HULA Week 1 Thread - Fixtures, Results, etc

[Sheriff Fatman]

To all HULA players

Last season we had a system of announcing match times to hopefully avoid clashes on the site. I assume we will be doing something similar this time around.

Having arranged my first fixture I'll set the ball rolling here:

Sheriff Fatman vs Schneids - 7pm ET, Thursday 23 September.

Out of courtesy to the other users of this forum I suggest that we use a single thread for all issues relating to individual game weeks (fixtures, results, complaints, etc). Please therefore post any HULA Week 1 business as responses to this thread.

Sheriff

[gonores]

We can make this the official week 1 thread.

However, please note we can't really play yet, since the invite list is not complete. Please get your damn accounts open and alert your captains so that we can finalize the invite list.

J.R. and I are scheduling our match for 8:00 pm Pacific time, tentatively. Let us know if that's a problem...

[bugstud]

Filip and I will be fighting the good fight probably in the next 36 hours if possible

[daryn]

is there a schedule somewhere? i haven't been able to desposit to TPC yet, but should be able to within the next few days.

[thomastem]

Because of travel (Reno) this week and a daughter with a B-Day I have requested of my opponent to play our match tonight. If there is a way to get the Hula rooms rolling this evening please do what you can.

After this week I'll be like a $2 Ho.

[Schneids]

BTW, I'm pretty sure my team's name is going to be "Diablo Sucks."

Nottom is victorious. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

I was having flashbacks to a couple matches last season where I took a huge lead early and couldn't hold on as GoT came back from a 3-1 chiplead time and time again to even it up. Even when I had him under 100 he just wouldn't go away and kept hanging around. Finally had to smash him with a nice beat as my mighty 59s flopped trip 9s against his TT.

[bugstud]

so where are these anyway? I am not seeing them

[ctv1116]

Where are the schedules? How do we know who we are supposed to play?

[bugstud]

if Filip wants to get ours started, starting it would be good.

EDIT: Apparently I can't chat or join

[jfresh]

TimM - let me know when you can play a match... I'll PM you sometime but if you check here let me know.

[PokerNoob]

Contact live support and they should be able to set you up.'

Edit: This may not work until the commish has submitted your name....

[Nottom]

Your captain should let you know.

[Nottom]

Are we going to have a spiffy website like last time for results and stuff?

[bugstud]

on the phone with them now, hopefully I get on this invitee list soon

[PokerNoob]

Filip is at the table. Post here if it looks like support can't get you in, and I'll let him know.

[bugstud]

Yeah, I've been seeing you relaying the posts, I've been PM'ing as well

He said he'd do it and hung up, so maybe he needed to watch some porn or something.

[bugstud]

match is on

[Nick B.]

Has anybody else had the problem where it says it is not a valid win32 application. I can't seem to get TPC installed which could lead to a problem. PM me, or reply here, thanks.

[bugstud]

filip refuses to die

[Tosh]

Its up to Fudgenut I think as he is home captain for our first match.

[bugstud]

Filip succumbs in a 90 min grueling slugfest. Each have one another on the ropes at some point in the match.

TheGrifter - I am available any time after 7:30pm EST durring the week (Thursday is probably bad until 8 or 9 this week). I would like to paly before 12:00 or 1:00am if possible. Post or PM me when you want to play.

BTW I think I need invited to HULA still. Login is "fnord"

Also, Pokerclub sucks. I've already had two problems with them (problems on their end) and I'm not even in the league yet. Where do we pay?

[Rugbyrat]

fnord,

You should deposit $50 into your TPC account. It will be deducted from there.

Rugbyrat

[fnord_too]

I have $100 in my PokerClub account, do I need to talk to support? What are the mechanics of this whole thing?

[Rugbyrat]

Here's a link to the schedule. Also, gonores' reply explains how your opponents are selected. If you don't know who you are playing, you should contact your captain ASAP.

I ousted Cup in a great match(if I do say so myself!). Characterized by extremely aggressive play, we went back and forth for over an hour -- seeing him be all in, to me all in with a 60-40 preflop -- to his eventualy busting of AJ vs. JJ. Great match, my most fun and challenging match yet /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Jimbobobb]

Dov and I have ours scheduled for friday night around 22:00 est

Nikla vs. Lars® today at 7pm EST.

