2+2 game for Friday

[soah]

Based upon the replies from my last thread...

On Friday (today) at 9 PM eastern I will sit down at an empty $5 table and an empty $25 table at Pokerstars. (In case you missed the previous thread... the $5 tables offer 250x stacks rather than 100x. Only play the $5 table if you're willing to treat the game seriously despite the lack of money involved.) I'm assuming we will have a pretty good turnout again, so once those have filled up we can begin taking over more tables as necessary. We will probably need a couple of people to play two tables, but when someone new shows up asking for a seat, you must give up one of yours. Prior to standing up from a table, make sure that we have another 2+2er on the waiting list to avoid ackward problems with fish unwittingly joining us.

Last week Matt was hoping that we could have a "moderator" or "host" at each table to lead the discussion of the hands which were played. This didn't really happen, but hopefully we can do a bit better this time. If you have spent lots of time playing against tough competition and feel that you could do a good job of critiquing people's play of specific hands, please PM me or post a reply about it here. We ask that everyone show their cards at the end of each hand in order to facilitate this discussion.

I will be posting a second thread regarding a game on Saturday.

I'm interested in this. Unless I'm out with my FRIENDS. I DO HAVE FRIENDS. GEEZ. I bet I have more friends than many of you on here. I have at least 20. I got so many friends that I can't really count them all. I also drink a lot of beer. FREE BEER. How many of you get your beer for free ? Yeah that's what I thought. I get supplied free beer. Ok, I'm interested in this and I will play if I'm not drunk that night.

[lapoker17]

Awesome.

[Jay36489]

If you can't count them all then where did the number 20 come from?

[mythrilfox]

What is your name on pokerstars? How do we locate this table?

[BradleyT]

What is awkward about a fish joining the table? That's more real-world than a table of 10 2+2'ers who fold around to the button 40% of hands.

[amoeba]

dah, not enough time for me to deposit at stars.

anybody want to transfer me like $25?

I'll transfer to you on party same amount.

[CCass]

I will try to play tonight. My screen-name on Stars is CCass.

I don't consider myself an expert by any stretch of the imagination, as my normal game is the $1/2 NL on Stars, but I would be glad to "lead" the discussion at one of the tables.

Also, everyone needs to show their hole cards at the end of the hand. We are doing this to learn and get better (hopefully).

[amoeba]

$1/2 on stars is pretty good.

[wbrumfiel]

Is it $5 buy in or $5BB? I could go for a $5 buy-in lesson /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[amoeba]

lol no, it won't be $5 BB.

it will either be $5 buyin or maybe $25 buy in.

I think its yet to be decided.

I figured as much but someone has to ask the stupid questions to make sure before I go depositing money at stars. Like was said in the other thread, if this was at UB I'd definately play but heres hoping i have enough time to deposit to stars

[JFB37]

Can you just show up or is anything else required?

[edge]

I'm not sure I will be able to make it this time. I may have to play some +EV poker to fund a new computer (this one is falling apart very quickly).

[Benal]

I'd be up for it, but I havent played on Stars for over a year. Hence no $$$.

[DrPublo]

Same here. If someone wants to transfer me $25 on Stars, I'll transfer back on Party or Empire. Please PM me if intersted.

The Doc

[BradleyT]

Party/Empire min transfer is $50.

[amoeba]

we can do 50 on stars for 50 on party.

The problem is, alot of times don't sites not allow you to play with somebody who's transferred money to you?

[Wayfare]

Ban evasion is a bannable offense!

[soah]

I am soah2 on Stars. You have your choice of playing the $5 buy-in or the $25 buy-in table as there was quite a bit of interest in each of them. I will post here when I've sat down at the tables and we can go from there.

[Kaz The Original]

I have played with people I transferred money to with no ill affect on stars.

[kongo_totte]

How long will it take for a Visa deposit to clear?

Never mind, it took like a sec. Count me in at 9 PM, my screen name is kris_bjork.

[JoeC]

Count me in. I just made a massive cashout on Stars though and all I have left is $4.77. I hope that lasts me.

[kongo_totte]

Just to make sure, it's 8:40 PM Eastern right now right

[Zoltri]

Watch your back boys. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[edge]

My clock shows 8:48, but yeah, close enough.

[soah]

I'll be starting in ~8 minutes. Right now I'm practicing flopping the nuts at a $25 PLO table at Party. Next I have to work on realizing that I've flopped the nuts before I auto-check and give the whole table a free card.

[soah]

.01/.02 table Reginita
.10/.25 table Istria II <-- edit to change this

sit out until we're ready to start

once those tables fill we can take over others
