[Talking Poker]

People may want to save off any notable hand histories for later discussion. Especialy the ones that take people out.

[junYUN]

what happened to jb?

[The_Gunt]

out already, went for the money shot.

[junYUN]

rofl, aeq laying down 77 when i had AA and he woulda had quads.

[Talking Poker]

I flopped a set against his KQ top pair. We went all in on the turn - had had a flush draw too - and my hand held up.

I'll post the HH later on.

[junYUN]

ROFL dealt pocket rockets AGAIN but everyone folded to me in the BB

edit: god you guys are tight as a fucking drum

[Talking Poker]

Don't you just LOVE that??? Glad I folded whatever crap I had

[BrianSwa]

didnt want to post in the chat TP but what is your name on stars?

[junYUN]

he's ROGUE

[junYUN]

ugh out on the same hand as tp

do i get a prize for that?

[jdiana86]

Good tourney...thanks to TP for setting it up...see you all again soon

[Talking Poker]

I should have never let the new guy play!!!

Grrrrr..... I really thought he'd fold to my reraise there. Oh well. Bad play by me, maybe. I'll post it in a while and you can all call me stupid.

[junYUN]

i did the same thing to him with the same hand..pocket tens..and i doubled him up. my AQ almost held up. that is until the turn

[Talking Poker]

I wish it had. I would have still be in.

Background:

With 20 minutes to go before the tourney started, I got a PM from a brand new member. He said he was new, but he liked the look of the forum and really wanted to play in tonight's tourney. I asked him to give me his word that he would stick around and make some quality posts, and he said he would. So I let him play.

I thought about telling him he was ineligible for the bounty, but I didn't. I really, really, really didn't think he'd end up being the one to knock me out. So of course, he was.

He asked if he really won the bounty and could really collect the prize. I said yes, he did, but since he's the new guy, I think it would be really cool of him to offer it up as a prize for the tourney winner (he was chip leader at the time). He didn't seem to big on this idea - which is understandable - he did win the book fair and square.... and admittedly, I was putting him on the spot.

So, long story short. This was my screw up. That means there's another book up for grabs for the winner of this tournament.

GL everyone!

Edit: If the new guy wins the tourney, no, he does not get 2 books! Then everything just works itself out all cool like.

For whatever reason, I can't stay connected on Stars for more than 25 minutes straight.

I literally sat out for 25 to 30 minutes of the tourney.

Oh well, enough bitching.

I made a stellar call K10 vs. AA to feed the chip leader.

Thanks for letting "new guy" in TP!

[ChipFish]

And Just so everyone knows.... F*cking Pshabi decided to steal every one of my blinds tonight....

Nice playing.

[Talking Poker]

When this tourney gets bigger.... like if it ever hits 50 entrants or something.... I should give prizes to various people: Best hand (Lou had AAAA tonight - that was the best I saw), Worst Beat, etc.

So, let's all try to get more and more people involed in this forum, and before you know it, we'll ba having ourselves some really nice MTTs.

We're down to 3 right now, btw. ChipFish, badblood44, and Demonstalker (who is just barely hanging on).

[Talking Poker]

ChipFish and badblood44 - evenly stacked.

[omahilo]

from barely hanging on to out lol.

[ChipFish]

Losing connection.
