NBC Heads Up Qualifiers [Full Tilt Poker]

I've found entertaining Heads Up Shootout competitions at FullTilt ... Try them out. You could even pick up a nice piece of change if you make it through to the major tournament (Televised Heads Up Championship). (Located at "Play Money" Sit and Go table.)

That's interesting.. didn't know they were going on. I'll try it out when I can.

I see them but couldn't figure out how to register ... got a clue ?

they only run so many at a time, I am guessing you have to be pretty quick to get in one of these, similar to the antonius sng's or the poker after dark ones

Yeah, this is a great satellite tournament to the NBC's NATIONAL HEADS-UP CHAMPIONSHIP....

but it's going to be nearly impossible to win it... so, I see it more as a practice ground... for my real cash heads-up games... work on your game, and feel out some of the players early on...

I love Heads-Up... you got to stay on top of your game all of the time... one mistake could cost you the game... and the only one to blame here is yourself...

AWESOME!!! THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP.....HEHE.....LITERALLY......HEHE......ANYWAYZ I'M GONNA START PLAYING 'EM.......KUDOS

I just did this tourney.... took me about 2 hours to get down to the final 8....

I took down my last guy, with an all in... and catch my straight on the river....

but I eventually got knocked out in 4th place

I have a straight and the other guy got lucky and made a full house....

I'm in one of these right now.. just won 3 matches.. down to 32, now.

Yeah, you kind of have to be fast like the .COM PAD tourneys.. but it doesn't go quite as quick as they do. It fills up in about 5 seconds, as opposed to the 2 seconds that the .COM PAD tourneys take to fill up.

1 hour and 45 minutes into the heads up tourney.. just made it to the final 8.

Finished at 8th place.. was the first to be out in the Top 8. Had K/3 on the BB. Villain called SB, I checked. 6/K/6 came out. He ended up having a 5/6 with betting all through the river. I put him all-in, which left me with 60 chips at the end of the hand. I won 3 hands in a row to start my comeback, but then lost the 4th one.

I just played one and came in 7th place. Its a good way to practice and are fun to play.

I saw these sit&gos going on and thought too bad they don't give Full Tilt Points to the 2nd round. I guess it just makes you play to win.

Jumped in another game. Currently heading to the Top 64.

i will be playing in the round 2 heads up on saturday

my full tilt name is X_D3R3K_X

Yep. And even if you don't win its a very fun tourney. Play 3 or 4 at a time so the action is non-stop, and maybe one will take you to the semi-finals

I'm trying it, and down to 16 - well almost, the waiting for the other tables is the worst...
but way like the wsop sng's that run or pad...but why not

sweet i'm going to have to play some of these. i think that is one of the biggest weak points in my game.

I find them relaxing. I can actually watch a TV program waiting on rounds.

Gotta be the softest field of any FR's I've seen on the web.

I qualified for Saturday's session. I too found them relaxing; had two tables running at the same time, and still time to step away occasionally.

Wow thanks for this , im gonna try it out , thanks !

A few weeks ago I play HU final round i loss it. Its very sad.

Thanks!!!! These are great. In one right now down to 64!


Down to top 32!!!!!!!

Thats right more practice than anything else impossible to get all the way through it seriously you have a better chance getting hit by lightning

s like a lot of fun!! thanks for the info guys, i'll have to check this out : )

i have played the poker after dark ones before hahaha you gotta be QUICK! on the buttons to register...i would play those for fun have like 3-4 of them up at a time haha

These tournies are not as fast to register as ANTONIUS 180 man tournies but they fill up quickly..For some reason..I just love playing heads up and it really helps me practice my poker game..Play them and you'll understand..They pop up every 5 minutes so be alert and have fun..Maybe try and learn something too..Take Care

good job kenzie!

I did 4 of them last night had 2 top 8 finishes, 1 i donked in the first round, and one got to the final table only to get AA cracked by a flush on the river.

Sure was fun though!

Great job to those who've advanced to Round 2! Hopefully, I'll be joining you guys eventually! The best finish for me so far has been 7th place. It seems like it takes 2+ hours to get to the top 10.

The registration is similar to PAD series in that it's every 3+ minutes but doesn't fill up as quickly (thankfully!)

BTW, if you advance to Round 2, does that prevent you from playing Round 1 or can you still play? Basically, I want to know if you can accumulate the tickets to Round 2.

In the Real Money section, go to the Sit & Go section and you'll see a tab for Heads Up. If you rearrange the games by buy-in, the freeroll comes up in orange. You can access it from the Play Money section as well.

Hey guys im in the final on jan 4th

i played for 5 hours in the freeroll to the $100,000.000 holiday tourny and finished in 10th, unfortunatley only the top 3 get in..oh well back to the drawing board

Hey Bill,

Chin up I've had the same thing happend to me last year for the WSOP Main Event seat at UB I won 3 qualifying tournies to get to the Final one they were giving away 12 seats and I was in solid position with about 18 players left blinds were getting very big and I had pocket Aces and a fairly short stack player shoves all in preflop and I called him and he had mid pocket pair of course he caught on the river to save himself and it crippled my stack I couldnt survive the blinds and I hit a bad steak even if i got in with best hand I would lose. I went out 14th it was sooooo painful.

GL and I hope ya get another shot at a major event!

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeetest

yea they are pretty cool

Best i have placed was 5 place..Since then..I haven't gotten anywhere close

Has anyone won one yet? I made final 4 once and then got a bad beat...

Ive only played in like 6 though
