[gamer4life27]

Thanks for the invite. Good luck all, and hope to see you all there.

[liladypokerpro]

Thanks! Hope to be able to make it. Hold on to your britches and HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

[gamer4life27]

I would like to make a suggestion for future tourneys:

Since at PokerNordica you were able to distribute the prize pool between 5 people, I was wondering if you could do either that, or make it a min payout of 3 places. That way, if not that many people make it, then the money will be spread out instead of going to one person.

I personally like the fact about the money being spread around. It makes for a more friendly, and comfortable environment.

Edit: And having rakeback staff play in each one isn't too bad either.

[dew12109]

I will not give the password to this tournament out to ANYONE. Railmonkeys, you might as well not be bothering me while I'm playing poker. Thanks. If you ask me, I will be sarcastic and mean toward you, as you are bothering me while I am trying to focus on a game.

(Thanks for the invite Rakeback)

[gamer4life27]

I love the railbird donks who ask for the password. Like we are going to give it up, lol.

I have only had one so far and I messed with him/her so bad they cursed me out! LMAO!

[pokerbandit22]

thats just wrong gamer. they shouldnt play if they didnt get an invite.

Is it really that interesting to play against only 6 other players?

hmmm

Depending on the 6 players, yes it can be very interesting. Especially if there is a history between the players and you have developed an idea of how they play and they have developed an idea of how you play. It's a very different game when it's short-handed and there is a history among the players.

I prefer single table tournaments. It makes it even better when we've played several games against each other as most of us have. poker After Dark has been airing for years now, and it's based on 6 handed play exclusively. So yeah, I think it's a very good thing.

[Emberlajz]

I agree that single table are better... There is nothing worse than getting moved arround the tables all the time...

Those freakin two outers... Had one on me last night live to get out of a tournament, and again here to get me out. Here are my 3 last hands:

^4 outs.
Any K on the river

[liladypokerpro]

Sorry I missed the game fellas. I hope you had fun.

[dew12109]

You are having fun... you went out on the bubble. There are three of us still in

[liladypokerpro]

Wow that's kinda funny. I just woke up. We went to do karaoke last night and a big fight broke out and I ended up helping break it up. Of course my choice of targets was lucky because the closest guy to me was about six feet tall and probably 200+ pounds, but luckily he was all talk and no smacka da woman LOL So I talked him down and got him to go back inside the bar and shortly after the lil chit that started it all got picked up by the cops. Apparently he beat up his girlfriend outside the bar, which is what got the other guys involved. My buddy David took one and I took the big one LOL Luckily mine didn't put up much of a fight. I think it surprised him when I stiff-armed him in the chest and he actually didn't budge me. Ahhhh takes me back to the good old days.

[dew12109]

That sounds like a pretty crazy night. I luckily have never been in a situation like that.

And I'm out to AKo vs my 88 all-in pre-flop. I can't break past 3rd place for the life of me. Last 3 I've been in, I've gotten 3rd everytime.

[liladypokerpro]

Yeah I used to bounce before so unfortunately I've seen all too many of those kinds of situations. Only got injured once from it. Nothing too bad, just scratches/scrapes...and that was from a cat fight LOL The guys are a lot easier to handle than women, I don't care what anyone says LOL

Sorry you went out hun, but you must be building up a good roll little by little if you keep cashing.

[liladypokerpro]

Well guys y'all have a great 4th of July, I'm gonna head out and go get some food. It's raining here but a friend of ours has a covered patio and is grilling anyway.
