Quickly....
Guarantee $20,000
They had server problems and won't have enough people to cover.

ChipFish · #2 10-25-04, 11:17 PM

too late... sorry I wasn't quick enough for you guys

only 711 players which means they need 1289 re-buys to cover (which they won't get I don't think).

Wish me luck

good luck, since you posted at 10:15, would have taken some quick clicks to get in...

, thanks for the heads up though

ChipFish · #4 10-25-04, 11:33 PM

Just for kicks I'll keep those who want to be updated:

I nearly doubled up and am at T5455 now with Q-Q vs. his A-10o/s.
He raised pre-flop and I re-raised.... he pushed all-in and I called.
No Ace and I doubled up.

Very early but I'm bored.

ChipFish · #5 10-26-04, 12:28 AM

Getting no playable hands... after add-on I am at 6120 which only leaves me at 277 out of 550....

I hate waiting.

ChipFish · #6 10-26-04, 01:15 AM

Ad-10d loses to 9s-6s down to T1100

However All-in took blinds + antes and a double up with Qh-10H vs. Qs-9C gets me back up to about T3750

ChipFish · #7 10-26-04, 01:23 AM

Made it back up to T7190 in time for the second break....
I'm not quitting.

ChipFish · #8 10-26-04, 01:52 AM

T17300 95 out of 173 top 63 cash....
Haven't had many decent hands....
If I start catching some cards I have a shot.
At least I have enough to steal blinds now.

ChipFish · #9 10-26-04, 02:16 AM

T41000
39 of 109..... almost there.... don't get stupid

ChipFish · #10 10-26-04, 02:51 AM

T43000 with 69 left puts me in 42nd. 6 more spots before the nerves go away.

ChipFish · #12 10-26-04, 03:05 AM

T91,000 16 out of 55 so far (in the money) Now I have enough to take a run at the final table. Wish me luck.

GL.

ChipFish · #14 10-26-04, 03:25 AM

181K 37 left 6th place

ChipFish · #15 10-26-04, 04:08 AM

I'm out 15th place.

Got stupid over Q-K and then just had to last.

$280 ain't bad though.

GeoffM · #16 10-26-04, 09:42 AM

Nice going buddy. That is sweet. Made 25.5 X your money back, can't complain. Now bonus whore that somewhere else.

ChipFish · #17 10-26-04, 09:48 AM

Not quite lol.

Entry (1500 Chips)-------------------------$10+1
Immediately Rebuy an extra (1500 chips) ----$10+0
Add-On after the first hour (2000 chips)---$10+0

So about 9X.... not complaining at all though.... (Stupid Q-K.... Knew I should have laid it down)......Stupid ChipFish.......Grrrrrrr

GeoffM · #18 10-26-04, 09:49 AM

Ahhh, I forgot about the re-buys. What do they give you with those, another amount equal to your starting chips?

Tilter · #19 10-26-04, 04:41 PM

nicely done. $250 profit is nothing to fret over. I gotta try that rebuy tourney one day. Sticking to the low $5 freezeouts for me.

BlibbityBlabbity · #20 10-26-04, 05:52 PM

Way to stick with it

Frontin · #21 10-26-04, 08:36 PM

Good job Chipfish!

So in a tourney with rebuys/add-ons is it expected you'll rebuy once immediately and then add-on at the end of the re-buy period? So the real entry fee is "30+1"

but wouldn't it be possible for someone who buys 2 times and adds on once to have more than someone who bought once and then added on once, leading to some sort of unfairness for the latter?

note to admin, maybe add a "now playing" thread??

ChipFish · #22 10-26-04, 08:42 PM

Yes. That is correct.

No. You can only re-buy when you have the starting amount or less....
In PokerStars Case, 1500chips.
Therefore if you have 1501 chips you can't re-buy.
The Add-on was for 2000 chips and occurs during the first break.

That's a good idea.

Prima was having trouble covering their Saturday Guarantee Tournies, made for a great deal

Tuff Luck · #24 10-26-04, 09:53 PM
