Sunday Million

It looks like in this weeks Sunday Million they are paying about 20-25% of the people and they usually only pay about 12-15%. Must be a special for the 10 billionth hand. Good day to play if you just want to make the money. I got 36th place last week and hopefully this time I will do a little better. Good luck to anybody that is playing today.

Good luck

Mischman and Joose are playing it.

both busto :/

4 people at my table were severe calling stations. my only hands were 99 AQ TT nothing materialized for the AQ, my 99 was folded PF because of a raise and reraise and my TT shove ran into jacks.

i jsut suck @ life

I feel your pain. I suck at life too. I spent $250 today trying to get into the FTOPS main event to no avail. I do believe I need to stick to the cash tables.

I played pretty awful today. On the second hand I let my pocket aces lose to qj, he raised me on the flop after he hit a jack, and for some reason I didn't re-raise him, then he caught a straight on the river and took 1/3 of my stack. I stuck around for a little bit but could never really get back into the game and went out in around an hour and half in the tourney.

I was going to play, but had to run out real quick, by the time I got back it was too late, oh well. Anyone still in from CC?

Heres a real shocker for you that just took place at the sunday millions. Runner runner ruination or what? even at 3-1.

lol, same table i was railing. Weird.

And somewhat spooky.

Don't feel bad, joose and mischman. I see from the rankings that you both finished ahead of 'apestyles' who is one of the most dominant tournament players in the world. No shame there.


And I'm sure you didn't play any hands worse than Gus Hansen just did in the FTOPS Main Event to cripple himself after he was in the top 50 with about 350 left:

i just sat and waited for something to happen. couldnt bluff to buy a pot either, i literally had 4 people at my table with 50% showdown rate that would call down with nothing.

I swear gus plays online just to advertise a maniacal image...I've seen the weirdest plays from him, both cash and tourney...

His call is ok since he's getting almost 2:1, but I don't like the raise with Q9o when you're in great shape (M>20) and a play like this just jeopardizes your stack when someone comes over the top and you're effectively priced in.

I had Katya Thater at my table, speaking German the whole time. You'd have thought she'd know the rules of her own site

No gossip to report, apart from the fact that apparantely she has never read a poker book in her life.
