[Draft Dodger]

[henry296]

10 to the prize pool and 1 dollar to Poker Stars.

[AnalBumCover]

10 to the prize pool and 1 dollar to Poker Stars.Also, $10+1 is the smallest buy-in tournament I can create.

[Pumpy Tudors]

I'd be there, but I'll be at a Weird Al concert. I'll have to catch the next one.

[TLK]

registered :)

[RGunner]

I should be there, went from last to 9th last time, so i guess time to win eh?

[kingfc22]

I would love to play but I don't get off of work until 7:30 PST.

[cartman]

I'll still be in Miami, so I'm in this one.

And, the bounty still stands. If you knock me out before we're in the money, and you finish in the money, I'll match what you win.

[primelord]

I'd imagine I am likely going to be in for this one as well.

[SirFozzie]

I'll be in..

[TLK]

I'll still be in Miami, so I'm in this one.

And, the bounty still stands. If you knock me out before we're in the money, and you finish in the money, I'll match what you win.I will add a $5 bounty on previous winners of the FOFC tournaments.... The first person to knockout a winner of a past FOFC event (cartman, Ragone or Rpi-Fan) will receive $5....

[Schmidty]

I'd play, but I'm extremely bad at poker. Instead of giving my money to you guys, I'll just donate at it to my church.

[TLK]

bump.....

[GoldenEagle]

I should be in.

[cthomer5000]

unfortunately, my chances of making this are looking pretty grim.

[primelord]

ct is scared of me. ;)

[Chappy]

I may play this one. Darn schedule conflicts kept me away from te first few.....

[Comey]

I would love to play, but I don't get paid for another two or three weeks. If I can scrounge up the $50 to deposit, I'll join you guys. But...I may have to hold off, once again. It stinks, since I'm hitting a nice run in tourney play (yesterday, played four tourneys, finished 130th out of 900 at FT, 190th out of 7,976 at Stars, 358th out of 6,000 at Stars, and 11th out of 900 on FT...it was a good day, just from a solid poker outing standpoint).

That said, I hope I find a $50 on the street. ;)

[korme]

just got a new account, i might be there.. kormelink3

[Radii]

i'll be a sunday night signup if I can play, not sure atm.

[The Afoci]

If my fantasy draft is done and I am somewhat sober, I will be in. I want shorty's lunch money.

[RPI-Fan]

i'll be a sunday night signup if I can play, not sure atm.

IWS

[cartman]

And I'll be missing out on the stargazing down the street at the MTV VMAs. So I plan on taking everyone out in a quick and painless manner so I can get from my hotel to the AA Center and not miss much of the action.

:D

[RGunner]

Cartman, lets just compromise and I'll take you out real quick :)

[TLK]

just a bump.....

I think I'll take a break from poker until Sunday night.... :)

[cartman]

bump...

and a bad beat story. I was in a $25+2 sit'n'go at PS. I entered the pot with a A8s (diamonds). Two others were there to see the flop with me. The flop was outstanding. 9 10 J of diamonds. Nut flush, plus open ended straight flush draw. I decide to slowplay, and put out twice what the ante was. Next guy calls, but the final player goes all in. I call, and the other guy folds.

His cards, yep, you guessed it. KQs, diamonds. Ugh.

I'll take out my frustrations on my fellow FOFCers tomorrow night.

;)

[TLK]

If anyone needs help with a transfer.... let me know... I'll be around late tonight and early afternoon tomorrow... However, I won't be here tomorrow night until about the time of the tourney...

[TLK]

bump....

[RGunner]

I'm gunna need someone to lend me the money to join if i'm going to play, so let me know if you can help with it and ill pay you back ASAP

[MJ4H]

Withdrew all my money from stars as I noted in another thread so Im out of this one. Good luck fellows.

[Suicane75]

Quick question, If i dump $50 into Stars to play the Tourney, will I be able to take out what I have left or have won immediatly after the tourney?

Got to wait 48 hours before you can withdrawl money after a deposit...

[sabotai]

Yes, you should. It might depend on what you use. If you use NETeller, then yes, since their min. for withdraw is $5. (EDIT: But looks like you'll have to wait a few days after what TLK just said.)

[Suicane75]

Ok, 48 hours is no big deal, just didn't wanna have to wait 2 weeks or some such nonesense. I'm in the AP $1K Sunday tourney at 6. If i'm out of that before 9 i'll be there.

[cthomer5000]

well, luckily my prior engagement (work) was cancelled, so i'm probably going to be in this. I'm not home right now, but expect to be by 9.

[SirFozzie]

I'm now in.

[korme]

might be in, we'll see hombres

[TLK]

I'm trying out a new stratagy tonight.... I'm playing sober :)

[GoldenEagle]

Wiill not be in this one guys, lost too much money.

[Suicane75]

I'm in. Now, who have bounties on their heads? :D

[Radii]

I'm trying out a new stratagy tonight.... I'm playing sober :)


How boring :) I recommend drinking more instead!

I'm registered.

[sabotai]

I'm in as well

[korme]

I'm in. And so is my friend. He'd post, but:

WhSox21: i cant sign up
WhSox21: the image verification doesnt work

[TLK]

about 15 minutes to go.....

[cthomer5000]

im in.

[WhSox21]

I'm in! :)

[cartman]

Cool, now we have a full table. Let's see if the stragglers can make it two full tables!

