who is the reigning champ, btw?
― I never saw the advantage of peeing while standing. (Upt0eleven), Thursday, 29 October 2009 14:25 (fourteen years ago) link
g00blar was the champ last time. (and some random g00lger came 2nd and i was 3rd i think but i knocked out mark c which was all i set out to do ;) )

I would like to play. I'll likely be badly hung over, so it will depend on the time. What time will the tourney start & what time is the deadline for registration?
― you just freaked out more than our director of lols (Pillbox), Friday, 30 October 2009 02:24 (fourteen years ago) link
lol I guess I need to read more thread titles. How much is the buy-in?
― you just freaked out more than our director of lols (Pillbox), Friday, 30 October 2009 02:27 (fourteen years ago) link
$5 + .50
― WmC, Friday, 30 October 2009 03:31 (fourteen years ago) link
i think you can pretty much register right up until the tourney starts, but i'd do it beforehand anyway so if you're a couple of minutes late you can still join in (maybe miss a couple of hands) rather than missing it altogether!

hopefully more will register late doors (if they haven't forgotten e.g. upt0eleven + mark c + pillbox perhaps??)

I've been playing mostly at Stars the last few months because FT is full of CRAZY PEOPLE, but I've had some luck at FT SnGs this week, including a win this morning.
― WmC, Sunday, 1 November 2009 14:54 (fourteen years ago) link
sorry, i'm out. being held hostage for tea by my folks so will be somewhere around birmingham new street at 9pm.
― caek, Sunday, 1 November 2009 16:35 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm pretty sure I don't have enough game for HU NL, Ken. If there aren't at least 4 playing at gametime, I'm probably going to withdraw. Sorry, hope you understand.
― WmC, Sunday, 1 November 2009 17:00 (fourteen years ago) link
no worries man hopefully folks will come out of the woodwork.. they're being very silent though!
― ken "save-a-finn" c (ken c), Sunday, 1 November 2009 17:19 (fourteen years ago) link
(if they haven't forgotten e.g. upt0eleven + mark c + pillbox perhaps??) - I'm down. Here's the thing, tho: I have a FT account, but I haven't been playing much & I don't currently have any IRL coinage on there at present. So I'd like to avoid the $50 minimum FT transfer b/c, in all likelihood, most of that will just sit there indefinitely. If any of you are willing to transfer me a smaller sum on FT, I could easily reimburse you through Paypal. I'll play either way but, yeah, would just feel more comfortable not having to drop the full $50 to do so. Hit me up w/ a webmail if you can help a brother out. Otherwise, I'll see yous on the felt.

― you just freaked out more than our director of lols (Pillbox), Sunday, 1 November 2009 19:54 (fourteen years ago) link
I've got to step out for a minute, but will be re-situated by 3:30. If I haven't heard from any of you about the transfer thing by 3:45, I'll go ahead & drop the $50 & sign up.
― you just freaked out more than our director of lols (Pillbox), Sunday, 1 November 2009 20:00 (fourteen years ago) link
Hi pillbox ill sort you out if I can. Just heading home now so webmail me your username

Pillbox, if I have any cash left at FT I'll sub you, let me check. (I'll ask Ken to sub me if not ;) )
Ah x-post. FAO Ken C!

im trying pillbox's account now, same result.
Ken C - webmail sent. If, for whatever reason, it doesn't come through, my FT id is Crazylegs Carl. $10-20 if possible, so I can maybe fool around a bit w/ some cash games post-tourney. I can have Paypal transfer to you immediately.

I wasn't available yesterday...maybe this Sunday, not sure.
For some dumb reason I've been sort of following this Isildur1 business on Full Tilt, and happened to be watching Saturday night when Ivey and Antonius took him down for $3.5M at PLO, including a $1.365M pot. Sick, mind boggling stuff.
Yesterday I did 2 things I'm very happy about: came back from an 11:1 chip deficit to win a heads-up SnG -- it gave me a good confidence boost about my ability to change gears midstream; and then spent a quality hour with my Poker Copilot stats and identified three very specific leaks in my game.

oooh is that free? i should have a look into mine i think there are definitely a couple of specific things that i'm doing wrong with and can do better.
― I sb'ed your mum (ken c), Monday, 23 November 2009 15:23 (fourteen years ago) link
No, it's $60. I got it when he was just starting out and it was $30, lucky me. It's a very good Mac-only analog to Hold'em Manager or PokerTracker -- stats, analysis, customizable HUD, etc.

i didn't eat until midnight in the end, actually - my plan since i busted out early was to take another load of stuff from my old flat to the new, and then get a KFC or something after off loading - but my car ran out of petrol half way to the new place, i got the bus to a petrol station to get a hand held tanker worth of petrol and that was fine, then i drove on back to the petrol station to fill up proper by which time for some reason the police was holding up the whole station, and i was stuck at this massive queue and couldn't drive on!! (should have wandered in to get a ginsters pastie really) by the time i was done and finished unloading it was like 3 hours later! all the while dying of hunger. pity me. who won then?

Guys dunno if tourney ID is the same everytime, but it's been set up as a recurring tournament so just look for the game that's on at 16:00 ET on sunday for £5+0.5 and you should find the ILX pwn cup straight away!
Should be on for this Sunday unless I do make it to ATP (in which case will probably be playing st3v3 a1b1n1 again....)

whenever this happens to me, I stick with play-money tournaments for an evening -- partly to let the variance run its course while my bankroll isn't at stake (I know this makes almost no logical sense), but mainly to reboot emotionally.

― wanna be shartin' somethin' (WmC), Sunday, 10 January 2010 22:44 (fourteen years ago) link
i quite liked the rebuy option, i think, guys, what do you think? I thought it made the game a little more epic in the end, more chips to play with, etc.. and good to have the "second chance". only thing is it was obv a bit more costly than before - shall we keep it?
― The smile on my face, disguises the case, I bury the truth deep down in (ken c), Sunday, 10 January 2010 22:45 (fourteen years ago) link
it was a great game.. WmC built up a massive chip lead that stayed for almost the whole game until the end, good plays the whole way from everyone until the bubble where it got super tense for about 2 levels. and then the heads-up WmC fought back from a deficit to take it down in the end AJ v A9!

The ILX tournaments are probably my most successful poker playing. Probably because everybody's playing civilized cards and not aggro-monkey high-speed chicken. In fact, it's possible that I'm seen as the aggro-monkey.
What stakes do you have to get up to lose the maniacs? Or are they at all buy-in levels?
― wanna be shartin' somethin' (WmC), Wednesday, 13 January 2010 00:24 (fourteen years ago) link

I've finally realized that anything with quicker than 6-min. levels is just stooopid (for me). I like Stars' structure better, with 10-minute levels.
― wanna be shartin' somethin' (WmC), Wednesday, 13 January 2010 00:38 (fourteen years ago) link
like to think that quicker the structure, more it has to do with luck, less ROI, more rake to the pokersite.

srsly i had a $70 downturn the week before last. playing absolutely stinking poker too (i was so desperate for good cards when i had some i keep playing them too hard, going for too many coinflips and it was a vicious circle). playing these ilx games is actually quite therapeutic, actually playing with people you know rather than faceless fulltilt accounts really put the game back in the correct perspective

I haven't, Wm - is there any genuine appeal, or is it just gimmicky? On FT I only play these ILX tourneys so my payroll is under $100...
― Mark C, Monday, 25 January 2010 02:16 (fourteen years ago) link
It seemed gimmicky at first but after a week it seems truly brilliant. I can't play it -- I'm not a ring game player anyway, and I don't have the iron will needed to figure out a plan and stick to it. But I'm reading about people who are counting their winnings in buy-ins per hour, not big blinds per hour. Meanwhile FT is hauling in tons of extra rake.

ooops.
xpost played rush twice so far, got two buy-ins back within 10 minutes (then chickened out). I really don't know why it's so fishy whether it's new at the moment - or that it's like people don't realising they're losing loads of cash because they aren't seeing the same people they're playing each hand as a comparison with themselves.

Hey Snrub! Your stack is diminishing!
― Mark C, Sunday, 31 January 2010 21:21 (fourteen years ago) link
i don't like this game.
all in top pair to a flush draw, which i bluffed getting but mark did get. then i fail to rebuy 'cause i can't see where the button is. (i clicked the auto-rebuy thing in the bottom right, saw the timer clicking down but nothing saying REBUY Y/N?!??!)

As I was telling Mark, I'm probably done with real-money online poker for a few months except for the PWN CUP. I have no idea how to play against those aggromonsters.

good game though. next time you are all gonna get fucked!

I deposited $30 when we restarted these games 3 months ago, and only playing these games I'm up to $97 :)
Yeah, Ken, that was an odd hand, unless you think Rock's a bluffer (and have you EVER seen him show down a crap hand?)...

― The smile on my face, disguises the case, I bury the truth deep down in (ken c), Sunday, 31 January 2010 22:49 (fourteen years ago) link
wait no it should make up $5..
Almost every single time I play against non-ILX people, I make money. Just now, for example, I doubled my $20 buy-in in about 15 minutes. Every single time I play in the PWN cup, I lose $5-10 dollars. This stark difference can only be because...
a) you guys are way too goodb) I have had a horrible run of luck in the PWN cupc) I'm not very good at tournament style poker (other than the PWN cup, I usually play ring games where you can come and go as you please, and the blinds don't go up over time)d) the curse of catbeast
My brain tells me it's probably c), but my heart tells me d)
― CATBEAST!! (Z S), Sunday, 31 January 2010 22:51 (fourteen years ago) link
I used to beat fairly consistently the $20 sngs when I played regularly, but that hardly makes me 1337. Ken is an awesome live player but I think he gets bored online. And Rock is a machine, with very few chinks.
re c), yes, it's a different skill for sure, and if you're not prepared to adjust your game as the blinds go up (especially versus other players who do), you'll probably underperform as things get interesting in a tourney,
― Mark C, Sunday, 31 January 2010 22:54 (fourteen years ago) link
actually is it possible to run private ring games?
might be fun to do if we can also keep the buy in real low as a once a month special instead of usual tourney..
― The smile on my face, disguises the case, I bury the truth deep down in (ken c), Sunday, 31 January 2010 22:54 (fourteen years ago) link
would guess (c), though I'm just the opposite (prefer tournaments, miserable failure at ring)

I think it helps that I've mostly played Limit instead of NL the last year and a half, but I'm not sure how it helps. Maybe that I've seen a lot more postflop play than you guys?
― the end times are coming, but they're just the beginning (WmC), Sunday, 31 January 2010 22:58 (fourteen years ago) link
i think playing limit helps a lot to focus on the odds which many NL players don't pay enough attention to at times?

