Any 2+2 enthusiasts trying today's 2:15PM - $350 event?

Let me know.

GolfPro

I am going to play the 215 pm. Will Have the echo limited tan top on.

While I agree that they made some basic errors, I found that for the most part they were on par with and in some cases better than what you see at the Borgata during the WPT or at the WSOP. Considering that this is their first time doing this I was happy to see they hired the travelling circuit dealers who are normally very competent.

I was at your table when the issue of the single chip being tossed onto the small blind came up. This is one rule that it seems only about 75% of the dealers and 25% of the players typically understand. They ultimately got it right, but I can see where it would be tilting for you because I think you limped from middle position and by having to correct (or not correct) the dealer on the error it can polarize your range.

What did you guys think about lucky fish. I heard he had the chip lead ending day one with 430kthe in chips.

He is a nice guy and was a lot of fun to play with. He has a weak grasp of nl fundamentals and generally plays by feel (and his feel is often wrong). He was also coughing without covering his mouth, which was annoying while sitting next to him.

Did they ever get a Single Table Satellite off? I signed up for several, but never got called for one?

Carlos, any chance you remember what you had on day 1 vs me? Flop was 10 8 8 two diamonds. Was limped Pre you were in SB I was in mid pos. You bet flop for a little over 2k, then 5k on turn which was blank i flatted both then you bet 13k on river which was Ks and i tanked and eventually folded. Would love to know. Lucky fish ko'd me a cpl hrs later with AQ>JJ aipf. Hopefully you remember hand. I folded J 10 just so u know.

I had 85o.

Carlos

Does anyone know how many runners they had for the HPO Main Event?
Thanks

144 .. paid 13. I came in 5th. They ran final table on Sunday. I busted at 1 am. Not sure if they were able to finish it, but they were going to try.

Fish is great! He had a great Day 1. Unfortunately, Day 2 didn't go his way .. tough table with Lee Childs and others. Busted before cash.

No ..never.

Honestly,

I really thought the dealers sucked. They were slow and had poor variation of hands dealt to the table. I played the 340 bounty event last Tuesday. I sat the same table for 7 hours which the lady in seat 9 got pocket Aces like 4 to 5 times. That is impossible and i noticed they never cut the cards either. The guy next to me in seat 6 got monster hands most of the day. I mean, i played good in the tournament and i cant deny that. I just felt if two seats kept getting cards back to back that lucky then i wont play next year. I personality like the charles town tables better because they come up with automatic shuffle in the table. Did you all see what i saw too?

We ended up chopping 3 handed half way through level 22 at around 1:30.

Carlos

Who went out 4th? and which seat were you in?

ha.. never mind .. I see that you're the one I barfed most of my stack into with the devil's hand .. AQ! That was the only decision I regretted the whole tourney .. other than that I was pleased with my other play and it was a personal best as far as finishes go for me in a $1k+ buy in.

Good game, sir! Look forward to seeing you on the felt again soon.

BTW .. who did go out 4th?

Thank you, And Congrats on your finish!!

Thank you.

Someone open a new gimmick account for April Fools Day?

Congrats Carlos. I'm the guy you busted 27th (me JJ, you 99, AIPF - you flop set, I turn straight, you river boat). Who were the others you chopped with? Played with you a bit day 1 and thought you played very well.

Nah, Klez i was being serious.

The odds of getting aces dealt to you is 220 : 1 but 5 times in a row to the same seat...it is statistical improbable. I do not think their was foul play in the tournaments, but i did follow some twitter accounts who did play in this tournament. The same person i am talking about made 3 final tables. It is like the dealers did not shuffle the cards and i asked for a wash and they said they could not do that.

Improbable yes, impossible no. Stick around long enough and you'll see all kinds of crazy ****.

yea, i saw some crazy in that tourney...maybe i will be happy to stick to the Charles Town local tournaments. They are fun and easy. I know the dealers were slow because i think we saw an average of maybe 10 hands per 30 minutes in the early rounds definitely. I think all live tournament need to have 30 to 1 hour blind structure. It is one of the things i miss about there being no online poker anymore.
