[ZeeJustin]

Care to make a little wager on that? I know Ulysses is gonna get slaughtered by me. I'd put the over/under at 27 hands before he's chipless.

I got $20 that says my team wins if you want to put your money where your mouth is.

[BugsBunny]

What's up Doc!
If you need wabbit hunting lessons contact Elmer Fudd. I expect that you'll have about as much success as he's had in the past - but he does have a lot of experience.

I also think that Acme is having a special on a HU poker manual, written by Yosemite Sam co-authored by Wily Coyote. I highly recommend it - it has all their premium plays in it.

/images/graemlins/grin.gif

PS - You're going down!!

[CrackerZack]

This is really gonna be awesome. Nice work gonores.

[calvin]

Clearly, all of the captain's will toss and turn in their sleep every night, as they ask God, "why oh why did I pass Calvin seven times?"

I am proclaiming myself as the number one sleeper in this year's HULA draft, and, to spite all who passed over me, and honor JTG, I plan on crushing all of my opponents in a combined 57 hands.

Calvin

[NLSoldier]

If you arent already certain that Calvin is full of [censored], please refer to this link for all the reassurance you should need http://www.mtmtechnologies.net/poker/standings.html

His opponent week one was of course, the NLSOLDIER!

[calvin]

Edit-

The next time we meet, you will actually call preflop one of the 12 times I have AA, KK, AKs, AQs or QQ.

Calvin

[NLSoldier]

haha and maybe you will finally get the picture and fold when i 4 bet you with one of my monster boats!

[calvin]

Dave,

Ah yes, and where would your Party account be without my guiding hand?

Game selection, hand consultations, encouragement, and, like you said, the very starting point of your online career in the form of my Neteller transfer.

Calvin

[JTG51]

Haha, that's what I like to hear!

I'm glad to see my team could start the trash talking in my absence.

[gonores]

Cap,

The only real question you need to answer from here on out is whether we want Dom or Cristal in the locker room on championship Saturday.

[JTG51]

I suppose I should come up with a team name also. I encourage suggestions (from my team, not from Ulysses).

[Dylan Wade]

You will have to start saying "I am the great cornholio"
"I need TP for my bungholes"

[Bozeman]

"This is awesome - we're gonna start off 9-0"

I have this lingering fear that my LAG phase will wear off precisely half way through the decisive hand of the decisive match between me and, say, RobK or someone, and I'll fold my quad aces to his fifth reraise on the river on a A /images/graemlins/spade.gif K /images/graemlins/spade.gif Q /images/graemlins/spade.gif A /images/graemlins/heart.gif 4 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif board because I'm *certain* that he has the Royal (when in fact he has only has a full house), costing TeamZee the pennant.

[Vehn]

When I download thepokerclub client and try to open it, windows tells me its not a valid win32 application.

[JTG51]

Nice.

My problem isn't nearly as bad, but I've been waiting several hours for them to email me a validation code so I can activate my account.

[JohnShaft]

I'm suprised at both of these.
I didn't have any problems with either of the issues last night, so I'm afraid I can't offer any suggestions. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

The email got to me like instantly.

[Vehn]

Well I tried it twice, dunno what to do.

[gonores]

V-

I am online, waiting for support to free up...I will ask for you.

[CrackerZack]

Mine crashed immediately after signing up with a XP general error. No problems since. I can't chat at the HULA table though. I emailed support so hopefully soon.

[James282]

My email got there instantly as well, but I can't sit at the tables or chat, I imagine it is just gonna take support a while to validate us all since this is a lot more traffic than they are used to. The software seems pretty quick though, and I had no trouble downloading it or running it.
-James

[brian0729]

Hey Doug,

I had no problems with the software and the account setup. I am using Win2k. However I deposited last evening with the proper sign up code and have not received any deposit bonus and have not had any money removed for HULA as of yet? Im not being impaitent just wandering if anyone knows how long for this to happen. Thanks.

[gonores]

Impatience is fine, as I was assured we would be playing today....I'm getting a little antsy myself. I've been waiting for half an hour with live chat support, and I am trying to get in touch with the person who help Mike and I set this up, but I am sure TPC is a busy, busy place today.

