Will the game tonight count?

i was thinking for fun until the timeslot is established, but i will play for keeps anytime, so yes if the majority want it to count it can.

does anybody plan on playing tonight? for fun or keeps?

It think tourney events (ones that count) should be scheduled in advance in order to give participants enough time to plan and adjust their calendar.

would 7 hours in advance be enough notice to adjust your president's day calendar?

No. But if you want to win by default, go for it.

did i mention it was scheduled for fun unless a majority agrees?

 

[jpcavin]

Yes. Did I mention I was addressing the non-fun ones?

i guess i missed that part.

I agree it makes sense to not count the one tonight due to short notice. I was just wondering.

FYI, the winning points are weighted by how many people are in the tournament. For instance, I think it turned out that 2nd place in a 7 person tournament actually gets more points than 1st place in a 4 person tournament.

for funs then tonight at 8 pm et if anybody wants to sit in.

uhh, back to that bankroll management tips things i was sayin... it only works if you stick to it.

i got up over 300k chips and got to thinkin i was pretty hot stuff by then, so i played a 100k buyin sit n go, let me tell you them jokers are some of the luckiest sob's to ever sit at a table. so after i lost early, i watched the rest of the tourney and i spied with my little eye what they was doing. they was pushing the same old crap but just with more chips is all, only a little bit smarter and slower.

so down to 200k chips and change i played another one, and them damn donkeys kept drawing out on me again so i was good and fired up to play some real poker now let me tell you.

with my last 100k i bought into a 3rd nine-person sit and go and freakin destroyed it. well, it was close a bunch of times, and it took forever, but still, i feel like i destroyed it. and then when it got down to heads up i went silverback on that corksoaker and tore him limb from limb and beat him over the head with my big stack. whooooo! wheeeee!

now i got over 500k chips for a net 200k gain on that experience and i'm going back to my 20x buyin strategery again. they should count themselves lucky, won't be forgettin ole stu for a while i can tell you that.

it's not as bad as it sounds, i still would've had 9k chips left if i lost and that is 9 buyins to a 1000 chip tourney and i have been there before so it's all good. i like sleepin in dirt and eating roots and berries. well, don't exactly like it, but i am good at it, had lots of practice.

when i was a kid growing up, mondays were always reserved for family home evening, where family and friends would get together and learn some lessons and play games and have snacks. so if you are home tonight, it might be a good time to get with your tsp poker club family and see what develops, fair warning, things can sometimes get crazy.

just in case you aren't familiar with utah family traditions, or know a different family, or know street, and aren't too young to get a late 1970's movie reference... warriors, come out and play...

ok, it looks like a few folks will sit in on this game. monday night 'fun' tourney starting in about 15 minutes and late registration for 10 minutes after that.

if you need chips for buyin sit at the club 5/10 ring game skat table and just ask, i have some extra.

Looks like I have all the time in the world now but no computer. Power went out in my neighborhood about an hour ago. Who's playing?

if you know winter's phone number you should call her and tell her it started ready, and she has been sitting out but still has more chips than me. on account of these sharks.

well usercue finished 2nd, because he cheated. then konkuzon won 1st, but only because he cheated more. winter finished a solid 3rd after playing a very tight game. attitude was 4th and was totally unlucky. but not as unlucky as me who went out in 5th place.
