SDMB Poker Q4 2010 - I just lost "The Game" (and so did you!)

I’m told the winner of the tourney has the duty of posting the results. This week I am so honored, though my esteemed opponents played well.

11 crane
10 peek
9 MG
8 missy
7 meeko
6 gray
5 fubbs
4 NFM
3 oslo

1 hellboy (aka, GreenHell)

Thanks for playing all. 'Grats to our winners and better luck next time for those who didn’t place. :slight_smile:

A few of us played a Stars freeroll after the game. I lasted until I was out at 275th out of 5589. Thanks to Oslo and Hellboy for railing. I was actually amazed to find that I won one or two hands of Omaha.

standings:

1 MindWanderer 77.8
2 Duke of Rat 74.7
3 Dag Otto 73.6

GreenHell has an excellent chance of winning the quarter if plays next week.

And don’t let Dag fool you - he played very well in the tourney, which was mixed PLHE/PLO.

Oslo, you going to publish the 2010 year by itself?

I guess we are looking for themes for next quarters thread.

Wiki Leaks?

Probably not - too much work. :cool:

So you are denying me an opportunity to mock Peeker? :stuck_out_tongue:

Ok, I’ll look into it.

Jeez, mutter, mutter.

I don’t really understand what those rankings mean or how they are derived. Especially not considering I “have a good chance of winning” for the quarter, since I’m not even 17th in those rankings. However, I have enjoyed the play and cameraderie of the Doper tourney.

Also, though I didn’t do well in the Pstars freerolls that night, I placed 36th of 4000 and won a seat in a tourney on Friday! : ) If I can’t buy my way in, I’ll WIN my way in!

Well, he has passed the hidden test. He is now officially one of us.

Which is to say “” Join the Club “”. We have no Fcking clue either.

Oslo has a spreadsheet that awards points for each week’s game, based on where you finish and the number of players (more points for beating a large field than a smaller one). The quarterly standings are your average points for the weeks you played, so no penalty for missing the game.

Like any average, someone can make a few appearance and get on a hot streak and get a score that they probably can’t maintain over time. It wouldn’t be fair to award the major league batting title to a guy who played in one game and got a couple hits. So you need a minimum of three results before you’re included in our standings.

In other words, for a system you “don’t really understand”, you’ve manipulated it brilliantly.

Admit it, you want to mock Peeker just as much as I do.

I liked my take on it better. Ignorance is Bliss.
Did someone say steak?

We’re rather against that sort of thinking around here.

That totally didn’t check with me. LOL.

… Does that mean I won’t be getting my steak?

Maybe we can have this for year end prizes

Still sore over that slow-played flush, are we?

Bump. and Meeko, yes my butt is still chapped about that.

And we need some ideas about the 2011 1st quarter Poker Thread:

I think Wiki leaks should be integrated into the title but I can’t think of anything clever.

Yeah, but I need brain bleach after clicking that link.


Sandbagging your Wiki-leaks since XXXX.

Bump.

And that is pretty good thread title.

Or going in another direction:

“Taking Wiki-Leaks since XXXX”

or

“SDMB Poker Wiki-Leeks, Flavoring Soups/Stews since XXXX”

“Wiki-Peeks: Still sucking since XXXX”
“Wiki-Meeks: Chapping butts”
