Gogogo. Hoping to see a few extra players today. We are nearing the halfway point and people might start needing points.
will not give in. games in a terrabile state. funny how it goes. when cards are not with u your game suffers . giving up smoking don't help
Anyone can play decent poker when they are getting good cards. Tommy Angelo talked about the rule of reciprocality. It is a good point.Quote:

It gets fun when all hope is lost. You're faced with a choice - stop playing or play anyway and go wild, annoying those with something left to play for. I'd choose the latter option.
fwiw keith busted before onga but tourney lobby says both 9th, no idea do whatever you want with that. also Tourney id #905894305
Got busted again with trips against dneureiter´s full house!

I started very well, but then I lost with KK against flush on the river. However, it was another gg. Congratulations for the winner.
Small turnout. If anyone wants to make any changes maybe they should post in the Gauntlet main thread.
KEITH BUSTED BEFORE ME, IT'S IMPORTANT EVERYONE IS AWARE OF THAT
Glad you remembered this, dneureiter. jyms is always needing the tourney id and I was going to start making it a procedure for me to post it each gauntlet game I play, and put it in the game thread.Quote:

actually i finished 9th out of 9. then there was a late reg and you finished 9th out of 10 putting you below me .
What an awesome article. I have not seen an article so interesting since I learned about Degrees Of Freedom. Degrees Of Freedom have helped with my decisions in Open Face Poker mostly, but they apply to so many other things in our lives too. I will probably read the theQuote:

Actually I started adding it to the top of every game thread. I don't forget the numbers, I just haven't played so I haven't downloaded the results and the results page in home games doesn't show the ID number. I have fixed the issue.Quote:

knocked out posted in the lobby before the lobby got updated when you went out. OngBonga, you are in a very tight race with the Keith. You may be able to catch Keith, but I do not think I can.
would have been so funny if ongie had seen it and started crowing about leading .Quote:
