Heads-Up Smackdown...

I didn't even know this existed until bdawg sent me the link. It's a $500+30 tourney on .

Details here:

It's only open to the first 64 players to register. I'm not sure if I'll play or not (you can unregister until 30 minutes before it begins), but I just signed up anyway, and was the 51st person... so, 13 spots left.

I think the tourney looks way cool - my problem with it is that they play on Saturdays, when I'm usually not online. I doubt they would take THAT long though, so I can probably squeeze them in...

Any of you other HU ballers feel like playing? sjay? JD?

This starts this weekend... Guess I should get a little practice in, since I've never played a single HU match on .

Hopefully some of you will be around to rail on Saturday...

I wish they would publish the brackets, so I'd know who I'm playing and what path I'm going to need to take to get to the finals, but I guess they are waiting until the tourney start, in case anyone unregisters, etc.

I just got this in my email.

sjay/JD/etc - See bold, especially.

I'm looking forward to getting my hands on that ring. The only problem is I just realized I'll be out of the country the weekend of the semifinals and finals. OOOPS.

I'll literally be on an airplane on the 4th... I MIGHT be able to play on the 5th, provided I can find internet access somewhere, but the 4th is going to be a problem for me. I guess if it comes down to it, I could change my flight...

So, I'm glad I decided to practice a little bit (3 matches). My UB options were all screwey - like, I had to click "No, don't show" every time I won a pot, etc. That gets old fast playing HU.

I'm all set now, and really looking forward to this. I'll post a railbird thread for sure, and may even record my match... I haven't decided yet. Even if I do it without audio, it would be cool t get feedback later on. Then again, I don't want future rounds' opponents to be able to track down my videos and have an edge on me, so even if I do record, I might not post it for a while.

Off topic (sort of) I think UB is having the Aruba satty this Sat or Sun 500 buy in, but i think 50-65 seats are guaranteed and there is an expected overlay.
