A Step Higher #4 just started on Party (NC)

[Winwood]

Just thought you might like to watch

[Scuba Chuck]

OK, I'll bite. I don't recognize any of the players? Any regulars that are interesting to watch? Specifically, the kind of players who buyin directly to one of these.

[citanul]

isn't a step 4 higher like, $500 entrance these days?

$2000 buy-in

[Winwood]

Hey man I've got no idea....but its interesting viewing. I've noticed min-raising pre-flop seems to be popular....seems like min-raising is bad at low limits but at some point (maybe around the $1000 mark /images/graemlins/smile.gif ) it becomes good again

[durron597]

worldsgrtest has posted on these forums before, and is a high buyin regular

[Scuba Chuck]

Hmmm, they even call allins with A9 7 handed on L4 at this level too.

[citanul]

could someone just copy paste a list of combatants?

[citanul]

was he ahead?

OlsenLui
treemore
hounger
worldsgrtest
Edoiler
Coltens
NativeMaster

I think worldsgrtest is about the only one that hasn't made a play that had me thinking 'wtf'?

At 50/100 blinds, it was folded to worldsgrtest went all-in for 1570 from the button. He had both blinds covered. But, I wonder what hand is right for this play.

[Scuba Chuck]

I still think calling standards are awfully low in relationship to the number of players remaining and level. For example, this just happened between SB/BB

SB stack ~ 850
BB stack ~ 2800 (can't remember exactly)

6 handed, L4

SB moves allin, BB calls with KJs.

And that was on teh bubble too, top 5 pay

[citanul]

well, the thing you have to know about wgreatest is that he never, ever, ever misses his draws.

[Scuba Chuck]

With NativeMaster as shorty now, it should be more interesting. Payout increases by $1,000 when finishing between 5th and 4th.

[xJMPx]

This hurts to watch actually, the other day I was on the better side of a coinflip to win entry to level 4...

I saw this too, and was all like WTF IS GOING ON?

Hounger takes down the 10K after getting donkishly lucky.

[Winwood]

That was over a lot quicker than I expected - I've played $11s that were more tense

Sorry to hijack, but my searches have failed, anyone have the link to the giga step higher 5 hand history handy?
