In The Money

[PeterBurns]

Damn Manny dragged me into PokerStars.
So I'm playing a tournament right now.

#16428961

In the Money fools
I'm rich bitch

[2centsworth]

can't find tourney.

[MannyIsGod]

me either.

[Kori Ellis]

Peter must be just playing with himself (as usual). :lol

[MannyIsGod]

:lol

The SNGs at PokerStars are awesome. I haven't played any MTTs there yet, but I'm sure their good as well. They take too damn long though.

I withdrew my cash from PokerStars to max out a Party bonus, but I should be good to go again once I clear the bonus tomorrow.

[Taco]

Peter must be just playing with himself (as usual). :lol

:lol

If he beats himself he'll be known as a Peter Beater

[E20]

Can I play?
Do you play online or in an actual tournament, I tried going to the site it looked like a bunch of crap all the links led to the samething.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

can't find tourney.


I checked it earlier, it was a 25$ tourney he finished 3rd and took in 45$

[PeterBurns]

I just wish that Party Poker had the options for tournaments like PokerStars.

I hate the PokerStars setup and chip/pot style.

But I like the amount of 50 to 180 man tournaments they have also

[MannyIsGod]

I love the stack amounts and blind structures for Stars. Party is a crapshoot. 800 chips for a tourney is ridiculous. I can't even throw out a few raises because if I have to raise AK or AQ and it doesn't hit, or JJ and I get overcards and action, I'm shortstacked like a motherfucker. So then, at the 25/50 level I'm already stealing blinds just so I'm not in a race situation the moment I get a hand.

No way man, I'm tearing through the 10-1s on Stars because it lets me play TAG.

[Jimcs50]

Hey dumbass, I was trying to talk to you in the tourney when you had about 1400 in chips...you were oblivious, or just being a snob.


:flipoff

[Jimcs50]

Guys, I just finished in top 5 in a $22 buy in tournament just now at Fulltiltpoker, the top 5 places won a spot in tomorrows $216.00 buyin tournament.

First place is a WSOP entry...that is $10,000 :elephant

Check it out today....tournament #2042533

I almost went to download FT Jim, but I don't plan on playing there so meh. Good luck though!

FT is a good site, they have a 100% bonus up to 600... probably a bitch to clear though

Make good decisions every hand and watch everyhand too even if you're not involved. BE FEARLESS! Good Luck.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Don't be afraid to lay down a big hand if you think you're beat

[Jimcs50]

Make good decisions every hand and watch everyhand too even if you're not involved. BE FEARLESS! Good Luck.

Thanks man. :)

These guys that play in these 200 dollar buy in tourneys are pretty crafty...they usually do not make too many boneheaded mistakes..I will have to have my A+ game....for sure.

[Jimcs50]

Don't be afraid to lay down a big hand if you think you're beat


Sounds like sage advice.

Will do.

[Jimcs50]

119 entered now....damn...that is enough competition.

[Jimcs50]

I will keep you guys updated in here tonight.

[Jimcs50]

lost a ton on QQ to Big Slick

[MannyIsGod]

FT is a good site, they have a 100% bonus up to 600... probably a bitch to clear though
Yeah, I thought about doing some whoring with them or absolute, but the competition is so tough with people doing the same I'm not sure it is really worth it

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Yeah, I thought about doing some whoring with them or absolute, but the competition is so tough with people doing the same I'm not sure it is really worth it


I'm sure if you played full tilt exclusively on friday and saturday nights, you won't have a tough time finding a soft game

[MannyIsGod]

Don't be afraid to lay down a big hand if you think you're beat
Thats the toughest thing to do but one of the most important in MTTs. I know I can't do it worth a damn.

[Jimcs50]

The only reason I bet so much on QQ was because the guy I was in against was betting on shit all night and sucking out on the river

[MannyIsGod]

I'm sure if you played full tilt exclusively on friday and saturday nights, you won't have a tough time finding a soft game
True, and if I can get a rakeback deal it might be worth it.

[MannyIsGod]

The only reason I bet so much on QQ was because the guy I was in against was betting on shit all night and sucking out on the river
QQ is a great hand man. There are only 2 prelop hands that are better, and preflop your a slight favorite against AK.