Come and watch the battle of the Norwegians /images/graemlins/cool.gif

Edit: Messed up the time.

[Nikla]

I came out on top after a hard fought all norwegian battle that lasted 241 hands. Lars started out very strong and had a 500 chiplead. Fortunately for me I got lucky to crack his aces with my turned 2 pair and get back in the game. From this point on the lead was in constant flux until the game shifted in my direction after afew key hands.
Last hand he held QT vs my J9 on a QJT flop and I spiked the jack on turn.

Good game Lars.

[ddubois]

What venue do these occur (i.e. is sweating possible?), and is anyone providing blocks of hand histories for their matchup?

[MEbenhoe]

OK what the hell. I could get on the tables earlier today and now I can't. I kinda need to figure out what's going on here because me and thepoppinE are scheduled to throw down at 9 EST tomorrow.

[Schneids]

thepokerclub.com

You can download it if you wish to and then you look in the tournament tab (single table), and scroll towards the bottom... You'll see something like "HULA 6."

TPC does not have hand histories so I doubt that you'll see any extensive blocks of hands.

[Rugbyrat]

Has the $50 been removed from your TPC account? If not, let me know and we will get that fixed ASAP.

Or, you can also contact TPC's customer service (who are pretty good at fixing problems). I'm sure customer service can straighten out the problem rather quickly.

If you still have problems, let me know and I will get involved.

Thanks,

Having the same problem here. Maybe it has to do with the table number? I can't sit at HULA 6. $50 is gone though and i was able to sit at I think it was HULA 4 earlier.

[gonores]

Update.....

The reason some players could sit at the HULA tables, even though no money was taken from their accounts, is that the invite list for HULA I was never cleared. Therefore, HULA vets could sit. In order to put the invite list together for HULA II, I guess they cleared the list for HULA I. That means it may take a few hours of doowntime until any given player can get back on the tables. FWIW, I was able to play an exhibition at 1030pm central last night.

I guess this is my fault for starting the season so early. I thought 144 hours would have been long enough to get people to open an account, drop money into it, and alert the powers that be to their status. Live and learn, I guess.

Thomastem will be unavailable until Friday night at the earliest. Extenuating circumstances. I do believe Doug is aware and I am hopeful extra time will be awarded for your match because of the difficulties in getting the league started up Monday, when TT was ready to go...

I don't mind waiting until he is available. It's no matter to me whether he kicks my ass today, or waits until next week.

Well as of right now I can sit at the tables, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. If its still working tonight look for me vs ThepoppinE at 9 EST.

As per typical HU matches for me, I am trailing 7 minutes in.

Schneids did lay a beating on me. See-saw match, took about 35 minutes and 127 hands.

Had an early lead and got to around 900 then the tide turned. Lost with AJ vs A5 to get us back even and never saw the lead again.

After that I got outplayed and outflopped. Busted with an OESD which didn't hit.

Well played Schneids - good game.

PS: Rugby - you ain't close enough to me to be considered rival material /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Edit
PPS: Team - we're 0-2 now so no pressure on the rest of you! /images/graemlins/frown.gif

PPPS: I also doubt I'll see better starting hands in the rest of HULA than I did in the first 15 minutes. AA, KK, QQ 3 times, AKs, etc. Only problem is only one of them ever reached a flop. How much for the pattern map Schneids?

I have to admit I got a lot of good hands early on and took a big chip lead and then used it to take down the rest of his stack. Good game poppin!

It was fun playing with you Sarge, but I lost so that Sheriff Fatman would feel better about his own loss earlier today.

Thats why we pulled out our closer sfer for that match. Hes got the skills and the motivation to go all the way. By the end of the match you will bow down and call him your master. Afterwards you will finally relinquish the idea of calling that silly game with a round ball that you actually play with your feet football, and learn that baseball is far superior to cricket.

I joined a HULA table, but there's no button on the chairs, so I can't sit down. I assume the people at thepokerclub didn't give me permission to sit down at HULA tables. Whoever's working with thepokerclub, my sn is ctv1116 and I need to get access to the HULA tables.

Nice match noob.

Yep, great match. We both played pretty tight, which cut down on the "utterly dominated yet I'll bet to the river with ace high" hands. I can't seem to get hand histories/stats from pokerrroom, but we went a bit into the 2nd round.

