*Official* Stars 500k Guarenteed Sunday

[TheTimeIsUp]

I'm in. Just donating since I won 3 qualifiers, heh heh. Who else is in?

[Enon]

My first big Stars tourney.

I usually just play Party Tourneys but I easily won a spot through one of the $20 rebuy qualifiers.

Name: Enon

[Tyler Durden]

This is my first of these also. Let's get some brown trouters at the final table! Maybe I could be one?

[TripleQ]

I'm in.. my first $500 PS tourney.

[Tyler Durden]

I'm on table 163. Teecoy is two to my right. Should be interesting.

[TheTimeIsUp]

Table 42, glad to see we start with 2.5k chips though!

[MrX]

HEY!!! I only started with 2000 chips!!!

actually the 1st hand big bland hit me on the flop..but hit someone else on the river..glad I only lost 500.

MrXrayMan table 80.

[TheTimeIsUp]

Glad to see you playin aggressive at Teecoy!

[mntbikr15]

Im in, hoping for a repeat performance of last wk. /images/graemlins/smirk.gif

GL all

[ADGator]

i am in, slow start, but i am liking the long rounds.

[Enon]

Anyone got a line on this player (Curzdog)?

[ugaistheteam]

I just got home, only lost 60.00 to blinds. Good Luck to all. Table 147......UGA

[TripleQ]

Table 67.. well, i was out in the 6th hand of the last Sunday tourney I played in so I've really improved my game so far!

[ugaistheteam]

Fast start for me, up to 7300, fifth in chips......

[Tyler Durden]

UGA, tell us some hands!

[ugaistheteam]

Had QQ stand vs 99, then same guy, Then my strong 77 took down AA, loved the turn. Same guy, he prolly never wants to see a UGA helment again.

[mntbikr15]

Name rings a bell, but I cant place it.

And I dont have PT, so sry

[Chief911]

I'm out. Just can't seem to ever get in a groove in these. AJ on an AAT flop. Bet hard, called by one guy who was capable of having any A. Turn a 4. I bet he calls. River a 2, I bet he sets me allin, but I have 400 left, so I call and see A4 take it down.

I know I'm not playing good poker in these, but just seems that I cannot get a thing going.

Sorry for the whine. Might have a few people review my HH's. Good luck all who are in!


Nick

[ugaistheteam]

Just flopped two pair from SB, J10, now at 9500, third chip position.

[Tyler Durden]

Good to see Scott Fischman is out already.

[Erdnase]

Yeah, sounds like a great plan...Lol.

See you there, mtnbikr!

Greets, Erd. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[sirio11]

Im with 4700 chips now, despite losing an all in KK vs AA

David

[MrX]

I am out and sort of feel a little like Chief.

MrX

[Tyler Durden]

t2225 at the break. no action w/ AA and QQ. maybe i can get things going this hour...

[TheTimeIsUp]

At T5905 at the first break. 3 Hands.
Hand 1 : I have AJ on the button, CO that has been stealing all day raises to 150 (blinds are 25/50) and I reraise to 450. Flop is JJ2, I check through the river where I throw out a 600 bet, and he calls with AQ. Over cards.
Hand 2 : I raise in MP to 175 (blinds are still 25/50) with 10 10, and the same LAG calls. The flop is 278, he pushes for about 900 and I call. He flips over 68, and doesn't improve.
Hand 3 : I have QQ in CO+1. I raise to 200 (Blinds are 25/50) Big fish who pulled out a miracle 2 outer on the river calls. Flop is 367, he pushes, and I call. He flips over 65 and doesn't improve.
Good start, but my fishy table just broke /images/graemlins/frown.gif , and this new one is all tight aggros, bah

[TripleQ]

2245 at the break.. stole some blinds, flop missed me completely for the most part.

[woodguy]

Good Luck All
Regards,
Woodguy

[mntbikr15]

Yea hopefully with a player that speaks.....

~T6500 at first break....

[ADGator]

4595 at the break

[woodguy]

N/M

[sirio11]

Im out KK vs AJ

[Che]

My self-analysis is that I was playing great, but I'm out 818th nonetheless.

Oh well, that's poker. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

Good luck to everyone else...

Che

[TheTimeIsUp]

I put him on AA, was this too weak???

I think Adgator played this really strangely. Why did you check on the turn? And what convinced you to call the river?

[TheTimeIsUp]

I'm out /images/graemlins/frown.gif

AQs vs AKs, I raised to 1k, bully behind me pushed me all in for 2.5k more, should I have mucked it? I feel terrible, was this the right play?

[Tyler Durden]

I'm out, loose fish limps UTG, I move in w/ AK from MP for 1800, he calls w/ AJ and flops top two.

I dunno what's worse, the suckout or the table breaking right after the hand so I couldn't even talk sh1t to him.

[mntbikr15]

Why raise to 1K? Were there limpers ahead of u? If not I raise to 450(3x BB and muck to a big reraise usually), that is without some sort of read otherwise.