I dno't think losing QQ to AK is a mistake. Just the breaks sometimes.

[Jimcs50]

I have had the worst cards in my life tonight..I am seeing only 19% of the flops

[MannyIsGod]

Um, I only see about 19% on a normal night. In a tourney it drops down untill the later stages where I'm stealing blinds, but then I don't want to see a flop most of the time. I just want people to fold preflop.

But 19% in a tourney before the middle stages probably means you're seeing too many flops and playing too many cards.

[Jimcs50]

I am coming back some..I bluffed my ass off on an all in

[Jimcs50]

65 remaining, I am 700 behind the average pot size

[MannyIsGod]

Thats not in too bad of a shape really. Try to steal some blinds when you ahve medicore hands (k10, a8) but don't be afraid to dump them if you get reraised. If you hit a monster and double up, you're back in business, but if the blinds are high enough try to steal a few and you'll have a good stack as well. Then if you can at least steal one set of blinds per orbit, you can sit back and wait for a monster and hopefully you'll double up. But don't waste your chips away on marginal hands. Thats death.

[Jimcs50]

I am up to 23%

[Jimcs50]

I just lost my whole stack 2700 on one hand.


I had 5-6 of diamonds on the button, the guy to my left raised to $120, I called, a 5, 6 and 3 flopped, I bet the pot, $500, and the guy to my left raised to 1200, I went all in knowing I had him beat, because of his raise.

He turned over 10-10 and a freaking 10 came on the river.

:depressed

[2centsworth]

i feel you.

[MannyIsGod]

That sucks.

[E20]

Can I play?
Do you play online or in an actual tournament, I tried going to the site it looked like a bunch of crap all the links led to the samething.

[MannyIsGod]

You can play. We play on PokerStars.com You have to download their software then intall it. Then you can make a deposit.

[MannyIsGod]

Speaknig of which, lets get another tourney setup.

Who is in? Maybe we can make it a weekly thing.

[Slomo]

I like the idea of a weekly ST tourney

[Jimcs50]

Ther guy that knocked me out of the tournament finished 3rd and won $2500 ...glad to see my chips do someone some good.

:)

[2centsworth]

That's your 2500 Jim.

I'm up for a weekly S&G.

[Jimcs50]

I just finished in top 4 in another Satellite Tournament to Saturday's $200+16 WSOP Satellite tournament.

There was a huge battle in the final 5 players as nobody wanted to be the 5th place guy, as all he won was $98. I finally knocked out the 5th guy with pocket 9s against pocket 5s.

:elephant

The same guy that knocked me out of the last tournament and won $2500 in 3rd place, was in the final 4 with me, so we will be going at it again. I almost knocked him out earlier, had he called, because I had an A high straight and he folded to what would have been a bet to put him all in....I wanted his ass.

:)

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Jim, I think it would be smarter to play in a money tournament rather than a WSOP, try to win a seat to one of the 50k or 100k tourneys, and if you win money in one of those, play in a WSOP Circuit event rather than the Main Event, because now that 7000 people enter the Main Event, its basically a crap shoot.

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah, but I'd love to be there just to be there.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Yeah, but I'd love to be there just to be there.

Hmmm, I think you have alot better odds in a circuit event rather than the ME, plus a circuit event is cheaper, most of the same pro's will be there, less fish players will be entered in the tourney, so less possibility of a bad beat to end your tourney.

But I do understand what you are saying Manny, I definitely wouldn't mind playing in the ME, even though I'd have to get extrordiarily lucky to win it, or even cash in it.

[MannyIsGod]

Man, I'd want to just be at Helmuths or Matasaus table so I could knock one of them out. That would make my day. :)

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Man, I'd want to just be at Helmuths or Matasaus table so I could knock one of them out. That would make my day. :)

Easier said than done, but it would be funny to see Helmuth or The Mouth cussing you out on espn. :lol

[MannyIsGod]

:lmao

Yeah, man. I can dream.

[Jimcs50]

First things first, I have to play well enough and get lucky just to win this tourney on Sat, which will probably have around 120 players.

