And this is in omaha/8 btw where just about every hand has at least %30 equity
I would have sent the hhs into stars and asked them to look into collusion.

I did think that there might have been something like that going on

but it was full tilt and not stars so they'd probably end up investigating me instead and I'd end up getting banned

I gave up Full Tilt since it seemed loaded with people I wasn't going to beat enough to make it worthwhile. Been toying with Stars off and on since I got a dedicated business laptop that could play it.

Tried something different this week though, and played some stud games for the first time. Stud/8 I'm totally lost on, but either I'm on a real old-fashioned heater or the Razz games are easy. I've tried 0.50/1 and 1/2.

Tried 2/4. They started respecting my raises. Oops. :-)

I busted my stars roll (ftp role plently healthy for my sngs still)

I took that $70 that I had (after the 50 from books) and worked that up to a high of 225 playing 1-2 8 game and triple draw

then I started running bad. then I decided to play 2-4 triple draw. (and since then I've also ran bad playing sngs and busted out of 6 straight)

yey poker.

I won one of those satellites that give you tickets to the Sunday Million and didn't realize that I couldn't unregister and get T$

So I guess I'm gonna have to win it tomorrow

Ugh I had the Guiness tourney lobby up to make sure Traz registered and I bumped my mouse and it fell on the unregister button and unregistered.

So lame, now I'm gonna miss it.

How do they not have a confirmation box?

Maybe Traz will win it to alleviate my frustrations.

Open the tournament lobby and expand the list of players. Scroll down to the very bottom of the list. Highlight a name that appears in the list. Now, do the trick mentioned above (click register, then do not click OK yet).

Now the super-secret Ultra Registration Trick: Don't watch the player count. Instead, watch the name that you highlighted. When it moves up one slot in your window, click OK. Even though it still says 35,000, someone left and a slot is open. The player list updates before the count. By doing this, I was able to register the very first time I tried.

You'll now only be competing for a spot with the other people that have read this post. Good luck.
Here's the post that will save your asses...

It works awesome!!!! As soon as you see the list twitch, press the OK Button...

So I went to Foxwoods yesterday with a couple friends. My favorite moment of the trip. I am so card dead so I decide to limp after a couple limpers with 32s. Someone raises and I end up mucking. I look at my friend sitting two seats from me and I say "I had 3 high." The kid to my left says with a completely straight face, "what was your other card? Queen?"

And trust me, I gauged his reaction. He was dead serious. I played for about 3 hours, won two hands, and finished $2 up. Woot.

Very next hand I won a coinflip. (May not seem to be a big deal, but I get excited when I win a hand I'm expected to 33% of the time), and then a few hands later nut flush > second nut flush. Woooooo.
