On my way to Cadas for the HU tourney. Hope I dont see any of you guys at my table

Was talking with a friend of mine about Michigan Poker. We have more of a critical mass than just about any place other than Vegas. Yes, So Cal has a few huge rooms and its own scene, but doesn't seem to have the same sort of dynamic nor number of options. We have what I call a "Competitive Camaraderie". My theory is a Competitive Camaraderie is one of those things that results in mutual success. Sort of like The Beatles, or any number of the Poker "Mobs" from a few years ago. Just look at the interaction in this thread as an example. We should be breeding some pretty competitive players. If there is a second "Boom" I expect to see a bunch of Michigan names rise to the top.

Congrats on the score and good luck!

GL. Take it down.

On my way to Cada's weeeeeee

I just want to get through the first round. GLGLGLGLGL everyone.

I just don't want to draw Joe 1st round tbh, lol, glglgl guys!!

I heard from a dealer at Electric Stick that the $250 tournament they were going to get hole cams installed and the final table would be broadcasted on tv. I'm not sure what channel or if it's 100% but this is what I was told.

Yeah I heard that too. That table is pretty crazy. I saw it but didn't get a chance to play at it.

Hopefully every1 has more than 8bbs when they start the FT then, be kinda silly if not.

wow. i would for sure play in it, but I've got Black Keys tickets that evening...

First round was smooth sailing.. now waiting for round 2 to start

FWIW, I'd probably find a way to eff that up.

Won first round, but now playing gambit in round 2 lol.

What is the side bet?

Gambit was reading me like a book. Out of the heads up tourney. GL gambit8888.

Won first 2 rounds. Kinda fun trying to guess who's who lol

Well says here 5 places pay $5500 for first with 30k starting chips and 30 minute blinds. It don't mention the hole cams like the guy said but they might not have that ready in time or dealer could of been misinformed when he was talking about it.

Kinda wish I'd played this. What was the Buy-in & total runners?

Wow sick draw. Myswell take it down now gambit. Gl

$60 buy-in and 25 runners. Top four pay.

Jose finished in 7th. GG Jose! Can't wait to rail the rest of the series.

Nice meeting you, HW. GL hopefully it will be you and Gambit in final match.

7th for $13,600 (not bad for one $240 entry)

Thanks Frank, actually I will be able to play the $350 Mega Satellite at 5pm (right now) good Luck us!

Didn't have a side bet in the actual tourney, but I lost $6 at Chinese poker against a young kid who got knocked out in the first round, and $5 at PLO heads up against Gambit while we were waiting for his next round to start.
