US vs. Canada tournaments on pokerstars

[deadhxc]

So all these qualifiers are freerolls? and we can do one each week right?

What if you qualify in every game you play (just saying) do they have finals or something for each style of poker you qualify for? also where does the 5$ money start? I will jump in one tomorrow i think

 

[Dwilius]

I'm dumb, I didn't realize how close I was to the money when I went allin with an Ace. That's all I was shooting for was the money, then didn't pay attention...This was a good chance to win too, I'll bet the fields will grow significantly as more people find out about these.

 

[Poof]

Dammit went out loke 262 and ITM was 250. I played a stupid hand earlier which killed me. I am going to do some ring games on bodog and take out my frustrations,lol or get my butt kicked for being on tilt.

 

[Wonka22]

I'm in this now...a bit short stacked...the blinds are killer, but i'm in the top 90 right now......GO ME!!!!!!!

They also shut off player chat at least in the final 100....bah....

 

[Poof]

Good luck Wonka!!! Someone has to make it for the US, that is who you are playing for? If not go anyway for CC!!

 

[Kenzie 96]

Well didn't finish in the top 50, but made $5 so I can afford to play again next week , tough luck there XX.

 

[Wonka22]

I'm playing now...blinds are 4k 8k i have like 13k.....47 out of 65

6.5k on the bubble I think that I'm in 45th spot......

Few minutes ago, I had 13k, raised from 4k to 8k, and my internet connectiom crapped out......came back to an empty seat...LOL

THEN!!! a new table opened up...i'd been moved....LOL

Were you in the 8:30 game with me?

I checked the email that pokerstars sent me - I was in the 8pm game.

It sucks that you finished 51st but on the positive side, you made the money if that's any consolation. My friend said he busted after his opponents hit a full house back to back. At least we were fortunate enough to do better than him!

Next up 7 card stud! I've never played this game long enough to do well, so I guess I'll go practice with some play money.

This was a good chance to win too, I'll bet the fields will grow significantly as more people find out about these.

Couldn't agree more. These freerolls are a real nice way to start a BR.

Huh?

Limit? Limit?? They have LIMIT hold 'em??? Guess I'll give 'er a shot!! Who ever heard of such a thing?? Limit hold'em---What'll they think of next??:questionm USA vs canada :beer: Guess I'll try and get in the 20:00 game! GL to us!

 

[blade1984]

these is a cool thing but i would like to see the final table be played live somewhere the top 5 for each country i think that would be better so you can go in person and root for your country live :icon_sant

 

[moots]

I played the limit one last week. I didn't finish in the top 50, but made the top 200, so I got $5. Going to try and qualify this week.

 

[mobster850]

is the tournament a freeroll or must you pay to play? what does the field consist of? Half US vs. Half Candians?

 

[Monoxide]

Hmmm i played the limit one thats running now, came in 62nd....boo, not top 50.

Still got a shiny $5, would have rather got the qualifier ticket

 

[CAPT. ZIGZAG]

Where is it located on Poker Stars under special tab or what?

It under the "tourney"---> "Regional" tab.

Has any CC'er placed in the top 50 yet?
I still haven't played in it. I think I'm gonna wait till Wednesday, the numbers may be lower then.
I'm gonna place in the top 50. Gotta represent CC well (even though this is about the US and Canada, not forums, haha)

 

[shinedown.45]

For those interested, here's the event list

 

[kozlo6pack]

Well I made 5 bucks , maybe the next one I will get a ticket........lol

 

[earache]

played it and made 5, wish i had it on full tilt though. if you want an easy 5 to play around with this is a sinch. will play next week too. good luck.

 

[god1419]

Welp, here I go, registered for the latest one tonight. It's starting in 7 minutes, only 333 registered so far. I'm expecting to finish top 50, otherwise I'll be disappointed. I'll keep you guys updated on how things are going. Anyone place top 50 yet??

 

[nateogreato]

I played in one of these. Was an easy $5 whoooooosh.

 

[chipchart]

For the next week do people think that it will be smarter to wait until like the last day to play? Do you think there will be less people, or do you think more people will have found out about it? Because if judging by god1419 post than it sounds like there was less people by the end of the week, as when I played there was over a 1000?

 

[PokerVic]

Yeah, my game had like 1300 players. I'm going to be looking for a smaller field this/next week. Been playing at the HORSE ring tables lately, for practice.

 

[god1419]

I'm sure that over the next few weeks, people will catch on and start to play later in the week, so there will be equal amounts of people in each. That's just my opinion though. I think that everyone was just excited about this new thing, so everyone gave it a shot right away. I don't remember the exact number of entrants in mine, but it was somewhere in the high 400's/low 500's, so way over half less than what you guys played against. Placing in the money was simple. Top 50 was harder, I finished 78th, losing with my AQ to a J10
