That does not count--in order for it to count, it would need to be somewhat of a surprise .

Ok need lots of help today.... Last level of last nights HOSE toury had my AA beat in Holdem but Q10 on a flop of 428 board nice hand sir.... Then had 34567 in stud8 lost high to running hearts flush that was going for a low the lost the low to 7 perfect!!!
Owell.... Down to 20 and 15 get paid with only 20k in chips and the ave is 30k.... I'll need to hit a heater if I'm going to make it !

hope you did well ooch and thanks for coming up and saying hello its always awesome. i'm thinking its time to switch to the night hours. How has everyone been doing in the tournaments so far?

Good luck Mason, what time did you guys finish up last night? As I don't enjoy playing super late as that's what transpired the last time I played an afternoon mixed game tourney.

Nope, AQs > AQs

Pretty much this....except I still talk myself into sitting down and playing anyway and then complaining about it later. Your analysis is pretty much spot on. Still, it's hard to resist most 1/2 PLO games when they get off the ground.

How will the waiting list be on Wednesday for 1/2 NLHE? Will probably be playing some sort of omaha anyways, but would like to know what it will be like with the ME beginning. Is the casino going to be packed?

Don't think you should have an issue at all since there isn't any major tournament on that day. Main even kicks off on Thursday don't think the lists should be too bad especially being mid week.

Pat, how's the 10/25 action been? get any sessions in?

Im not Pat but ill comment. The game was very very good when I played in it Fri.

Confirmed! Although I played 8 hours before you and am surprised that the must move was actually worthwhile. The main game was full of action.

Crap I though it started Wednesday...want to go down and see the pros lol. How about Thursday then.

Theoretically speaking, of course, if someone was to buy dream points off someone else what is the going rate?

sad face is right. pat was distracting him too much. nice to see some of your faces during the day light

You can't. Points are non-transferrable.

Playing the 500 today. Gl to anyone else who is

Ran real well at 5/10 and 2/5 in that order after a few breaks. I guess 2/5 players can actually play a little 5/10 here and there. Will be there all day today as well. Shoutout to Aaron Smith who is going into day 2 of the $1k with a big chip lead.

one dollar white chips are only a minor problem in no limit but a huge problem in pot limit. in pot limit omaha making the voluntary straddle a single five dollar red chip speeds up the game tremendously and encourages people to straddle. i'd do even more to round off bets to five dollar increments (once the pot is greater than lets say $20) but that's another story.

as an aside the few times i played the last week or so it was clear that the five dollar straddle was voluntary. when it wasn't used the standard four dollar straddle slowed an already slow game.

use of the $5 straddle was ok per a side discussion i had with one of the floorman mentioned elsewhere. it is possible it's against tribal law whatever but as players we can do what we want withing reason until told otherwise.

over the weekend i played a couple times and didn't bring up the five dollar straddle since i already experienced what was mentioned in this thread regarding the large guy who buys in for $60. imho he needs to learn what makes a game good and his behavior WHEN IT IS AS DESCRIBED IN THIS THEAD doesn't. otherwise he did a very good thing for the game this weekend which was appreciated.

if he finds this thread i'd suggest looking up limon's 'i am more greek' in the archives from about seven years ago. it is the ultimate lesson for those who tend to nit up the game with too many rules quotes.

I saw someone tweet that Howard lederer is playing this tourney.

Doesn't seem like that could even be possible!

Were you the dude on table 85 seat 10?!

Gotta be a level. If he was here everyone would say that and you're the first person I've heard say that

No I was on the 3 and 4 seats both tables I sat at

Probably wants to get some reads on some people who may be playing the ME or other special tournies.

It'd be so awesome if he is and FW seats him next to some of these players who still wear ftp shirts

Unusual. I just got an email from Foxy for 2 free nights for the next 2 weeks (after this current one). About time. Check your offers folks.
