I'm in, let's do this.

[Reel Deal]

Just wondering why you're picking Friday nights for these (b/c lots of people are out on Friday nights)... I would think you'd get a better turn-out if you did it say after 10 p.m. on a Tuesday.

[Invigilator]

Most people who go out on Fridays have social lives. The Arcade has shown decisively that that is not a hurdle for many on the board. (myself included)

[Reel Deal]

LOL. OK.

[de-coder]

I'll be in if I can make it.

That's a pretty good one right there, kid.

Wow - check out the cold call by storm with KTo. I'm definitely looking forward to those we were promised.

[stormswa]

ok took me awhile to get around to this, my call was fine with KT there for a couple of reasons. Actully needed 2 to be present to make that call, of course folding here was also a good option but calling was not bad.

1. I closed the betting - what this means is I was the last to act, if there was action behind me then yes of course I could not call. dont remember the names of players and dont feel like looking but the cold call before me screamed small pocket pair. It was kinda obvious actully because what else could he just call with there that hand me dominated, nothing. Getting 3-1 I think thats easy call seeing as im closing the betting round.

2. I was pretty sure it would be checked through, so with that in mind I knew I could make the call and get to see 5 cards unless he hit a set and then I coud fold easily when I missed flop. Now the all in guy, well its obvious he had a pretty good hand seeing as the 4th player was sitting out and would be blinded out in couple hands I knew he had to have AQ+ or JJ+, but he didnt matter because like I said I was getting 3-1 on a decent hand (not good) and I knew that I would still have plenty of chips to work with if I blanked the flop.

[sjay2k]

have to ask our donkament experts here but i can't see why you would call off 6.5bb with shallow stacks and a bad hand. mayhem??

[Talking Poker]

One more question, since I didn't even read #2 until now because I had so many s about number 1....

So, if you did hit that flop (or any of the board cards) with your "decent hand" (that's worthy of a right there), I'm wondering just how much more of yout stack you'd be willing to put in the middle with your junk hand? I mean, let's change that Ace overcard for you and give YOU TP, so say the board was this:

[4s 7s Kh 5d] [3d]

Are you really willing to go broke here? Or would you just maybe off another 25% of your stack before folding?

Just wondering.

Again... I really can't WAIT for that video series. Hopefully all my questions will be answered then, because I have to tell you - right now, I don't have any idea what the hell you are talking about. It's almost like we are analyzing two completely different hands!

[Invigilator]

Who won? I tanked out second on a badly played hand (by me) against Nikita who held KK.

[juiCe[3x]]

I would just like to say srry for how I acted during this tourney as I was on tilt and being a complete asshole. I might not have been as bad as some people would call an asshole but it was really out of character for me...I'm Sorry.

[Tony Cheval]

And I manage to forget about a TP tourney again. Yay me.

[Talking Poker]

One more thing worth noting here, even though I'm sure you don't think about things like this:

Hmmmmmmmm......
