Game: No-limit texas hold'em
Number of Entrants: 137
Top Ten Places Paid:
1st $3082
2nd $2055
3rd $1284
4th $976
5th $822
6th $667
7th $513

Re: [Poker] \o/ HURRAH \o/
ive been playing 6 seater 10$ turbos on Pacificpoker
up about 50 bucks now but it takes awhile. 1st only pays 30$ so its only 19$ profit.
think ill start playing in 10 seater ones soonish and maybe enter a few 30$

Re: [Poker] \o/ HURRAH \o/
I play a fair few sit&go's too. I much prefer 6 seaters over 10 seaters, though - Chance of winning is just that much higher.

I watched him play. That was a damn good game, and a sweet way to earn $3k.

$3552.35 profit.
Learning to play with the big boys was an expensive business which ate up alot of my previous winnings.
The money should start coming alot easier now tho :)
BTW thanks to all the well-wishers (those here and on irc).
*there's a high % of pro's in the levels ($30+3 & $75+5) i play at now

Re: [Poker] \o/ HURRAH \o/
I thought poker was about having a straight face and being able to "read someones mind" during the game to find out if he has a good hand.
Or stabbing your opponent in the face when he wins.
I guess hollywood over-romanticised the game a tad, no?

Very much so.
Rounders pisses me off.
The guy comes in watches one hand and is able to tell what everyone round the table has.
"Yeah right"
It's not like you have to watch players for a wee while to figure out their betting patterns or anything.

Re: [Poker] \o/ HURRAH \o/
200$ Freeroll
I entered it and went for my 2 hour seminar (maybe it would end early and id get back in time)
In my abence i was anteed away to nothing and was forced all in 3 times on the big blind...
I survived.
I returne to the PC about 2hours 10minutes after it had started and had a 900 stack.
I was close to last.
I then hit A10hh. All inned. Won
upto about 3.5k
Then 2 hands later i hit a8ss so i all inned again. Won upto 15k.
couple of hands later i hit AK and allinned again. Upto 50k now.
Then i won a series of other hands and got upto 135,000
i played for time and finished top 20 earning myself 2$
the best aprt is that i went from 0
to 135,000 :-)
