I lucked out that my table, sans Vegas, knew what they were doing, having SiVtech and Excal to my right basically got me the seat because I was super card dead the past 3-4 hours. I might post this HH, I played sorta crappy and luckboxed to 15k in the 2nd hour then never got over 50k for the rest of the tourney. Made 2 serious blunders, 1 was not smoothcalling behind an EP minraise with TT, I raised and got repopped min and folded and the other was opening with 77 UTG and about 12 BB's, it's probably a fold or a push, the 3x BB was really bad. I might post the HH so people can see how ridiculously card dead I was and how lucky I was for my table draw.

Someone on here posted a story about bubbling a sat to another major tournament and getting his buy-in refunded by Stars, and they sent him a gumball machine...

Also, WSOP in 04 I think two people went out on same hand and WSOP chipped in extra so both got 10k back.


11k is real money, but Stars made $150k in entry fees to this thing, not to mention the sats...
I don't think it's too unlikely. And would be great PR for them.

While this is true, it is mildly misleading. We also shell out $1,000 for the hotel room for each winner, so that means for every 50 people in we got the hotel package covered, so there was still overlay.

I was wondering if the table dynamics weighed into you somewhat appreciating Papayo's stalling. By stalling, your table had less hands, less chances for someone to bust, and made it less likely for a different (especially aggro big stack) player to come to your table. Am I close?

do you still feel weird about folding AK????

[hulk3rules]

While they were waiting for the last hand to begin, 22tlb says something about folding to keep the guy in (even though he wouldn't be able to since the guy was AI for less then the BB.) The host then warns him in the chat.

He then proceeds to fold for 6k more when he has a >40K stack after Karl limps. Please DQ this guy Stars