Let me clarify once more that the guest list for the HULA table is empty right now less myself and my test-pilot friend. No one can sit at the table until the guest list is hammered out, and I am currently working on this exact thing right now.

Doug

[JTG51]

Their deposit bonus isn't automated. You need to email support after you make your deposit to get the bonus.

[brian0729]

[BugsBunny]

Didn't you also have trouble installing Pacific? Or was that someone else? If it was you then it sounds to me like you may have some computer issues.

I didn't have any problems at all.

[BottlesOf]

Post deleted by BottlesOf

[gonores]

Edit your post, bottles....get the bonus code off the screen.

D

[BottlesOf]

Didn't think that through, sorry Doug. Anyway, I was able to get the initial deposit bonus.

[illunious]

JTG, I had the same problem, somewhere on the validation screen there is an option to resend it, it came almost right away after I did that.

Also, I don't know what you use for email, but Yahoo marked it as spam and moved it to the bulk folder.

[BugsBunny]

Silly question - but are you sure you entered the right email address? Also if there's any spam filtering on your account check the spam files. The mail comes as an html message, some spam filters may pick it up.

My validation code came in seconds.

[JTG51]

Silly question - but are you sure you entered the right email address?

Pretty sure. That's the first thing I thought of, so I double checked.

Also if there's any spam filtering on your account check the spam files.

As far as I know, I don't have any spam filtering. I'm using Outlook and don't even have a junk folder.

[JTG51]

JTG, I had the same problem, somewhere on the validation screen there is an option to resend it, it came almost right away after I did that.

I tried that too, with no luck. Hopefully the third time will be the charm.

[BugsBunny]

Ah - but does your ISP do any filtering? Some do (and sometimes don't even tell you about it)

[BugsBunny]

If you do check with your ISP make sure you get tech support - a customer service rep for may know diddly (assuming large ISP). Relevant info:

From address: support@powernetpoker.com
IP address: 200.46.97.154

Note that the IP address *is* listed in 2 of the more aggressive spam blocking lists. It's not in any of the sane ones though.

[Vehn]

Nope never tried Pacific.

[JTG51]

There's no way for me to access my junk mail folder (which I didn't even know I had) through Outlook, so I had to check my mail through my ISP's homepage. Sure enough, the validation code was there.

Thanks for the help.

[BugsBunny]

OK, what OS? What browser? Did you try re-downloading (maybe the file got corrupted during the download)?

If you select the downloaded file, right-click, and choose properties you can check the exact file size. It should be 4,565,539 bytes. If that's not the size then it somehow got corrupted during download.

[Mike Haven]

Received from TPC:

"The not valid win32 app means their download was corrupted, i.e. internet connection too slow, too many functions working while trying to download, etc. They need only delete the download, clean their temp files, reboot and re-download."

[Mike Haven]

Received from TPC:

"If they do not get their validation code, have them telephone the support line 800 480 7038 immediately and support can validate their account on the telephone."

[GuyOnTilt]

Our match time is set for Monday, March 8, 9:00 pm EST. Should be fun.

GoT

[CrackerZack]

Poop. I was hoping to watch. Good luck. Me and stripsqueez are looking at a tuesday match. He's in australia though so time yet to be determined.

[JTG51]

Monday at 10 PM ET. Probably won't be fun.

[karlson]

I could have sworn my opponent posted this already but now I don't see it.

Anyway, Sunday 10:30 eastern/7:30 pacific.

Sunday at noon EST.

[gonores]

Here's to hoping.

I have instructed them to add LarsR and Waynesworld ASAP.

If no go, next weekend (at the very least, next Saturday) will still be available for week 1.

Doug,

Looks like it worked. I'm sitting at the table waiting for Lars. Do I get the honor of being the first loser/winner in HULA? /images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[ElSapo]

I'm watching this match, though I can't comment as I haven't made the list yet. Good luck to both...

[HavanaBanana]

I am not impressed with TPC, I have not gotten my invite for the table yet, how hard can that be?
It is not like they have 1000 tables going.
I am not signing up for a match before things are fixed.

