Sorry about tonight. Got home just before 7pm. Didn't realise it had come forward 1 hour.

See you all tomorrow.

cheers,
 
No worries mate, had 6 tonight...

I will leave it to Peter to run the tail of the tape, but all I can say if someone tell you to go "all in" with the ladies, slap em'... lol ;)
 
Really looking forward to the 8pm matchup and look what happened. They start an hour earlier, bloody Yanks. Browsing ASF before the big event (I don't get out much) I noticed the earlier start and when I joined the table there were two players gone and my starting stack less than half remained.

6 players tonight, (were there women playing?) and by the time I joined things were pretty even with the three chip leaders. Chips went around the table, not many staying with me. In the end the cards (flushes, straights) stayed with Bhutos and were played flawlessly to outlast all remaining players one by one.

Congrats Bhutos.
 
Yes bhutos run hard, done good! Looked gone at one stage, but landed a few hands, then pocket K's to smash Gundini's Q's with only J's on the table.

But Poka was pretty handy at times, and a bit unlucky near the end. Poka had a fan club on the sideline early, but I think they split to take the heat off him.

Jersey came out very aggressive but missed a few hands, then gone!

Peter lost a few chips early and struggled to recover, but to his credit hung in their to finish third.

Lombardino was first out I think, and was solid without luck!

Don't forget, a 7pm start tomorrow, not sure if that is good with Stan 101, but we will see what happens!

Until then, cheers Gundini ;)
 
Bad beat on that last hand, his J's should have had my 4's.. Didn't even realise I took it with a flush, was too busy typing a message... Was good fun though, was almost out two thirds in...
 
A good game last night with 6 of the best battling each other to oblivion.

So far there has been 3 different winners over 4 games.

Who will be the 5th?

Only 3 registered for tonights game, Jersey usually checks in at under one minute to game start, bhutos cleaned up last night and is sure to back up with confidence. Potato will be back for another shot along with peter who is due for a bit of luck, and cuttlefish might make the 8.

Don't forget 7pm Sydney time, should be a bottler!

See you there ;)

Hey Bent, don't know about that...

bhutos came on his first night and kicked the crap out of us!

Revenge is sweet an near....

I forgot, MrPoka is a self confesed poker junkie, he should be there tonight.

Might be our first full table :eek:

Welcome aboard BentRodZ
 
Last night we had an issue with the prizes changing mid game...

It turns out: we had 5 players registered, so the payout was

1st-$12.50
2nd- $7.50
3rd- $5.00

But, we had a late registration which brought us to 6 players, payout:

1st-$24.00 + $2 Tourney entry
2nd- $4.00
Rest-Zip

Tonight we are already at 6 players and I saw it change...

Not sure what will happen when our tourney goes to a couple of tables but we are bound to find out soon!

Hope that clears things up, cheers :)
 
Quick update:

Stan 101 out after he was crippled when Cuttlefish(strummin) filled up when two Aces came on the flop

forgot all about it tonight. Managed to log on when there were 3 still in at about 8:15EDT but couldn't register that late which is probably fair enough considering 4 people were already out.

Gundini do you know how late after the start you can arrive and still take your seat at the table?

Don't know, but will find out.

Awesome game tonight, wait for peters report!

Spooly and MrPoka heads up. and genuine test of fitness!
 
Thanks for the game All.

I was rudely interrupted half way through when a mate dropped past so missed most of the good hands.

See ya next week!

And WD to Spooly74.:xyxthumbs
 
No one else here, still licking there wounds from a tough night!

Started off solid with 7 players.

A fantastic battle with some very strong players. peter took a nice lead early, and seemed to bet more after the flop being well stacked. MrPoka, BentRod and Lombardini were always handy, Stan 101 droped out early.

Gundini got hit early with a bad beat and struggled to recover. He then got slammed dunked by MrPoka! gg. Potato come unstuck somewhere along the line, so there was onther 3 left.

peter ran hard, but got knocked out in a tough one, and the heads up turned to a bare fist fight!

Lombardino got the upper hand. It was nigh night for MrPoka.

But Poka fought back, seeing the big carrot dangling in the distance!

At the end of the day, Lombardino was having none of it.... He closed it out in style!

Congrats Lombardino, your second win I believe, and equaling the long standing all time record posted by Gundini of 2 wins in a row way back last week! :D

I think there is enough interest now that we will probably have 2 tables next Tuesday/Wednesday.

Thoroughly enjoyed tonight, great game and nice people, thanks guys. :)
 
I think you have 10min to register late. When this closes the table goes into the finals format.

7 players tonight. Tonights upstanding ovation goes to Spooly who ended an epic heads up match with MrPoka. MrPoka started the heads up with a comanding chip lead, Spooly conserved his chips and hung on to the rampaging MrPoka with the big stack. Then Spooly struck out with some aggression of his own and took some of the chips. Another hand, another big battle with Spooly being victorious and taking the chip lead convincingly. Spooly went all in with A6 and was called by MrPoka holding 66. The turn brought an Ace and the river another. The table was turned on its ear, the peanut gallery were shoked. Spooly managed to keep the gnawing MrPoka for a while then the unexpected happened and MrPoka was back on top. The lead changed often as the blinds were exchanged. It looks like MrPoka was going to outlast Spooly but another twist and a brave call by Spooly holding very little forced the issue and he outdrew MrPoka to win.

Spooly, I believe if you unregister from the "prize" tournament entry you will get the dollar amount credited back to your account.

The 8pm start is better for me.

[Sorry for the late commentary. The FSTE is going nuts for me.]

Nice report peter thanks!

Maybe we have a 6pm tourney and a 8pm tourney on both nights...

Once numbers build up you don't have to make every tourney....

Then, once a month we have a super tourney just for the winners! To be in this one you had to win one tourney in the month.

What are your thoughts? :cool:
 
i would wait until we have serious numbers (40+) before expanding. I think one game each night is the max for now otherwise the games will be diluted and we may end up with 4 games of 3 players.
