c'mon go easy on us wildbob

[GatorJH]

how did X do the points for a HU tourney? Obv, I have never played in one, but if 16 people are in then the first 8 that lose are done, correct? Do you just figure out how many points 9-16 get and everyone gets the average of that amount?

[WildBobAA]

This is such BS

looks like it kept the same format as a non HU match http://www.flopturnriver.com/poker-l...rnament_id=166

[givememyleg]

kinda sucks for places 9-16, 5-8 and 3-4

[Xianti]

Yeah.. hadn't considered how the points would work out in a HU tourney. With only 4 HU games, it wasn't worth programming an alternate point distribution. Can you guys live with it?

[givememyleg]

so is gator

[GatorJH]

my luckbox was veddy shiny today.

I am good with with 300/150 split.

[GatorJH]

Well we are just under the half way mark and it is still a fairly tight race for the prop bet as a LOT can happen in an 8-9 game span.

Hell, even Warpe and WildBob aren't mathmatically eliminated. Yet.

Results to date are as follows:

Player - GP - Score
Spin_md - 8 - 773.94
GatorJH - 7 -663.69
Spenda - 8 - 535.91
WildBobAA - 11 - 528.55
kmind - 8 - 518.16
shifubowa - 8 - 507.22
gmml - 8 - 493.22
drmcboy - 7 - 437.15
Warpe - 7 - 306.64

Finally, unless there is major objection the payout for the bet will be $300 for first place and $150 for second.

[bigspenda73]

meh I'd like to see it $350/$100 but whatevs

[GatorJH]

meh I'd like to see it $350/$100 but whatevs

I am ok with that.

[spin_md]

I'm good with either payout suggestion

[GatorJH]

Standings below I are through game 19 (I think). It is going to be pretty hard to catch Spin so it is starting to look like the race is on for 2nd place.

updated through game 20, gator is ahead of spin with ppg so let's see what happens. still plenty of people with 6-7 games left to play.

[kmind]

Ty Jerry for trying to make me ahead of shif. It was a damn good attempt.

PAYOUT - 1st = $350, 2nd = $100

updated through game 23, GMML is making a late push, but still has some work to do to catch Spin who is still in the driver's seat.

There are 9 tournaments left however a couple of you are getting close to your 16th and last tourney so make em good!!!

[GatorJH]

Closing in on the finish and it looks like a two horse race between Spin and myself with GMML still a darkhorse candidate. GMML prolly needs two top 2 finishes to get back into the hunt while if Spin or myself get a top two finish it could put a nail in the coffin for the other.

There are 5 tournies left that include HU this Wed night, 6max next Wed night and NLH the other 3. Spin and GMML have two tournies left while I can still play in 3. Let's work on getting the participation up so more points can be made.

Btw, I think it is pretty interesting that 4 of us in the side bet are in the top 5 overall.

[givememyleg]

fuck the gauntlet

[bigspenda73]

Man I just had too many really early exits.

[drmcboy]

next year let's make the side bet who can actually play 16 games

[GatorJH]

wait wat? Priorities man!!!! It's all about PRIORITIES!!!

[spin_md]

Looks like it could be a photo finish, hope I pass the post-game doping tests.

[GatorJH]

And it comes down to this. ONE GAME LEFT and 3 people still have a shot at winning. The top three scores are as follows:

GatorJH - 1137.08
Spin_md - 1086.85 (down 50.23 points)
GMML - 1069.52 (down 67.56 from 1st and 17.33 from 2nd)

Two total games left unless X adds an extra one in because of the holiday on Sunday. I say lets all try to make it on Sunday and settle this then.

Good Luck you two - NOT

[givememyleg]

85% chance that im not playing sunday

[spin_md]

as it stands right now, I am supposed to be in a corn field maze on Sunday (no I am not a hick)

[GatorJH]

I MAY (but doubtful) try to get my final game in on Sunday (if it happens) because Wed night I am playing in the final tourney of a home league (entering this tourney in 2nd place in chips, just 80 chips behind the leader).

If Sunday's game doesn't go then I will just take my notebook to the home game and two table it that night (I have done that before and it was pretty funny).

I made this $350, the $300 for winning the league, $384 in tourney winnings minus approx. $50 in bounties that I put on Spin ( ) for a net of just under $1K. I'll take it.

[spin_md]

$50 in bounties that I put on Spin.

$50 well spent IMO
