If you fold here, your M will drop to barely above 2 and you will be the small blind, and after that your M will be below 1.5. QJo is playable for a triple up. Pokerstove not needed.

If, and ONLY if, it is the bubble, and you stand a decent chance of getting in the money, or jumping up a rung on the pay ladder should you , IMO, even consider missing this opportunity.

Tried to help you out but when I went to open Stove it said my version expired and said to go to the site to get the newer version. Seems their site is down also.

Is it working fine for anyone else?

Their domain expired awhile ago, but you can still find it in the Wayback Machine:

http://web.archive.org/web/20130118031927/http://www.pokerstove.com/blog/downloads/

1.24 was the last version released, yours must have been older because mine still works. Although there are better options out there IMO.

Actually, scratch that. When I last gave that link to someone a few weeks ago, the download link still worked. I just tried and now it does not.

If you can't find it elsewhere I can host it for you temporarily.

Live day started out with me doubling up with QQQQ vs a non believer. That and 2 other hands were all I saw as the victim of my quads did the slow recovery and finally killed me, before the color up. Lesson would be to always kill any live tourney opponent we can, but he had me covered on the QQQQ hand and survived with less than 1K chips in a 5K chips (starting) game.

Went and made my buy-in back at the Stud8 game.

Ran into a situation maybe someone can help explain. There was a hand where I was the bring in, and only one player called, and he had the high card and before the 4th street card he offered to chop, I said sure, then the table told me I needed to muck my hand, the other guy would win the hand, then ship me my chip and 1/2 the ante's back. Small hand yeah, but I had never seen this happen this way, and a very brief explanation included stuff like I needed to muck before the 4th street card, and I had to do it fast as the dealer was under no obligation to play along with us.

I was getting tired, my blood sugar was low, and it confused me. Anyone got the lowdown on that? Bicycle Club game.

Live tilt!

O8 tourney, blinds just got large. 4 players in the pot, 1 is all in and 800 short of that round, so effectively there is a side pot.

But that all in guy loses, 2 split low, 1 hi winner. One of the low guys goes ballistic not realizing that with no betting after the round the out guy made, it becomes a simple split 1/2 hi, 1/4 each low...normal, but this chump decides he needs to teach every one involved, how things are supposed to work, including the dealer and the TD. Well the TD taught him the lesson, but in the meantime, the 15 minute blind disappeared. In another life I would have smashed the putz into a toilet.....

Went and played the Hustler tourney today. Different structure, sort of feeders to the big game on Wednesday. In this one, 36 get paid, and 18 of those move on.
I ran into my own person luckbox, I tied one hand with him and then lost 3 or 4 races till he killed me before the money. I had read him perfectly, but he kept luckboxing me... Tilted me the whole drive home. However, the big game is gonna be so juicy, that I may very well try again. Looks like it will be 150 ish players and $200K (guaranteed), for the $180 entry into the feeders with some cash coming back from the feeder. Very tempting....

If we had that live gaming section, I could easily add a review of the Hustler casino....alas, I will have to dig around and find it to complete my reviews of the L.A. area tourney rooms.:(

Had a very odd grind day today.
Only won small and not so much, but for some reason didnt wager as much as anticipated so still on the plus side.

What's with your username PO?

Also, anyone heard anything from Party, have they made an announcement anywhere?

A guy I was coaching for MTT's awhile ago, would rail a bunch of my MTT's. Logged onto Everest one day before session, they changed networks & needed me to put in a new sn. I knew buddy/student would be railing later that morning & he'd previously had a beef with CC member 'JamesDaBear' (to the point of driving him absolutely insane!)... hence why I came up with this sn (JameDaBearFunz).
Also, anyone heard anything from Party, have they made an announcement anywhere?
No. But I think they've refunded my buyins to my account.

Fack! Just busted out of my last tourney on final table bubble :(
($10-$5,000GP iPoker)

Thinking of depositing a little more money into my carbon and bovada account maybe 50 each to increase my br and challenge myself to stay at the same levels untill i'm well into a BR that can manage the next levels if I just start to get smacked down quick... hopefully not but we shall see. Wish me luck in the 5dollar tournies

You're gonna play $5 tournies with a $50 bankroll? You'll need that luck.
