This is the “official” SDMB thread for 3rd quarter, 2012 at PokerStars.
Here is last quarter’s thread, where I went all Heisenberg on everyone’s ass, especially Missy the Crack Ho…had to bust her chops to show that I am the one who knocks! Poor Missy…she may get a spin-off show with the 21st century Amish though. Ossie has had some entanglements already with the Amish cartel and his homebuilding skills are being seriously tested by the automated Amish underworld of rogue carpenters.
Stay tuned…the walls may be painted red. :eek:
Now we will just copy and paste.
For those in the know, this is the thread for our second quarter of 2012.
For those not in the know, there is a group of us from the SDMB that play poker online every Thursday night at 10 Eastern/9 Central.
We will continue to play on PokerStars using the “Home Game” club that was announced here. The games are still free.
If you would like to join us, then follow the steps below:
- Go to www.pokerstars.com and download the software.
- Send a PM to MentalGuy(me) to have him send you the invitation code (it is no longer cecilville).
- After installing the software, find the Home Games tab.
- Click on “Join a Poker Club”
- Enter 42585 as the number of the club to find.
- Enter the invitation code sent to you by MentalGuy.
- Wait for MentalGuy to approve you. (He will do it as soon as possible.)
This should make you a member of “MentalGuy’s poker club.” Once you are there, you should have no problem finding the tournaments.
The Thursday night game is our “official” game that Oslo Ostragoth keeps the standing for each quarter, but we often have additional games. Oslo often schedules a pot-limt hold’em/omaha event on Saturday nights and several players like to play an occasional Badugi tournament. If there is a game you would like scheduled or a certain time you would like to play, just let us know and we should be able to accomodate you.
We also usually have chat going on AIM while we play (there is a chat window at the table, but AIM allows a bit more freedom and does not get interrupted with hand descriptions).
If you join us, we would appreciate it if you fill out your information on this spreadsheet. This helps us keep players straight with their doper and AIM handles.
Just moving tonight’s results from the previous thread to here:
D’oh, sorry about that! Shoulda realized it was going to be to a new thread…
No Problem…here is your bump reminder to get on tonight, folks.
Still trying to figure how Crane won that hand last night. Down to three of us
Limped pot. I got 8-4 suited and he has Q-3 off
Flop 8-4-2
I check, Crane bets, I come over the top, he raises back, I am All In
I got top two pair, Crane has nothing and no draw (unless you count a back door straight draw.
Runner Runner 5 and 6 and I am left crippled. ARRRRRGH… It just aint right.
I have noticed that sometimes you will bet to chase people out of a hand. Not knowing what you had in the hole I just had a hunch that was the case, and my queen just might be good. Since I was already “in the money” I just chased the hunch. Believe me, I was very dismayed when I saw I was facing two pair but the damage was done and I just got extremely lucky. But what the hell third aint too shabby in our games is what I was thinking.
Gotta chase a feeling now and then I reckon.That’s the only justification I can offer.
Apparently I am cursed to post results again. Sorry, spreadsheet is incomplete.

First standings of the quarter:
1 Crazyhorse 64.3
2 notfrommensa 55.0
3 Craneop2 54.1
Ast can take first place next week walking backwards with his eyes closed.
That sounds like an awfully difficult way to play poker. I’ll have to put on the accessiblity options.
I might join you guys next week. We’ll see how it goes.
That was a premature end. I was closing the gap steadily when the game ended for no apparent reason. So there is a time constraint on tourneys at Pokerstars?

Helluva start by ast.
Would it be possible for someone to get a history of the last 2 or 3 hands of the 7-19 tourney? Please? I am genuinely concerned that I may have blacked out for a moment there at the end.
If my old computer was working I might have been able to do it. But I cannot access it now.
