And that is the lesson on how to play NL hold-em. I would like to thank the poker gods, the players that helped me get there and their, ahem, not so kind words along the way. I hope I didn't cause to much trouble for the pokerstars support staff. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

some dialogue along the way

From second place finisher

"this is insane" but "i love it though"
"hey it is no limit poker"
"ur my hero"
"this is a good learning experience though i played only 1 hand"
"i knew every1 else would get pissed"

Negative comments

"bs"
"u su ck"
"everyone scared of him"
"at least itll take him hours" Nope. 60 hands. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
"i never seen eny thing like it"
"****"
"bs"
"he works for pokerstars" My favorite
"that bull ****"
"better wait for aces guys"
"bs man. whats that" That was me, when my pocket 2's got beat by pocket 4's

a) That is freaking hilarious.

b) I would love to have heard their comments - any chance you can post some?

c) Some of those calls were AWESOME! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Thythe · #3 02-02-2005, 05:15 PM

Hands 7 and 13 are suspiciously similar. Besides for that, congrats.

WC64 · #4 02-02-2005, 05:25 PM

I have done that myself when bored but it has never worked out that way lol.

Sometimes I decide to do it and just play every hand and that hasnt been to bad although I am sure I have lost money on it.

NoTalent · #5 02-02-2005, 05:40 PM

def post some comments. I wind down after a stressful session by playing a few $5+1 SNG's on party. Its nice to put a beat on someone else for a change! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

JGalt · #6 02-02-2005, 05:46 PM

Comments are in the original post now in edit and thanks Thythe for the double hand. Fixed in edit as well.

usmfan · #7 02-02-2005, 05:50 PM

Well I don't understand what happened. A5o was goot and p/u the blinds. Next hand I'm dealt a killer KTo UTG. I'm called by the CO with AQo and MHING. Next hand I'm BB and get a sweet T7o. 2 limpers and I'm out after 3 hands.

Quotes:
"Am I in the play money tables?"
me: Nah. Just blowing off steam.
Them: "And $6 too."
Them: "I got to porn sites to blow off steam."

That last one was worth the price of admission by itself.

"u got a lot of $$$ or something" that was another comment made to me. Could have had fun with it but just replied with a "no". Should have said "ya, I'm a thousandaire"

Gotta be rich to piss away $5.50

My favorite thing to do is put the $1 + $.10 SnG tables at UB on tilt. I raised all-in on the first hand with AJ and took a guy out, then on the third hand 3 people went all in with various sized PPs and the KK ended up trippling up. 3 people out of 6 gone in 3 hands, nothing like it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
