Actually, as we are the home team this time I think that we get to set the schedule, no? Though I personally think this should be a best-of-10 deal (tiebreak = captains play) in general, as I said in the other thread.

Why are you guys the home team? Werent we both 4-2? with us winning the head to head match? Or is that not how it was decided?

I like the best of 10 idea, but alot of poeple seem to have enough trouble playing the 1 match as it is...maybe for the championship?

Pretty sure in the playoffs you just play your counterparts, at least this is how it worked in the past, but then again the confusion is understandable as someone failed to mention this to you.

Ugh, sorry I forgot to make sure the home taems were right last nght cause I was exhausted while writing the post. I edited the sticky post to make NL Soldier's team home because they won the match with grisgra.

I know I stated earlier in the season that individual matches would be the tiebreaker but I didn't save my spreadsheet that had all of those last night and I really don't have the time to figure it out right now.

If anyone has a serious problem with this please let me know immediately. Otherwise I hope we can continue with NL Soldier being home team. Sorry about the confusion.

B Dids

09-14-2005, 06:58 PM

My only issue is that my counterpart and I have schedules that don't work. He's not in this country, I have a real job, etc... so if we can work something out there to switch, that would be awesome.

I would also ask not to play baronzeus again, as he clearly isn't a meaningfully challenge. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Well if I get Klepton again I hope we can play this time. I would really like to begin our match no later than midnight Eastern. Klepton is in California and I am in Toronto.

If there is a better match up timezone wise I would appreciate it.

Should we re-think our line up strategy? I just wwnt with what we did last time b/c we won, but with the absence does this change anything? If not, lmn55d will just play the sub, but if anyone has another idea please pm me soon.

sorry for losing 3 [censored] weeks in a row team, but not much you can do when the poker gods are having their way with you

gg tosh

Tosh

09-17-2005, 09:12 AM

I beat wheelz in what only can be described as a joke of a match. I hit runner runner, inside straight all over, just about everything I could hit, not a contest with that much luck.

Tosh

09-17-2005, 09:13 AM

Btw if there are anymore hula matches I will be back next Saturday, can't play the first couple of days in the week though.

tolbiny

09-17-2005, 10:57 AM

I don't see any reason to change anything. I PM'ed Stinkypete a coupld of days ago, but have not heard anything back from him.

fyodor

09-18-2005, 12:04 AM

Klepton it's midnight here but I will be up for at least another cpl hours. If you are around let me know and we can play.

fyodor

09-18-2005, 01:09 AM

Well a cpl hours was a bit of an exageration. I'm packing it in right now.

pm me or something with a time you will be available.

Klepton

09-18-2005, 02:03 PM

alright i got nothing to do all day today (sunday), call em up when you are ready, and i'll sit down before i get off the phone with you.

Lmn55d

09-18-2005, 02:42 PM

Lmn55d takes the win. Good match.

TomCollins

09-18-2005, 02:42 PM

I was outmatched in my game against LMND44 and got owned in under 20 minutes. The only hand I won was an ugly gutshot I hit on him.

Klepton

09-18-2005, 03:11 PM

i beat fyodor, it was a heated match

wheelz

09-18-2005, 03:19 PM

I think we should actually post in here before we play our matches now. People (at least I) might want to watch some.

fyodor

09-18-2005, 03:19 PM

Well it took him a while but Klepton got a handle on my play and adjusted way better than I did. I led for a long time but every time I thought I was going to put him away he hit another straight.

It got back to even and then seesawed for a bit. When he finally took a big lead my frustration coupled with his superior play did me in.

I had great cards for a long time but that isn't enough.

BottlesOf

09-19-2005, 08:59 PM

I don't know. How can we possibly have next week match I feel like we've only played like 2 of our games?

I don't really see the need to maintain the one week pace now that we only have four teams and are in the playoffs.

I will not be able to play HULA on Friday/Saturday or Sunday. Thurs. and Monday late maybe, but those are a stretch.

Looks like I'll play etizzle tomorrow.

I'd prefer like 10/11/12 o clock tomm. (eastern)

I'm apparently playing baronzeus again, who probably thinks that he can escape my massive running good powers. I agree with an extension.

Okay, we'll extend round 1. Tenative starting date for round 2 will be Monday the 26th.

I know that we're waiting on a Grisgra/Soiler match, and they're both posting today. So like... play and stuff.

Rumor has it that rounder is ducking Bubu- and since they've already used their alternate (that was baronzeus, I crushed him, in case you forgot) I move for an immediate forfit.

After a 17-hour marathon battle in which NLSoldier came from behind to even about 184 times, I pull off the victory.

Team Grisgra is officially up 3-2, and going to the finals.

Good game. I probably aged about five years because of it.

NLSoldier

09-27-2005, 09:59 PM

Grisgra beat me in what was probably the hardest fought match I played in this season. He started out hot and never gave up the lead despite me coming back from all in to even twice.

Good game and good season guys.

fyodor

09-27-2005, 10:03 PM

Just how good is Team Grisgra?
I was drafted in the 2nd round (top 20 overall) and I totaly sucked and we are still in the final.
Imagine if I were to actually win a match?

I would like to thank my entire team - Grisgra, Shneids, Bubu, b_dids, & Arkady - for carrying me on thier backs this far. You guys are the best and I am honoured to be in the same group email as you.

Not very. (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Number=2931412)

We're only ranked about 5th or so. My mid-to-late round picks were uninspiring. I passed up value in Danemania and (please don't laugh TOO hard, the man wrote a very good book) King Yao.

Sorry, Dids, Bubu. After considering things a bit more, I'm afraid I'm going to have to cut you from the team.
