FlopTurnRiver LHE HU Challenge Tournament Details

Brackets:

http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/8265/untitled1mm.jpg

The matches are ordered by letter. When each match is complete, post here the match letter and the winner. I will keep this updated as well as I can. The matches will start as soon as possible. Discussion of when matches are going to go on can be made here: http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...ic.php?t=28604

If matches are delayed too long I will make the discretion of who goes on and who forfeits.

Each game is a Poker Stars HU LHE $10+1 SNG .

The most you can LOSE is $22 in this tournament, but you can win much more. There will also be a sidepot that the winner will get, I would like that to be $10 per person to be paid to the last two players of the tournament, first place will get 75% ($135) and 2nd place will get 25% ($45) on top of the other tournament fees you may win. Everyone should send me their sidepot money on Poker Stars. My screenname is CodeRedRulez and I live in Aurora. I will also be the one dispersing the money.

Xianti may decide to give FTR gear to the winner, but I have yet to hear from him.

As you can see, there is potential to win a lot of money in this tournament for little risk. The idea of this tournament is to increase our HU skill and reading ability as well as have a little fun. Any other questions can be brought to my attention.

I am going to post my HHs after any tourney.

I think it would be a good for all involved if they did as well.

Jeff,

I (and maybe others) don't play on Stars regularly and I am at work and can't log in right now to figure it out, but can you post step by step how we: (1) set up the HU Match and (2) Pay you the $10?

Edit: Thanks for the info below...

To set up a HU Match:

Login to Stars, click on the "Sit & Go" Tab. Then, go to the subtab of "Heads Up" and $10.50 level and 2 players. If there are zero people registered both should register before someone else sits down to play. If you end up playing against an unknown opponent, its your own fault.

To transfer me money, go to the "Requests" field and select "transfer funds." Type in $10 and my player ID of CodeRedRulez. You know you have it right when it will ask you to confirm and Aurora will be in parenthesis.

Furthermore, I will keep a list of everyone who has paid me, so if your stars screenname is different than the FTR one and I dont know it, PM me your stars name to make sure I get it.

I have Received Money from:

Ltrain
elipsesjeff
Mike4066
Ihategnome
Nehmer
Stinkybeaver
pkrfanatic
MikeAnn
Demiparadigm
Euphoricism
Chardrian
Koolmoe
Midas
dsaxton

Total: $140

Monday I'll take from computer. Tuesday I'll be back my time for Tuesday is. 11-12pm, 2-4 and 7-10pm
please pm me if you can set up time so we can get this going

Problem. I have no money online, all my money is BnM. I'll scramble on Monday to figgure something out.

*please don't suggest that "it's as easy as using a credit card" I've intentionally avoided them.

We'll figure something out, even if we have to play for free, and I transfer what I owe you later. =)

Tuesday it is. Where are you at, so I can calculate what time I have to be ready to play?

Match d, koolmoe wins over ihategnomes thanks to an insane rush of pocket pairs.

I won the match against Euphoricism.

Ok - I pmed aleksandr (it worked this time) and am giving it anotehr go here. If it doesn't pan out - I guess he just get the win since we know I will lose right?

ragnar you here?
we can play for play money only. That's fine with me.
i'll be on from now til 9pm
let me know if you're on so we can play
thank.
I'm currently play at pacific and interpoker
but i'll check my message every 15 mins
let me know
so everyone don't have to wait on us

Play money isn't an option, as he is going to have to put money online eventually. If he can't play then his position will be forfeited and Mike_Ann will move on. You guys have until Friday 11:59 PM EST to start your match or Mike_Ann will go on by default.

Play money my ass...

I'd whish I'd stick wiht play money for 2006. Would have saved me like 5K or something.

My luckbox broke :(

we have our first elimination... congrads Nehmer, LTrain maybe next time...

Noted.

Looks like ragnar forfeited so Mike_ann you'll play me and the person who would have played ragnar in the loser's bracket gets a bye.

Mike_ann when you available to play? I'm here all weekend.

Brackets Updated.

My time is 4:40pm
I'll be back here at 6Pm
if it's ok for you then we can play at 6pm
Let me know I'll check back here around 5:45pm
thank

Match C: I win. Get ready Koolmoe!!! We should wait until we hear from outphase/muxy/chadrian/aleksandr until round 2 will be in it.

Muxy forfeits. If outphase does not respond to the PM i sent him then they both will lose.

It's over
The biggest upset in FTR is not going to happen
Jeff just beat me up badly.
After 139 hands play Jeff WOn
ty Jeff for the game. You're too good for me, but I do learn couples of things from you.
I did fight my way back so hard but can't make it.


Jeff Win

It was a good match, you were too passive though throughout the entire match.

Brackets Updated. Round 3 Get underway.

I might have to do the unthinkable in my game against Nehmer. Something's gone wrong with my home computer, and I can't access stars or the internet at all.

If I can't get this fixed in the next couple of days then I'll forfeit.

Mike_Ann you still around bro? I tried PMing you for a time to play this HU match.

