Who Wants to Have a HU Tourney at Stars Like Right Now

[Unarmed]

Post here and I'll make brackets and sh*t cuz I'm feeling real ambitious. It can be for $5 or whatever I don't care.

[Maulik]

yes sir.

[durron597]

im in if you get it going before i go to bed

[brimstone1]

I'm in, don't have much money, $5 please /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[bluef0x]

I'm down

[johnnybeef]

in

[pergesu]

me

[proell]

Hell Yeah!
Just pulled a PopTart out of the oven so I'm ready to go.

[Scuba Chuck]

Scuba is willing to donate.

[CheckRaise]

I'm in if it's $5, anything more would be like giving money away because I'm a horrible HU player.

[gumpzilla]

Okay, how do we plan to organize this, though? (EDIT: Meaning it's pretty hard to coordinate that we'll actually be playing each other instead of random people, et cetera. Perhaps the 1-on-1 cash game tables? Downsides include rake and non-escalating blinds.) (EDIT 2: I'm interested if we can get this started in about the next 15 minutes.)

Under Tourney/Private

But 3:30... hmmmm
Stupid stars.
edit : pwd - donkatrout

[gumpzilla]

Screw it, I'll play anyway.

[Mr_J]

I woulda been down...

[CheckRaise]

but?

[johnnybeef]

i have to duck out.....i only have 5.20 in my account. i was going to sit in a ring game to make the .05, but this (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=4303808&an=0&page=1#Post 4303808) is keeping me from doing so.

[Maulik]

this is going to be a short-handed tourney?

[pergesu]

As far as I know, it's a HU tourney. So if we get like 10 people to sign up, there will be 5 HU matches. Winners then play each other until I emerge as the ultimate champion.

[Mr_J]

Ok it's still being organized...

If 10 people showed up, I think 6 would get a bye and there would be 2 first round games. With 5 players, I've seen it give three byes and one game. This is a relatively obnoxious feature, but probably somewhat unavoidable.

Also, people should note that this is PL, not NL.

[bluefeet]

cuz OP sucks at multi-tasking...

The resssssssst of the story:

$10+1 (cheapest stars offers for private tourneys)
3:30 EST (because stars requires a 1hr min future time)
PLHE
HU Matches
Starting chips & blinds double with each new match
Assuming you get less than 33, it'll pay top 4


Too late for me, next time. Have fun!

Where does that say anything about ring games?

Also, I'm sure somebody can spot you. Hell, I'll do it. What's your handle?

[Mr_J]

How do you find private tables?? 'Find a tournie'??

[CheckRaise]

Go to tourney and then click on the private tab on the far right.

pretty sure that if you ask nicely someone will lend you the 5 cents.

yea, i have already otten three people offer to loan me, but i am falling asleep as we speak. plus lorinda is in, and s/he scares me.

[lorinda]

The point seems to be that no matter how many lots of 5 cents he has, he still can't play (unless we send him $200.05)

Lori

[Fallen Hero]

I'm playing under EveryMe even though it's not my account

[Maulik]

Most painful $10 I've ever lost. I played well, I think.

good luck gump.

[pergesu]

I felt like I had no clue what I was doing. It was probably obvious as well.

You need some confidence. Most of your mosts are I don't play well, yada yada yada.... your posts are usually contrary to that.

[lorinda]

The play where I beat you (The AQ that I showed) was only possible because you made a move that I expected because I would have done the same thing.

If you had no idea what you were doing, I wouldn't have been able to pick that one off.

Lori

[Unarmed]

I rule.
That is all.

[lorinda]

Not a bad beat post as we discussed the reasons over the tables. People might find this interesting.

I had limp/folded my button the last two rounds.

I think this hand adequately captures the gumpzilla experience, particularly at 5 am.

Nah dawg, you missed my declaration that I'm the best 22er in the world (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=0&Number=4237963&page=0&vc=1) .

I had lost 3 $5.50 HU matches in a row today. I was up against lorinda, who's shown in his posts that he has a deeper understanding of pokwer than me. In this particular situation, I badly needed confidence. Poker is situational, ya know /images/graemlins/wink.gif
