Quick KotZ update - 3 hours to go

[Simon Diamond]

28 in so far, so by my reckoning 5 will get paid at the moment - we need 46 to pay the final.

If anybody who played last time hasn't got the password, drop me a PM. I sent out the password ages ago, and you may have missed it.

Anyone interested in having a pop at the over under lines please do so.
I will only be scoring them for fun this time, but would like a little data to have a go at running a still "fun" but more serious tipster tourney in the future.

On this occasion just right or wrong will be scored

I'll take a stab, since I have nothing I would rather do right now....

Individual:

Lorinda (Badly underestimate yourself) UNDER (easiest one on the board)

Grannie Mae - I know this isn't her game, but UNDER (Second easiest)

Online Chimp - Given Simon's estimate above, I have to take Under...

EVENT

Repeat Finalists (I assume this means final table), OVER

# of 2+2 posts by winner - WAY OVER

See you all tonight!

P.S. One from me: ODDS I end up as Fish of the Month: Even Money....

[twistedbeats]

have you handicapped it yet? remember to scale me high due to my remarkable inability to place in tournaments with more than 10 players.

[Fishy]

"lol, i'm probably dead money."

You seem relax about calling yourself dead money, why you telling us? It's a fun tourny, not really looking for dead money:) besides, you sound pretty confident.

"relatively new to this game."

Relatively new to this board is not the same as relatively new to the game. Relative to who?? You can get out of stranger mode in a week, simply post 15 responses each day:)

I read in your profile that you like Finance and poker?? Hmm, I'm guessing......you are in your 20's, NYC.......hmm....Graduate from Princeton???
Your attitude......sound kinda Asian:), a mixture, born in US??? With a White girlfriend.....From Princeton, she is Jewish. A very long shot, what does she study?? My guess is literature or Media. You obviously Finance.

How many did I get right??:)

Just playing with my intuition:)

Anyway, if you REALLY want to play, make 98 more post NOW:)
Or PM me, I have some ideas:)

[PhiberOptik]

wow, i am impressed. You scored very high but not perfect. i guess I must've played with you on PokerStars a few months back. I just dropped out to pursue an opportunity outside the walls of academia. nevertheless, you have quite a keen memory.

[Fishy]

[Simon Diamond]

38 in, need 8 more to pay the final table.

I have been thinking, and with quite a few KotZ first timers there will be a Rookie of the Month award to the best placed newcomer (it will differ slightly from the Most Improved Player in that the player can finish in the money and receive the award.)

Good luck to all.

[jasonHoldEm]

Took a shot at a $5 (2 table) SNG, treating it as a satellite for KotZ....played well, but didn't play much because I didn't get many playable hands. Those I did I had to bail out on /forums/images/icons/frown.gif Finished in 10th after getting blinded down to where I needed to make a move (which I did with a pair of sixes).

Anyways, I think I'm going to take a shot at KotZ anyways. It will be fun, and although I don't honestly believe I have a chance to make the money, the expereince will certainly be worth it.

See you in a little while.

[PhiberOptik]

now I am very curious, I PMed you.

[Phlounder]

I'd like to get in this next month. Exactly how many posts do I need?

[Simon Diamond]

25

[Simon Diamond]

25 (roughly)

[PhiberOptik]

25

I'm in the same situation. But I guess I have some freetime tonight so might as well try to accumulate some of those.

[Fishy]

It's only 25 posts now, you can do some posts in stockmarket section.

Answer Sklansky's Game theory question.

Post a few beginner questions in Beginners. Ask what books are the best in Books, and Software and you will be there in no time, you have a few seconds to do a post!!

The race is on!

[bentlyman]

Here's my O/U's

Winner A-L
Defending Champ Under
Defending Fish Over
Positon of first timer Under
The Boss Over
The Bag Over

[PhiberOptik]

with the speed of either this site or my connection, 21 more posts might be a problem. wow, didn't realize they had a stock market section on a poker forum. well, you know what they say, finance is just glorified gambling.

[Simon Diamond]

And 43 are in - 3 more needed to pay the whole final table. No sign of MS either - where is he!

Simon

[lorinda]

Maybe people who want to play next time could build some posts up by doing a commentary from the rail on the latest from the tourney.

Lori

[Miah]

As of 1 minute to go we have 47 so it looks like the final table is getting paid.
