I got ousted on a coin flip (my TT losing to AK on the river) in 46th, good for the princely sum of $30. Most unfortunate as the hand was worth about $6000, it would have gotten me back up to average. Ah well. The wife is still plugging away, 25th out of 40.

Anyone else manage to make the money? I feel honored to have finished higher than some of the names I saw in the list...

And she's out in 6th as the 2nd stack calls her all in (AQo) with JTo and turns a straight. Gotta love freerolls. Ah well, $600 from nothing is quite nifty (plus my $30 I suppose). See you at the tables!

The [censored] TGC didn't allow me to play. I registered the first day registration was open, and I was ready to play today at 4:00pm here, but the tourney started, and I later realized that I was somehow unregistered for the tourney. In a huge fury, I blew $200 at the 5/10 tables and am on even bigger tilt right now. Goddamn TGC.

45th. My all in A8 was called by KJ off for half his stack. Jack on turn sent me out with $30. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

Finished around 100th. Due to my horrendous cards, I only saw like three flops and won one pot the whole tournament when I went all-in with KQs and got called by KJ. That bumped me from T650 to T1300.

I then got blinded down to about T1050, all folded to me in the SB with pocket 8's. The blinds were a good portion of my stack (150/300?) and I pushed all-in and was called by A5o. Somehow, he made a flush.

EDIT: There was some moron at my table that waited until one second to make every move. This resulted in our table playing about half as many hands as I think other tables were, which caused the blinds to escalate (relative to our stacks) so quickly. That didnt help my cause any.

Same thing happened to me.. They would not register me even though I played enough raked hands..Of course the normal definition of raked hands.

Also they screwed me up by forgetting to register me for the rookie freeroll last week. Don't bother with customer service, they will run in circles and avoid the issues like always. We will escalate, I think that is the only phrase they know. Atleast they could be honest, and say "sorry but you got screwed, we will not email you about it so just suck it up your cry baby".

My husband was going to deposit a couple hundred on tues or so, but after he saw how they loused up the tourneys I was supposed to be in, he is considering taking his buisness elsewhere. And I will too if they don't ship up.

It is too bad they don't realize how many players they are losing because of their screwups, and lousy customer service.

Awful - started late and busted out early.

Decided to play in UB 30+3 and came in second though /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Truly amazing story. Around 3pm (an hour before tourny starts) I go out for a candy run and leave my TGC window open, Get in an accident (all parties are OK). PISSED because I missed the tournament (I finished 3rd in the one last month, paid my rent with that $1200, woot!), get home around 5:30 and walk in the door to see that I was just eliminated from the tournament in 47th place and won a grand total of $30.....with out ever playing a hand /images/graemlins/smile.gif I dunno weather to be pissed I missed a shot at some big free money, or happy I wasnt around to screw up my money finish. Or maybe I should just look at it that I'm better than 75% of the players with out even doing anything /images/graemlins/wink.gif

I couldn't make it and had my mom play for me using a very simple-minded (scaled down Sklansky method) cheat sheet I made for her. She had never played hold-em before. 72nd.

I think I was at your table and I believe it was my weak call that knocked you out. That moron who started stalling when there was 150 or so players left, played one hand and finished ahead of me.

I was sooo happy to get pulled from that table to complete another table. The chip average at our table was way below the other tables.

Couldn't get anything at all, folded just about everything I looked at. Got the "double-whammy" with the blinds when I was moved to another table, went all-in with A-10, was beaten by A-9 when a 9 came on the turn. I think I finished 120-somethingth.
