ILX POKER TOURNAMENT #7 (?) Sunday 1st Nov 2009 4pm ET/9pm GMT

No posting, I just lurk and try to learn despite the impenetrable jargon.

We have it set up for every Sunday, but don't always play. We skipped last week.

you should play next time lamp! although i'm not sure when the next time will be now we're getting into jesustide.

surely that's just more time at home?

(bored?)

how can every single person chasing a straight/flush always get it??? perhaps 6th time this week, calling ridiculous amounts chasing a few cards on the river and getting them.

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.

I have registered and I'll be down to play next time everyone else does

who's in tonight?

AA busted by QK. i really should quit

played a live tournament last night and was on the winning side of those hands.

Could be, could be...

ok.. anyone else in?? i need to decide on dinner plans guys.

I think I can probably play! I was pretty sure I couldn't because of work deadlines, but I put in no-bullshit sessions last night and this morning and am all caught up until tomorrow a.m.

sweet

not tonight, i'm afraid.

so is it just us three tonight?

I would like to play.

I just installed Full Tilt last week, so I'll have to figure out where to enter in the tournament ID, but I should be free whenever you guys want to play tonight.

Tournament is scheduled for 1600 US eastern time, 50 minutes from now. Tournament ID is 124813535.

From the main lobby, go Tournaments > Private. See the 1st post in this thread for tourney password.

Got it, I'm registered.

Am in but I'm feeling queasy.

ah good best get dinner now then see y'all in 30 mins.

whois johnnyshape?

I was wondering that myself.

ah that's my friend john s - he played with us a few weeks back

oh yeah, I knew that name sounded familiar for some reason

What a stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid shove.

CAMPIONES CAMPIONES OLE OLE OLE!

what was the last hand? FT crashed when I tried to look at it

That was pretty epic.

btw I'd support a buy-in next time - I might not use it but it's nice to have the option.

ahhh last hand

nice

hand played itself really...

ok if everyone agrees i'll try and get fulltilt to change the game into 1 rebuy maximum?

ok by me

yep, fine w me. sorry i didn't make it.

cool ill email them tomorrow

i fear that this will just encourage me even more with my "10 2 wins every hand" frivolity

OK all done - one addon is now allowed - the only downside is that OMG the rake has gone up by $0.5 as a result zomg.

tournament id 127248815

twenty percent rake holy crap ;_;

it's always this way though - guess the idea is that with the extra re-buy potentially we can all just be playing effectively $10+0.5 otherwise.

can play tonight if anyone is about!!

i'm out until at least jan 24 : (

no chance of me installing full tilt on my parents' creaky old machine.

I'm having second thoughts about the rebuy. $11 is almost a fifth of my puny FT bankroll thanks to a downswing this week.

yeah - although the idea really is that you shouldn't be using the rebuy unless you bust out early!

didn't think an xmas game would happen - next weekend perhaps! guess we should give the rebuy at least a try before we change it back though.

Hey you guys - how's tonight looking?

I'd be willing to play.

I think I can make it -- I should be done with the labor intensive part of bread baking by then.

Sweet. Any more?

Guys, am only person registered. Sghall we aim for next weekend instead?
