Are other matches shaping up?

[2Tone]

I know it's only the first morning of the first day, but ...

Chip is at a cabin until the 8th, which might delay our much anticipated showdown. And I'm wondering about mathbabe vs. the the_gunt, neither who have checked in for two weeks now.

[BrianSwa]

im betting there are a couple no-shows.

[Talking Poker]

That certainly would be interesting. A double forfeit followed by a Round 2 forfeit....

As for Chip, Round 1 ends on the 7th? Is he going to miss it?

[PShabi]

Forfeit.

Let's go Tone, while i'm hot.

And am going to assume that Chip is going to make it, though I haven’t heard back from my latest PM. But like Pshabi, I’m eager to play. So if there are no objections from tournament officials, maybe we could play this evening, with the following caveat …

1) If I beat Pshabi and later beat Chip, I advance to round 3 (least likely scenario)

2) If I lose to Pshabi, and later beat Chip, Pshabi advances to round 3 (still rather unlikely)

3) Win or lose against Pshabi, if I later lose to Chip, our match becomes an exhibition, and Pshabi and Chip play as regularly scheduled. (most likely)

Pshabi, are you game? It would have to be later this evening Pacific time.

[PShabi]

Ehhh, I doubt TP will go for it.

I'll just wait. Don't wanna waste my MOJO on exhibition matches.

[2Tone]

Perhaps I'll see you in round 2. If not, good luck.

[MathBabe]

Never fear, MathBabe's here.

It was a holiday weekend where I am, and the only poker-playing that goes on at the cottage is live. I've PM'd The_Gunt and I'm happy to advance through a forfeit. :-)

See, I'm just the opposite... I'm getting all my bad luck out of the way during these exhibition matches. That, and letting you guys think I don't know what I'm doing.

As soon as it's time for the real deal, LOOK OUT! I'm going all the way. Hell, I've already outlasted Aeq and he was one of the favorites, according to the bracket pool.

Tomorrow night. TP vs. Lightfungus. 7:30 PM. Mark your calendars. This one's gonna get ugly.

[GeoffM]

It looks as though me and Blibbity will be playing Sunday night around 10:30. Being likely the last match of the first round, I suppose that makes us the "feature" matchup of round 1.

[Talking Poker]

Clearly you have not seen tonight's lineup. I heard this is a BIG match scheduled for 7:30 PM...
