The tourney lasted about 5 hours both times.
The longest I played at a cash game was in Vegas 2 years ago. I played 42 of 44 hours, stopping to eat twice.

We had 6 guys play in the poker tourney Friday night at Coushatta.
78 players started, 8 tables.
Unbelievable, that 4 of us made Final Table.
We all agreed to chop up the prize money.
Top four(me included) got $880
Other six got $620
It cost me only $70 to play, because I did not have to rebuy, I only added on at break( 3500 chips for $50), so I made a sweet profit of over $800. I tipped $80 to dealers and the four of us gave $50 each to the other two guys who did not cash so the basically got their money back, so still cleared about 700 bones.
I got my reservations for my 4th trip to a WSOP even over Memorial Day weekend. Leaving Friday returning Tuesday.Plating in a $1000 buyin tourney this time. Anyone want join us?
you guys fkn tip dealers? i thought thats illegal man
illegal to tip dealers? Since when? of course you tip the dealers.
you guys should watch high stakes poker. you can learn a lot by it.
if i have KK and and ace is on flop, i always try to keep the pot small and not get crazy, i tend to check/call the flop. More information that way then being in a blind spot when you get check raised.
If I have KK and and ace flops, I throw up my hands in disgust and whine that I have ace magnets.....for some reason, whoever I am playing against always seems to bet strong after that.
In a lot of countries you can't tip the dealers. Oz is one such country. But they get a nice wage instead, somewhere around $25/hr I think.
Really, that would be boring job if you can't anticipate a big tip every now and then.
My Monday night cash game was quite good to me last night. I won 1600, and took in another 650 in insurance. I did not get popped on insurance even one time.
I made a huge semi bluff that made my night.
There is a raise to $40 and a call in front of me, I am in small blind. I look down and low and behold, AA. I decided to isolate or just take the 85 in the pot. I reraise to $200. I get one caller and the 2nd guy folds....sweet.
Flop Jc 9c 6c, not a good flop to mess around with, so I bet $350, the guy calls. Now I put him on a reasonable big pair with a club. I announce to the table when I see the flop that I did not like it, but that I had the ace clubs, so I had outs.I lied.(I had As Ad)
Turn Ac
Now everyone laughs and calls me a liar.
I have 650 left in front of me, so if I check, he might bet his hand and he would be pot committed and call a raise from me if he had any club. I decided that I need to represent KK with the King clubs, so I go all in.
If he calls, with a flush, I have 10 outs to fill up or make quads, but I want him to fold.
I get up, go get more coffee, and act like I do not care what he does. He asks me what I have, I tell him that if he has a set or two pair, he has outs and should go ahead and call......he flips over 10 10 with the 10 clubs, so he has me beat, but he lays it down. I show him my set of aces and he curses at himself, but I think most players can not call there with the Qc and Kc possibly being in my hand, because with my preflop raise, I had to have Qs, Ks or aces, and with my all in, I more than likely had the bigger flush.
BTW, there was a queen on river, so I would have lost my stack, had he called.
#$%^& I'm on a cursed run of tournaments.

Blinds 500/1000 100 ante
I'd had b.s. cards all tourney, just been picking my spots, waiting for the chance to nail the unbelievable dumb ___ table leader that's been sucking out continually with his idiotic plays. Ie he calls with J9off after the flop of J52 spades with no spade and calling all into an AsJh. Turn and flop no spade but he sucks with a 9.
I've got about 12K stack, ave stack is who the ___ knows since this cheap assed place just got brand new signs but wont buy the software to post # of players left, ave stack, etc. But I'm below medium but not tiny. So i need a timely hit. SuckOut has got about 30K.
I'm in 6th position on a 10 seater. Everyone folds to me, i just call with AJd's. More folds up to Dumbass in the small blind who raises it to 2K, BigBlind folds. I simply call the 2K as i want to see a flop.
Ac
Qc
6d
Dumbass moves all in. I study him, figure he is not on a flush draw. Do not put him on AQ or set of 6's as why would he move all in in front of me? I place him on A with a so so kicker or Queen with a good kicker not Ace. Figure all i have to fear is AK and he doesnt have it.
I call his all in.
Sure enough, he has A/10 no clubs. I plop down my AJ and the whole table cheers because they are sick of this guy too.
Turn is a 10. River is whatever. He pumps his fists in the air and does the gutteral "yeah, yeah!!".
Reward a Re is how my tournaments have ALL been ending.
I'm playing nothing more then deepstacks from now on. Problem is this area has NO deepstacks, save for Pala who just started a beauty one.
30K chips to start
550 buy in (steep but you can sattelite your way in as they have a day before mini tourney that the 1st 20!!! get a seat.)
What's been happening with you all?