― The smile on my face, disguises the case, I bury the truth deep down in (ken c), Sunday, 31 January 2010 23:03 (fourteen years ago) link
I think that's right. I know it keeps me from being too in love with my pocket pairs -- in limit, when there's no way to chase people away from the pot preflop and my QQ-KK-AA is up against 4-5 villains, I've learned the hard way not to get too tilted when they're cracked.

Crap, I forgot about having to arrange things with the FT poobahs. The regular time can work for me if it's a hassle to change it. What I have in mind to cook that day is going to be 'set it up early and let it cook itself'.

― Mark C, Wednesday, 3 February 2010 15:33 (fourteen years ago) link
it's not really such a hassle - just need to send an email to them.
easiest actually is just to ask them to create a new standalone one (3pm) for this week only and we just make sure none of us sign up to the 4pm one by accident.
― The smile on my face, disguises the case, I bury the truth deep down in (ken c), Wednesday, 3 February 2010 17:42 (fourteen years ago) link
if we do perhaps we should make this one a proper freezeout so it's over quicker?
The game doesn't start until an hour after last week's tourney ended, so no need for that.

Question for Mark and Ken and anyone else with opinions on MTT SnGs: I played a few 45s and one 27 this weekend and cashed in 3 of 8, no wins. Do you guys pay any attention to % in the money, or is it all about ROI? If the former, is there a number you shoot for?
― blow it out your bad-taste hole (WmC), Monday, 15 February 2010 18:24 (fourteen years ago) link
I just tighten up a bit before the bubble as there's no point in busting out one or two short of the money with marginal hands. Once you're in the money, though, you have to take calculated risks as the high paying places are so much more profitable than the mid-low ones.
I've won a couple of 45-man tourneys (but none with more players) and you have to play with balls, keep an eye on stack sizes and grab opportunities whenever you can.
In other words, it's all about ROI. Don't bust on the bubble, but don't play scared.
― Mark C, Monday, 15 February 2010 22:01 (fourteen years ago) link
WmC, have you thought about doing a few heads up tourneys to improve that aspect of your game? I think you're maybe a bit conservative at times and it might help you loosen up.
― Mark C, Monday, 15 February 2010 22:07 (fourteen years ago) link
I've thought about it -- it's a little daunting though, the prospect of getting all or nothing. The funny thing is, in Limit SnGs (STT) I'm pretty strong when we get down to 2- and 3-handed. I have as many wins as I have 2nds + 3rds combined. But you're right, I do tighten up a bit too much in NL -- still getting the lay of the land.
Today I was reading Shaun Deeb's Beginner's Guide to 180s and going "hmmmm" a lot.
― blow it out your bad-taste hole (WmC), Monday, 15 February 2010 23:28 (fourteen years ago) link

― The smile on my face, disguises the case, I bury the truth deep down in (ken c), Monday, 15 February 2010 23:44 (fourteen years ago) link
although i'm no good usually. at the bubble it depending on how the other players play, i guess, usually tighten up and also encourage people to go at each other (and for a 3 places paid go harder at the player with the medium stack as they have the most to lose and tend to get softer)

greeting from las vegas!
god it has been fun. it's my final day i think it's just about right as i'm exhausted!!
played a couple of tourneys at the caesars palace a lot of fun but no winnings. turned to the student oriented casino "o'shea's" and found the going much easier and chopped between top two for $270.
Today I had the weirdest two hands - first hand, the ace was spade was exposed for one dude. I had QQ and guy immediately before me raised with a short stack (reckoned i stood a good chance with one A gone) and I put him all in, turned out we both had QQ. But sickeningly 4 clubs showed on the showdown and I won, felt a bit ill and think that I had used up all my luck
Very next hand, I was big blind (there's 50 ante and it's 100/200) everyone folded except chip leader small blind who flat called, i had 4 6 and flop was 7 5 10, he raised minimum and i called, turn was 8, he raised again and I went all in, he had 7 5 and I made the low straight, he called and the 7 came on the river.
I had no cause to complain given the immediately previous hand but it is a funny game isn't it? Walked out of Caesar's Palace into the sunshine, think it might be my last game of this trip (down $65 overall due to an ill adviced cash game while i was drunk and waiting in the queue for the cheap steak at Bill's). Reckon if I ever go again I'll have to go with someone else as all the ups and downs is really hard when you're on your own!

final flutter this morning at the oshea again before i left and chopped another at the top for $120, which left me annoyingly $5 down overall in the end. it has been fun though although definitely had enough for the time being now. i will miss the free drinks when i get back to a uk casino (i was knocking back long islands at the caesar's game)
