Just a ridiculously cold deck.

I like to think I would have been able to fold Kings in Labat’s position, but at the same time if you win that hand you have over 25% of the chips.

The last $100k freeroll they had made the games so ridiculously bad. Hardly any action, people just collecting hours

'THIS SAT 1:PM' $320 TRNY w/WSOP HOF MBR TJ Cloutier. Local convenience & comfort. Don't miss this one. Come hungry.


They think this degenerate is some kind of a draw for people.

Slow,
What do you mean by “collecting hours”? Free drinks ?

They had freeroll based on the amount of hours played in the poker room. Top 100 people based in hours got a seat in the tournament

the Nugget one?

b/c i won the LDL one I'm referring to. the final table voted 9-1 for an even chop of $2500 and one guy held out. i knocked that guy out and he got....$2500

then i chopped with a reg 8/7 for the final 2 (we agreed prior to chop once/if one of us knocked that guy out)

let me just say that guy fricked himself hard. i guess he thought he was some elite player but he pissed off like ALL the regs and i'm pretty sure went busto a couple months later and went back to wherever he came from.

idiots like that forget that to have a poker ecosystem you can't act like it's always zero sum. you need tourists and gamblers having fun. you also can't piss off and get targeted by the legit pros who are better than you who DO understand how the ecosystem has to work

The one at LDL back in December is the one Im refering too. We got the final 10, table wanted to chop up so that no one had to pay taxes, then we rechopped at the end. Whats the reg your talking about initials

Yours must have been before i started playing there, bc I played in the last two freerolls at LDL. December & April/March ish i cant remember

I can't fault the guy for not wanting to chop. I never did either. The money is for 1st. Defeats the purpose of an MTT if you just want to make it to the FT and then chop. I get wanting to keep the recs happy, But I'm not chopping for that reason only. Unless it works out in my favor due to being short or something. I would always be polite about it, but pass.

and i took 8 years off basically between moving back to LC (in law school i was a 4-8 grinder at the Belle) and picking up NL. i'm about to get back on a lighter grind than i had been on last year. i wanted to grind hard this month to get into the $50k freeroll at the Nugget but i'm too far behind now


Yeah... I was just a once or twice a month 1/2 NL player at the poker rooms in Florida.
Sometimes would do small single-table tournaments. Sad to see the home game doesn't really exist here.

ESPN this is why everyone hates you now. We're missing the final table of the Main Event because of softball? Kick this shite over to ESPN News.

I play home games.
On July 3 we had dealers choice (7 card stud, folllow the queen, low Chicago in the hole gets half the pot, Cincinnati, 5 card draw, one jacks and suicide king wild, etc)before playing a 10 man hold em tourney. We do it every few weeks.

How did Manion get the chip count lead? I watched until abut 1:00 AM last night and Dyer was about 50 million ahead of everybody at the table.

Never mind I found the video of the 75 million hand on youtube
