Re: Question about the USPC
 

Anybody watch last night? What a donkey heads up push by Pecorale. Pot was around 200k I think and he pushes like 1.2 million drawing almost dead.

I really want to get in this tournament next year.

Standard based on what I'd seen so far.

Everything I'd seen of the USPC made me drool at the idea of playing these live tournaments soon. Good God, half that field was positively atrocious. And the pros made some pretty donkey moves as well.

Re: Question about the USPC
 

Wasn't as bad as him calling off about 1/3 of his chip s in the SB with K4s, then folding on the flop when he missed.

Or the other guys play of 1010 vs AQ.

The pros weren't catching to many cards, but from my experience, shortstack jamming with A5o or whatever Brecher had iusn't the best idea against a raise and a call.

Omg I almost threw up when that guy had 1010 and checked behind on a jack high flop. Then bet 100k into a 500k pot on a blank turn (He only had 200k left). only to get ceckraised all in from a guy with 2 million chips and AQ. And he thinks, says the other guy MUST have JJ and folds.

Dont even get me started on the past play. The bb was 40k and he had 1.3 million chips. He open shoves for 35bb, whhich is like 5k the pot.

Also the guy who raised got a re raise and a push from another player and holds KJ suited, and says lets gambol and still calls. (Same player that had the 1010)

Doesn't the USPC have the best tournament structure around? 20k starting chips + low starting blinds if not mistaken.

Does anyone know what poker sites have satellites for the USPC? personally I have never seen an online qualifier for this tournament which is maybe the reason they don't get the number of players they should.

One would expect Full Tilt to add the USPC to the list of eligible $10000 buy-in televised events for "Winner's Choice" satellite winners, especially now that the WSOP Circuit has cut the buy-ins of those events to $5000.

This should probably be the start of a new thread, but I'll put it here for now:

The Taj has announced the tentative 2006 USPC Schedule:

Re: Question about the USPC
 

Full Tilt is running sats to the USPC. I just noticed on Saturday and saw that they had a $1000 running last night. I think there were only about 20 people entered.

Thanks. It's good to see they are keeping the big-money stud event (and even increasing the buy-in).
