I'm out of the million. Lost 2 flips in 2 hands. The scond one was a shove in MP2 that got looked up by 22. My KsQs couldn't help even after a Ax10s9s flop.

Worst HU play ever? I mean this would tilt me for him not to shove...

[too eazy]

he had to have thought he only had J high flush. the guy was 8 tabling, really odd. he actually timebanked before the call too.

You are too shallow to call this preflop, so it's a push/fold decision. Because this guy has so many chips, he will probably feel committed to call a push PF even if he has a marginal hand like AXo or 22-66. I would just fold this preflop.

As played, flop push is standard.

Can anybody ship me 5 benji's at Tilt in exchange for Stars?

dammit just played the 22r to the sunday qualifier and got 25 when 19 got a seat, so frustrating

guess Ill just buy in direct

[/ QUOTE ]

to the pca not the $650 right? (your answer will reflect in your balla status)

[/ QUOTE ]

no just to the 650 [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] , I dont play donkaments like at all so I figured I try and just win a bunch of seats to the 650s since I dont know what Im dong and their sick soft. Ill probably buyin direct to a few toward the end if I dont qualify.

ill play the 33r direct to the PCA later tonight though

[illini43]

I think the 650s are easier to qualify through than the 33r

Granted, you don't spend as much in the 33r aas the 650s, but they usually only send the winner to the PCA whereas the 650s send ~5% of the entrants.

If you can accrue w$ and sat into the 650s, I would suggest playing those if you plan on qualifying for the PCA.

Take this with a grain of salt though - I used to be a primarily MTT player, so I've participated in discussions about these before, but I have NOT played in any of them, just the lower level sats.


Personally, I'm playing PCA sats to accrue w$ to be able to play a 650 or two if I'm feeling frisky.

Does anyone know how to get rakeback at Bodog? Can U.S. players even play there anymore (I assume they can since Kos does and I think he's in the U.S.)? I mainly want to have it so I can move a few hundred there and bet football and other sports.