[Mike Haven]

Game on!

[TheGrifter]

Grrrr...TPC won't open for me now. It was working fine yesterday. I still haven't been able to confirm that I'm on the guest list and I have a match at 10pm. Morgant vs Near_Irrelevant (me)

I guess I'll have to download it again..

[gonores]

Grifter,

I contacted the appropriate people...you are prioritized to be on the list

D

[Mike Haven]

i saw you say "hi" at the table, so that's good news they fast-tracked you onto the list in good time for your game

[TheGrifter]

Excellent. Thanks gonores.

[Wayne]

22 minutes into the match, and 200+ hands, we are dead even

[HavanaBanana]

My main Man Lars® is doing as we planned, getting behind to gather more speed to take the match home.

I'm finally on the List! yay /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[HavanaBanana]

Lars Won the first HULA match ever, congratulations /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[n1stunnor]

Thanks guys /images/graemlins/cool.gif

Excellent match Wayne! To bad somone had to lose.

[Dylan Wade]

[TheGrifter]

[gonores]

Um, match is over.

Table closes at that point, like a normal tourney table.

There is a new HULA table open though.

Doug

[TheGrifter]

[Dylan Wade]

I did the "live chat" customer support option (After emailing), and they got me up and going pretty quickly. Unfortunately, the HULA table has dissappeared after the first match, so I hope they don't have to restart the entire process. I've scheduled a match tonight (Should be 10PM ET tentatively!).

[Dylan Wade]

what's up cuz!?

[TheGrifter]

My match is at 10pm tonight!! lol

[gonores]

I just got off the horn with operations. They say try to reboot, because both of you are authorized for all HULA tables.

BTW, do you see that there is a HULA 6 in place of HULA 1 in the tourney tab right now?

Doug

[TheGrifter]

Thanks Doug,

I see the table and I'll try rebooting.

Won't let me on HULA5,but it lets me chat on HULA6.

it's not letting me chat on HULA 5 or sit at HULA6

fastest way to deal with this is to close the window and reload it. trust me...you'r enot getting any closer to getting help sitting there waiting.

Good luck, and kick some a$$ /images/graemlins/cool.gif

I can`t chat at the table, but I am watching you.

[morgant]

morgant got manhandled by the grifter, nice match near_irrelevant..............

[TheGrifter]

Good match Morgant. The cards just favored me today.

[n1stunnor]

Great game Mosch!

[mosch]

N1stunnor handed my ass to me five or ten minutes into the 20/40 level. I can't say I felt like it was well fought though. I think n1stunnor deserved to win, and the only reason he was ever in trouble was because I was catching cards.

I'd appreciate any feedback, especially feedback that says why my play sucked.

Congrats on your win! /images/graemlins/cool.gif

We rule. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[BigEndian]

karlson wins, congrats.

- Jim

[karlson]

Thanks. It was a thriller, with BigEndian down to 250 chips early, then coming back, karlson down to 150 chips before the last run. The 20/40 at the end helped.

[BigEndian]

It was fun and a hell of a fight. I did feel a little crushed when we went to 20/40 and I had you on the ropes but then two big hands and the tables were turned.

I was left wondering what the nearly two hours of back and forth was for when in the end the match was decided in 15 minutes. The format could probably stand to be tweeked a little.

[edit] It wasn't 2 hours, it just felt like it /images/graemlins/smile.gif

- Jim

[CCass]

The cards favored my tonight, and I was fortunate to beat DylanW. A very well played game.

[BugsBunny]

The Bunny will want some extra carrots after his rat extermination job on Tuesday /images/graemlins/smile.gif Although Rugbyrat wanted to be referred to as "the winner" when I posted this. So I will state that Rugbyrat will be the winner of 2nd place.

PS - Gonores - I don't yet have access to the HULA tables.

[BBill]

PS - Gonores - I don't yet have access to the HULA tables.
Having been through this twice I think I know what is happening. If you requst access to the HULA tables support will give you access to all the table names that are currently playing if a new one shows up you dont have access but if a table that you can get to closes and then opens up again then you have access.

