2+2ers at FTOPS Razz - 11/8 - 9pm eastern - Page 2 - Stud Poker

Updated:

2+2ers include

betgo
SGspecial
ONlyPlayRagz
iStackBooks(not sure if this is his handle on FT
TT (I assume - tho' his handle needs a Q clearance)
RazzySpoon
swaftjo - (Go Rusty!)
and, probably, if he remembers to register - the lovely and talented...

ADANTHAR!!

Pros playing include:

Andy Block
Huck Seed
Lee Watkinson
Max Pescatori
Michael Craig
Toto Leonidas

Still under 200 registered, but as I recall, the WCOOP was under 200 until very close to start when it went over 1100. I'd expect at least 500 here. I'll be very surprised if there are not at least two 2+2ers at the final table.

An overlay looks probable. 100k guarantee, only 53,7000 in the pool so far. They need 333 1/3 players to avoid the overlay, but there are only 179 so far. Figure 100 or so will come in at the last minute, I'd guess there will be a 10.8k overlay at a minimum, possibly as big as 30k.

Ye of little faith. I'd put $100 on them making the guaranteed pool. Prop bet anyone?

yeah, I have played in nearly every reachable live and online razz event over the past year, with the exception of the WSOP where I busted at the end of day one I tend to get rather deep, I hope this trend continues.

I learned the rules of Razz today so I'm obviously playing.

When they're showing KKK it is good to bet. Got it. Check.

the overlay is currently at $22,000, they are still short 111 players with less than 4 hours to go. There was also an overlay in yesterday's NL tourny. How bizarre.

How are the guarantees decided on?

There is no way there will be a guarantee. As a matter of fact it will probably get well over the amount it needs.

This is far different than a NL tournament that needs 3,750 people to meet the guarantee.

Just won my practice run in Full Tilt's $20 MTT, maybe the poker gods are on my side today...

On a serious note, if any of the micro players are still looking for partial stakes i might be interested

They need 80 players of 333 with 2 1/2 hours to go. They should make the guarentee easily. The players already signed up are almost all satellite qualifiers.

Sorry, I didn't have microstakes players in mind. I wanted to back sp00n or chipsahoya or someone like that

Well thanks for the compliment, but unfortunately I can't play tonight since I have to give the final presentation of my training program before I go back to DC at work tomorrow. I would play anyway now since it got moved to the afternoon, but my friends and I are all going to AC this weekend so I have to get some sleep before then; so I'll skim those cash games and then go to sleep.

That's a great deal for Rusty, though, GL!

I might be interested in taking some backing for the $500 HORSE tourney next week, though, because nothing's going to keep me out of that...

I wonder is someone will remind oppenheim to register. I remember the last set of FTOPs, Clowine hosted one of the NL tournies and assumed she would be registered automatically. Boy was she pissed.

Anyone have an estimated time on how long this will take to play?

There are 15-minute levels, so I'd be surprised if it took more than 8 hours. (edit) Well - wait - it's also double-stacked. The WCOOP took about 14 hours with 30 minute levels. Could still be 8 or less, I suppose.

The pro list now looks like:

Aaron Bartly
Andy Block
Erik Lindgren
Huck Seed
Karina Jett
Lee Watkinson
Max Pescatori
Michael Craig
Stuart Paterson
Toto Leonidas
Steve Zolotow

Over 300 right now, will certainly be well over 334 by the time it starts.

David Oppenheim finally showed up - one of you email him?

Just hit 334. I think it could get pretty big in the next hour.

417 at 8:25. I'm thinking 500-550 is a reasonable number.

Is anyone as gonzoRazz as I am going to be watching? Want to divide up our 2+2ers so everyone has a fan? Except for TT since we don't know who he is? Anyone playing who isn't on the list, BTW?
