Making my online debut

[SossMan]

I took 2nd in the 2+2 fantasy football league and thought I would take my $72 winnings and try this online poker thing you guys are talking about.

Wish me luck. My goal is to turn the $72 into a WSOP seat. Too lofty?

Finally dived in eh?

What kept you from internet poker?

I'm interested to hear your views on the difference.

edit: p.s. great avatar on stars

[fnord_too]

Coincidentally, I opened a stars account today too. Missed the window for a limit tourney I was looking at joining :/.

Login fnords, not sure if I am going to wait until the new year to start playing there though, easier to wait from an accounting perspective so I probably will. Bout time you made in on line you techno-phobe!

[SossMan]

went down in a blaze of limp reraising glory...aparently AQ is a calling hand now...who knew.

[woodguy]

I try not to bluff too much on line as you will get called way more often.

I think it has something to do with not having to look you in the eye after the hand.

As I was typing this, I represented the flush on the turn (holding an OESD) and got busted by TPMK in a Step 3 ($200 entry fee) /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Physician heal thyself.

still in the rebuy...just double up to 25k w/ 100/200 blinds plus antes

about 15th place out of 400 or so left...

[SossMan]

2nd in chips w/ 320 or so left.

tripled up w/ AKs all in vs. AQo, 99 and TT...flopped a K.


am getting berated for calling a short stack's all in w/ QJs getting nearly 3:1...lol, i played along.

[Jurollo]

soss is your screen name the same on ps?

EDIT: nevermind, i need to start actually reading posts above the one I make... god i am stupid /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[SossMan]

now chip leader by a large margin...hey, this is easy!

<start downfall>

[SossMan]

at the third break...had a two outer cost me a 30k pot..oh well. in 25th place with about 120 players left...81 get paid. blinds will be 1500/3k w/ 150 antes.
I have 67k left.

little closer than I wanted, but we'll see if I can't double up here...

oh, no sets, no AA, no KK, one QQ (early double up), no JJ and a [censored] load of AJs type hands...greeeeaatt....

its rigged, i tell ya!

[nolanfan34]

So, since I donated to the 2+2 league, I have like what, 8% of your backing in this thing? Keep it up, you're going to be hooked now.

Rigged so you'd lose every coin flip.

Nice work though, I know the PS MTT guys here probably aren't excited to have another 2+2er to contend with.

[fnord_too]

So where did you finish?

[SossMan]

53rd. lost a few coin flips.