I currently have access to HULA tables named HULA 4, HULA 5 and HULA 6, but not HULA 1-2-or-3
I can live with this now since I still have not been able to contact my opponant to schedule anyway.

[Schneids]

Me and GoT's match is later today, just wanna make sure that I'll be able to have access to HULA tables by then.

[jtf]

I opened my account on friday and deposit the $26. Everything seemed to work fine until saturday when I was not able to log in anymore.

"login failure - error code: U-0086D"

Anyone else having the same problem? I have contacted the support but they have not fixed the problem yet.

[gonores]

Schneids,

your best chance is to talk to live support yourself...it seems to be the fastest way to do it.

Doug

[JTG51]

I used live support the other day, but now I can't find a link to it. Have they taken it down? My match is tonight also, can anyone help?

[n1stunnor]

http://www.thepokerclub.com/support_contactus.asp

[gonores]

They are swamped right now. They had no clue what an influx of 72 sophisticated, knowledgeable players would do to their support system, and they just don't have the bodies to handle all our issues at once.

Keep checking in every hour or so...once they can help you, they will, and they will put the link back up.

Oh yeah....kick some ass tonight.

I won in 50 minutes. No idea how many hands it was since I didn't reset my data, so there was data from earlier in the day.

My props to GoT -- a wail of a combatant. I definitely felt like I was having to change gears more times than normal when playing someone HU. It helped catching some cards at the right times, and I succeeded in some key bluffs.

GoT, I'll give you the option to comment more if you wish -- elsewise, good game and g'luck to you and your team the rest of the way.

[ElSapo]

I watched the Schneids v GoT match. Both guys played it great, congrats to the other team...

[Catch of the Day]

Congrats for a good game. However, GOT complained that the action buttons on the skin disapeared and he timed out on a few hands. This is unacceptable in my opinion. Curious if any one else has had that problem?

[JTG51]

I made a couple of suckouts then proceded to get hit over the head with the deck on my way to victory.

[soda]

Good game.

/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[JTG51]

I never had the buttons disapear, but there were several times where my or soda's action didn't register until we got very close to timing out.

[Schneids]

Yeah I felt bad about that after betting the river and he timed out.

One specific hand was when the board was K88K. I had KQ and bet, he raised, I 3-bet, then he put a message into the chat saying his buttons disappeared... but then like 5 seconds later, he called. So, I thought that must have meant it was fine, and bet the river. Then his buttons disappeared again, and this time got timed out and the pot was mine. I sorta figure I had him beat anyway since he didn't 4bet me, but if he did have a king, I feel bad about that.

[daryn]

daryn vs. bozeman , new time 1pm est on tuesday

[gonores]

[gonores]

We have a lot of matches tonight (Including my rout of The Gift of Gab). I claim no responsibility if all 6 tables are full. Why I get to claim this, I don't know. I would do my part to stave off the match-load and reschedule, but I already started trash-talking, AND I already started my day-long Patton (the George C. Scott movie) marathon. If GoG will reschedule, I can and will reschedule.

BTW...mentioned this to Schneids last night: I have nearly 700 posts on here, and my screen name has never been made fun of...at least, to my face. There is a long story behind it, but it is not related to the STD that looks a lot like my moniker. 2+2 is the best.

Wednesday, March 10, 8:00 P.M. EST.

[BugsBunny]

Bugsbunny defeats Rugbyrat in 127 hands. Rugbyrat held the early lead, but then the Bunny got a good run of cards plus some fortuitous bluffs and took the lead never to look back /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Was a good match. Key hand towards the very end was when the Bunny cracked Rugby's AA with a flopped 2 pair. That hand put Rugbyrat down but not quite out. On the very last hand the the Bunny held J4 and Rugby held J7 (I think - might have been J3) - the cards dealt a 4 on the turn and it was over.

Edit: Some stats;
I forgot to reset my stats at the beginning so this is for the last 112 (of 127) hands.
Games won: 58%
Flops seen: 49%
Showdowns won: 68%
Win % of flops seen: 69%

[Rugbyrat]

Fair summary and fun match. I had J/3 on the final hand. I need to get some practice in...any takers?

