Subs keep your monies like Muzz said.
BooG still not enough people for a 32 man. (I edit the original post every time if you want to check the status).
xpaand yea you can get some pretty decent shit from pokerstars, but its kind of hard to get fpps until you get 10nl+, actually probably 25nl+. The rake won't KILL you at FullTilt, but its definitely not as bad at pokerstars. Do whatever you are comfortable with.
FPP's dont really come through at a good rate until like 50nl, where you can hit platinum consistently and get supernova. I think in general though stars>FTP. If you have an RB account its probably best you stay at FTP until 50nl then move your roll over.Quote:

Hello Poker_Muzz,

Add me to the list of "In if we make it to 32 ppl"
Not for HU NL cash since you get crap for pointsQuote:

Also, thanks to dranger for organizing all this. Does anyone else think having more than 3 days for the match would be better? I sometimes get pretty busy and playing 3 heads up games may take quite a bit of time.
Nah dude it really wont take more than 3 days. I mean if you and the other guy have ~2 hours on any given day then that should be enough time, if not you still have 70 hours lol.
3 days is plenty. If you need more time, fine but no sense in dragging it out.
They have pretty good stuff on PS too. Remember, FTP takes 1 cent off for every 15 cents. That means at 90 cents, they take off 5 cents. PokerStars does not take off a rake until the pot reaches 1 dollar (and it will continue to only take rake when it reaches the dollar) and this rake is 5 cents. This means that you may be paying 5 cents off per pot when PS would not take any. Also, for example, a pot of $2.70 would be taking $.15 at FTP while taking only $.10 at PokerStars (since it did not yet reach the $3 mark). At the micro level, this is big.Quote:

I think we should set official dates, get them posted up. 5/6 days till it starts, eveyone will need notice and be able to get in contact with the opponent beforehand to arrange times.
I'm also still missing payment from a coupla ppl.
Yea i know you are, I'm gonna said Ragnar4 a PM telling him to either come in here and confirm in by Wednesday night, or I'm taking him off the list and mrhappy333 will take his place.
i'll send PMs to the others too.
yes thisQuote:

dranger,
I don't want to commit you to even more responsibility but here's an idea I just had:
if ragnar and mrhappy end up playing then maybe the alternates could play their own 8 player HU tourney?? or maybe one of them could help you organize it? Dunno, just throwing thoughts out there but I know I was pretty happy to get my spot.
Well, if they want to do that, thats cool, but I don't feel like organizing two at once. Although, as soon this one is done, I plan on having another one shortly after. I would like to get at least 3 before I go to boot tbh. So these guys won't be left out in the cold for long, they will be guaranteed a spot in the next tournament.
Blah. I want to.. But I'm moving and may not be able to get my HU rounds taken care of. This move is hell.
Ragnar4 is out for this tourney.
GL whoever takes my spot.
good luck to dranger7070 and muzz
this going to be as tough as werewolf to get done
trip is tough and smart
be strong
kk sounds good. I figured it might be a little much to do two at once.Quote:

Hello Poker_Muzz,
We have transferred $5.00 to your account as requested by 'settecba'.
Hello Poker_Muzz,
We have transferred $5.00 to your account as requested by 'newguy89'.
newguy=micro2macro
Just waiting for mrhappy333 to ship payment and thats everyone.
I think once thats done, we might as well do the brackets so we know whats coming and who to contact. Doing it on Sunday doesnt leave us much time to get sorted out.
Hello mrhappy333,
We have transferred $5.00 from your account to 'Muzzard' as per your request.
Good luck to you both.

PokerStars Cashier
Do the brackets, do the brackets!!!!
And don't give me this IOPQ dude in the first round. I hear he brings darkness to childrens' hearts and pwns HU or something.
Just a random thought which has likely been addressed.
I think I saw a post where dranger suggested that the round would be finished and then we'd randomly set up matchups for the next round. If this is still the approach being considered I'd suggest changing it.
Sort out all the matchups ahead of time imo and give a full schedule. Say players 1 and 14 meet in the first round and the winner battles it out with the winner of 5 and 8. Basically have the whole thing mapped out from the beginning. This makes it much easier to find that extra day or two to coordinate your matchup in the next round.
Well, I'm going to use a bracket maker for the tournament so I guess I could do that. Makes sense, but I don't want people to be taking it into their own hands and accidentally play the wrong person or something. I want this to progress at a steady pace, not rush to get done.
I will try to get the brackets done asap, but I have some stuff I gotta do for the Marines today and I won't be back until tonight, so I'll probably finish them then.
I never got the money as I am not muzzard on stars lol. Poker_Muzz (winsford)!!!!Quote:

