Anyway, I am going to email Full Tilt and change the games to a more suitable time for everyone.

It seems a 5pm (Sydney Time) game on Tuesday is preferable to most.

Wednesday could have a 5pm and a 8pm game it seems.

What are your thoughts, does this suit better?

We could put a 8pm game on Tuesday when the numbers pick up.
 
i think the biggest problem will be diluting the numbers if we introduce any more than 2 games at the moment. In my opinion the best option for now would be to have a 5pm on Tuesday and 8pm on a Wednesday so we can accommodate everybody and still get decent numbers for both games.
 
Tend to agree jersey,

I thought there would be more interest in these games.

Look at the last 2 hands from last night. You can see what fun and competition we have, but just not many Poker/Stock Traders on ASF.

Anyway, I should be a chance tonight, I'm the only starter so far!
 

i can guarantee it will at least be heads up
 
Should be another good one tonight!

Sorry guys, just realized they have not changed the games over yet.

Maybe because of Easter.

Anyway, MrPoka and myself are up for the challenge in 20 minutes!
 
Well another nice and friendly game had by the 4 players that fronted up last night.

Jersey went out hard as usual in a performance not akin to the great train Robbery and doubled his stakes midgame.

MrPoka was handy, but was hindered by a few unlucky rivers.

Pete started off slow and did look gone early, but landed a couple of scorchers in a row and chipped up to remain competitive.

Gundini did a little theiving early then sat back to bide the time.

MrPoka got hit by some nice hands and looked like being the first out, down to around 500 chips. Like "The Bomb" that he is, he fought on, and snapped up a few handy pots to keep himself in the race.

Jerseys aggressive play landed him in some scorching water, and the one time chipstack came crashing down and out leaving just 3.

Pete got smothered on the small stack and bowed out gracefully.

It was up to MrPoka and Gundini to go blow for blow for the prize! With a mixture of bluff and skill, it became a tit for tat affair.

The defining moment came when MrPoka drew a Q 2 suited and called Gundini's blind. Gundini raised with K K preflop, and MP called.

The flop came 2 5 10, and it was up to the Gun to bet or check.

G bet the pot I think (800) having top pair and expected MP to fold.

MP would have none of this and pushed all in (1700 odd) and G called.

MP's Q came on the turn, giving him two pair, then a spade on the river which broke MP's heart.

Having 2 pair v K's was a certain win. But the Gun had K spades which was enough to take the chocolates with a K high flush.

All along, the Gun thought he had MP beat with K's. He was shocked to learn he needed the river.

MrPoka was graceful in defeat as always and will live to fight another day.

Poker can be cruel sometimes, cheers Gundini...

Went looking for the tournament at about 6:10 tonight but looks like it was a no show. Is the time of either of them getting moved back for next week?
(8pm definitely suits me much better than 6pm).
 
I was the only player to register tonight so it was cancelled. Haven't seen Gundini last night or tonight. Last night it was only myself, Peter and Mr poka. I think G said he is changing the times to Tues 5pm and Wed 8pm, he will have to confirm though.
 
Well here's my bad beat story of the day/eveining.

45 handed $10 multi table tournament, final table, four players left, I've got third biggest stack but top three stacks are pretty even.
I've got AKs (hearts) and on the button so raise preflop. (blinds are 1000/2000 at this stage of the comp), small blind calls, bb folds so its heads up.

Flop gives me a flush draw plus gut shot straight draw (I've actually got a royal flush draw). SB checks the flop so I raise roughly pot odds on the draw (actually a bit under) hoping to push SB off the pot.

SB calls, doesn't reraise.

Turn comes comes K giving me top pair top kicker and I still have the gut shot draw and the flush draw out there. I'm a little bit worried about AJ, I'm good against a trapping AQ or AT and then there's always the risk of aces or trips, but given the passive approach so far I'd normally expect an aggressive re-raise if they had these sort of hands especially given there are draws out there so I've written off big hands like trips or aces and am putting them on possibly AT, AJ, AQ, AJ being the one I can't beat. But with the nut flush draw also out there (in fact a straight flush draw) and top pair, top kicker, I go in with the rest of my chips.

They call ... they have pocket 7's (crazy call by them in that spot imo). So suffice to say I'm feeling pretty good at that point ... there's only the river to come, I've got top pair, top kicker, and a royal flush draw. Winning this would double me up, pretty much send my opponent out and make me big stack of the three remaining players in the tournament.

And the river ... the picture tells the story.

That's got to hurt. JLCricket must have thought to were bluffing, probably you got caught at it earlier. Still you would have earned something for the 4th. I know, nothing like 1st and so close.

Sorry J I was occupied again and missed the start. Seems the computer doesn't wait. Hope the Gun is OK as it is not like him to miss his weekly sparring session.

I won a satellite comp (0.60) into the 200K Sunday Brawl ($24 entry -12,000 players with 31K 1st prize). As they pay down to 1080st place I will be happy to last that long. The hardest thing for me is getting out of bed to play Monday morning 0622!

All good cheap fun.

From what I saw of their playing they were lucky to have made it where they were, I don't think much thought was put into the call.


Thats a good effort to win the satellite - how many players in it?
