"david how'd you fare in that 109?"

I went out via a race to get 15th.

I was kind of hoping for a repeat of last month when I chopped first in that same tourney.

"Hey Billy (it's Bergin) what user name do you play as at PS?"

I actually just started playing on stars man, but i play as bschrade, playing small bc i didn't want to use my live roll, but after donking around for the 1st month trying to adjust to online play I think i'm starting to get the hang of it . Figured i'd try to build my roll small online since i figured there'd be a learning curve going from live to online, which there definetly was......the numbers look pretty good for nov and dec though, oct was a donkfest

Looks like you play alot of 4/180s. We should have a showdown haha.

Some dudes on 2p2 just had a challenge where they started playing at the same time and raced to see who would win won first, it was kinda cool. Only ended up taking like 7 tournaments for 1 guy.

12/11/2007 12:18:03 PM

when the 20/180s first came out (and were the only 180s) i used to be involved with the 2+2 dudes doing 20/180 challenges, where you'd have 3 days to put up your 10 best finishes for entries

that was the toughest 3 days the 20/180s ever were, considering the overlay with everyone putting up a hundo too

i made 2 FTs where every player was a 2+2r

IIRC the last one i played the winner had something absurd like 6 wins in 3 days.

12/11/2007 1:00:30 PM

^damn, that is RIDICULOUS

dman, i'll do a showdown with you if you want, just for fun? top 10 finishes in a week? 10pts for 1st, 1 for 10th, scaled 1pt for each spot between, .5pts for 10-18? open to everyone i guess, don't know if you guys would wanna play those though.

we can bet money too if you want, but i don't really care about that.

Haven't been on the right end of that little diddy in a while.. maybe my month is about to start turning around

I know my line was weird btw, it was opponent specific

12/11/2007 10:01:39 PM

it's not a weird line

it's a line you'd expect from a total noob trying to get cute

oddly enough, that's kinda exactly what you're going for, i think

nice one

12/11/2007 10:12:14 PM

ya.. weird line for me I mean

I just felt like I was gonna have a hard time barrelling 3 streets of value from this player, but he might get curious if I showed a little weakness early in the hand


I wasnt real thrilled when he pushed by the way, but there's no way I'm folding there especially when I played it like this. Seemed 50/50 that he has AJ or JJ here though, I would much rather him call turn and my shove on river with AQ or something.

So this has been my month so far at NL:




Come out of the gates and fall flat on my face for the first thousand hands. Fuck around and break even for the next 5.5k hands. Then win it all back in my last 500 tonight. All things considered, -$40 feels pretty good right about now.

I just gotta recoup some LHE and HU losses and it'll be all good.

ok dman, from now until dec 18th 1159, top 10 places in 4/180 for tww micro tourney championship.

12/12/2007 1:54:07 PM

what is 4/180

12/12/2007 1:58:15 PM

the $4 180 man sngs

12/12/2007 2:05:36 PM

Bodog finally is doing player points for cash bonus....it's 667 points for $10. Currently I have over 16,000 points so that's about $240.

I was so excited about getting a $240 bonus for all my points that I never used until I read further.

For every 3 player points you earn, you get $1 of that $240. So basically it's like a signup bonus except the fact that I already earned all those points and I have to earn more to make them worth something. Fuck that shit.

Bodog is such bullshit.

12/12/2007 3:08:40 PM

I miss party's bonuses

12/12/2007 3:09:39 PM

Sounds good, i'll start tonight. Doubt i'll get much volume in after Fri, but who knows.

12/12/2007 4:07:57 PM

^^^scratch that....my source lied to me

I just got home and converted my 17150 points straight to cash

I got $171.50 so it's 100 points per $1

The only thing is that you have to download the newest version of Bodog

12/12/2007 4:14:31 PM

sNuwPack just a thought.

How bout we do a set number of them by then for this? Maybe 50?

12/12/2007 4:47:29 PM

Yeah, I was thinking that would suck if one guy played 200 while the other guy played 50

12/12/2007 4:50:55 PM

Also, if we did 50, I guess there is a chance we won't be ITM for top 10, so heres what the Wednesday night 4/180 challenge I do on 2p2 uses for the scoring:

180-150th = 0 points
149-120th = 0.5 points
119-100th = 1 point
99-80th = 2 points
79-60th = 3 points
59-40th = 4 points
39-30th = 5 points
29-20th = 7 points
19th = 9 points
18-15th = 10 points
14-10th = 12 points
9th = 15 points
8th = 17 points
7th = 19 points
6th = 21 points
5th = 24 points
4th = 27 points
3rd = 30 points
2nd = 35 points
1st = 40 points

12/12/2007 5:33:13 PM

pilgrimshoes, what software were you using to keep track of you sngs? I need something to organize the data for these 4/180s. My 50 tournament trial of "tourneymanager" only lasted a day.

Anyone else see Shawn Sheikhan might get deported? This is from his Wiki page.

Quote :

"[edit] Arrest and possible deportation Sheikhan, a resident alien since he was nine years old, was arrested at his Las Vegas home on August 30th, 2007 for violating his immigration status due to a 1995 conviction for misdemeanor sexual battery on a child under 18, where he served nine months in prison and 5 years probation[2]. He was detained on an immigration hold for 1 week, facing deportation proceedings, however those proceedings have been since halted [3]. "

I never knew he was a child molester.

"A Mercedes, driven by Las Vegan Shahram Sheikhan, 29, was traveling at speeds too fast for the slick road conditions on Buffalo Drive just north of Charleston Boulevard, Metro Police said. The Mercedes slid across the raised center median of southbound Buffalo and struck a Lincoln traveling in the northbound lanes, police said. The female passenger, 91-year-old Dorathy Ohriner of Las Vegas, died at the scene, the Clark County Coroner's office said today. The Lincoln was driven by Neil Ohriner, 66, also of Las Vegas, police said. Sheikhan and Mr. Ohriner were taken to University Medical Center with moderate injuries "

i mean really

what does that mean

annoyance OR molestation

that's a pretty big or

12/12/2007 9:01:41 PM

Yeah I think that OR represents about a difference of 10 years in prison.

Is it possible to have a program pull information from a site (OPR, sharkscope, cashgamestats, etc..) and put them directly into the notes section on Stars? B/c if that can be done.....good stuff
