Wed March 3. Wow. It's all over for me in 5 min.

Lesson: Don't let them draw another card when holding a good hand (AA) that can be beaten.

Saquar second exit. Dunno what happened as I was steaming on the sidelines. Oh no! Jersey went all in with Gundini who outlasted him with 10s. Cautious start to the heads up action, "The Gun" holds a slight chip advantage, which he increases slowly. Lombardino wins a medium pot and is now slightly ahead. Gundini is increasing his aggression and L is valiantly holding on. Wow L goes all in with a set of J and G calls with Qs. L wins the pot and now has a 5/1 chip lead.

He has done it, Lombardino wins.
 
Good win Lombardino, smash up to be honest....

Those J's just were too good!

Hope we get some more starters next week, great team, but too short...

Thanks for the update peter2, you are the reporter extrodinaire.... :)
 
I'll try to be there next week - had social commitments this week so missed out - but will be ready to donate my $5 to the winners pot next week.
 
mrc-Yeh, think someone said it earlier, you would prob get more at Poker Stars.

It already has taken off! We have a table of 5 two nights per week which is great. As time goes on more members of ASF who are interested in playing or learning poker will join up and play. Gundini only organised it last week and we have 5 regulars. Lets see how many numbers we have in a months time. Hopefully we will be around 20 by then but if it is still the same 5 we will have built up a good rivalry and also learn how each other play making the games very interesting.
FWIW, i think the Full Tilt platform is better to play on than PokerStars.
 
poker stars....
I wasnt thinking of organising anything in particular...
perhaps anyone interested in a heads up game of pot limit omaha post here or PM...
perhaps we could meet up this afternoon (saturday) in the sit and go area at a certain time for a game of texas or something...
let me know if theres any interest
:cool:

I registered on the poker stars site this arvo - talk about a cr*p user interface ... I thought full tilt was bad but this is worse. What century are we in when the most popular poker site has graphics that are flat out rivalling the first version of pong.

:confused:

Don't think it's that bad, but I'll modify the settings to a simple user interface anyway because I find the avatars and backgrounds a distraction over time.

No avatars, racecourse, classic cards :)

PS is only in a 4:3 format. That's a real pain for me.

I do like the stats better on PS, though
 
Been watching this thread for a little while, waiting to see which client you guys were going to settle on. Would be a shame to see the playerbase split between the two. If there's always going to be at least 5 on Full Tilt, I might have a look this week. Been mucking around on PKR, and yeah, the clients don't really compare tbh ;) You do need a "silver membership" to hold private tourneys there though, so that might not be viable.
 
Don't forget the Aussie Stock Forums tourney starts at 8pm (Sydney Time)tomorrow and Wednesday nights.

Once you have your Full Tilt account and software go to:

Tournaments/ Private/ scroll down to March 10 at 0400 in the $5 + .50c section.

Dalen, you are welcome to come and join us mate!

There seems to be some confussion over which platform to join, Poker Stars or Full Tilt.

We have already had 3 games on Full Tilt, and a few laughs as well. The games have been lasting about an hour and a half.

All the games had 5 players and it would be good to get at least 9 this week.

PM me for the password...

See you there, cheers Gundini (Green Fish) ;)

You are correct potato:

Daylight Saving Time
in USA & Canada starts:
Sunday 8 March 2009

So the tourney kicks off at 7pm (Sydney) 6pm (Brisbane)

It is still 0400 on Full Tilt.

I could email them and change it, but too late for tonight...

Does the earlier start bother anyone?

7pm Sydney time is still good for me.
 
Well I'm registered pretty much everywhere now and have gotten used to the different user interfaces ... but can't make it again tonight unfortunately got another commitment - hopefully about tomorrow.
 
Hey Jersey are you joining us tonight mate? Stan 101?

Don't forget starts an hour early 7pm Sydney... :cool:
