Trying... $46K now...

At what $K can you relax and sit out? (i.e. only play AA / KK)

mewso

Well I calculated that 80k approx. would be the average with 234 left so I reckon thats a pretty safe amount. Nothing cast in stone of course.

Juan Pablo

Gone in 916th place, got overly aggressive and paid the price! Shamkart is runnninng well tho, still has around 30k

Davey Devil

Ul JP, I'm down to 10k, it's the last stand soon.

Fourth break...26 TOP TABLES get a ticket, 79 tables left... getting close.
Note that tables 27 & 28 (& part of 29) get W$ (money back).

Up to $58K now but blinds are HUGE. (I don't like that, give me 2 hour blinds! )

Davey Devil

on 34k, best of luck jacques

You too.

Though its starting to become a crapshoot now with these blinds. Thus, anything can happen... I don't feel confident (yet).

Davey Devil

I'm gone, big multi way pot i had the nut flush draw. No spade. Maybe next year.

jacQues

Up to $100K and 36 tables left...getting awfully close! :eek:

Gl Jaques keep it goin

Jacques, what is your username?

Ok after looking, I think I found it as only galway player left, I shall be watching, best of luck

cardshark202

Im envious of all those big stacks. If it wasnt for AQ v A9 I reckon I would have a huge stack. Damn three outer.

LOL Smart thinking!!

Then again, most people on this poker section are...

Still on $100K. I think I may be able to fold myself into a ticket; not sure.

cooker3

I know, me is smart!

Well as I write this there are 281 players left, average stack will be 80,000 approx when bubble bursts, so yeah reckon you can fold your way to it, just don't get involved.

Good. I am really tired right now and won't be able to "play" much. Talking to HostDanM a lot just to stay awake. Very friendly chap. All-in pre-flop with AA/KK I can just about handle. lol

Break again...32 tables left...(281 players).....:eek: :eek:

ocallagh

how long do u think it will take to bust the remaining 48 players? play will tighten up considerably and blinds cost 11700 a round. You can afford to fold for only 3 rounds and still be ok.. I would imagine that is not enouugh so u'll need to play a few hands. Just make sure you've got the goods!! I would probably raise only in position, and I'd avoid getting involved with any stacks larger than you.

cooker3

Yep agreed, if you do have to get involved then in position and pick on midding stacks which are lower then you, big stacks and shortstacks are to be avoided!

Out of interest, how come you were playing a $6 SnG at same time!

For fun.

cooker3

good stuff getting those blinds when your were in sb, good to get you back at 100k mark

hotspur

Good stuff Jaques, ease it home, you Galway guys obviously play better poker than you do Magic!

A J off-suit that time.

And to further answer your previous question: I am a gamer. I enjoy playing games. Money comes third. (Having fun & winning are 1st / 2nd) Therefore, the buyin does not matter all that much to me.

In real life I am about even or up a little. On-line I'm still down.

I won the local Coldsnap pre-release....

BTW. Obviously we know each other... but who are you?

ocallagh

by my calculations you will be required to play about 40 more hands. That means 4.4 rounds. You have enough for 6 rounds. If you get a walk in the BB a few times you won't need to do much. Play is very tight now.. You should make it!! gl

hotspur

I'm Rob McKeon, and you must be a strange mixture of excited, happy, and yet excruciatingly bored right now!

u could all do a deal now and just miss out on the 1k expenses
