Good point. Just sounded fun. Are you related to Broadway by any chance? I swear your posts sound so much like his sometimes. Broadway, where are you? (fading echo)

Did you really search the thread 4 months back to find this quote I made about a $35 tournament at Snookers, and somehow you think it's relevant to the $250 tournament at Cada's Room? If I remember correctly, you were the only one who took advantage of my offer and I paid 100% of your buy in. I don't understand why you quoted my post from August

lol. That would be crazier than that game at Card Sharks. I'm game!

I won't be at the $250 this weekend. Need to save some cash for the mix games at the party.

Playing at Cada's while I wait to talk to Patrick about plans for the party. They have 4 tables running for their 7 pm tournament and 3 cash tables running. I'm even so far.

Of course he finished the beer.

I threw up a little in my mouth watching him.

Tried to get to Cada's today around 4 but they didn't have a cash game going...headed to snookers and was able to get a seat right away. Nice little run of cards let me take a profit today. I guess the place to play during the day time is Snookers until Cada's can get up and running.

bad news: I'm about 50/50 on making it on Saturday. I came down with the flu yesterday, which feels like one of those nagging things that will stick with you all winter long. I don't want to be rude and hack all over the place.

good news: I booked a 6 day trip to Vegas starting Super Bowl weekend. Haven't had a vacation in almost 3 years so its overdue.

Yeah, we don't want your germs. Hope you get better, bro. If you're no longer contagious, suck it up and come grab some grub.

I've seen rooms do all kinds of crazy promotions to get the early bird players to come in, but even in Vegas there's a dearth of poker mid morning and most of those games have been running over 24 hours!

Once I tried going to Greektown before 6 am to get my game on before work. There was a crazy game that had been going on all night and it ended with a 5-way all-in preflop where a crusty reg slow rolled the whole table and then called the all-ins with aces. He had everyone covered and his aces won. So sick. Game broke after that hand since villain cashed out.

Thanks for your work setting everything up O8, and anyone else involved. Sorry Atari won't make it but at least we can eliminate razz from the mix. Or he can soak his chips in beer to kill the germs. Targeting Joe for sure.

Maybe I will try downtown during the day...but snookers and cada's are so close to my house. Oh well maybe Cada's today to get some free food.

Is anyone planning on playing some satellites today to try and win a cheap seat into the $250 this Saturday? I'm playing the $65 satellite at 5pm and was hoping it gets a good turnout to increase my odds of winning a seat.

Also, Bad Beat Jackpots at Motorcity are getting big!
Quads over Quads: $153,000
Aces full of Kings: $42,000

I never understood why when the bbj at MCC gets huge you can't get a seat, but when Greektown is over $180k there is open seating. 3/6 pwns bbj lol?

Hope someone from this thread hits it.

Well, because MCC is usually close to full on regular days anyways, BBJ adds extra insentive! Yeah, sure would be nice if one of us hit it.

It was a month back. I went there like twice that week while it was high like that and place was not packed. Guess people dislike that much. I've always liked playing there fwiw.

So I'm at Cada's on Wednesday this week setting up the party details. Terry Foster from 97.1 The Ticket arrives at about 8 pm and they start getting ready to give out swag including a pair of Lions tickets, so I stick around and play some 1/2. Joe Cada is there as usual and he starts up a 1/3 game. Shockingly, two of the worst players at our table get up to go play it. I wasn't going to stick around much longer after the drawing, so I stay. Ling story short, my number gets called, I win two gift certificates for food at Cada's but I don't win Lions tickets.

But, guess what? After the drawing, Terry Foster announces that Cada's will give away two more pairs of tickets Saturday night. That's right, the night of our party. We run good. Would be funny if someone in this thread wins tickets. Like me.
