ok see ya at the tables, i hope they invited a lot of CardChat members,, the site is still a little slow, Nick will get it fixed>>>>>>>> buck

Myself and gord962 played a qualifier for the WCOP but alas did not make it. This was months ago and it is now over.

From PokerStars: "Congratulations to Team Poland for winning the 2006 World Cup of poker! Poland reached the finals with Teams USA, Canada, and Israel. In a tough four-way, tag-team battle, Poland emerged with the victory and claimed the World Cup title for its country. Visit the PokerStarsBlog for a recap of the action in Barcelona! "

So does just any site say they are running a "World Cup of Poker" or is there an actual official one?

edit: removed links

I see this morning that there not full, It does say Freeroll so maybe anybody can register, there are 4 tourneys, im in England vs Portugal, hey Rob, are you in this???>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. buck

Didn't realise it was a freeroll - i uninstalled CDPoker, but i'll enter - when is it? (deleted email).

Thanks Buck - just registered for the last 3 - freeroll night tonight!

Your welcome,, i figured you would like something like this,, did u register for 3 of them?? i thought you could only register for 1 tourney, >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> buck

The first one was full up (too early for me anyway), but you can register for all of them if they are still open (may well be full now). I've got 80p on CDpoker so i'll see if i can run that up on the micro tables at the same time. See you there!

Came 31st in the first one - laughed all the through it, it's identical to Titan (incredible small stack biased). I was out when i got my first biggie KK - when my raise was reraised i knew without a shadow of a doubt what i was up against, but i just had to call to satisfy my curiousity and call!

Making a run at the 2nd one now - already qualified for the semi's so we'll see how long i can stay awake!

Great at least you made it to the finals, that 1 BAD beat did it for me, finished 142nd,, good luck in the finals Rob, show em what cardschat is made of,, gl >>>>>>>>buck

I hope i get the ticket - qualified in the second one as well, and the email said you were only supposed to register for one!

I played and won a $1 Sng and a $2 H2H whilst playing these, and bumped my $1.50 up to $9!!

Congrats Rob on the success. Good luck in the finals

lol like Dora BTW!

She's my heroine - just a temporary avatar though until the football seasopn starts. Semi's next - looks like 200 playing in the first and 200 in the 2nd, with 50 from each reaching the final. I think i've qualified for both semi's so I should be able to make it (especially as there will be loads of sitouts).

The first game i played straight up - was on a very weak table and was able to chip away at the 2 chip leaders who kept calling then folding to a raise. The 2nd one I won an all-in 2nd hand, then was moved to a table where some guy who had already tripled up was going all in every hand - luckily he still had some chips yet when i got a hand to call him with. Then i was moved to a table with EIGHT sit outs - I didn't communicate to the other humanoid, but we soon started taking turns in raising - every time another human player entered the table, one of us took him out literally within 3 or 4 hands, and we were top 10 for 45 mins, but i got tired and bored and packed up once i got into top 100.

Well thanks to my pc throwing a hissy fit i couldnt get in to play so no chance of getting anywhere

Congrats to Rob on your placing

I too noticed they said only one tourney but i entered the Brazil one as well - but of course - 'computer said no'
