Friday Night Poker

vtbub · 07-31-2003, 10:36 PM

OK FOFC'ers, 8 PM tomorrow night at Absolute?

Sign up here.

or AIM me at vtbub03

SirFozzie · 07-31-2003, 10:38 PM

I'm in.

Wonder if RPI can pull himself away from CM4

mrskippy · 07-31-2003, 10:39 PM

For real money???

vtbub · 07-31-2003, 10:41 PM

No. Funny money

mrskippy · 07-31-2003, 10:44 PM

Oh, oh well. If someone ever got a real money game going, I'd probably join in (as long as the stakes we're realistic).

sabotai · 07-31-2003, 10:53 PM

I'll try to make it.

MJ4H · 08-01-2003, 07:26 AM

Doesnt have to be real money to be fun. I play both and as long as you have good players (this bunch of FOFC players is pretty good) then its fun.

I tend to think with poker, it kind of does. With poker, the fun is in the decision making process staying in or getting out. For play money, why would you ever get out? There is no reason not to chase that 1.8% chance.

cuervo72 · 08-01-2003, 08:57 AM

Oh, I don't know if I agree with that. If you are naturally competitive when it comes to games and are determined to win, you would want to play your best and not be reckless.

I'm going to sign onto one of these one of these Fridays, if I can ever get freed up kids-wise (i.e. get them to bed) in time. Odds are I wouldn't be around long though, haven't played yet, just watch WSoP/WPT.

Radii · 08-01-2003, 10:02 AM

I prefer to play against friends for very low stakes or play money like we do here. If I'm going to go try to take hundreds of dollars from people at a poker table, I'd rather not know them

I probably can't play tonight tho.

I am competitive, and that's why when I am risking nothing, I stay in every hand - to try to win. I have played enough poker for funny money to know it bores me to death. Obviously I am not the only one who feels this way. That said, I am with radii on the low stakes thing.

SirFozzie · 08-01-2003, 10:52 AM

Since we play tournament style, and you score points for tournament victories M-Th, it helps to hone my style for the BIG tournies

MJ4H · 08-01-2003, 10:58 AM

Because if you stay in for that long shot draw, you will lose. And, yes since we play sit and go tournaments, you lose, youre out. Play money games can be fun, again, if you are playing with good players (and this bunch is pretty good).

sony · 08-01-2003, 11:21 AM

I'll try to make it. This'll be my firs time participating. What time?

sony · 08-01-2003, 11:22 AM

My mistake.. is that 8 pm EST?

SirFozzie · 08-01-2003, 12:20 PM

yup. 8 PM Eastern.

www.absolutepoker.com to get the files.

BishopMVP · 08-01-2003, 01:30 PM

I'll be in there. Might be there a little later than 8 but I'll make it. Who else is in the Weekly Challenge at 11 EST?

Esquared1 · 08-01-2003, 03:50 PM

I'll be there. Yahoo: Esquared1

henry296 · 08-01-2003, 03:52 PM

I may stop by for a little bit. Post here what table you are at.

Todd

MJ4H · 08-01-2003, 03:58 PM

Im there for sure babe

panerd · 08-01-2003, 04:01 PM

I will probably try this out. Do you have to make an initial deposit upon downloading the software to get their 20% payout? (i.e. Can I play for funny money tonight and then make a deposit later on?)

henry296 · 08-01-2003, 04:09 PM

I will not be able to make. A friend just called with an extra ticket to the Orioles-Red Sox game tonight.

lcjjdnh · 08-01-2003, 04:15 PM

May stop in to play, depends on whether i can get a real game going with my friends tonight.

panerd · 08-01-2003, 04:18 PM

If I do make a deposit at absolute, who wants the referral fee? The way I see it we might as well milk these guys for as much as we can. They are really never in a position to lose anything.

Solecismic · 08-01-2003, 04:51 PM

I'll give it a try. I downloaded the software last month, haven't had a chance to play yet.

