cartman's WCOOP follow along thread
 

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!

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

what's yoru PS username?

dola

CartmanG :)

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.

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.

go cartman!

moved to table 107

BOOYA

nice turn :)

(also: PHEW)

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

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.

Watching now. Good luck cartman!

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.

Has cartman been disconnecting regularly from his RV feed?

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

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.

he didn't show, no.

now the connection is really pissing me off

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

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.

watching also, good luck
now at table 310

nice nice. up to 11,430

Nice indeed

A couple of power moves there...

:D

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

How did you get in that tourney?

oh... $500 + $30.

looks like he timed out again.

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.

quad dola

$13,880 at the break

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.

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

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

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.

Dola--

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

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.

Double dola-

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

DOUBLE UP! AA vs AJ.

I was so concerned when that Jack flopped.

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

:D

niiiiiiiiiice

I need to learn to fold like you do.

Dang, didn't catch the flush card.

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

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