[cartman]

Shorty,

I don't see your new name registered yet

[cartman]

dola, nevermind

:D

[TLK]

I'm in! :)
Welcome to the FOFC..... now give us your money... :)

[korme]

11 in, 8 minutes left

[TLK]

I sent RGunner the money for the tournament.... but he's no where to be found....

[korme]

hey cartman, you still doing the $5 for getting you out plus matching what they win, if any?

[WhSox21]

You can only wish... :) I'll be stealing your money!

[rockboy70]

I'm in.

[cartman]

hey cartman, you still doing the $5 for getting you out plus matching what they win, if any?

kinda...

The bounty on me is I match what you win if you knock me out. Someone else had the $5 bounty.

The fine print (gotchas) is the bounty is only valid before we're in the money. So if the tourney pays 4 places, I have to finish 5 or worse, and you have to finish 4th or better for the bounty to be paid.

Make sense?

[korme]

yes


1 MINUTE

[WhSox21]

Sorry for the off topic, but I just wanted to say...

There are 10 kinds of people in the world: Those that understand binary, and those who don't.

I love your sig! :)

[cartman]

still time for stragglers to register, no one has been knocked out yet

[TLK]

I will add a $5 bounty on previous winners of the FOFC tournaments.... The first person to knockout a winner of a past FOFC event (cartman, Ragone or Rpi-Fan) will receive $5....

[SirFozzie]

*Very Grumpy*

Stupid QQ vs KK on an all undercard board.. how da ell was I supposed ta play dat?

[albionmoonlight]

This was my first action except for .5/1 ring and 10+1 sit and go at Party and some very casual house games. Any hints y'all can give me based on your observations? Any complete bonehead plays that caused you to curse my (almost) success even more? Any observations are welcome.

I got really good cards tonight (AA two or three times and KK twice). That won't keep happening, and I'd like to use these games to bone up my skills as much as possible.

[korme]

but technically, i've made $20 total off sidebets. ;)

[Suicane75]

Can you confirm you got my money, cause as soon as i can i'm gettin my money out of there, football starts soon.

[korme]

got it, thanks baby

(said it again bitch)

[Radii]

*Very Grumpy*

I think we were probably both destined to go all in on that one. If an ace flopped I'm not sure what I would have done, if the flop was Q-high you would have destroyed me. I was terrified you had AA, and I've busted out of the last few tournaments 2 or 3 out of the money going for first instead of trying to sneak in the money, I probably would have backed off if an A fell, but aside from that I was probably going all in.

[cthomer5000]

me and rgunner are in the 10+1 tourney, anyone else in?

it's at the first break and we're both doing pretty good.

[Suicane75]

got it, thanks baby

(said it again bitch)


Say it too often and I may start to like it.

[korme]

you tease

[korme]

this tourney is a way better deal (if you didnt know i have been watching you ct)

whsox21 got 70th out of the 2000 or so in a 3+0, and... got $11 dollars. Comparative to this out of 1000, if you get 35th, you're going home with $141.

$10,000,000 for first. If you get first I'll pay you back all your losses to me for a simple G.

Fair?

[cthomer5000]

im on th ropes

[cthomer5000]

definitely dying a tortuously slow death right now. Haven't gotten 1 serious all-in hand in a looooooong time

down to 1,965

[RGunner]

I just beat AA with 88 myself to double up to almost 15k, guy gave me a free card and i hit my set :)

[cthomer5000]

im going to need to double up about 5 times to have aserious chance at hanging around.

[cthomer5000]

going all in with Qto

[cthomer5000]

Q high flush.. is it good?

[cthomer5000]

no. :(

[cthomer5000]

I feel so dejected. Hopefully I can go clean up at Party.

[RGunner]

Well I might be out soon, guy playing garbage cards gets lucky and puts me down alot

[sabotai]

I'll never understand why people give away free cards when they have a high pair. I've been given great hands from people who try to slow play a pair.

[RGunner]

And I'm still alive after two double ups, one with T9 and i flopped a set and then another with AA, still way below average but now im at a point where i dont have to go all in no matter what

[korme]

AA is the one hand I will let cards come out, because hopefully I want one guy to catch a high pair, and start betting me.. no use of raising, everyone folds pre-flop and you waste your AA on the blinds.

I love it when you talk strategy.

Same Here, with a A or K on the board, I wasn't going to risk it, but really.. I wish I had thought it out, after the all in, if I'm representing Queens, Kings, or Aces with that board, what are you saying with that all in re-raise? That you STILL have me beat?

[cthomer5000]

AA is the one hand I will let cards come out, because hopefully I want one guy to catch a high pair, and start betting me.. no use of raising, everyone folds pre-flop and you waste your AA on the blinds.
That is a fantastic way to lose all your money.

[SirFozzie]

agreed. you need to push SLIGHTLY with AA pre flop, and get rid of the suited connectors, and the like. When the flop comes, assuming it's not a scary flop (ie, a pair on the board, or all suited), you gotta push stronger.. you cannot give people free shots to make a set or a straight, etcetera

[MJ4H]

AA and AK are commonly BADLY misplayed. A nice source of my profits, I'd say. AK is overplayed so often it is almost comical (one guy recently gave me all his money trying to run me off of my set of nines for instance).

With AA you can't treat it like it's a full house. It's just one pair. Yes you are best preflop every time, but that may not last, especially multi-way.

[DukeRulesMAB]

There a tournament this week? Alright if I jump in midstream if there is?