I'll be spending the rest of the day driving my car around and trying to run over bunny rabbits.

Nice game, Bugs!

[surfdoc]

Trix and I just had a helluva match. The software was going crazy that made things a little problematic. I think we both got screwed roughly an equal amount so it was okay. I had him on the ropes early but couldn't knock him out. Nice job Trix!

154 hands (fell like more).

Bit of a rollercoaster, down to 300 or so, back up to 1000, then slowly down and out.

Turning point for me was my A5s, making two pair running into AA. Had also lost 2 hands in a row just before with pocket pairs to Smudge's bigger pocket pairs!

Really good fun. Congrats to a worthy winner.

Sheriff

Stats were interesting:

71% flops seen.
I won 51% of the hands where I saw a flop, 54% of the games overall and 52% of the hands that I showed down. Smudge just picked off all the big ones /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[smudgex68]

Thanks Sheriff
Good game - it was certainly the pocket As that turned the tide. HU roller coaster as usual.

My points balance always reads 0.00. I've played, I've gotten messages on tables saying I get XXX points, but no points. Am I alone in the world?

[HavanaBanana]

I havent gotten any message about getting points, I have played 2 20+2 3 player sng's and got 20 points

[Bozeman]

I had to turn off my popupblocker to get the page to work. Even using "open in new window" didn't work. Also, I had lots of timeouts while connected (4-5), which doesn't happen to me (usually) elsewhere. Also very annoyed that unclicking autofold always folds one more hand.

Craig

[HavanaBanana]

Very aggressive at first, then a period of both sitting back, then I got a big pot with 77 (AJ7) before I got lucky with an inside str8 on river.

gg Nottom, very few pots decides the game.

[BigEndian]

This software update is a stinking pile of bull caca. Bugs, lag and the poker rules are f'ed up. Twice tonight I lagged out in the blinds and didn't have to post the dead money for the SB. Once, I didn't have to pay the BB+SB when I missed them both.

Bring a pony keg of patience to this site, you WILL need it.

hula match 3/9 8pm PST 11:pm EST
catch of the day vs BBill

[Nottom]

I thought Havana played a great game, I just wish I could have put up more of a fight. I wasn't really in the right mindset and took way to long to get adjusted to the game. I couldn't catch anything early and HB's constant pressure put me in a huge hole to start the match. I managed to steal a few chips back until the big hand where he caught his set of 7s against my AQ. After that I was pretty shortstacked and in the final hand we threw in a ton of chips on the flop where we each had OE straight draws (8TQ flop - he had KJ, I had 97) and a 9 on the river put me away.

Like I said before, I thought HB played great and I only wish I could have given him a better match.

[Homer]

Homer wins about 1:05 into the match despite being severely outplayed. He attributes his victory to an onslaught of rivered gutshots that he had no business chasing.

-- Homer

[bunky9590]

almost a 2 hour match and had Fluff all in at one point when he came storming back.

Boats, gutshot straights, and finally his JJ took out my K8, I spiked an 8 but no other help.

Nice game.

[Catch of the Day]

Winner: Catch of the Day

Match time: 11 minutes (Round 1 record?)

My take: As, expected BBill stood little chance when facing an opponent representing a team as strong as ours. I personally am severely dissapointed at his loose/passive behavior...A sorry excuse for a player and a sad representative of all that twoplustwo holds sacred. I am sure Mason and David would agree.

the real take: (team members look away) Catcher got hot cards which are pretty hard to miss-play, match was too quick to see anything else. Good match Bill. Quick, no complaints here...

[fluff]

In a nailbiter, fluff vs Bunky9590 took 1:50 to complete, with fluff winning.

Early in the game fluff had Bunky9590 cornered and down to his last $100, from which he came back all the way to dominate until the positions were reversed to fluff having around $100 left.

In a comeback completely attributable to dumb luck, after trying to get himself out of his misery by going all in, fluff was able to bounce back.

