not going to play, if u take down this freeroll good for u, you deserve your own prize lol , i made a good run at it.

haha... you like that? I lost a bundle earlier with TT vs AA so I didn't feel the slightest bit bad. Plus, despite the bad beat, I played the hand properly, and that's what's most important. sure was an ice change of pace though!

Down to 8 players now - ITM. I'm second in chips with 1.5x the average stack. The leader and I have a nice lead. Remind me not to tangle with him.

183 hands played and counting. This is shaping up to be a pretty damn good last minute push!

oh its over....i bow to TP wish i could get in a 64 person freeroll for fuckin 2000$ lol

Well, we are past midnight now, and I think I'm the only one left in this contest. I have one spot in this tourney to go to take the $ lead in the contest.

That said, this technically is an affilaite tourney - (and no, there are not many of these at all, Brian - every few months, maybe), so maybe it shouldn't count. I didn't even think about that before. Then again, at Intertops, anyone can sign up to be an affiliate because of the sportsbook (I think), so anyone could have played in this.

I'll leave it up to you guys. I am the Admin, after all, so I probably should get a little special treatment and a break with this, but if you guys say it's not fair, then so be it.

even if it is an affiliate thing, i dunno i guess i think u should still win. your website, you said you can make up rules when you feel like it, so your rule about mtt past midnight goes. take your prize TP.

i will assume every1 else agrees , cuz no1 wants to see ME WIN hahaha

BrianSwa · #7 07-01-05, 12:12 AM

its kinda a toss up here because we couldnt use PP points to play, but you are the admin and you did go from $0 to make the most. Im not in this contest so I really shouldnt have a say maybe do a poll on it would be a good idea.

i dont agree with kirk that you should make your won rules but like you said anyone could of signed up at the sportsbook to get in. The contest was to make the most money off of $25 and you did that. The way I see it anyway possible means anyway possible.

kkirk1329 · #8 07-01-05, 12:16 AM

well he even said in the rules he could change them in any point in time so i guess that it is fair. and he still had to make it that far.

BrianSwa · #9 07-01-05, 12:19 AM

TP is a fair guy he always has been and when he said change the rules im sure he didnt mean change them to favor him. He is leaving up to the people in the contest which again is very fair so let them decide im out so I dont vote but the 5-6 that are still in should discuss this....which includes you.

BrianSwa · #10 07-01-05, 12:05 AM

I didnt see when the money went into put, im assuming it was on flop in which case hell yea you played it right and even if it went in pre-flop with your chip lead over him I would of called also.

I expect you to get 1st, nothing less.

Talking Poker · #11 07-01-05, 12:12 AM

I raised preflop and he reraised al in, but it wasn't all that much more to me. Technically I didn't have the pot odds I needed against on overpair, but if you factor in all the hands he could have made that play with, it was a no brainer call.

I expect the same. But I'm going to finish 3rd. You'll see.
