Aussie Millions 2007

Anyone heading down for this?

Day 1 of the main event begins on the 14th January. I'm going to try a few online qualifiers, failing that I'll probably head over for a live satellite prior to the main event.

Does anyone know of any decent value online qualifiers?

Thanks

If you mean good value as in an overlay for the players then I don't know of any offhand. I do know partypoker have a big oen coming up next sunday evening, but that's over $500 entrance fee, don't think there will be too many more tournies being run for this at this late stage.

Theres a $218 GF on tribeca on 29th Dec and some $3 feeders into it.
Theres 68 players reg'd right now(1 package and $2.4k at the moment) and i reckon there will be 2 $11k packages possibly 3.

Im heading down-under on the 3rd, traveling Oz for a few months. Planning to play the $1000 event and a few live sats.... A few quick Questions in reguards to the Crown Casino?
1) Is there a dress code?
2) What choice of cash games are on offer?
3) General standard of play?

Thanks

When I was visiting my sister in Melbourne in November 2003 I called into the Crown casino and played a few satellites.

As soon as I got to the desk they called Danny McDonagh (email poker@crowncasino.com.au) who is the poker manager. He was interested in any news about the Irish poker scene, and very helpful He told me he had worked in Ireland for half a year. I suggest you drop him an email. He is an ok guy.

I think I might pop down from Sydney for a few days, maybe play a super sat and then one of the freezeouts towards the end of the festival (think there is a $500 tournie during the 2nd week of the festival)

Found a flight to Melbourne for 700 on the 11th, very tempted, just need to do the VC bonus at breakeven poker first.

Is that a return flight?

No dress code in terms of what we are used to......I think their one rule is no flip-flops.

Thanks for posting that Aidan. I just registered now and was looking for online sats for it......Does anyone else know of any others around this buy-in?

No problem, could be a couple of options left on this list.

Flushdraw

Crashed out 6th in this satellite on PP. Carfax still going well..1st is $11k package and 2nd $8.5k cash

shoutman

Is carfax Idogu?

MrPillowTalk

Well done Ste, hope you repeat your result from last time you were at the crown, wp sir.

shoutman

He is and he is going to Australia, WP Stephen.

Edit: Fecking chap didnt have a clue what was going on messing about with the deal for a while with some randomer telling opponent storys about Jamie Gold so they are back playing.... actually its over other dude took it,

8k for ste and im sure something will be sorted out as the other guy cant go to oz.

MrPillowTalk

wow this Imrubbish guy is obviuosly mentally challenged, how did he get hu?

BrokenArrows

The standard dress code around australia seems to be smart casual

No flipflops as mentioned above, no singlets,

Dress shorts are accepted in the places ive been but sports shorts are not.

Havnt been to crown. Im building a bit of a bankroll at the moment in the gold coast just south of brisbane. Depending on how the next two weeks go i might come down for a few days.

shoutman

I thought it was strange when he said he had $2 in his account....

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Hate this feeling, so close and gave it away to some donk.......I was on his table at the very start of the tournament and he called two all-in players in one pot with by far the worst of it to treble up......And then he calls me a cheat when we're heads up!!!

Nice one Rob for the offer to transfer the $1k. Much appreciated. I don't play much on PP and only lodged the buy-in for that tournament just before it started.

Don't know whether to take the money and run or make the trip with a little bit of bumping up.....I do have the National Student Poker Champs' on Jan 27th so I will prob take the money and maybe head to an EPT.....

I just can't win heads up online!!! And he agreed to the deal but then kept on playing.....AAAAAhhhhh, lol.

sikes

ul man.
gl whatever you decide to do

Also fair play to robbie, dave etc for trying to sort something out. that guy was a clown tho

shoutman

that guy was a total a**clown, maybe try to fire off an email to paddy power and explain the situation, they guy might still want to do the deal so it could still be arranged...

Otherwise you could just add 8k to the National Student Poker Champs'.

Either way WP and you can never be too unhappy with $8k

i think there were far to may people trying to sort it out....
anyway ul man...
ps 2$ in his account lol....

BigCityBanker

Well done Stephen.

carfax

Cheers guys,

I'll fire off an email to Paddy Power now alright.

Ya never know.

Norwich Fan Rob

wp stephen , great result all the same.
i was waiting to get your man on a HU table to give him the 1k, thats the only way it can be done on tribeca afaik, but then again, thats kinda hard to do if he only had $2 in his account.
Hope u get this sorted again, it should be a great trip.

Ollieboy

wp stev, sounds all a bit mad as I didnt see it, but hopefully you'll get some sort of deal sort, I think 8k and play a EPT is a far better idea, long journey to Auz

bohsman

Ill see you in Australia so Stephen.

bohsman

Team event on the 18th, $1,100 per team. Guessing its 4 to a team - Myself, Daithio, Carfax and IonaPaul?

Well played Stephen. I missed the end of the game. You were 3handed for about 30 mins and next i knew it was face on the keyboard at 5 this morning. Sounds a bit crazy the way it turned out and as for that imrubbish guy...does exactly what it says on the tin!! Good luck if you get to oz

carfax

Cheers lads,

The result is a bit of a confidence booster if anything.


Bohsman, you heading to oz?

Singapore Airlines on 11th Jan.

He hasn't booked yet though and is trying to clear a bonus on VC.