The ME would be cool, and if you survive the first 2 days, you win money, so you can make some money in that too.

[Jimcs50]

Man, I'd want to just be at Helmuths or Matasaus table so I could knock one of them out. That would make my day. :)

They would have you and me for lunch, Manny....it would be like challenging Steve Kerr to a 3 pt shooting contest.

:)

[Jimcs50]

I am chip leader so far in the big tournament.

:elephant

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

what tourney # and what site?

[Jimcs50]

the 216 dollar tournament at Fultilt poker

[Jimcs50]

The same guy put me out again just now that put me out in the last 216 tourney.

I had JJ, he had A-9

an ace flopped


Unbelievable

He was telling me earlier when I was the chip leader that he was coming after me when he was 6K behind on another table, and I had just switched to a new table with him and the very first hand, he eliminates me...that is awfully suspicious.

[MannyIsGod]

A-9 was death for me last night. That sucks, he only has 3 outs against you and they hit. Good play though.

[Jimcs50]

Played 2 hrs 45 mins and for nothing.

:depressed

Lost a good portion of my stack earlier with Ks and Js against 3 aces.

Went from 2nd place to 16th out of 50 in that one hand.

:depressed

[MannyIsGod]

KJ is a marginal hand. Its hard to play it strongly in a tournament. I might play a MTT tonight. They are usually pretty fun.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

I played in one earlier today, and lost pocket Q's to pocket A's on the first hand

[MannyIsGod]

:lol

Man, that just sucks.

I just signed up for a free roll on party where they award 1 in 15 a sat seat to a 100k tourney. Shit cost me half of the points I've earned on that site, but I'd love to play in a tourney with a 100,000 dollar prize pool!

[Slomo]

Manny,

Saw you in the last three at a Poker Stars SNG tourney. How did you finish?

[MannyIsGod]

Just right now? I busted out in 3rd.

I had 66, and the shortstack had raised so I rereaised him all in. He calls and shows Q8 and he hits an ace high straight and wins.

Next hand comes and I had JJ. Once again, me and the shortstack (although he's not much shorter than me now) go heads up all in. He has A10 so he only has 3 outs (the aces) to beat me. Ace hits on the flop.

I'm now pretty short stacked, and I get 33 in the next hand. I push hoping to at least get the blinds and the leader calls. He shows 44! Neither one of us hit so he wins.

:lol

[Slomo]

Ouch!

I just finished in 2nd in a similar SNG.

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah, it was a pretty rough stretch! It happens.

Nice job finishing 2nd though!

[Slomo]

Thanks!

Didn't you just finished in 1st? :spin

[Jimcs50]

I just won another spot in another $216 WSOP satellite tournament just now with a top 6 finish in another $24 tournament.

I play tomorrow night.

Wish me luck, guys

:elephant

[Slomo]

Good luck!

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

8 pm cst

I'l probably check it out for awhile, I hope you knock out that guy this time.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Good Luck man, But you better mention my name when you are on ESPN at the final table of the main event.

[MannyIsGod]

Jim, is this on Stars?

[Jimcs50]

That guy, Betbig was on the last table with me last night, so we are both in this tonight. We were talking about our history against each other last night with the others. I hope we both make it to the last table tonight and I can knock him out for a change.

This is a big field....130 so far.

[MannyIsGod]

i'm playing in a 5 dollar MTT with 1500 entrants. Down to 700 and I have double the average stack. I'm having a shitty time of it at the cash games tonight, so if I could do something in this that'd be sweet as hell.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Damn Jim, Runner runner 2 pair nice, right back in it.

[MannyIsGod]

:lol Lucky bastard.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

he did have a flush draw though

[Jimcs50]

I am out...went out in 49th place...went all in with 10-2 for my last 1500 in chips...the blinds were killing me, and I was not getting any cards at all all night

[MannyIsGod]

I've turned LJ into my protege. :lol

You are so consescending to me about poker. Yet when I moved to your table, you had over four times as many chips as me. But within an hour or two, you were on your way home while I was in a heads up battle to win a 20-person tourney.

So maybe, sometimes you have to stray from the book and just read some people and take them down?

