We will send the tournament password to all of the nominees. This tournament is ONLY for the nominees, so we ask you to keep the password for yourself.

We reserve the right to ask Poker Nordica to not pay anyone who had access to the tournament outside of these players.

If you do not have an account at Poker Nordica yet, open a rakeback deal with Poker Nordica now.

I may or may not be able to play. Ever since the tourneys changed from Saturday to Sunday it's been conflicting with other tournaments on the same network, but I'll do my best to make it if possible.

Thanks rakeback

Good luck to all, whether I make it in time or not.

[bowlaman]

I hope work doesnt call me in again. As of now I am good to go. That invite sounds fun.

[dew12109]

liladypokerpro, do you get invited to all of these things?

You should play in this... I'd like to play at the same table as you sometime.

[GainerRakeback]

Thanks Rakeback.com for the invite. I just hope this time I don't flop trip 10s on the very first hand and bust out again like last week !

[Invitees should note this is a Sunday again and PokerNordica.com time is off by 1 hour. That should correct itself here in the USA (I think) once we turn the clocks back an hour on 11/2/08].

RB: I might also suggest that the top 3 places pay instead of just the top 2 since 15 players were invited. (50/35/15)?.

If 10 or more people register, 3 places will pay. And it will be 50/30/20... which is the standard payout scale for that number of players. RB doesn't control the payout structure because it's determined by Nordica for these tournaments.

For this tournament, the payouts will be the following (depending on how many people sign up):
2 players: 100
3-9 players: 70/30
10-15 players: 50/30/20

It would seem that way wouldn't it lol but no I don't. If I don't make it, don't worry...one of these days when we're both online we'll play together. Wyte and I do once in a while, too.

[gorden71]

Thanks for the invite. I had agood time in the last one, hopefully Ill stick around a little longer in this one. Good luck to all who play.

[liladypokerpro]

Well I am registered although I don't know yet if I'll be able to make it or not. Aside from schedule conflicts with another tournament on a sister Merge site, we are having hellacious wind here today, and may lose power before all's said and done. So got my fingers crossed, but not holding my breath...

[phaul]

Just made my account, but it's not been validated yet! Will play if I can.

[phaul]

OK, I'm in.

[liladypokerpro]

Rats we need one more person to register for the top 3 spots to pay out.....

[Wyte22]

I didn't get it this week or i'd play =\

but I won a sat to the Sunday Brawl lol

[dew12109]

Ugh... I played horribly in this. Next time... just be prepared... hopefully I'll have some more sleep before.

[frob23]

I am happy with the way I played. Sure, I was first out but even if I knew Krahsami had 8-8, I would have played the same way because there is no way I could expect him to call in that spot. lol

Congratulations Krahsami for making 1st. And good game sunkistkid for picking up 2nd.

But best of all, PlzDontChaseMe wins the player of the week award this week... for taking 3rd place... when she wasn't even playing in the tournament.

[bowlaman]

took 2nd. now im playin a cash game to test the nordica waters =] ty Rakeback.

[bowlaman]

well that lasted long. hit KK at a .25-.50 table and raised 4X. guy im SB called. flopped a set and bet $4 he reraised all in. I called he shows a flush draw and hits on turn. by $30... Well i guess thats poker for ya.

[MikeyInc]

sorry i missed it guys.. long weekend .. lol

[liladypokerpro]

LOL I didn't even see Frob's comment so I didn't even know that I had placed since our power was out and I couldn't get on to play. I feel really bad about that. Someone playing should have gotten that $20.

And by the way Krahsami........all I'm gonna say is "I told you so" Good job!