The crucial pot in the game happened around 5 minutes before the last, when Bunky9590's flopped TPTK and fluff turned a straight. After a raising war on the turn, and a call on the river, the pot was pushed over to fluff, leaving Bunky9590 with around $100.

The final hand of the match was fluff's pocket JJ which held up over Bunky9590's Kx. (don't remember what the x was, but I remember saying "no kings, no kings!"). /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[bunky9590]

that was a monster match. Played well by both players. Very aggressive, and some well timed all pro bluffs by both players. The final hand was K8 vs. JJ.

I actually spiked an 8 but that was not good enough to get out of the way of the fluff train. Woo WOO!!

The match was really back and forth, and went a long time.

Well played fluff, I hope You got more than you bargained for. GG. Sorry CREW.

[BBill]

I must bow down to the carnage Strongbadias army has exhibited
I was destroyed in a matter of minutes

The table closed before I got to answer your question about what I had on the last hand
Board was something like 6 4 6 9 K I had 10 6 to your K6

Well played Catch!

[DeucesUp]

Congrats jek, well played.

In an embarrasing massacre, jek eliminates DeucesUp in under 15 minutes. Although, jek's big wins are too numerous to sumarize, 2 stand out (possibly because of the poor play on my part):

jek took an early lead with TT against my AK, capped preflop and I threw around a few extra bets on the flop and turn before calling down all the way unimproved.

The clincher came with jek's JJ against my 87s. Flop was 665 (or 655 can't remember. Turn was a 4 and the river a J. I put in WAY too many bets on the river, not believing he had the boat.

[Stagemusic]

I can't feel too overjoyed. I caught some really good hands and pushed them pretty hard. Just a blip in the space/time continueum (sp?) obviously /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Simon fought back hard but had a hard time overcoming my stubborn nature as I caught him in a couple of bluffs and then I caught a decent run of cards to finish the game. It was just one of those days. So of course, I celebrated by joining a "Turbo" tourney on Paradise and busted out 150th or so out of 500+...sigh /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Sapo,

Can't post Week 2 yet, since we are STILL waiting on Team Canada....schedule is completely altered with their appearance. Week 2, and all subsequent weeks will start on Sundays.

[MaxPower]

I haven't been able to find a game higher than .5/1 on there. Finally yesterday I played in really tight 1/2 game with some 2+2ers just to get used to the software. Unless they get some action on there, I'm ready to cash out.

The software is also very buggy and the card graphics are too small. The site has some promise though.

[fluff]

Woohoo! Congratulations, and goooooo TEAM!!.... /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[morgant]

yesterday early evening i found a 3/6 game going. it was so nice and passive, i sat with 150 left with almost 300 when the table broke roughly an hour later. how does working off bonuses work at that site? anyone know what has to be satisfied.

[gonores]

I'm going to Florida tomorrow and won't be back until Wednesday. Hopefully, I can address all issures by tomorrow in the early afternoon, so I won't be missed. Hopefully, I will be able to check my PMs and threads once or twice, but you guys know my automated response system anyways. TALK TO SUPPORT FOR ANY TPC PROBLEMS.

Issue #1: Free Agents

In no particular order, here is the list of the undrafted players in HULA. PM me if you should be on this list but are not.

Cjs
Blade XX
Bubu
Fudgenut
Darkknight
Itsmarty
Irishboy
Pridemore

If you have a player that is incognito (ie strips and NLSoldier), you can claim one of these players as your sub and place him at the end of your list (i.e. if you are missing your 6th round pick, bump your 7th into the 6 slot, 8th to the 7th slot, and FA into the 8 slot). If you claim one of these before the guy you are replacing pays, then the FA becomes a full-fledged team member. He MUST pay in and he is entitled to any team member earnings.

If you need a sub for a week, you are obliged to take from the top of the list. The sub is then cycled down to the bottom of the list.

Issue #2: Team Canada

RustyJEDI is still looking for 1 more player for Team Canada. Hopefully, we will have an answer by tonight, so I can get them the appropriate sign-up stuff.

