happened the other day in the 400 heads up pot player bets out of turn on the turn. when being told this he then checks behind and tables his hand thinking its the river. it goes check check and he win the pot with top pair lol

Sounds like a lot of people are going to be there tonight...I hate missing the party

I can't believe Venus lost 1st thing I saw on the TV, as sat down to play Poker
That set me up for the next 3 hrs of cold cards Don't feel too bad IWSJ, I'm home for the nite too.....................

I actually got clearance to play in tonight's tourney as long as all I bring is my buy-in and my ID--I may actually need both, as well.

Friday was awesome--a guy came up to me at the table and carded me...and the table busted my chops the rest of the night. >_<

Not going

The drive is such a deterrent. I want to play but I dont want to drive 2 hours, round trip.

Did somebody ever use points to pay for tourney tickets?
I never tried but pretty sure it's 2xCash.

You are indeed correct, 2xCash .

Ill be there Friday for the tourney and maybe some 2/5 action

OK lied...found out I have.to work...so ill be across the river playing 2/5

Yeah, sounds about right.

I did make it to the tourney, and placed on the bubble, 17th. I was short, but still had enough to have some fold equity, so I shoved the BTN despite not being the shortest stack with QJs. The BB makes a pretty light call with 77, and hits a set on the flop.

I probably should have nitted up here, but the entire table wouldn't budge and I thought I could claim the blinds...why BB called with 77 here I will never know, and his stack was not much larger than mine.

Still in this tourney with 8 people left GL me
TR later

You need to tell me who you are after--I was the guy in the Skynyrd hoodie :P.

Good luck!

Can't really argue with either play there. In tourneys, most short(er) stacks will call with almost any PP there, especially if your shove appears to be a steal.

Nitting up on the bubble is a double edged sword. You might just squeek into the cash, but barring some miracle double ups, you probably won't make it into the good money. You also don't get to take advantage of everyone else who's nitting up. I've seen the button make 2 full orbits on the bubble w/o a flop.

Came 6th for 635 or so....upset I couldn't finish because I was chip leader with eight left at the final table, lost AK < 88 < KQ for half my stack, then doubled back with JJ > AK

After being on such a roller-coaster ride I was at 150k and blinds shoot up so fast in that thing...at 15k/30k/3k i shove my button with A3o and this guy to my left just tanks forever, I had been really active stealing and these two guys were getting pretty pissed, he finally all of a sudden yells '**** it!' and calls with 22...flop 3xx turn 2...said he called with 22 because it was his 22nd birthday last month lol

I wish they added a couple levels to the tournament, it really is like a super turbo, but considering how nitty our final table was playing we would of been there until next year if they switched the structure

IWSJ yeah i played with you, I was in the blue nike shirt, we sat next together at a table for awhile. I ended up getting there QQ > J10 on a J107cc flop against some random. I kind of thought you played online a little bit but was expecting someone in a sports jersey obviously.

Yeah that 77 call is standard I snap there 100%, I think you had like 60k and blinds were something like 2/4k at that point, pretty standard hand imo.

I guess 6th isint that bad for my debut at MS, I might grind cash saturday...have Sun games to work Friday/Sunday and I need to watch Celts/Lakers.
