Resurrection of Online Texas hold 'em tournaments for Dopers only (revised thread)

Looks like most of the gang have or will make the jump to PokerTropolis. I’m looking forward to trying the new site, sure wish I could try some new skills!

Like nunchuck skills or computer hacking skills?

I’ll almost assuredly be home in time tonight. I seem to have caught Nanook’s cold and I can’t see me being at the bar any longer than I have to tonight.

Catch you guys then.

More along the lines of hacking Capn’s chips type skills, I’d beat myself senseless with nunchucks. Man, talk about dissin’ a guys poker skills! Feel tha love…

Its a no go at Pokertropolis for tonight. I tried scheduling the tournament for tonight and I never received a confirmation e-mail. I just got off the phone with them and they told me I have to give 24-48 hrs notice. I guess its the old pokerroom tonight. One more thing, I won’t be able to make it tonight. I was supposed to pick up my nephew at the airport tonight but he was able to get an earlier flight, so I have to get him tonight. Someone else has to make sure they have everyone’s AIM name and start the chatroom. I’ll see you guys next week at Pokertropolis.

Who ever wants to start the chatroom tonight, e-mail me and I’ll reply back with my full AIM SDMB buddy list.

I’m not very AIM savvy, but you can send it to me and I’ll give it a whirl. You might include a brief description of how to do a buddy list, you are the only buddy in my list, buddy!

OK, I have X Ray’s AIM buddy list loaded.

Nesta-1st
Nanook-2nd
Yeticus-3rd
Auger-4th
Capn-5th
Kyy-6th

.
. <now here’s the part where Auger and I become WPT commentators>
.
NorthShoreNanook: how’s your mike sexton impression?
Yeticus Rex: not good
AugerXPR: Well, Vince, he let Nanook back in the game with that weak play
Yeticus Rex: Im more of a VanPatten myself
Yeticus Rex: That’s fuckin rude!
NorthShoreNanook: Patten is ok, cept for his insistance on giving every single freakin hand a name
Yeticus Rex: Did you see him bluff with that 23 offsuit!
AugerXPR: Vince, I’m not a big fan of calling with a 2 3 OS
nestaheh: nh
Yeticus Rex: me neither unless the moon is at the cusp of Libra
Yeticus Rex: then I would be grim and go all in!
Yeticus Rex: Mike, I really don’t see much fight in this head to head
NorthShoreNanook: yeah its only been like 75 hands
Yeticus Rex: too many blinds, not enough sees
Yeticus Rex: candy
AugerXPR: You know, Vince, head to head is a whole different ballgame, guys will not be afraid to play any hand
Yeticus Rex: even those 27 os
Yeticus Rex: what the hell you can even pair up!
NorthShoreNanook: heh
Yeticus Rex: sometimes an 84 os can beat an 89!
NorthShoreNanook: more of a split pot than a beat :stuck_out_tongue:
AugerXPR: SOmetims a 4 7 can beat pocket q’s, too
Yeticus Rex: right you are Mike
NorthShoreNanook: you were supposed to bet into the flush :stuck_out_tongue:
Yeticus Rex: always give the opponent the idea that you have the straight or flush
Yeticus Rex: and don’t be afraid to knock your chip stacks down
AugerXPR: Put an opponent to a decision on all his chips
Yeticus Rex: right Mike and order a whiskey sour and slap the waitress’s rear end when she goes by…she loves it!
AugerXPR: Well, Vince, you know I’m a Michelob Amber Bock man
AugerXPR: The official beer of the SDMB Poker Tour
Yeticus Rex: but don’t let your wife see that kind of action when she’s in the stands…wives don’t like the ideaa of waitress ass slapping
Yeticus Rex: that swill?
AugerXPR: I see you, slappin dat ass, slappin dat ass
Yeticus Rex: I’m a coors light man myself
Yeticus Rex: that should be our new sponsor
AugerXPR: M A B is the Sponsor, I have to drink that shit (I drink Bud IRL)
Yeticus Rex: MGD IRL for me
Yeticus Rex: I don’t really mind amber bock, it’s drinkable
NorthShoreNanook: getting hard to bet, I’m covered in cats
AugerXPR: Never tried it, I just never go into trendy pubs
Yeticus Rex: Michelob amber cats…the new sponsor of SDMB World Poker Tour
AugerXPR: never hurts to have a little pussy rubbed on ya
Yeticus Rex: Michelob amber pussy…the new sponsor of the SDMB World Poker Tour
AugerXPR: there’s the time you need that 2 7
Yeticus Rex: well, Mike…Nook looked awfully strong with the 4s and 9s on the board…he was probably holding a 67 os
AugerXPR: Vince, Nesta has him crippled now
Yeticus Rex: yes he does and the pussy aint looking too good now
AugerXPR: He’s gonna have to catch 2 runners to double up[
Yeticus Rex: he’s gonna have to lay off the pussy during the game too
AugerXPR: Possible double open ended staright
Yeticus Rex: Nook is gonna have to pick his fights carefully now
AugerXPR: HE’s RUDE
Yeticus Rex: Nesta is gonna be bullying poor Nook until the pussy gets in the way
Yeticus Rex: Nook gets a little breather with that obvious 3c flush
Yeticus Rex: but Nesta aint putting away the Rude and Grim stick just yet
AugerXPR: Don’t count him out, folks. He’s a 2 time runner up here on the SDMB World Tour
NorthShoreNanook: hey, I won one too
AugerXPR: Sorry, VInce, He’s won here on the SDMB WPT
Yeticus Rex: Look at him claw and scratch his way back and keeping his pussy from drowning…what determination!
AugerXPR: (Sorry, I was relying on my statisticians, they are all drunk)
Yeticus Rex: Nook has just brought this game up another level
AugerXPR: RUDE
Yeticus Rex: and stealing the blinds too!
Yeticus Rex: Those pussies are gonna get to eat tonight!
AugerXPR: Vince, he’s just a 4:1 underdog, as you know, anything can happen here on the SDMB WPT
AugerXPR: He rudely pushes in
Yeticus Rex: Right Mike, including ringworm, syphyllis and diarehha
Yeticus Rex: Grim is really an understatement tonight Mike
AugerXPR: He’s trapping, Vince
Yeticus Rex: Oh, and out of nowhere!
NorthShoreNanook: goddam
AugerXPR: He got caught in Nestas beartrap
nestaheh: GG Nanook. Didn’t think it was going to end there for a while.
nestaheh: I was way behind on that one.
NorthShoreNanook: I can’t believ eyou had kings when I had queesn
nestaheh: I had KJ
NorthShoreNanook: oh it was a river
nestaheh: Hit the K on the river
NorthShoreNanook: fucking river
Yeticus Rex: Mike, I think Nook was paying too much attention to his pussies to see that obvious trap coming!
NorthShoreNanook: I didn’t see it, it went by too fast
NorthShoreNanook: That wasn’t a trap, that was a bad beat
AugerXPR: Vince, Nesta put the mother of all suck outs on Nanook
nestaheh: I was hoping for a coin flip…
Yeticus Rex: Traps and beats are not good for Nooks pussies
nestaheh: GG everyone who stuck around. :slight_smile:
nestaheh: Time to get some sleep…
Yeticus Rex: did you read our commentary!
Yeticus Rex: ?
AugerXPR: I bet you’re worn out
nestaheh: Yeah, I was laughing my ass off.
NorthShoreNanook: yes, it was funny
nestaheh: Trying to not get too distracted, though. That Nanook is a crafty one.
Yeticus Rex: we had to do something to stay awake
NorthShoreNanook: posted the results for xray, no comments til tomorrow
Yeticus Rex: It might be postable on SDMB
AugerXPR: Well, Vince, I haven’t seen a beat that bad since sombody stuck a bananna down my pants and turned the monkeys loose
nestaheh: Later everyone.
AugerXPR: Later GG
nestaheh has left the room.
NorthShoreNanook: I would have been more aggressive if I wasn’t so far down
Yeticus Rex: Those monkeys also put that poor schmuck in the hospital Mike
NorthShoreNanook: couldn’t afford to attack
AugerXPR: Later guys!
AugerXPR has left the room.
Yeticus Rex: I might post this for fun
NorthShoreNanook: do it :stuck_out_tongue:
NorthShoreNanook: night all
Yeticus Rex: heh
NorthShoreNanook has left the
room.

It’s a shame you can’t see the card action, we sound like a bunch of loonies! I can still see where I just said “Dang”. That’s where Yeti cut me off at the legs. Bastard.

You guys had a really good commentary going there. Funny stuff…even if some of it stooped to be Cro-Magnon Condescending.

Again, all that was going through my head last night was…outlast Duke. Of course, what do I do but go all-in preflop with pocket Qs. Nanook smartly pays the nice price to try to take me out and does just that (hit a straight on the turn? Or did you hit trips? Doesn’t matter.).

However, even if it didn’t help me in the standings, I feel much better about my play last night. I was in for at least 40 minutes, which is a damn sight better than what I’ve been doing recently. In other words, I didn’t play balls-out loose for a change.

Can’t wait to try P’Tropolis.

Oh yeah, and Yeti thanks for the edits on the IM post. Might have gotten ugly otherwise.

No problem. I knew THAT had to be edited. You shouldn’t be talking about the leader of North Korea that way. :wink:

The leader of North Korea is a Cro-Magnon?? Who knew…

It wasn’t pre flop, it was on the turn. I only called cuz I had an open ended and the price was really low(150 give or take I think). Pot odds were too good to pass up, and I got lucky to hit the straight on the river. Of course, it came back to bite me in the ass on the last hand when I went all in pre flop with Queens and Nesta caught a king on the river to take me out finally.

See…you see what Nyquil does! It messes with your brain but does a body good.

Paging x-ray vision! If we’re gonna do the PokerTropolis, better give them the 48 hour advance warning. So they’ll, you know, have time to hide all their chips.

That’s right…hide your chips, the Rude 'n Grim Boys are coming to town.

Or Tropolis, as the case may be

I’m gonna go reserve a table right now.