Brackets being set up at brackermaker.org, will post as soon as I'm done in the OP.
Matchups posted in the first post of this thread at the top. Just click the link and it will bring you to it.
seeing as though the 1st round matches are known like 5 days before this "starts", are there any objections to players completing their matches before Sunday 14th??
[sarcasm] Yay, I'm in IOPQ's bracket.[/sarcasm]
I guess if you and the other player work it out and its agreed, I dont mind, but I dont want to hear anyone bitching saying "O well I thought it was just practice so it doesn't count!!!" You've been warned. :lol:Quote:

O and another thing, PLEASE PM ME THE FINAL HAND OF EACH MATCHUP. I need this so I have proof that each matchup was played, and so there are no excuses.
Thanks!
Games 5-8 obv. have the best matchups.

Ahhhh fack. I guess scratch that then... I guess if both players could just post on here that the matches were played that will have to do.
Just go to the instant HH in requests/options or whatever it is.Quote:

Thanks muzz
Just railed settecba's and JR's match. They each won a round, so it went into the 3rd. Settecba lost with 99 to JR's AJ. GG both players.
JR advances.
Well me and Carroters just finished our HU match. Took around 600 hands and he won it in 2, but we both agreed it shoulda went to 3 lol. The first match went so fast it was pathetic. I owned myself in a 3b pot with 67s on a QQx two tone board. I checked, he bet, I raised, he pretty much jammed, obv i fold gg sir. He had K9 of the two suited cards on the board so not a bad move at all. Soon after he busted me 88 < TT PF.
2nd match was a completely different story. Back and forth for 600ish hands. It was pretty intense lol. I was down to 150~ at lowest point in the beginning. Fought back, won some key pots, and got HIM down to ~180 then he fought it back to even. Continues at around even for the next 400 hands then I made a couple of questionable plays and he made some good calls, and im down to 350.
Last hand of 2nd match. I'm in the BB with TT, he opens to 6, I 3-bet to 21, he flats. Flop comes xTJ two tone. I bet out, he raises, I cib it (minraise) he snap shoves which is what I was looking for, and he shows A9 for a flush draw. Hits on turn, I don't suck out. GG sir.
Was an extremely entertaining match, and can't wait for the next one of these. It'll probly be around mid-April when I set up another one. Good luck everyone and I'll obviously keep this updated with the bracket and whatnot.
Sil and I just finished our spewfest of a match. He won and played very well. I would post some hand histories but I'm not really sure how to get play money HH's.
GL to those still in it.
[x] spewfestQuote:

I basically luckboxed the first match as a semi bluff shove I made on the turn resulted in me rivering a flush to beat Kfaess' TPTK hand in a 4bet pot.
He took down the 2nd match making a very good call on the river with 2nd or 3rd pair after i shoved what was left of my stack with nothing but a busted draw.
Third match finished with an interesting hand. I can't remember it exactly but I basically raised K's cbet w bottom pair. He shoved and I called. He didn't hit his FD and one of his overs was tainted.
All in all I think it was a good game that could in all honesty gone either way. GG dude!!
Yea def a GG, I had a great time playing this match and it was different for me since most 10NL opponents aren't really thinking that much.Quote:

Hey guys, dont worry about sending HH's I guess. Its not that big a deal, as long as you guys let me know you played. We can just go on the honor system, its really not that big a deal I guess. (Its only $5 right? ;)) Good work sil, and tough break kfaess, see you the next time around I hope!
Me vs Mr Happy tomo about 1pm GMT. shipit

Lol, it was a very close match, it went to a third game, I won it 2-1 after winning a coinflip for 200BB. I wouldn't say you were owned.
Everyone can start their second round matches today if you want, but it will officially start tomorrow. You have until Friday at midnight to finish! Good luck all!
