I wanna play the sunday second chance...

$215 buyin - waaaaaaaaaay outta my BR.
me likey pokaz tho...

So what I've decided to do is start a thread where if 7 ppl tell me i'm crazy and shouldn't do it I won't, but any less and I will coz I is crazy. 15 mins till the start -- get posting ppl!!



---------------------
Mixed message from bd lol I guess I'll count it though:

Running tally: 5

dont do it jake, when i won the 1600 hundred i cashed out a grand and donked off the rest in stakes way above what I shouldve done,,,,but it was funnnn,,,but it was wrongggggggggggggg...but i would do it again....but you shouldn't...but if you want to promise you will only do it this once lol...now what did I advise you to do cause i forgot already

Do it, reward yourself for good play last night, you can afford a one shot deal with over 3k

<3 inscore (not what you were meant to say lol).

DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*tells you you're crazy and you shouldn't do it*

The way I see it, what the hell? Actually, I wuld have played the Warm-Up or Million. If this is just gonna be a one time thing buying into a tournament at this high of a stake, then take your chance

Finally a sensible person! POST not long left ahhhhhhh!!!!

I'm not going to say either way, it's your choice. You're a good poker player and you've got a shot to win a lot more money. On the other hand, make sure you're ok with losing $200. It's real money, regardless of how you won it. It's your decision to make.

But me hatey decisions.......

Hence thread

do not i repeat do not do it ...dont do it...did i mention not to do it?
seriously though...ii know a lot of people who would see this that would say the same thing and it looks like the majority are lol!

i'm so tempted to modhax every post in this topic into "you're crazy and you shouldn't do it"

nooooooooooooo! stop, think br management.

EDIT: looks like you're going for it. So gogogogogo JT!

I dont really understand waht the problem with playin it is, he has enough to take a shot at it, its just a one time thign

It's your money, but I'd say don't do it.

I've won similar sums in MTTs and they are necessary to sustain you through the crushing variance.

1k goes very quickly if you play even the $33s and above if you are not careful.

Play a few satellittes instead would be my advice and qualify for next week that way.

You worked hard for the cash don't blow it.

Well since according to the title you do want to play, I say go for it. As long as when your AA gets busted by 77 and you lose your $200 entry fee you don't go on tilt and hit the high limit tables or enter another high-stakes tourney.

If you're strong enough to only do it the once, go for it, otherwise don't...

but is it really going to be just a one time thing? slippery slope imo, poker is littered with donkament players who've hit big scores then donated it all back in the following few weeks.

oh shiiiittt.

wtf? Why are you sitting out?

Right choice IMO, if just for one try, its well worth it, plus a chance at another huge score

That is soooooo me .

Okay, time's up and I've registered taking everything into account that you've all said. Rex is obv a rounded tourney grinder so advice is most relavent, but I decided I can take this one shot and withdraw less into the real world.

Ty all, keep posting opinions if you want as well.

disconnected? Withdraw and pay for a better connection IMO.

First of all. Good luck in the tourney, I've played these a fair bit and the key is to stick to your game but adapt to the deeper stacks and better structure.

Forget about the money, it's done now so give it your best.


I'll happily talk to you about my bankroll management in relation to whatever funds you leave on line, but for now glglglglgl.

Don't do it Jake, you're nuts. Oh wait, you did it then can't be found? Did u do your meds this morning Jake, do you remember that you are supposed to do your meds every morning Jake? Jake wake up!, OH, you did the whole bottle of meds at once?

Never mind...............

I'd be careful about the chat identifying you as scared money.

OWN THAT TABLE

ok I know I said nice on that table but that was an interesting play with 42. Call a raise and then check it down when you hit bottom pair? Also I'm assuming decent players so the image comment in the chat probably shouldn't have happened. They noticed the 42 and put in their notes "total donk, called preflop raise with 42 and then checked it down". You want that image, but when you say it's about image you appear like a smarter player. Also I apologize I probably shouldn't have put the lol in that comment, I'll stop chatting for now unless it's just strictly a nh or something.

You'll notice that I open-limped from ep with 42s, then the next time I open limped in ep (appearing all donkish and shiz) I like totalz 3-bet pf (had KK). That crazy 42 hand did have a purpose although obv I coudn't have hoped for exactly that .

With the 42 all eyes will indeed be focussed on you

I'm not aware of sats to this? Which means that unlike the Sunday Mill which has ton of donks, they have all at least got the money to buy-in direct.

Doesn't mean they are good but the fish quotient should be lower.

Really? No sats? Wow that's incredibly helpful info that I didn't know at all about. Tyvm rex.

Right, but you needed a cheap showdown which you got. Not a horrible play, I just didn't like the comment at the end that it was about image. You want to look like a donk, a donk does not talk about table image in a tournament. Again partly my fault for the comment.

well seeing that u did end up playing, me saying that u should not have played would not make a difference{altho i would have GAMBOOOL i dont suggest u do}

so good luck jake and may u walk away with a nice cash

I hear what you are saying Jake, but against decent opposition they will not assume that you have nothing when you play, as anyone can pick up a hand. If I saw you play the 42 so passively (with no cbet after calling pf rase) then when you woke up post flop on another hand I'd expect you to have something decent.

Good start though

I could well be wrong here, I've never looked for them...

Anyone?