Anyway curious about the 1K reraise, what was ur total stack prior?

[mntbikr15]

[TheTimeIsUp]

Gonna make a new thread bout it with answers + more questions

[ugaistheteam]

Im still here, 10k, break two

[mntbikr15]

UGH still in but down to 4K from 11K after some yahoo decides that since he read me to have nothing he was going to call my pot sized bets with a set to the river to catch his nine high gutshot....

I want that call every time, I want that call every time, I want that call every time, I want that call every time.AAHAHHH

[Whitey]

Also 10K at second break

Picked up AA 3 times and won a small pot each time /images/graemlins/frown.gif

better then losing

[ADGator]

have 6370, the hand v. moneymaker is interesting i dont like my line, i think i got lucky, but will take it, will probably talk about it more later. Chip Jett still at my table.

[TripleQ]

12K at second break, after sucking out goot. I should be at 4k.

[Whitey]

Very true /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

So far I've only shown 3 hands to the river,won two of em.

19 pots won without showdown,just the way I like it.

[DonkeyKong]

what is Chip Jetts screen name?

Wallfly is Allen Cunningham
Jacksup is Matt Matros, sitting to Laynes left (Layne is 'reload this')

[/ QUOTE ]

I've been trying to tell myself the same thing.

I pissed away some chips because I'm stupid, but the hand that put me out was my AA overbetting the pot all in on a JQ2 flop, and getting called by J4 who proceeds to turn the trip J.

I've been trying to tell myself that his call makes me money in the long run..........., but today I hate it. /images/graemlins/mad.gif

Regards,
Woodguy

[mntbikr15]

Well im out, something like 290th.

Gl to anyone still in

[ugaistheteam]

Had 17k, my QQ went down to 88, four flusher.....down to 4k, starting over......

[ADGator]

still in with 16,630 at the third break, got card cold and had to take a coin flip with my 77 v. AQ right toward the end of the hour and i held up

[Whitey]

down to 7k

intereting hand when i had 10k,guy raises utg to 1000 (blinds were 200/400)

I call with 66 and big stack also calls

Flop comes 752 rainbow

UTG checks i bet out 3k and the stack smooth calls!?

Ace on the turn and I check fold when he put me all in.

Cant imagine any hand I beat when he smooth calls the 3k bet. /images/graemlins/confused.gif

[youngin20]

This is why you dont call utg raises with 66

[Whitey]

UTG folded and I never fold a PP for 10% of my stack at that stage,unless the raiser is short stacked

[Whitey]

Well I got lucky BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGG time,guy limps in middle position,button raises and I move my shortish stack all in with A9o,hoping the button is stealing.However limper called with QQ and button had KK.

I flop trip 9s!! /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Now upto 29K good for 23rd place

[jayheaps]

hey biker, have you spent last weeks money yet?

[Whitey]

Anyone else left, 49K and in the money.21st place atm

[JJJ88]

I cannot find it from Stars' tourney list.
No running tourney at all.
Anything wrong at Stars?

[TheTimeIsUp]

All the tourneys are still runnin..

[phixxx]

Who's who? I know who Layne is, but I think Josh Arieh is still in along with a few other pros. Who should I watch?

[Tyler Durden]

Arieh is no longer in, but he's been chatting up a storm at Layne's table...Arieh is razorbax

[cwsiggy]

I think Josh cut some sort of weird deal with Layne - When he was still in, he said something like "... Hey Reload - 5%?? I'm at 15k. 7-5??"

Layne said Ok Anyone know what this is about?????

[Sponger15SB]

anyone watching the final table? there is some really crappy play going on.

[nolanfan34]

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm watching now. Tibirin is wielding the big stack, that's for sure. I'm guessing there must have not been a deal, because both guys that are still in seem determined to not be the one out in 3rd.

[Sponger15SB]

well things started to calm down where there were like 4-5 people left, but things got nuts for a while.

tib is definitely feeling lucky tonight though.

[TheTimeIsUp]

He absolutely ran over that final table. He came in the short stack, too.

[/ QUOTE ]

With about 180 to go, I was watching a table Tib was at, where he was all-in, covered by his opponent, and hit a two-outer on the river to stay alive. The table then made a bunch of comments about how he had been sucking out on the river for a while there. It wasn't the railbirds saying that either, it was the other players. Seems as though he had hit a few 2-outers when all-in before.

Someone even commented "Mr. Jones should just give you the money now". Wasn't there a nice "PS is rigged" thread going on in the Zoo a little while back? /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[/ QUOTE ]

If by ran over the table you mean played reasonably poorly and got lucky, then yes, I agree.

I think the guy who got 2nd played the best, letting everyone destroy each other with agression.

[TheTimeIsUp]

If you like near aroudn the final 4, 9/10 pots were won by him. I think that qualifies for running over the table.

As for teh guy that got 2nd, I think he played good also, and got lucky when he got caught bluffing with that 73o