Issue #3: Full Schedule

I've made this easy on myself. Instead of waiting for Team Canada to make a decision to release a full schedule, I am going to release the full schedule right now.

Notes: Instead of having bye weeks if Team Canada develops (which becomes a problem in a 7 week - 9 team league), I decided to make some teams have double duty on some weeks. Once you see the schedule, you'll figure it out.

On the issue of matchups, I developed the matchups each week with the issue of team fairness first and foremost. For instance, I could have Team A's captain face Team B's 8th pick, and then give the rank advantage to Team B in the other 8 matchups (B's captain vs. A's 1, B's 1 vs A's 2, B's 2 vs. A's 3, etc). However, I tried to avoid that the best way I could. If you assign each pick a value (cap = 1, 1st = 2) and take the difference in each matchup and add them up, the sum of the differences will equal 0. Furthermore, I saw to it that each team have an equal number of advantageous and disadvantageous matchups. Between those two factors, I believe the matchups are quite fair.

Because of my focus when developing the schedule, I did not focus on making sure each draft pick played a good number of high-ranking picks and low ranking picks. Maybe the 7th rounders have a tougher indivdual schedule than the 6th rounders...I don't know, but I really don't think it's that important to find out. If you come up with a better matchup system than mine, feel free to present to me for HULA II.

Anywho, here it is. I listed the Home team first for some reason.

Issue #4: Website

Simon's new site is looking great. Check it out.

If you got to the bottom of this....Thank you for all your support and patience through this not-so-smooth start to HULA. Although it is clear that TPC has its problems, it is also VERY obvious they are busting their asses to try to make this all work, and that their small support staff has been seriously awesome. Keep in mind any problems you face in week 1 when the playoffs roll around, and take note if there have or have not been substantial improvements in all problem areas. My guess is there will be.

cheers,

Doug

Looking at my potential schedule, I'm off to find some razor blades! Seriously though, no schedule you make can please everyone and the cream should rise to the top regardless.

The only system I could think of that may be better is to let the captains choose their running order each week, I believe this has been suggested previously.

Yeah...that seems fun too, but when this whole thing started, I made a promise to keep the green players in mind. I really want to make sure that 7th and 8th rounders get at least one or two shots at some top-notch competition.

Also, that makes the captain's jobs harder. Next time, I want to give captains a token of our appreciation for doing the extra work. If we can do that, then we will make them work harder.

This will be true no matter what matchups you use, since sum(matchup differences)=sum(1..9)-sum(1..9)=0. So, the only useful consideration is:

"Furthermore, I saw to it that each team have an equal number of advantageous and disadvantageous matchups. Between those two factors, I believe the matchups are quite fair. "

Except that there are an odd #? So always a 4-5 split? Or do you mean weekly matchups?

I don't know exactly, but I deposited $400 and I got a $10 HULA bonus and a $100 bonus without playing any hands at all.

There is at least 1 dead even matchup in each set of weekly matchups. Therefore, it's either 4-4-1, 3-3-3, or 0-0-9.

It seems like available cash, until you try to withdraw. Actually in the terms and conditions, you agree that you will accumulate 5 Player points for each dollar in bonus before you are allowed to withdraw.

For tournament play, you get 5 PPs for every $1 in fee, so essentially you're playing without a fee. For ring games they don't give out formulas, but I played a 0.5/1 game for 1:40 the other day and only got 12 PPs.

I deposited 100$ got the 10$ for free, played 2 3 player shootouts at 20+2 a piece won one (60$), had 126 dollars and requested a cashout for the 100$ I put in.

Had to get with support as it did not show what kind of cashout I had gotten.
Support was umm, emmm, bla bla bla then they say cashout people will be back on monday (this was in the weekend) but that doesent matter anyways because I have to play the required hands to cash out.

Well, at this point I am happy I didn't claim the deposit bonus, so I could tell them off that they didn't give me any bonus what are you talking about?

The reason I didnt just play their cash games with my 100$ is that their rake is HIGH.

