cartman · 09-04-2005, 03:28 PM

Hello all,

The tourney is about to start. I'm currently in my friend's RV at a campground in Duncans Mills, CA. I'm starting at table 170, in the WCOOP #1 event. Wish me luck!

cartman · 09-04-2005, 03:34 PM

3062 entered, 324 places paid. First place is over $300K.

The blinds only increase every 30 minutes, so patience is the key. It will be several hours until the blinds will be come something to worry about defending.

cartman · 09-04-2005, 04:33 PM

We are at the first break. There are now 2560 left. I'm sitting in 1260th spot with $2725 in chips. Still a LONG way to go.

Radii · 09-04-2005, 04:39 PM

go cartman!

cartman · 09-04-2005, 05:13 PM

moved to table 107

Radii · 09-04-2005, 05:30 PM

nice turn

MJ4H · 09-04-2005, 05:30 PM

(also: PHEW)

Cartman's opp caught a set of fours vs his kings. king hits on turn.

cartman · 09-04-2005, 05:31 PM

man, that was lucky.

Had KK in the big blind. Early position raised, I reraised, he called. Flop came little cards, so I bet big. He raises, and puts me all in. I call. He had three of a kind, 4s. Turn was a K, no 4 on the river, I win the pot, and double up.

Barkeep49 · 09-04-2005, 05:39 PM

Watching now. Good luck cartman!

cartman · 09-04-2005, 05:42 PM

Second break. There are 1677 left. I'm sitting around 346th spot with $6450 in chips. More people went out this hour than I was expecting, a bit less than half the field is gone. Glad I caught the lucky break a few hands ago.

Barkeep49 · 09-04-2005, 05:47 PM

Has cartman been disconnecting regularly from his RV feed?

Radii · 09-04-2005, 05:49 PM

uggh, I hope you didn't have it when you timed out there.

cartman · 09-04-2005, 05:57 PM

I had an ace. Did the guy show his hand?

Yep, the connection here isn't the greatest. The connection to the Internet is a DirectWay dish, and they are sharing it wirelessly throughout the campsite.

Radii · 09-04-2005, 06:08 PM

he didn't show, no.

cartman · 09-04-2005, 06:14 PM

now the connection is really pissing me off

cartman · 09-04-2005, 06:34 PM

woot! KK vs. JJ, I double up. I was hoping the guy thought I was on tilt...

cartman · 09-04-2005, 06:48 PM

we are at the 3rd break now. I was moved to table 310. There are 930 people left, and I'm sitting in 410th place with $7530 in chips. That missed connection time put a dent in my stack, since I lost a sizeable bet to a timeout, then a few rounds of blinds as well. But I do have more chips than at the last break. I think we'll be close to the money line by the end of this hour.

Silver Owl · 09-04-2005, 06:49 PM

watching also, good luck
now at table 310

MJ4H · 09-04-2005, 07:21 PM

nice nice. up to 11,430

Barkeep49 · 09-04-2005, 07:24 PM

Nice indeed

cartman · 09-04-2005, 07:27 PM

A couple of power moves there...

Barkeep49 · 09-04-2005, 07:28 PM

Basically you've tripled up without ever pushing or showing down. Nice playing.

lytic · 09-04-2005, 07:31 PM

How did you get in that tourney?

lytic · 09-04-2005, 07:51 PM

oh... $500 + $30.

lytic · 09-04-2005, 07:53 PM

looks like he timed out again.

Barkeep49 · 09-04-2005, 07:54 PM

I'm pretty sure Cartman won a satelite entry. The disconnects are killing him and are the biggest obstacle I see for him placing in the money.

lytic · 09-04-2005, 07:55 PM

quad dola

$13,880 at the break

cartman · 09-04-2005, 07:55 PM

Fourth break. 493 left, and I'm sitting in 225th place with $13,880 in chips. Getting real close to the money. Made a couple of over the top moves, and people blinked. Hopefully the connection stays mostly stable.

Radii · 09-04-2005, 07:57 PM

had to run out to pick up some dinner, I just read through the recent hand histories, nice job!!! *crosses fingers for the connection*

cartman · 09-04-2005, 07:57 PM

Yep, I got a free entry by winning two levels of frequent player points satellites.

Comey · 09-04-2005, 07:58 PM

There was a playchip WCOOP event (do they give out bracelets? I'm not sure I'd even want one for winning such a thing) that went 25 hours. It was a stud event.

At four players left (when I saw it), two were disconnected/sitting out. Another one eventually just gave up and left, leaving the other guy to take all the chips...very....slowly...

Definitely the longest online tournament I've ever seen.

Comey · 09-04-2005, 07:59 PM

Dola--

Go Cartman! I'm watching now...good luck!

lytic · 09-04-2005, 07:59 PM

I was gonna say, I wish I had $500 to drop. I need to go get a lottery ticket or something.

I'm watching too in between doing homework. Best of luck.

Comey · 09-04-2005, 07:59 PM

Double dola-

Hasn't Kev1 played in the FOFC events? He is very, very familiar.

Barkeep49 · 09-04-2005, 08:14 PM

DOUBLE UP! AA vs AJ.

I was so concerned when that Jack flopped.

cartman · 09-04-2005, 08:14 PM

WOOT!!!! AA vs. AJ, I'm up to 30K in chips...

lytic · 09-04-2005, 08:14 PM

niiiiiiiiiice

Dealer: Game #2499209392: cartmanG wins pot (30710) with two pair, Aces and Tens

Silver Owl · 09-04-2005, 08:15 PM

very nice !!

Radii · 09-04-2005, 08:15 PM

GO CARTMAN!!

Comey · 09-04-2005, 08:16 PM

w-0-0-t!

lytic · 09-04-2005, 08:22 PM

ranked 73rd... 376 left, almost in the money.

I need to learn to fold like you do.

cartman · 09-04-2005, 08:33 PM

Dang, didn't catch the flush card.

Radii · 09-04-2005, 08:35 PM

still a near average stack, with just 20 to go til the money.

lytic · 09-04-2005, 08:36 PM

just hang on... 20 more and you are in the money.

lytic · 09-04-2005, 08:40 PM

dola

less than 10 to the $$$.

Silver Owl · 09-04-2005, 08:43 PM