Demi i'll be ready to go prob tomorrow, i have some shit i need to get done today...

I forfeit. Computer going in for fixing today.

So get your game on!!!! We've had some lacked enthusiasm here lately so we need to get in gear again.

Brackets Updated.

Last I heard I was going to be the forfeit king. Dsax said he had no money at stars so was forfeiting. Let me double check tho.

well, koolmoe punked me then 5 mins later i was punked by euphoricism too. They both move up, and just like that I'm out! good luck the rest of the way boys.

Chardrian: if you want to transfer him $11, he can transfer you that money via party, or some other method. He should have the money there that he won from the first tournament.

Outphase and Mike_ann: This is your warning. Get your matches in by next sunday at 11:59 pm or you'll be forfeited.

Results for game M:

outphase wins over beaver from a 9:1 deficit

I'm out, euph crushed me

char wins

Well, we are getting there...eventually. Koolmoe beat paradigm so we need to get those losers brackets underway.

Brackets Updated

Has no one played a match for over a week?

That is unsatisfactory.

Dsaxton has decided to forfeit. Nobody wants to play vs me it seems.

I tried contacting stinkybeaver but hes not gotten back with my. Nehmre looks like its gonna be you and I.

i've talked to dsaxton last night and next time i see stinkybeaver i'll tell him to get on his butt. But yeah, we are waiting pretty much on the loser's bracket to get things going.

Frankly, if no one plays and the rest of the people forfeit its better for those already in the tournament. Because, there still is a lot of money in the side pot and the easier it is for the rest of you then awesome, you know?

beaver vs gnomes

gnomes win.

Nehmer vs Dsaxton....Dsaxton wins.

We are waiting on the match between Outphase and Chadrian. Do it!!!!

If you guys don't get your match done by Friday 11:59 pm EST then you both will forfeit your remaining matches. This in effect will give Koolmoe automatic victory in the winner's bracket and guaranteed to get money from the sidepot.

I see you guys around and active in the forum so this is your warning. I'll PM you guys on wednesday if there is no answer.

Sorry about the delay, school's a bitch. I'll get on it ASAP

I have just been waiting.

a family emergency came up... i will likely have to forfeit the winner's bracket to chadrian unless i get an extension (unlikely)

{Moved to Short Handed}

BUMP!

Can we wrap this up? Its going on 3 months.

And Chardragon still hasn't played a match :/

Yeah, Outphase forfeits, everyone moves up, i'll post the remaining brackets tomorrow.

Brackets updated. We are waiting for the match between dsaxton and ihategnome then it should be pretty smooth sailing.

If koolmoe forfeits to char I am gonna be pissed :/ How the hell do you get to the semi finaqls without playing a match, lol.

I think he played dsaxton right?

Otherwise, thats just how the tourny turned out..

Nope - dsax forfeited too. I am really intimidating I guess.

koolmoe and my work schedule don't really mesh for this week, but we'll get our match in next week.

For the record, I forfeited because I am not available to play at night when Chadrian is available.

dsax beat gnomes, I beat dsax.
I guess you're next, eupho.

koolmoe defeats chardrian

it wasn't a defeat - it was absolute destruction

alright, we're waiting on the match between euph and demi. We are really getting down there.

can someone post game times and sites so we 'noobs' can watch the masters in action
kthx

I beat demi.



badly :D

There isn't a set time for these, its "Hey you wanna play now?" "Ok". Theyre all taking place on stars, that im aware of anyway. Your best bet is AIM'ng or PM'ng someone involved in a match you want to watch.

We'll make sure the final match is in prime time.

So the next match is euph and chard, n'est-ce pas?

Yeah, then I'll announce the last match and try and make it all cool and stuff.

In probably the most painful HU match I've ever been subject to, chard took me out. I had a 2:1 chiplead throughout the whole tourn.

Fucking... what are the odds of us BOTH flopping flushes? Owwwwww.

All part of my plan

Alright, I'll contact Chardrian and koolmoe and get a tournament date set up to watch. Congrats you too (*cough koolmoe cough*) for making it that far.

brackets updated one last time

playing the first finals match on 24974162

Chardrian dogs Koolmoe in the first match. Its still up in the air as he now has to do it again.

What is the table for the second match?

sorry, it's over. I lucked out with a flush over flush in the 50/100 level that took chard down to <300 chips. We were about even at the start of the hand but capped every street.

I got crushed to a flush over flush in the second

Good tournament! Congratulations Koolmoe, please PM xianti with FTR gear of your choice. Also guys, give me your Party screennames as I, or one of my peers will transfer you the money that is rightfully yours.

Koolmoe wins: $140*3/4 = $105
Chardrian wins: $140*1/4= $35

Congrats again both of you. Maybe we'll have a second go around later this year.

woot woot - If anyone is interest I will get the tourney histories and post em (I played an incredibly passive game so there will be lots and lots of mistakes to point out). If not, I won't.

I am chardrian on both Party and Stars.

You guys should have been paid. If not let me know. Otherwise, I'm locking this thread. Chardrian, post the HH if you would like.
