[aloevera]

gg PokerVic and ythelongface, still got 7 weeks of various events. Best of luck to you both

 

[Dwilius]

Only 950 in, this is a good deal. GL, Dakota. I'll wait for a game I can stand...oh, one a week. Guess I'll even play games I hate .

 

[ythelongface]

ty aloevera. best of luck to you too. should be fun.

 

[ryodejaneiro]

its not too bad. typically crazy early, but its very doable. i sadly came up short, but got 5 bucks. i finished 199/2385. it certainly didnt help that before break they put the biggest card rack i have seen in a while 3 spots in front of me. but i have something to build on. next week, i can go for the R2. best of luck to everyone. ohh, on a side not, i havent played limit holdem, in over a year, live or online, so i was pretty pleased.

Well what do ya know, I finished in 200th! LOL. Similar situation with you though - I really had not played limit in a long while til yesterday. This was my first pokerstars money finish, so it made me happy. I just wished that I could've played better early on so I wouldn't have been in such a bind down the stretch - late in the game, woke up with KK and JJ to keep myself in the top 250.

I'm railing, no chat allowed...go go go

 

[Dwilius]

I'm watching too, didn't realize no chat. How do they come up with these rules You can rail higher stakes but not freerolls or playmoney.

Here comes the bubble, Dakota is forced in with atleast one other, 52 left. Ouch, just out. GG, almost had the straight fill.

 

[ythelongface]

i guess they wanna prevent any distractions? im sure they have some official sounding reason for it.

 

[Poof]

only 395 in the 10:30 US one so far, 20 min till tourney I may do that one, lol alot less competition. I don't play limit but it can't be that much of an adjustment can it? lol I will see I guess.
Dakota how did you end up?
Jeez never mind looks like on the bubble, does that mean you cannot do the hold'em again?
And if you don't make it on the hold'em can you do the other ones?

 

[PokerVic]

That was a rough finish. I think you had to play the BB like that, knowing that you'd have the player to your left covered in the next hand.

 

[pantin007]

that is tuff, just came down to position which sucks
gg

 

[Debi]

Grrrrr!!!!! 51 sucks so bad lol. One more hand and I was in.

 

[aloevera]

wow debi you bubbled the 50 player...that sux...but got 5$ for your efforts, you'll get them next week gg

 

[Debi]

I wanted that badly for some reason. Oh well, will try again next week.

 

[Dwilius]

I'm in the next one. I don't see your name on the list, Pooffy. I dislike limit holdem, then make it a full table freeroll tourney...what am I doing
Its there now, good luck. Anyone else in?

 

[Poof]

lol good luck D'wilius lets take it down, lol I dont know what I am doing. It will be fun, can't be that much different. I think you can only bet as high as pot or something like that. lmao
770 something we can do this!

 

[aloevera]

I'm in the Canadian one...I absolutely hate limit with blinds every 5 min. Total crapshoot....Patience don't work in this one.

 

[Poof]

ohhh good to know tyvm Aloe, didn't realize its a time thang. lol this outta be interesting.
Is there a way to change your seat or do you have to sit where they put you?

 

[Dwilius]

How many in the Canadian one, and is it same places paid?
One bb bets first two streets, 2bb bets last two. 40/80 means 20/40 blinds. Four bets max per street, that's limit holdem .

 

[aloevera]

there was 903 compared to about 1400 in the earlier one....I just went out at 278th all in preflop JJ ss....I ran into KK

gl to all

 

[Poof]

Sorry to hear that, that stinks!
Can you play in others?

Only one per week were permitted to register too, it will be another type of game next week. Forget now...but could be stud or omaha etc

 

[Dwilius]

Turbo limit. Wow, this is crazy. Atleast it will all be over soon.

 

[Poof]

Turbo limit. Wow, this is crazy. Atleast it will all be over soon.

lmao that is one way to look at it, I am 232 out of 556.

Okay Aloe, so that means even if we bomb the limit we can still do the other games?
