I'll probably play with you all this time around.

Re: Substitute for Pokerstars home games?

Played a irl poker tourney with a friend today. 3000 starting chip 25/50 blind 20 min blind turbo :/ (Not a fan of this tourney. Kinda turns into a shove fest) 84 person 30 dollars with 4 available rebuys/add ons for the first hour.

My friend ended up winning the entire thing and made a cool 1.9k. He got so ridiculously lucky at final table. He got it all in against AA and 88 with AQ in the final table with like 6 players left flop he hits a Q and river he hits the two outter. Next all in he gets it in with 66 and guy calls with 79. 7 on flop turn is blank. He calls for his one time and hits a 6 on river. He makes it to heads up and is a 4 to 1 dog. First hand they go all in. He has Q 10 against A rag. Spikes Q on flop and it holds. Very next hand they get it all in again. He has Q 10 again. Blank flop. Blank turn. 10 river. I went crazy. It was disgusting. Not like he can really do anything though. Final table is a definite crap shoot with turbo blinds.

Oh and I made final table with a cool 7th place finish. Still nice. I prefer cash game play but was still fun.


Edit: I usually don't like to publicize shit like this but it was just so epic that he ended up winning :P

Re: Substitute for Pokerstars home games?

i'd def. join if this gets going

Re: Substitute for Pokerstars home games?

I can still use Pokerstars.net for home games. However due to USA bs laws it has to be all play money unfortunately.

Tourney scheduled for 5PM EST today. Lets get back into this.

I thought this said PokeStars and I thought it had something to do with pokemon.
You tricked me.
Asshole.

Re: Substitute for Pokerstars home games?

Ugh this is killing me I hate not being able to run my real money sngs anymore that was my income.

Re: Substitute for Pokerstars home games?

Seems kind of odd to make a living on something that's a zero-sum game and not a generator of wealth ?_?

Re: Substitute for Pokerstars home games?

Sounds fun. Will look into the times.

I haven't touched cash poker since the issues with online poker arose. I know that I'm Canadian, but still. I've been incredibly wary of making deposits since then =/

Re: Substitute for Pokerstars home games?

If you think you might participate in this let me know what times work for you and I can def. create a regular schedule over time.

Right now there is no one for the 5 pm EST tourney. Hope it changes!

Re: Substitute for Pokerstars home games?

We have a turbo tournament here. It's called Poor Man's Poker. $10 to get $5 dealer add-on and Unlimited rebuys for the first hour. Everyone starts with $1000 chips (unless you get the add-on then you get $1500) Blinds go up every 15 minutes and it starts at $25/$50. Now this is a shove fest. It can be fun after the first hour but for the first, it gets pretty stupid. Usually the first prize does get $500-$600 so it's not too bad for 3-4 hours of work :P