And sometimes it's just luck. :)

[Mr. Defense]

hey Kori, what did you read from me last time...besides the fact that i was a drunken idiot...:lol

Temporary losses. ;)

You know I'm just playing with you Kori. You've probably beat me more than I've beat you.

See, poker IS luck.

I learned how to play poker when I was 8. My uncle used to have poker parties at our house almost every weekend and I used to stand behind him and watch them play.

When I was college, I played every weekend and made extra money to buy shoes and purses (scholarships paid for school).

I just play the opposite of how you play, so it bothers you. :lol You fold your way to victory (or to losses) and I play more on reads and hunches. Phil Ivey plays like I play. So it must not be that bad (and I know it's a lot more fun). :smokin

[MannyIsGod]

I don't play passive at all. I just don't play K2o. I'm not the tightest player by any means.

:)

Actually, online when I play NL I'm a lot more aggressive than I am with you guys. Thats because theres a lot of super tight passive players. So I can take a lot of pots down with jack shit. They are usually small but it adds up.

With you guys, I can't read some of you but I know that you play ultra loose, so I tighten up a lot. The times I don't I get myself into trouble (10-8 2 pair anyone?), so I'm better off waiting for the hands I can play strongly.

But your style does throw me off my usual game.

[2centsworth]

Until you've won or lost 10k in a sitting you haven't really played poker.

[MannyIsGod]

DAmn, that sounds like a story.

[scott]

I invite all you poker studs and studettes to call me whenever you get an inch to play. I can have my table set up and ready to go in 10 mintes (after I get it back from Pete, that is).

I'm really not very good. But Matt is pretty good, you should play him on Yahoo Messenger sometime.

[Mr. Defense]

matt?

not the pinoy pounder?

or do you mean guru?

i'm down. :tu

[Slomo]

:lmao

It's just a matter of style Manny. You think you are awesome because you are so patient and conservative. If I played everyday, I'd win just as often as you do. I just don't play online because, to me, a lot of the game is interaction with other people.
:tu

That's the reason I started playing in Casinos and the biggest kick I get from the game. It's also the reason why I only play online from time to time - I get bored way to quickly.

I PMed you.

My bad, I won a 14+1 tourney...I had forgotten what the buyin was. :oops

Anyway, it would be cool if you can join Fulltiltpoker, Sequ.

[MannyIsGod]

I joined Full Tilt so that I can watch the pros play. The software is kinda cool, but its really cartoonish. Anyhow, I'll be looking out for Ivey and others, but I don't know if I'll deposit money there.

[Kori Ellis]

The software is kinda cool, but its really cartoonish.

In your options, you can get rid of the cartoon people and change the background, cards, table, etc. I use FullTilt for playing for free -- I never play online for real money.

[MannyIsGod]

I'm currently in the last 35 of a tourney that started with 800 people. I am a good deal into the money, but it was only a 2 dollar tourney so right now i'm bringin in a huge 10 bucks.

I'm tired, but I hava decent stack so hopefully I can make the final table.

[MannyIsGod]

30 left and I know have the 3rd largest stack!

[MannyIsGod]

Oh, what a damn good time to get rockets!

I'm not sure if I'm happy with that call. It was a coinflip, but KQs is a good hand. I just don't know if it was too early to push. I had about 12 BB left, so maybe it was a just a bit early.

The guys reraise with 4s wasn't what I'd call a good move.

On second thought, this would have been a great place for Raymer's "Stop and Go". I missed out a good chance to make that play there.

Too bad this wasn't a tourney for a decent buy in. 4 1/2 hours of play for 32 bucks blows.

[MannyIsGod]

I'm about to money again in a late night tourney. Party has a 2500 freeroll each night. I've got a decent stack with about 35 people left. Top 30 make the money, and the money is much better this time around. Hopefully I can make another final table.

[MannyIsGod]

Out in 19th for 40 bucks. I ran smack dab into aces, bummer.

[Das Texan]

i need to start playing again on a more regular basis.

but my luck has been in the crapper for a good 2 months.

but i need to start playing again, my problem with online poker often is that i get too easily distracted *shrugs*
