Still alive in the PokerStars tourney

[cartman]

Well, I'm still in after the 2nd break. Out of the 1570 that started, 448 are left. I'm in 143rd. If you want to watch (ala SirFozzie), I'm CartmanG at table 147.

[TLK]

[TLK]

[cartman]

[TLK]

[TLK]

[cartman]

he's on tilt right now

[cartman]

but he climbed back up to $10K+

[cartman]

damn, the pocket 5s again

[cartman]

he can have that one

[cartman]

crap

[TLK]

didn't see that 3rd '8' coming....

[cartman]

pocket pair

[cartman]

nope, I'd figured with the A we'd at least split the 2 pair

[cartman]

that was nice

[TLK]

nice hand

[cartman]

pocket pair yet again

[cartman]

hmmm....

[cartman]

[Fouts]

[TLK]

[cartman]

A8 in the hole

[TLK]

[Fouts]

Some pretty good payouts, but I cant see myself putting up the $200+ to enter.

[TLK]

that was some crazy shit....

[cartman]

AKs

[Suicane75]

Not only does winning this tourney get ya some big cash, but it puts you in a super position to earn the shot to play the WSOP champ guy heads up next sunday.

[cartman]

$$$$

:D

[cartman]

now off to the bathroom!

[Chappy]

I'm watching now. Go for it Cartman!

[cartman]

I'm in 63rd out of 135 after the 3rd break

[cartman]

now we'll see if this tourney goes to form, and loosens up considerably now that everyone is in the money.

[cthomer5000]

anyone entering the $3 tourney coming up in like 5 minutes?

[cartman]

ouch

[TLK]

you played that right.... imo

[cartman]

he disguised his Js very well

[TLK]

I was hoping you were slow-playing an A

[cartman]

I probably should have represented that on the bet after the flop.

[robbgmaier]

good luck cartman, i'm finally watching, hope im good luck

[Suicane75]

Made the top 99

[cartman]

yep, but I'm gonna need some help to get to the next group

[TLK]

why play this long (and make it this far) and then call someone with 94o..... and I don't care that he won :)

[cartman]

lol

[cartman]

pocket Qs

[cartman]

here goes

[cartman]

whew

[Suicane75]

Nice

[TLK]

[cartman]

I'm glad he showed those Qs. Made laying down feel a little bit better

[cartman]

here we go

[Suicane75]

$628 guaranteed

[cartman]

AK for me

[TLK]

i didn't catch the Q's.... i feel better myself :)

[cartman]

(cue the Bee Gees)

[SirFozzie]

How much bank time you got Cartman? Now that it's not hand for hand, take your time ;)

[cartman]

all of the time bank left, baby :)

[SirFozzie]

No attempts to steal? I'd be trying to improve myself here

[TLK]

vacheron has all the luck in the world....

[SirFozzie]

8 More to the next bump!

[Fouts]

scared me with the disconnect.

[cartman]

Pocket 6s. Do or die time

[TLK]

damn

[SirFozzie]

Ouch. 1-upped/

[Comey]

Oh man...tough hand to go out on.

Great tourney, Cartman! I caught the very end of it...but enjoyed every hand!

[Suicane75]

Just about tripled your money, good game dude.

[cartman]

oh well, it was a good run

[SirFozzie]

Anyone for a $5 or $10 tourney?

[TLK]

nice run cartman

[cartman]

Thanks for the support, guys! It was a blast playing with a peanut gallery watching :D

[SirFozzie]

Nice to see my record still stands.. ;)

Seriously.. helluva run Cartman

[Fouts]

I just dropped 50 bucks in Poker Stars. Thanks for the motivation.

[SirFozzie]

BTW Fouts, I remember you said that you like the big tournies, just you couldn't see throwing $215 in..

Most of the time, I qualify for the weekly by playing a sattelite ($3, $11, usually rebuys)

[korme]

how much did you win cart??!

[cartman]

69th place out of 1570. If I had to finish anywhere other than 1st, that's the best spot I guess

:D

[cartman]

how much did you win cart??!

$628. Not bad for an afternoon of card playin'.

[Fouts]

Haven't played in a tourney with rebuys yet. I think I would get carried away. What exactly is sattelite tournament?

[cartman]

A satellite tournament gives you a chance to win a seat at one of the higher entry fee tournaments. Like the one I just finished, they will have $20 entry fee tournaments to win a seat at the $200 tournament. That's how SirFozzie has gotten into a few of the tournaments.

[cartman]

Dola reply,

I don't like rebuys for that very reason. People make some really questionable plays, because they know they have the safety net of the rebuy.

[Fouts]

Nevermind, figured it out. The tournament is a satellite to another tournament. Giving it a try.

Edit: Thanks for the reply.

[TLK]

It's like a QB throwing an INT and then giving the ref $200, to have the call overturned....

[Fouts]

Well, finished 72 of 513 in my first real money satellite tourney. I had no rebuys. Top 15 go to the $500+30 tourney next Sunday.
