharg's TT lost to 87, two pair.

On hand 143 I steal the blinds with AK. Good old big slick. My stack is currently at 3080.

Hand 149 is a biggie. Nottom makes it 600 and Moby makes it 2100, nottom goes all-in for 4560 more and Moby calls for his last 1225. Nottom's AK beats Moby's TT and Moby goes the way of the rail, out 21st.

Hand 161 sends Jason the way of the rail, out 18th. Nottom and Jason get all-in BTF heads up. Qd Qh Jd 6d 7h comes on the board and nottom's AJ prevails over Jason's AT.

On hand 166 CM Burns comes to the table with a HUGE stack of about 21000. I have 2480 at this time and get KcQd. I raise the 200 bb to 700 and CM calls me from the BB. The flop comes 4d 7d Td. CM bets 1500 into me. With two overcards and a flush draw heads up, I am pretty much forced to call. I can't put him on an ace or king very easily, as he probably would have reraised, at least with the ace. So I am putting him either on one pair lower than a K or Q, or a bluff. I call him and takes my chances with the poker gods. But they favor me again, and a diamond hits the turn. He has 8s7s and I double up. His stack is hardly dented tho! According to twodimes.net I was a 52.4% favorite to win the hand. But since I was fairly desperate at the time, I had to go for it. The gods were on my side, again.

Hand 169 is pivotal for VinnyTheFish. Nottom gets Vinny all-in BTF for Vinny's last 1480. When the final board is Ts 8s Tc Jd Jh Vinny's AJ beats nottom's KQ. Vinny probably didn't realize this hand saved him a seat at the final table at the time!

On hand 174 I got dealt AQ. I pot raised to 700 and CM Burns called my ugly ass! The flop was K 9 4. He pot bet 1500 and this time I was not risking the rest of my chips. He took it down and didn't show.

On hand 180 the short-stacked vehn got all-in vs. the GIANT stacked CM Burns. Qd 2h Qs Qc 4s was the final board and vehn survived with 55 vs. CM's AT.

Next hand I had pocket QQ. Acesover8s pot raised and I pot reraised. He chunked his hand and I was up to 5410.

Steeser's lasat 4900 got into the pot on hand 182. Nottom followed suit and also got all-in. Burnsie looked them both up and a three-way showdown ensued. The board read 6h Qs 7d 3s Kh. Burnsie and nottom split up Steeser's money as they both had KQ, Steeser's 44 being no good. Steeser goes out 15th.

Vinny gets all-in for his last 2200 on hand 194. His QQ prevails over Acesover8s JJ. Vinny survives again!

Hand 196 I get AK again. Aces raises the 300 bb to 1050. I pot reraise to 3600. Aces calls me. The final board is Qd 4c 7h 3c As. My AK prevails over Aces AJ. He goes out 13th and I go up to about 9400.

On hand 200 Whiskey and Vinny bet it up to 1800 BTF. Flop is 2h Js 5h. They get all-in on the flop. A deuce hits the turn and an ace on the river. Whiskey's AK takes a nosedive and Vinny's AJ takes the pot. Whiskey doubled back up from a very small stack on hand 205.

On hand 208 vehn raised triple the blind to 900. I had JJ on the button and potted it to 3150. He folded.

Hand 211 saw Whiskey out 12th. Nottom's KQ beat Whiskey's QJ on a no pair board.

Sawil got the distinctly unlucky title of bubble boy.

On to the final table...

Seat 1: Catfish4U (8698 in chips)
Seat 2: nottom (6986 in chips)
Seat 3: C.M. Burns (21857 in chips)
Seat 4: VinnyTheFish (10030 in chips)
Seat 5: vehn_ (3330 in chips)
Seat 6: moshimoshi (21156 in chips)
Seat 7: LondonBroil (5196 in chips)
Seat 8: SteelBallsD (9272 in chips)
Seat 9: lorinda (6475 in chips)

I stole the blinds once with AQ. On hand 229 I got AK. moshimoshi made it 1400 and I made it 4600. He sent his hand on a one way ticket to mucksville.

