This one should be fun! Good luck everyone

[liladypokerpro]

I agree. Hoping to make this one without a hitch. I get off work at 6am tomorrow morning, so I should be able to muster myself out of bed before 1pm.

[gamer4life27]

Thanks for the nomination! Gl all and see you all on the felt.

[gamer4life27]

No bounty and no staff? Lol. Maybe next time? It is always fun playing with a staff memeber especially with a bounty on their heads.

[liladypokerpro]

Great game fellas, it was fun as always and thanks rakeback.

[dew12109]

I took 3rd, Frob took 2nd, and the coolerer (aka liladypokerpro) took 1st.

Thanks rakeback.

[gamer4life27]

Didn't I tell you guys that it is ALWAYS up to me to make the tough decisions? Now how am I going to get the taste of this groseness from this hand out of my mouth? UUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe the case Q came out to set you up there. FTP is rigged imo

Here is a hand for your case too...

What a great game. I was a little disappointed it was a turbo. So we had only about 45 minutes of total play instead of a good hour and a half or more like last week. Still, I can't complain.

Here's the last hand:


Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em Tournament, 100/200 Blinds (2 handed) - Full-Tilt
Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

saw flop | saw showdown

Hero (Button) (t4760)
SB (t5740)

Hero's M: 15.87

Preflop: Hero is Button with ,
Hero calls t100, SB bets t600, Hero raises to t1800, SB calls t1200

Flop: (t3600) , , (2 players)
SB bets t800, Hero raises to t2960 (All-In), SB calls t2160

Oh man, it took me a second or two but I liked my shove here a lot. I had three-bet, representing a big Ace... and that bet looked a little small. So I figured I could get a 10 to fold here too. After a whole lot of thinking, I was called. I guess lilady expects that I could do this with a bunch of hands and her's might be best. If not, she might have as many as 10 outs. I don't know that I could count all 10 here, because if I have an Ace, it's more like 4 outs. But I think she expects me to call with an Ace here. I'm not 100% sure.

She called and did, in fact, have 10 outs.

Turn: (t9520) (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: (t9520) (2 players, 1 all-in)

You have to love Full Tilt.

Total pot: t9520

Results:
Hero had 9, 9 (one pair, nines).
SB had J, Q (straight, Ace high).
Outcome: SB won t9520

[liladypokerpro]

Yeah that QQ vs AQ hand shocked the hell outta me too I can't lie. FTP is something else......

Tell ya what, the only thing I miss about playing on Nordica is no password fish... man! You know one of those beggars actually tracked me down on another table and was begging so much he got his chat revoked for 2 minutes?? LMAO!! I jumped in a play chip game cuz I signed on a half hour too early, and that Marko guy jumped right in and started begging... I was like WTF??? Then he comes to the actual ptotw table and starts up again when he gets his chat back LOL

[liladypokerpro]

Yeah frob, I had to think a lot on that one... nearly had to get extra time. Knew I was potentially looking at 10 outs, and when the pot was something like 7300+ vs a call of 2160, it looked even better. I also know how tricky you can be, and honestly had you pegged on a smaller pair trying to rep the A. When I finally decided it was worth it, and saw your hand, I kind of sighed a small hint of relief. Then the turn sealed the deal.... the river just put salt in the wound. LOL

[frob23]

Yeah, I think it's hilarious though. They see a $100 freeroll with less than 10 people playing in it and think, "I bet they'll give me the password if I ask enough times."

You know, it doesn't really work for freerolls with 100s of people. But why would someone in a small private tournament want to give up that much equity to some random fool just because they asked for the password?

[dew12109]

I'm kind of shocked FTP didn't put up a 9 on the turn, and then a K on the river.

I did have fun. Since I woke up late, I literally came to the computer at like 12:10 and just clicked fold to any bet because I knew you guys didn't expect me to be there. Then I woke up with two PP's back to back and got to shove all in pre-flop to announce my presence. That might have been more fun than the rest of the match. It took two full orbits of my trying to quickly click the fold to any bet button before I caught a glimpse of a decent hand. I actually thought I had given it away in the previous UTG orbit... as I missed the box when I tried to click, so I had to quickly recover.

I guess I'm glad I did show up late to miss all of this. The password fish are really annoying. I don't know who in their right mind would think it would be worth it to type the password in the chat box of a private freeroll. I mean, I don't think rakeback would be too happy with you when they inevitably found out, and that's on top of the equity thing. Lol, I just think telling them everytime random passwords is fun. Rakeback better not every make the password "password" since no one could have fun with them anymore.

[liladypokerpro]

The auto registered reply I had almost worked LOL Some fish are smarter than others though

[frob23]

LOL... I got a kick out of telling them it was rakeback97 -- after the late registration period had ended. Sure, it was just as invalid as the rest of the fake passwords... but it seemed like it could have really been that. And now it was too late for them to type it in.

[liladypokerpro]

LOL we are evil

[dew12109]

Lol... that's pretty funny too. Now I kind of wish I had been there to lol at some of that stuff.

[liladypokerpro]

When Eye was still in the game, he got them all riled up and pissed off and they started cussing him LOL At that point I had enough of them and turned off the observer chat LOL Desperation is so pathetic sometimes...
