Just checking some Poker Tweets tonight.

There is $250K Buy-in tournament just starting down in Australia. I guess the 250K is Aussie dollars, which I didn't realize, until just now was at ~par with the US.

Anyways, there were 20 entrants (2 of them were late) Notables: Seidel, Ferguson, Dwan, Benyamine, and Ivey.

Eric Seidel has already doubled up (within 30 minutes) when he had Aces against another players Kings. James Obst? just lost $250,000 in 30 minutes.

Antes/Blinds started at 500/1000/2000 and the starting chip stacks were at 250K.

Eric Seidel tweeted that he was relieved that there are no re-buys. :eek:

Forgot to mention that the levels are increasing every 30 minutes!! And there is a 30 second shot clock! which I guess that a player can go ‘in the tank’ for 5-10 minutes. That might put Tom Dwan at a disadvantage as he is a noted ‘slow’ player.

And Oslo, where are the standings! We have played 3 times!

Double post

Scroll up, dude - #42.

I picked a bad week to quit sniffing glue. :smack:

I thought I would share this off-topic thing here instead of waiting for the game:

Swear frequency map.

Take that, bitches! I’m a 11-12! Looks like NFM is, too.

The highest score seems to be Flint, Michigan.

If the Thursday night, 9PM Central game hasn’t migrated to Stars already, come and join us tonight. (And if it has migrated to Stars, then I’m sure everyone would like to see you there too.)

I might not make it as I am currently in the running in the badugi freeroll and I’mnot used to dual playing yet. But i just might give it a shot anyway.

That is JACKED! Results for 27 Jan:
12. Red
11. Meeko

Damn cold knocked me out last night at 830. Actually, it was the Tylenol Severe Cold meds that knocked me out. Best sleep I have had in almost a week.

Is there a PS game tomorrow night?

And Lud- how did you do?

I can set one up. What would you like?

I’m agreeable. Stud, Hold’em, Badugi…

Only 230-ish out of 6500, which is pretty good for my third time playing Badugi ever, but not enough to get a ticket.

Triple Stud it is (Stud, Razz, and Stud Hi-Lo). 9:00 Central Time. Play Money.

Saturday Night, for those that are interested.

I found video of asterion (and Missy?) on poker night here.

looking a lot like the previous one.

It would seem like the Hubble NL games have a LOT of people playing non suited, middle connectors.

Am I undervaluing them ?

[Short stacked, went all in on A-8 off, Called by 6-5 off, I paired my ace, he paired his 5 of the turn, tripped on the river.]
