MacroGuru · 02-08-2005, 11:49 PM

I am in table Rom in the Multi-Table tourney

stevew · 02-08-2005, 11:51 PM

I finally played a tourney down the other day and finished "in the money." I could not believe the amount of stalling that went on at that point, especially when it switched to hand for hand mode. Enough to make a preacher swear. Still was nice to make about 80 bucks i wasnt expecting.

GoldenEagle · 02-08-2005, 11:53 PM

I am watching. Hit me up on AIM if you ant another set of eyes.

That is when you jump and play real aggressive. Players are so reluctant to play you can win a ton of chips quickly.

MacroGuru · 02-09-2005, 12:53 AM

another 5 minute break.

27 players left, I am ranked 12th...

GoldenEagle gets major major props for his assistance.

MacroGuru · 02-09-2005, 01:59 AM

5 minute break

final table, 3rd in chip count with 52k

Grid Iron · 02-09-2005, 02:02 AM

GET IT DONE, DOG!!!

GoldenEagle · 02-09-2005, 02:10 AM

AKo, our hero was getting short stacked. He pushed all in guy called with A10o. Flop came xxx-10-x and the guy won.

MacroGuru · 02-09-2005, 02:11 AM

Finished 7th, walked away with $40 from it. Not bad for the $5 investment.

Many thanks goes out to GoldenEagle, as he helped me work some action that would have killed me, if I would have played with the heart and not the mind.

I am hooked though........

Grid Iron · 02-09-2005, 02:19 AM

Great job!

kingfc22 · 02-09-2005, 02:57 AM

good stuff

MacroGuru · 02-09-2005, 11:11 AM

Thanks....so quick question.

I know I asked what people thought of what is the better site..

I notice a lot of you play at party poker. I will definately sign up there, and dump in some cash for playing over there....

but I just have an affinity for the PokerRoom software, especially after the upgrade a month or two ago....

GoldenEagle · 02-09-2005, 03:57 PM

It is just different strokes for different people. You can win a ton off ring game at Party but they tourneys suck. Poker Stars is probably the best to play tourneys at. I recommend just downloading all the software and playing in some free rolls to see what you like best.

By the way, I aced that test I was suppose to be studying for.

Congrats on the test...I am dragging ass today....btw, while I was playing in tourney, I was supposed to be writing 2 reports and working on a preso....If I didn't have the right priorities, I would have to kill myself
