I think a points average would be good. Like if you've played 5 games, and have 25 points, you have a points average of 5. Think over the long run that would be a good way to judge who is regularly doing the business. Like after 20 tournies, someone may have 20 points, having played every tournie. Someone else may only have been able to play 4, and have 20 points also. Perhaps it's just me, I think it's a good one tho!

You could use pokerstars own points system which you can find at www.twodimes.net.

I just disovered this forum. I've play on pokerstars quite a lot. Looking forward to playing with you all.

What's the password for the private games or have I not looked hard enough yet?

Password = shortstack (as spelt - lower case)

musician,
Did you sort out the player of the month award yet...?

mewso

Have you looked or do you prefer to wait for my answer? There is now a monthly selection optiono which will show you the best player of the month surprisingly enough.

I played in it (for a very short time).

Imposter

We also had 2 imposter's (not me, 'real' ones). Should we change the password?
Is the 20$ game on this Sunday?

I think there were around 14 ? players. May have even been less.
Not sure who won.

Imposter

Oki won, biteme was second and one of the imposter's was third. Brianon was 4th and I was 5th. After that it's not important

I blame my bubble finish on the wife ! who came home from work to a dinner yet to be started by me ! The guilt overcame me and forced me into some rash decisions

You must be the anti-dapper then! Whenever he's multitasking between preparing dinner and playing poker he wins, but when he has time to think about his poker he comes last usually!

7 is abit early for me.....

I'm a cooking ninja alright. I can chop vegetables and push all in at the same time! Rock and roll.

Brianon feel free to come to me if you need any tips or anything.

I dunno what the fúcking story with me and this tournament is I'm usually fairly steady as you go with STTs or two table tournaments. A last is an extreme rarity which isn't to say that firsts are too common. I can go out early in MTTs alright but that's usually stack building madness MTTs.

Last finish No.1: Can't remember. I think it was poor play by me.
Last finish No.2: A severe case of disbelief facing an allin while holding JJ on a QQ6Q board knowing my opponent couldn't have AA or KK given the preflop action. He had a Queen.
Last finish No.3: Got reraised all in while holding an open ended straight draw and four to a flush. Missed.

I think I went out 2nd last once as well, though I can't remember how. Next one I play I'm gonna rock up. Muso got to the final table once by being AFK for the whole tournament.

Referring back to Tuesday's game, a question for bitemeie on this hand.

PokerStars Game #1398144717: Tournament #6303163, Hold'em No Limit - Level VI (100/200) - 2005/03/22 - 15:35:32 (ET)

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to okidoki987 [3d 7c]
bitemeie: raises 400 to 600
okidoki987: calls 400 (you had been stealing blinds all night so decided to call as I put on nothing or you would have raised by more)
*** FLOP *** [Kh 7s Tc]
okidoki987: checks
bitemeie: bets 600
okidoki987: calls 600 (again put you on nothing as if you had a K, 7 or 10, you would have bet much more and if you had 2 high cards you would have bet more pre flop, I was guessing you didn't want to bet any more in case I actually had a hand to reraise with)

*** TURN *** [Kh 7s Tc] [Th]
okidoki987: checks
bitemeie: bets 1600

bitemeie: bets 5600
okidoki987: calls 3760 and is all-in (Guessed you trying to steal the pot as slow playing was not your game that night so with a pair of 7's I had to call)
*** SHOW DOWN ***
bitemeie: shows [2s 4d] (a pair of Tens)
okidoki987: shows [3d 7c] (two pair, Tens and Sevens)

Board [Kh 7s Tc Th 5d]
Seat 6: bitemeie (button) (small blind) showed [2s 4d] and lost with a pair of Tens
Seat 7: okidoki987 (big blind) showed [3d 7c] and won (13120) with two pair, Tens and Sevens

Missing a bit of the next chat which went something like
biteme said That's a terrible call, why did you call?

continues into next hand
okidoki987 said, "very easy"
bitemeie said, "it's a terrible call"
okidoki987 said, "if u have a K u would have gone more"
bitemeie said, "ur nuts"

Just out of curiosity, why did you think "I was nuts to call?"

CoD

edit: umm even with neteller i still need a credit card and a bank transfer would take too long

Good lord! I don't think I'd ever raise with 2-4o HU. unless I was able to bully the crap out of someone I'd alway just fold my blind.

The underbet on the flop smacked of weakness but if you thought you were ahead why didn't you raise to prevent him from hitting an overcard or a draw?

Imposter

There's no tournament up yet for tonight!!
Is it the end of month game that's supposed to be on as well?

ionapaul

I plan to play if it happens. Been on Pokerstars a lot this weekend, trying WSOP qualifiers. The $160 double shootout qualifiers are my best bet, I would think.

Imposter

Is anyone else able to set up tournaments on PS?
If so could they set up a 20$ Boards game for 20:00 tonight.

mewso

Is Mike giving it a miss perhaps with the Open on. It's probably too late to set one up now anyway.

Shortstack

Sorry guys I completely forgot ! Absolutely knackered after spending most of the weekend at the Citywest. Will we do the $20 next Sunday?
I will set up Tuesday's shortly.

okidoki987

and I was so looking forward today to the first Sunday tournament I would have been available to play in .
Normally only play SnG's at Pokerstars but was flicking through the games when I decided to play in the WSOP qualifers (5 USD+R).
Managed to qualify for the next round after a deal was struck at our table.
40 players left out of 320 (32 qualify) and 8 at our table when somebody suggested we all fold to the big blind (I was in 20th position).
Everybody agreed and we all qualified for the 150+10 USD double shootout,
81 players (9 tables x 9) and winner gets a seat at the WSOP and 1K USD.
Had to postpone the next round as I hadn't a clue what was happening.
Checked the website and discovered you have to go if you win the seat, you can't transfer/sell it.
Couple of Q's
(A) Is this normal where you can't sell the seat?
Can you not nominate somebody else to go or sell it?
(B) Does this type of deal normally happen?

A) This is the norm. You cannot sell the first seat you win. You get tournament dollars for subsequent wins and can use these to enter other tournaments or sell them.
The player who suggested it is guilty of collusion and if reported would be in trouble.