I won my match against edtost.

[Aces McGee]

balkii defeats Aces McGee in a 1 hr, 24 min match that, if I read the thing correctly, featured something like 476 hands.

balkii took an early lead before McGee battled back. Suckouts evened out, I think, although Balkii had at least one and I think two flush over flush hands that killed me.

balkii was actually all in at one point, on a board of JTxJx against my KT.

Not a bad time to hit quads, although I'd say the final hand of the WSOP or maybe the 30/60 at the Bellagio would be a better time.

Well played, balkii, much respect.

bison and Joe826 had their first round match. Joe won in 214 hands, after both of us had managed to get < 50 and come back to about even. I have a lot to learn.

[Jimbobobb]

Jim goes down to DOV in a really enjoyable, flip flop match. Much river whorage was enjoyed by all. Jim was all in on at least 6 occassions before taking a chip lead. Turning had was most likely Jim's 79 vs. DOV's K5 on 7 9 K board, with Turn J and river J. We *almost* made it to the second blind escelation :-)

[Dov]

After taking an early lead, and having Jimbo all in within the first 20 minutes, I found myself shortstacked at the end of the first round. Jimbo put up a very good fight, but finally succumbed near the middle of round 3.

I think this site is rigged for the short stack. (I may start a new thread on this later)

We had more rivers than could be counted, and I held 72, 73, 74, 82, 83, 84, etc. (nothing higher than an 8) for at least 25% of my hands. (That's my line and I'm sticking to it, until someone can get me HH's /images/graemlins/cool.gif)

Good Game Jimbobobb. It was a pleasure playing with a thinking player for a change. It makes bluffing so much easier. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

We're going to win this thing.

i actually thought you played well bison, but there's a good chance that's just because i suck too. fortunately i'm blessed with the ability to suck out when my stack gets low. good game.

After I nearly knocked you out, I think I started giving an insane amount of action just as you found your footing. Bad idea, bad timing, non-surprising outcome. Good game.

[nolanfan34]

J.R. vs. Nolanfan34, coming up here at 10 AM pacific time, 11 mountain.

[Fudgenut]

Fudgenut over Trix, 71 hands. I think that puts the team score at 2-2.

[nolanfan34]

Nolanfan34 defeats J.R., in a one hour match of over 300 hands.

After being down to 350 early, I scratched back to even and then took a big lead as the deck hit me in the face. Two flopped flushes and one flopped straight crushed J.R.'s spirit and will to live.

Seriously though, it was a tough match, as he came back from 150 a couple of times. Final hand we got all-in with my 99 vs. his AJs, flop came JT7, turn 7, river 8, and I stood up and yelled "DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" with the rivered straight.

I also apparently showed an incredible knack for laying down PF when he had KK and QQ. Pattern map was worth every penny.

[TimM]

I am scheduled to play JFresh shortly (he said between 2-3 eastern).

Fudgenut over Trix, 71 hands. I think that puts the team score at 2-2.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well done el capitán. Huge victory. Now hopefully sfer can close the deal for us.

[Tosh]

Crap. I needed Trix to finish the tie off and let me forfeit. Sfer lets make it a quick match either way, hmm'kay?

[sfer]

The $50 I put into the account is gone. Is that right?

[nolanfan34]

Yes. Get there early to make sure you can access the tables though. I had some problems with that. Use the live support function if you have a problem. Works really well.

[Joe826]

does anyone else have any problems with the software being particularly laggy at times? every so often it will just freeze up between hands for about a minute and then when it "catches up", it ends up selecting my auto-fold button and folding 5-6 of my hands before it lets me play again. i thought i was just lagging, but my browser and email and everything else are fine when it does this. i talked to support and they told me to turn winamp off and reboot. hahaha.

Dana fixed my table problem, <font color="white">and i used the 12.50 in bonus money to bribe her to turn on the "make more sets, straights and flushes" switch for me,</font>
which allowed me to edge out jfresh in a tough match.

Edit: Good luck to BigBaitsim (milo), our third newbie ringer! No pressure now... /images/graemlins/wink.gif

I had a similar problem. When the action froze, i typed something in chat and it didn't appear, so I closed the software and restarted. When i got back in, I manually went to my table and got back on. But then a message asking if I wanted to rejoin a game in progress appeared, which I couldn't get rid of. I tried clicking no, then yes, and it froze me out again. One more restart, and this time i let the popup message take me to the table, and all was well after that.