The final table was playing very tightly, with few flops. Steal the blinds, steal the blinds.... That all changed on hand 233. Vehn made it 1200 and got looked up by Vinny. The flop was J 7 3 with two hearts. Vehn bet it all, 1330, and Vinny called. A six and a deuce were not enough for vehn, as his Qs5s was no match for Vinny's pair of sevens. Granny Mae sends vehn on a one way ticket to railsville in ninth place.

Hand 241 saw me with big slick once again. I popped the 400 bb to 1400. Nottom popped me 2600 better, making it 4000 to go. I pushed in my remaining 7272 chips, all-in. Nottom released his hand.

Hand 244 I stole the blinds again with AQ. I was up to 16472.

Hand 250 saw the blinds at 300-600. Nottom made it 2100 to go and got looked up by moshimoshi. Flop was J Q 3 rainbow. Nottom bet his last 2400 or so and got called. Moshi's JT hit two pair on the river. He didn't need it tho as nottom only had A3 anyway. Nottom 8th.

Hand 254 is Lorinda's last hand, she takes 7th. She makes it 1800 and Catfish4U makes it 5400, she calls. Lori's A2 fails to beat Cat's 99.

On hand 257 Moshi and Burnsie get all-in before the flop. Moshi had bursie covered, but is down to 9000 or so. Burnsie now has a commanding lead with 36514.

Burns and LondonBroil get all-in before the flop the very next hand. Burns loses tho to QQ vs AQ, London's QQ holds up.

There is only one flop from hand 258 to hand 272, and it was a small, no showdown pot. All blind stealing, with the occasional re-steal, fold. But London and Moshi get all-in BTF on this hand. Moshi had raised to 2100, and London reraised to 7200. Moshi went all-in for 4485 more. London basically knew he was screwed, but the pot was so big, he called anyway. 4d 9s 6c 5d Td winds up being the final board. London's Tc9c beat Moshi's AT for the three outer express. Moshi takes 6th and London has a huge stack now, almost 31000. Poor london will probably get roasted for this one!

Hand 274 shows me big slick. I popped it to 2100 and london re-popped it to 6600. I went all in for my last 11372 and he called me. The board was eight high rags and my AK prevailed over his ATs. I now had 36244 in chips. London made a desperation play a few hands later with pocket 44, but Burnsie's Q6o hit a six and London took 5th place.

On hand 286 I tried to steal but got looked up by Catfish. I had 34000 and he had 21000. I had Q8 and the flop was J 9 5r. I checked, he bet 1600, and I called. I called because we both had big stacks, and I thought I might be able to bust him if I caught the str8, and might win the pot with a queen. The turn sucked eggs tho, no help, and I folded when he bet again.

Well Vinny had been scraping along with a pretty small stack, and on hand 287 he got all-in three way against Catfish and Burns. It was A8 vs AT vs AQ and Vinny's AQ wins when no one paired. Vinny triples to about 8000.

Hand 289 was another pivotal hand for Vinny. He raised and got called by Burns. Flop was Q T 8 rainbow. Vin bet the rest of his chips, about 5000. Burns called. Turn seven, river J. Burnsie's QT two pair goes down in flames to Vinny's runner-runner str8 with pocket nines! Suckout city!

Hand 296 was a biggie. Cat and Vinny got into a pot after Cat called Vinny's min raise preflop. The flop had two jacks and Cat bet 3600, vin called. Turn was a deuce, Cat bet 2400, Vin went all-in for 10560 more and got called. Cat barely covered Vin. The river was a six, completing the flush. Cat's KJ goes down in flames to Vinny's Ace high flush.

Catfish goes out 4th on hand 297. Vinny raised to 2400, triple the blind. Burns called. Cat was almost dead now, all-in on the blind. He did not live through the rather uneventful pot that followed, getting knocked out by Vinny.

Vinny took a bunch of chips off Burnsie's hands on hand 314. Vinny limped on the button and I called in the SB with 22. Burns pot raised and vinny called but I folded. Flop was K T 2 ARRRRRRRRGH!!!!!!!!!!!! Burns bets the flop for 6400 and Vinny pushes out another 24000, burns folds. SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET I would have like that flop!

Chip standing at this point:

Seat 3: C.M. Burns (12150 in chips)
Seat 4: VinnyTheFish (48106 in chips)
Seat 8: SteelBallsD (32744 in chips)

On hand 320 I went for the steal with Th8h. CM looked me up. The flop was Q high all clubs. I bet out 4800 and CM folded.

Hand 338 - Battle of the Titans! Ace high!

Vinny raised to 4200. I was dealt AQ and potted it up to 13800, he called. The flop was 452 rainbow. I bet my entire stack, 20744. It had to be tough, but Vinny laid it down. Later I think Vinny said he had AT. My heart was POUNDING!!!!! That gave me about 50,000 chips with CM about 15000 and Vinny about 25000 or so.

On hand 352 Vinny min raised me and I called with Q6s. Flop was Q 6 2. He bet 1200 and I called. The turn was a duece, putting a two flush on board. He checked, I bet 7200, he called. River Jc. We both checked. My hand was good.

Hand 357 was a tough beat for me. I had KK and raised, CM reraised me all-in for about 9000 total. The flop was ten high but he rivered a flush and took a bunch of chips off my hands.

Hand 367 was another setback. Vinny had raised and I called with 98s. Flop was 8 4 2 rainbow. He bet 7200 and I raised to 28800, he called. His JJ held up and my stack went DOWN.

Standings after that hand:

Seat 3: C.M. Burns (17700 in chips)
Seat 4: VinnyTheFish (41012 in chips)
Seat 8: SteelBallsD (34288 in chips)

On hand 373 I got lucky again. I had QhJh. Burns raised and I reraised to 11400, he called. The flop was all rags, five high. I bet all-in and burns called, I had him slightly covered. HE had A4 and had flopped a pair of fours. But once again, the poker gods favored me, and I caught a jack on the river to knock Burnsie out 3rd.

The final hand...

Seat 4: VinnyTheFish (42212 in chips)
Seat 8: SteelBallsD (50788 in chips)

Vinny raised my BB to 4000. I had AA and raised back to 8000, he called. The flop was K J Q rainbow. I bet 16000 and he raised me all-in, I called. My AA won over his K8s.

Thus, Champion of the KOTZ pot limit hold'em, ME!!!!!! YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!

A fantastic match, very tough. I sucked out a few times, but you know, EVERY dog has their day, and this one belonged to me.

Plus I think I'll put a bounty on someone's ugly ass from the euro-magoo team! We'll see who that will be by the trash talking to follow!

Who wants in for a last longer bet?

Here's a proposition bet for ya... If you can knock ME out with a deuce in your hand, I'll pay you ten bucks!

If you can knock TPerkin with a deuce in your hand, I'll pay you $15!

All these are in addition to anything else that gets propositioned!

As I said, make your offers now!

I know you Americans are doing what you can to keep me out of this one by scheduling the event during the weekend, when it is difficult for me to come and kick your butts (especially yours), but should you come to reason and play a week day (still with the cowardly advantage of playing during what is the middle of the night for us, but hey, we are used to it as we stay late up to catch the many americans fishes online), I'll be delighted to engage in any sort of LL bet you can afford. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

I am all for playing on a weekday at a time that is good for the euro-trash types.

The professional poker player set will have to accomodate those who really work for a living and can't usually stay up all night.

I am reminded of one of our members recently who when asked if he had a real job answered "Of course I have a real job, I play poker 40 hours a week."

Doc

[William]

Doc, are you imlpying that playing poker 40 hours a week is not a real job?

I can assure you and the other "working for a living people" that when I go to bed, whenever that is /images/graemlins/grin.gif, after playing poker, taking care of my home, driving my kids to their different sports activities and the many other things a normal day demands (things which by the way have to be done during "daylight") I am just as tired (or probably more) than anybody who's been sitting in an office from 9 to 5 (but that's ok, as I make considerably more than what they do as well).

These are just excuses to keep me away from the battlefield /images/graemlins/grin.gif

It is apparent that the majority prefer a Saturday tournament for this event, but that we could draw reasonable participation for a future event on Sunday afternoon or early Friday evening. The time preference for the weekend is evenly split between 2PM and 4PM so we settled on 3PM EDT. A Friday or other weekday game might deserve a little more discussion as the EU contingent understandably prefers 4 to 6 PM while the NA folks pretty strongly prefer 8pm. Maybe we could negotiate for a future event on a Friday night.

After discussing this with the team captains and in part out of deference to Poker Stars who have kindly offered to support this event, therefore the feeling that we need maximum participation, the event will be Saturday afternoon as shown above.

Apologies to those who cannot play on this date, we will try to have a future event on a different day of the week to accommodate all who want to play.

We wish to thank Todd Discenza and Poker Stars for helping us make this a first class event. Now, we need to get the word out, get registered, and get a whole lot of our friends to come play in the tournament to repay Poker Stars for their courtesy.

For those that are interested, here is how the team scoring is calculated:

Scoring system for 2+2 North America vs Europe Challenge #2
(adapted from the weighted two team scoring system by Mike Haven. Thanks Mike.)

This scoring system balances points for placement in the tournament and number of players in a 2 team tournament where the teams have different numbers of players. Bringing lots of friends to the tournament is rewarded, but placing well is rewarded more.

Team points calculation:
NA = pyd/(yd+xe) North American Weighted Final Score
EU = pxe/(yd+xe) European Weighted Final Score

where:
NA = weighted final score of team North America
EU = weighted final score of team Europe
p = total available points
x = number of players in team NA
y = number of players in team EU
d = actual cumulative score of team NA
e = actual cumulative score of team EU
t = total number of players

CHECKS:
NA+EU= p
d + e= p
t = x + y

PLACE POINTS (for a game with t players)
1st = t points
2nd = t-1 points
3rd = t-2 points
…
last = 1 point

FINAL TABLE BONUS POINTS:
1st 20
2nd 16
3rd 14
4th 12
5th 10
6th 8
7th 6
8th 4
9th 2

TOTAL INDIVIDUAL POINTS (if there are 50 players),
1st = 50 + 20 = 70pts
2nd = 49 + 16 = 65pts
50th = 1pt

Codewarrior and Tim will check my spreadsheet before final Team Points are announced.

And any others that have been around long enough to have Pooh-Bah, Carpal \'Tunnel, or old hand behind thier names, as well as all the ones that have played in the 2+2 SNG games since January.

This tournament is open to all 2+2 posters including the new ones ID'ed only as "stranger", but we certainly would like to have the experienced players join us.

As much as I'd like to, I can barely stand playing online anymore. I never liked it in the first place, but now that I've moved closer to a cardroom, it is abominable to me.

OK Folks,

This is my last chance to get you interested in tomorrow’s tournament. I’ve tried PM’s, e-mails, etc probably till I have made myself a pest.

I got Todd Discenza of Poker Stars to put us up some great prizes (Thanks Todd).

I have completely run out of cute posts…

Everybody is invited from newbies to the Pooh Bahs listed in my last post.

Tournament starts at 3PM EDT tomorrow. I will send passwords up to the last minute if you e-mail me at DrPhysic@satx.rr.com.

We have 87 people who have asked for the password, and 35 registered on Poker Stars. More by tomorrow. It should be a super event. All the regulars and 42 people that are new to our 2+2 SNG group will be there.

Get your side bets placed. The game is on!
