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

also folks we should perhaps all recruit 1-2 guys each to this so we can have a decent pool of players for each week if poss cos it works much better when it's just on all the time rather than have to rally each week

Guys, can we start thinking about Sunday evening's tourney? Maybe we can even get a second table up and running? I'm in - who else? Anyone who hasn't played before interested, wants info, has questions?

ill be there (i think i still have a fiver left on the account after recent bad runs :((( )

I'll sub you if you need it, Ken :)

would love to but am still on the road. maybe next weekend.

Bump in case others are keen.

I'm in this week. I don't know anyone else at all who might play though. Guess I could email Pleasant Plains again.

will try, but ain't promising.

(meaning i'm not committing, rather than the outlook is not good)

Why aren't you committing? Fucking men.

"Fucking men" wasn't my suggested answer btw

it's not you, it's me.

hmmm - this is the first i have ever seen of this thread and am intrigued.
alas, not sure if i'd be around sunday, but this def sounds cool.

Ah well, keep it in mind. We've had a number of successful tourneys so far, albeit with a small number of people (the last few have averaged about 6), and there's TOP BANTER.

shall i give andre and john s a buzz?

andre may be a bit too broken after bubbling at a 18 player re-buy tourney a couple of weeks back though :\

so what's the dilly-o with expenses for this site and the tournament? can you sign up, put in $5.50 (?) and win the tournament and then cash all the money out??? no other charges?

I can't join this time but maybe next time

Minimum initial deposit $10 (min. $50 after 1st time), minimum withdrawal (US players) $100.

are we on for tonight?! I've just registered.

yes.. once i have deposited money :/

Am in. That's 3 signed up already!

im playing worse than i have ever played at the moment so you guys are in for a chance..

THANK GOD

I got a 1st, a 2nd and a, uh, last in three nine-handed tourneys yesterday, so I'm doing okay.

ok, signed up

am in a very weird poker headspace right now -- last or first seem equally likely

STAY OFF MY LAST SPOT IT'S MINE!!

About to warm up with some hell of hardcore heads-up madness. Or possibly a cup of tea.

I'm in. What is the tournament ID?

129912473

Bubbled in my first practic tourney, after sucking out three times. Not overly encouraging...

ok i'm, fwiw (not much)

Sweet! I am playing like an arse, and drinking wine.

My main new strategy this week is not to be completely CRUNKED before the tournament begins.

I am watching the NFL game to get myself PSYCHED. Imma crush all y'all!

my neighbour just offered me free wine! this is a conspiracy i tells ye.

but i have had dinner fyi

congrats to RH!

wow, still adrenalined up

good game all

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?

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!

couldn't believe what I was seeing today, I had AKo or KK six times in the first 25 hands

and I must remember not to accidentally rebuy next time before i need it!!

obv the rebuy worked for me today, A++++ would play again

i dunno about rebuys, something a tad galling about someone you've knocked out jumping right back in. otoh i made it to the money anyway!

i think the game on sunday has done me good. or maybe just reloading so i have some bankroll.

my game has calmed down and i don't get agitated when i lose with decent cards or whatever. came 2nd and 1st now (after the 2nd on sunday).. hopefully this will mean a swing back to the up!!!!!

certainly paying attention to what other players are doing helps (rather than playing scrabble on the other window)

fwiw, I should be up for regular tourneys again as of this Sunday. lookout!

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?

i dunno, i definitely feel happier when i play $10+1. whenever i start on $5 and lower people start to annoy me and i go on tilt cursing everyone chasing lost causes and finding them
