lol I remember a guy doing this all the time at the AP .50/1 tables years ago, hed always buy in for like 3K at a time at talk crap to people. funny thing was he was like -6bb/100 over a decent sample.

damn I wish I would have checked this before playing last night, would have joined you guys.

diddy, I don't play it much either, so someone can correct me, but my thoughts are this.

Your play is bad.
His is worse.

That's pretty much my thoughts too. It doesn't help anything, but it is nice to know his is worse.

Any other Loungers playing in the Stars 1M Turbo Takedown?

no, bute somehow i got myself involved in a Stars tourney with over 25,000 entrants! Also playing the daily Eighty and some others

No. I didn't have the FPPs. I did play in 'the lottery' the 1/4 million gtd. lost obv. flopped low set with 33 on 934 flop. Got it all in against AQ. Turn 2. River 5.

2000 FPP ==> $100 Woot!

With 21,143 Entrants, 10,000 Paid (~47%), and ~$325,000 in overlay... clearly easy money.

Those are some nice tournament numbers, Sniper. Holy cow.

Reminds me of the PartyMonster!

Sniper, how'd you end up?

I love how I play a $10 SNG and luckbox a 1st place with a couple key hands (33>QQ for one), and then I play a set of ten $5 SNGs and lose AK-AJ to under pocket pairs 6 times in a row. At least I finished up on the sitdown thanks to that $10 win.

Egads.

Sorry if it wasn't clear.. I cashed $100

Oh sorry. I thought that was your entry or something. My fault.

Reading comprehension, I'm a freaking dildo.

Made a trip to Billings yesterday and got some time in at the poker table. 5 1/2 hours to be exact. Played at the Queen of Hearts Cardroom inside the Seedy downtown Billings Crystal Lounge. They have a 3/6 LHE game that runs every day which is unusual for Montana.

I ended up + $2. I was actually pretty happy with that considering most of the afternoon hours were very short handed and slow, the evening turning into the usual Montana donkfest and then at one point ending up literally down to the felt.

(Note, I hate doing hand histories because I always **** them up. So, this is as cloase as I can remember this one hand and if there is something that does not make sense just ignore it and realize this is only close to the actual hand)
I was down to about $35 and was pulling out $50 to replenish my small stakes stack in case I run into a monster but am slow and the cards are in the air before I can complete the transaction. No problem, a guy two places to my right is straddling and unless I have something worth playing I am folding anyways. I look down and see AA.

Guy to my right calls the straddle, I raise the straddle, two people call my raise and the next guy reraises, the next guy raises again to cap it, straddler has to call (of course), every one, obviously including me, calls.

Flop comes something like K 10 crap with two clubs. First guy checks to me and I bet. Call, call, call, raise, re-raise, call, fold, I cap it a few folders now and a few callers still and I think I am still good but am wondering if I am getting myself into trouble.

Turn comes Jc. Crap, three to a flush three to a straight and I do not have a club! I decide I better slow down now since my aces are not looking as good. I check, couple more checkers, bet, raise, call and I am now stubborn enough to not want o get rid of these Aces so I reluctantly call and there are a couple of more callers. I figure I am now completely screwed but almost out of chips so **** it!

River brings another Ace! I have the set but it also makes any queen good for the straight and there are still 3 clubs out there, so I just check it. It checks around to the guy who raised the turn and he, of course, bets. Original straddler now folds, I wonder if I am just kissing $6 away but the pot is obviously too big to fold. I look at the guy who bet (who is a pretty good player FWIW) and he looks straight at me and just says "it just isn't right, is it". I figure he is no dummy. He knows I have aces and he knows he has me beat. I call a few folds to one other guy still in the hand and he thinks about it awhile (making me think I am actually in third place here) and folds. I look at the other guy and say, "is it a queen or the flush that beats me". He says neither and he turns over Kings, for a flopped set of kings. I happily, now, turn over the aces and drag a really nice pot!

Sick hand Fish. You took his words as indication of strength, when it was really the opposite. Both of you thought you were beat which is kind of funny. Surprised no one showed up with The Hoog (stupid name I gave Q2 after a hand on one of the TV tables during last years main event, in which some guy named Hoog took down a pot that had like 7 pf limpers from the BB with Q2 on x22 flop).

I was really surprised as well. The way this game plays it would have been totally possible for someone to have been in there with that.

I hate getting table talked.
just had a session where a guy just got into me. blleeeech
I've turned off chat before, but it just isn't the same. End up overlapping 2p2 on the chat box and just staying silent.

of course leaving + $$$ is best

Yes, I know how my smack talk can make even the bravest of hearts tremble.

It's not your smack talk that makes me tremble

It wasn't me Nut. Even though, I did find you the other day and silently rail you for a while.

Why, Nut, are you flirtin' with lil' ol' me?

you could have gotten a very good show, or a very bad one. had 2 monumental runs in the past week. how did I do?

A little fun never hurt no one.
Besides I heard it was cool in NYC . . .

Didn't really do much. I don't know if you busted or if you just left, but I only saw a few hands (mostly not involving you) and then when I checked back you had left the table. Wish I could have seen a sick run, but of course I probably would have said something then.

to give you an idea

Should have stopped at 4:45. Never seen a graph of money won vs. time, that's pretty cool. Was the big uptick one hand?

no it was about 100 hands at 1/2