[Ulysses]

Justin takes an 800 to 400 lead about 10 minutes in. About 30 minutes in, it's all over as Justin has to put his last few chips in w/ some crap and I happily put mine in w/ A2. Unfortunately I river a straight, since I would have preferred to win with Ace-high. I actually wanted to win the hand before when we went all-in w/ his 54 vs. my 97. Winning it with 9-high would have been awesome, except he made a pair.

In some serious HU commentary, Justin played too conservatively and did not play back at me enough when I started getting out of line. Every time I sensed him coming back at me, I backed off and only went crazy w/ big hands. But in the interim, I was stealing him blind and re-raising pre-flop then taking down every flop w/ big cards. He also called a little too much trying to keep me honest rather than raising, which let me catch him on the river a couple of important times when he should have taken down the pot on the flop or turn.

[Vehn]

Well suckouts galore is the only way to describe this one. It was ugly folks. I think he was giving me a bit too much credit /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Cup jumped off to a quick start getting up to 800 - 400 after winning a couple big hands from me. I ground my way back and had a few key suckouts to get to the point where I put cup all in with my 44 vs his 66 on a 4 3 2 flop. Turn is a 6 and we're back at it. Anyways I played pretty bad but managed to put him away in 51 minutes. This was not one for the ages.

[pudley4]

approx 115 hands, 30 minutes.

we traded the lead back and forth 800-400, then 400-800, then back. Had him down to 180, but he got back to 400.

Then I got lucky w/92 vs Q5. Flopped bottom pair and bigger flush draw vs his top pair; I rivered the 2. Next hand, I had AA, jason had K4s, board KJ832, we capped the river. After that I kept getting slightly better cards and chipped away.

Final hand:

A /images/graemlins/club.gif9 /images/graemlins/spade.gif
K /images/graemlins/heart.gif6 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif

All in preflop

534A5 on board.

gg jason /images/graemlins/cool.gif

PS His preflop pattern map was working very well - he folded his sb to my AA, QQ, JJ, and AQo /images/graemlins/shocked.gif

[JohnShaft]

24 minutes.

I was down to 200 early, and things were looking bad, but slowly turned things around.

GG Book, well played, thought I was probably toast after the start I had. It's what I feared because I'm like almost always a slow starter.

Maybe your next match won't be so "hard". I was thinking it should be a handicap match with you spotting me X amount in chips. 900 - 300 would seem like a nice #.

[Inthacup]

Yes, it was a suckout-a-thon. I jumped out to an early lead thanks to some good suckoutage. Then, there was about 30 minutes of grinding. I stole from him, he stole from me more and we we back to about even.

The suckout switch flipped to Vehn until I was dramatically short stacked. I battled back with a few suckouts of my own(a la 66 turning 44), but I didn't have enough chips to battle the amazing suckout power of Vehn. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif


Good match, except for the me losing part /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Ouch! 18 hands. My maniacal tendencies run into vastly superior cards. Like boats and flushes. First big hand was my A8o vs his 99. I flop gutshot, he trips. Board pairs and my ace comes on the river. Last stand was 99 vs 66, I rivered the trips, he the flush and that was it.

[CrackerZack]

CZ wins in 39 minutes. Heads up is really really easy when you hit every single flop. Good match stripsqueez, the card gods loved me today.

[BookOfIcculus]

Kudos my good man on a well earned victory agaisnt me. I am full of hope that you will be the only person that gets to smell the sweat smell of victory against me.

AaMaz0n was unable to get the software to work and he's now on the party poker boat. Will it be fine to us to play after he gets back, if he gets it to work then?

Robk had me down to 220 chips within the first 30 minutes w/a key hand being his full house over my nut-flush.

I crawled my way back over the next 15 minutes to even it out.

He then busted out vs my KQs as I flopped a K vs. his TT.

Absolute street fight of a match.

Great match Rob,
Joe

Beat TTT in 75 hands - mostly because I had his top pair dominated with my top pair(or two pair, etc) a couple consecutive times. I did get to dump about 8-9 BBs to a Q high flush when I had a J high flush, though. I play good.

P.S. - Watch out for No Homer's Club

[Franchise (TTT)]

Wow, that was quick. James plays well, but I think I should've stretched it past 75 hands.