[Tosh]

Mine is still not done, where is the live support?

Yeah I saw that post half an hour a go and as I say there is no live support link when I follow the page.

[sfer]

Turn off your pop-up blocker.

[Tosh]

They're doing it now, I'll been on hold since.

[Sheriff Fatman]

Great job TimM and nolanfan34 in pulling our match back to 2-2!

Lets hope for a rookie hat-trick when bigbaitsim's delayed match with Thomastem takes place.

If its not done by tomorrow evening (Sunday), I'll take care of it.

BTW, is anyone developing a website? I have no idea how to do it, but I'll give it a try if no one else can.

Ok seeing as I have a crap load to do and want to delay for as long as possible here goes.

[BigBaitsim (milo)]

Thomastem and I have been unable to hook up for a game. We were scheduled for a game Friday night, which I had to cancel as I was curled in a ball on my bathroom floor, trying to decide if I should sit or kneel, as my GI tract emptied itself as rapidly as possible through any available exit.

I am (mostly) better and hope we can get in the match soon. Is there an absolute deadline?

BTW, if a friend ever calls you up and says, "my four-month-old has been sick all day, and I really need to get into the office to answer my email. Can you watch him for 15 minutes?" SAY "NO!"

[Rugbyrat]

I believe that the deadline is midnight tonight (Sunday). I will confirm and post as soon as I have the definite answer. Until you hear otherwise, assume the midnight tonight deadline is correct.

We encourage everyone to schedule matches ASAP to avoid rushing and trying to get your weekly match-up completed by the deadline.

Doug told me last week that ultimately week 1 matches will be allowed to go longer due to some peoples' difficulties in getting started by Monday, in example, that TT and Milo will be allowed to still complete this match this week.

[Rugbyrat]

Thanks for the info, Schneids. I PM'ed gonores to confirm what you have said. But, everyone be warned. If you play after midnight tonight, your match may not count, depending on how gonores responds.

[BigBaitsim (milo)]

I would appreciate the extra time. TT was out of town until Friday, and I was out of commission Friday. I've been unable to reach him by PM since.

This would seem to be the sensible option, assuming they can play relatively quickly this week, as the tables weren't available for the full week. If its unlikely to happen in the next couple of days then perhaps we should get the subs involved where necessary.

[gonores]

Week 1 will be extended until Teusday night, midnight. This will be the cutoff time for subsequent weeks.

Captains, please contact your subs to make sure their accounts are open and ready to go.

Trix V. Jim in t minus 20mins

[BigBaitsim (milo)]

When my Redskins have taken firm control of the game tonight (which should happen midway through the second quarter), turn off the game and tune in to sweat TT or me at the HULA table, 10:30 tonight.

Oh, and tune in fast, because the match is gonna be short (sorry Sheriff, I never said I was any good).

[Nottom]

This would be a topic for the Week 2 thread.

Come on, have some confidence! Us HULA rookies are coming through this week. Hopefully TT's critters will distract him, giving you the opening that you need!

P.S. - when's the week two schedule coming out?

Good luck - I'll be there in spirit!

PS: If all else fails, attempt to confuse TT by referring to him as each one of his 2+2 ID's in turn. That should keep you going for an hour or two /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Match with Big starting any minute (as soon as he arrives) with a 2-2 tie this is the rubber match.

[thomastem]

Critters lose in 3 minutes and 27 seconds. I'm good. /images/graemlins/confused.gif

[BigBaitsim (milo)]

58 hands. 18 minutes. Horseshoe shoved up my ass the whole time.

Final hand was typical.

Big with AKs vs TT with 94o.

Big completes from button. TT checks.

Flop 789r. TT bets, Big calls.

Turn 7. TT bets, Big calls.

River K. TT bets all-in. Big calls.

TT played well, but never had the cards his way. My W@SD was an insane 79%. AA vs. JJ and that sort of thing.

[Sheriff Fatman]

AWESOME STUFF!!!

So after losing their first two games, the 3 HULA newcomers in my team all win to complete an improbable victory.

Keep that horseshoe where it is Milo!!

I pick goot /images/graemlins/grin.gif