No real money required.

panerd · 08-01-2003, 05:07 PM

Allright, what is the deal with online poker downloads? I could never get partypoker to download so I eventually gave up. Now I am trying to get absolutepoker to download is it won't happen. Is there some sort of IE setting that I have to change?

SirFozzie · 08-01-2003, 05:56 PM

Panerd: I think they MIGHT have taken down the download because they are updating the software over the weekend.

AIM me or PM me here and I can see if I can grab it for you

illinifan999 · 08-01-2003, 06:06 PM

I'll try to make it.

On another note, I had $10 put into my real money account. I didnt put it there, but did get an email saying Thank You from Absolute Poker. Now I just need to get $40 more thank yous and I can withdraw the stuff.

panerd · 08-01-2003, 06:11 PM

Thanks SF! Customer service got me up and going. (Very impressive and fast. Partypoker never even bothered responding to basically the same questions) So count me in tonight. From just messing around with the program, I am not sure if I would trust this with real money. My screen keeps shifting to black and white and the menu system is a pain in the ass to get working. But let's see how the cards go. (the important part)

SirFozzie · 08-01-2003, 06:42 PM

Ron and I are already online. We are at Single Table Tourney "Holdem A"

MJ4H · 08-01-2003, 06:43 PM

illininfan i got that same $10 randomly given to me. Ive since doubled it at the $2 tournament tables. Once I get it up to $50 I will move to the $5 tournament tables and once I get that over $100 I will move to the $10 tables. My master plan is falling into place

panerd · 08-01-2003, 06:45 PM

Are we playing a private tournament? Just post info once we are onboard.

cuervo72 · 08-01-2003, 06:51 PM

Any spots left?

SirFozzie · 08-01-2003, 06:52 PM

it's a sit and go style thing, so when a tournament ends, just sit down and we start up again when we get seven total players

cuervo72 · 08-01-2003, 06:56 PM

Ok, sounds good (will give me time to get my son to bed too...)

Pumpy Tudors · 08-01-2003, 07:14 PM

So how do I get in? I'm in Absolute Poker, but where do I find the table?

panerd · 08-01-2003, 07:17 PM

Well first hand of online poker I have ever played and I get 3 kings and my opponent goes all in and beats me with a straight. Glad this wasn't for real money.

SirFozzie · 08-01-2003, 07:19 PM

Pumpy: Click on tourney, then single table, then look for Holdem A

(after you log in)

Pumpy Tudors · 08-01-2003, 07:37 PM

Tried to get in, but I had connection issues trying to get to the table. I'll give it one more go, but if I don't get in, I guess I'm out. By the time I eventually get in, everyone will be gone.

GoldenEagle · 08-01-2003, 07:52 PM

I am in.

GoldenEagle · 08-01-2003, 07:57 PM

Dola. I was in, but now I have to go before the next game starts. Ill be back in an hour thogh or I should be.

cuervo72 · 08-01-2003, 07:57 PM

Pumpy, I'm guessing we can only "Join Table" when the state of the table is "Registering" but not "Running"....when I try to do so now, I get an error:

tho.exe login password 1 -- Game Clien (rest is cut off)

cuervo72 · 08-01-2003, 08:49 PM

Crap....tried to join table just now when it was in the registering stage, and it still gave me the error. I just signed up/downloaded a couple of hours ago. Is there some sort of confirmation e-mail I need before joining tables (if so I haven't gotten one yet).

vtbub · 08-01-2003, 09:05 PM

cuervo72 · 08-01-2003, 09:14 PM

Well....still haven't gotten it. And I've definitely registered - it LOOKS like I can log in, but I guess the game is still "locked". Which is funny as their instructions page made it sound like you couldn't register unless the game was unlocked (which doesn't exactly make sense).

Guess I'm going nowhere for now.

vtbub · 08-01-2003, 09:31 PM

bummer

cuervo72 · 08-01-2003, 09:46 PM

Well, I'll just try to get it ironed out by next week. Starting to get pretty tired now anyway
