dixieflatline · 07-16-2006, 03:34 PM

rtr 200 my name is _zara_ 5 left

dixieflatline · 07-16-2006, 03:37 PM

ok so 2nd break. I have 62K. 2nd is 42K. 3rd is 35K 4-5th is 20K. Very nervous. Never have done this well before. I'm not the best player at the table so I'm going to try to get the chips in preflop mostly.

SirFozzie · 07-16-2006, 03:39 PM

dixie: Take a couple deep breaths. Play your game that got you here. You have a better shot this way.

Lathum · 07-16-2006, 03:41 PM

If I was you with your stack I would play tight-aggressive and try and get to heads up where anything can happen

Lathum · 07-16-2006, 03:45 PM

dola-
I would also be cautious of raising the guy to your right, he is short stacked and may push with a marginal hand and force you to make a descion

primelord · 07-16-2006, 03:49 PM

Bah I have to run to a friend's daughter's birthday party. Good luck brother. If for some reason you are still going when we get back I will sweat ya.

Joe · 07-16-2006, 03:50 PM

Lathum · 07-16-2006, 03:50 PM

Lathum · 07-16-2006, 03:55 PM

Barkeep49 · 07-16-2006, 03:57 PM

So is it down to 4 or 5? What's his M?

Lathum · 07-16-2006, 03:58 PM

nice aggresive play there!!

Lathum · 07-16-2006, 03:59 PM

down to 4 and he had almost half the chips in play.

Lathum · 07-16-2006, 04:00 PM

oh snap, more then half now, his set of jacks just busted a guy

Barkeep49 · 07-16-2006, 04:02 PM

Wow! This is exciting. I wish I wasn't at work as this would be a fun one to sweat!

SirFozzie · 07-16-2006, 04:06 PM

You guys better keep me updated, I don't have interpoker.

dixieflatline · 07-16-2006, 04:08 PM

Nice job! I assume this was for Main Event?

dixieflatline · 07-16-2006, 04:11 PM

thanks everyone for the support. I guess I have to but HOH3 now.

dixieflatline · 07-16-2006, 04:11 PM

RPI-Fan · 07-16-2006, 04:13 PM

You better take notes for your dynasty report. Subby, QuikSand, et al have set a high bar.

Barkeep49 · 07-16-2006, 04:13 PM

Wow! That's terrific! Is there anything else that comes with the package? Who will play you in the movie?

dixieflatline · 07-16-2006, 04:16 PM

Thank you for participating in the tournament "RTR 200 Max 3024577", on
Jul 16 2006 9:07PM GMT.
Congratulations! You placed 1st and won a seat to WSOP $14K Winners
2788807!

Good luck at the tables,

Ryan Hartley

hotel for the entire tourney it looks. Probably won't need it. I'm be lucky to get past day 1. Should be a fun time though. And probably Topher Grace.

dixieflatline · 07-16-2006, 04:19 PM

Don't worry you will be getting more updates than you probably can handle! I'm going for custard to celebrate with the wife but I'll be back and post some more in a bit.

Radii · 07-16-2006, 04:27 PM

holy shit, congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!

dixieflatline · 07-16-2006, 06:09 PM

Ok this kind of rocks even a bit more than I thought. Here is the full deal:

* $10,000 entry into the Main Event (Event 39, no-limit texas hold’em, Friday, July 28 - Thursday, August 10, 2006.

* $3,000 for 15 nights hotel stay at the Rio All Suite Hotel & Casino from July 27 to August 10, 2006, inclusive; departing on August 11, 2006.

* $2,000 funded to your account for travel and spending money.

If exit early which will probably happen then I also get:

* $1000 entry into Event 40 (no-limit texas hold ‘em, Thursday, August 3, 2006, 11am)

* Entry into $200k Freeroll at the Gold Coast Hotel and Casino (12noon, Saturday August 5th, 2006

I kind of wish I could just sell the seat and take all that cash. That is a decent bit more than my entire bankroll right now so the cold hard cash would be very useful. That said it should be a hellva time and if I could cash that would be awesome.

So if I could ask for advice from FOFC since I have never been to vegas. I know there have been some threads in the past so I will be looking them but up if anyone wants to add anything here that would be great.

1) Restaurants. We will probably be going over $2,000 for 15 nights so nice restaurants and nice, cheap, restaurants would be useful.

2) After I get knocked out early I'll have time to enjoy vegas so what stuff do you recommend I see?

3) Books. I currently own HOH1&2 and Phil Gordon's green book. I'll be getting HOH3 and Sklansky's tourney book tonight or tomorrow. What else should I be studying?

Thanks,

ps. I am sooooo dead money.

Maple Leafs · 07-16-2006, 06:20 PM

You are my hero.

Damn.

SirFozzie · 07-16-2006, 06:26 PM

Get HoH Book 3. Has a lot of stuff that will be important (scenarios and stuff) when you play.

NevStar · 07-16-2006, 06:27 PM

kcchief19 · 07-16-2006, 06:27 PM

JonInMiddleGA · 07-16-2006, 07:19 PM

WTG, very good job.

primelord · 07-16-2006, 07:23 PM

Woot! Congrats!!!!!

Don't worry about Sklansky's tournament book or really any of the others ones to be honest. HOH1-3. It's all in there.

Neuqua · 07-16-2006, 07:26 PM

That's awesome.

Congratulations!

Barkeep49 · 07-16-2006, 07:26 PM

I'd throw in Caro's book of tells. That was very useful for me in my limited offline experience.

Celeval · 07-16-2006, 07:32 PM

Awesome. Much congrats.

Jas_lov · 07-16-2006, 07:35 PM

Congrats on winning the seat. Read all the HOHs again and maybe try a few deep stack tournaments online if you don't have much experience in them. I'm not sure about interpoker, but pokerstars has some good ones with big fields that may be helpful in learning how to play a deep stack with small blinds early and long level up intervals.

cartman · 07-16-2006, 07:37 PM

I meant to ask earlier, but how did you get entered in this freeroll? Did you have to win one or more satellites to get into it, or were you just able to enter straight away? How many people started the tourney? Inquiring minds want to know.

Congrats, and have fun in Vegas!

kingfc22 · 07-16-2006, 07:39 PM

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

That freaking rocks man. Congrats!!!!!!
