See? I'm good luck!

SirFozzie · 03-29-2006, 09:44 PM

And Lathum's Q9 flops two pair, and takes out KQ.. NICE!

kingfc22 · 03-29-2006, 09:44 PM

huge flop for Lathum

Lathum · 03-29-2006, 09:45 PM

panerd · 03-29-2006, 09:45 PM

I did a search to find you and noticed you are playing in another game! I sweat over the $5 tournaments, this guy has nerves of steel.

Barkeep49 · 03-29-2006, 09:46 PM

Lathum, FTR, is currently is second stack with 5 players left. Short stack has about 600k with blinds at 20k/40k 2k blind.

SirFozzie · 03-29-2006, 09:46 PM

Lathum with the #2 chip stack..

SirFozzie · 03-29-2006, 09:49 PM

Looks like they're gonna at least look at chopping it

Barkeep49 · 03-29-2006, 09:49 PM

Talk of a chop has now seem to have taken some hold with Lathum still sitting in 2nd chip position

kingfc22 · 03-29-2006, 09:50 PM

looks like a 5-way chop

Barkeep49 · 03-29-2006, 09:50 PM

Question for those with more experience here: is it normal for them not to talk about the amounts each will get during this sit out period?

SirFozzie · 03-29-2006, 09:51 PM

Looks like about $22,700 to be chopped up..

Usually, the host will start by telling them what a equalshares chop is, and what a chipcount chop will be

Captain2711 · 03-29-2006, 09:54 PM

No Chop.. Bring it home. If I could only see your face when you take it. Oh. I'll just look to my left. Go Lathum

SirFozzie · 03-29-2006, 09:55 PM

Lathum has about 25% of the available Chips, so he should push for at LEAST 3rd place money

Barkeep49 · 03-29-2006, 09:56 PM

Lathum is advocating at least 1k be left to play for. Frankly this whole depending on PokerStars to show up seems like a silly way to do things. Seems like more discussion could be had as the blinds will go up and then it will become even more of a crapshoot.

SirFozzie · 03-29-2006, 09:57 PM

you should email them too, Lathum

Lathum · 03-29-2006, 09:57 PM

the thing is I don't NEED the money so I will push for all I can get

Lathum · 03-29-2006, 09:57 PM

the thing is I don't NEED the money so I will push for all I can get

Barkeep49 · 03-29-2006, 10:03 PM

And the deal seems to be off with Lathum stealing a blind. It's now the break. If support doesn't show up soon it looks like it'll be poker once more.

Maple Leafs · 03-29-2006, 10:04 PM

This feels like it's going to get ugly.

kingfc22 · 03-29-2006, 10:06 PM

Who has a gun? Old school poker

SirFozzie · 03-29-2006, 10:06 PM

someone tell cigardad to stop stirring up shit.

SirFozzie · 03-29-2006, 10:09 PM

Actually, tell hands to sit in

Poker novice here -- what's a chop?

kingfc22 · 03-29-2006, 10:10 PM

this keeps getting better.

SirFozzie · 03-29-2006, 10:12 PM

Lathum would owe about 5-7.5% of his chop amount to Hands

Lathum · 03-29-2006, 10:13 PM

holy crap, there is no way i will do an equal chop

Barkeep49 · 03-29-2006, 10:13 PM

For those not in the game at the moment: Lathum stole a blind right before the break. He then ended up stealing a second blind attempting to give back the money. The rest of the players are very upset and want Lathum to give the person whose blinds it was the 100k in chips.

panerd · 03-29-2006, 10:14 PM

Let this be a lesson to never do a chop, much less a five way chop. Hawkeye is whiney bitch.

Barkeep49 · 03-29-2006, 10:14 PM

DOLA -- Which Lathum immeadiately agreed to do and the Poker host is now going to factor into the chop.

primelord · 03-29-2006, 10:16 PM

FWIW I understand their point of view. We all know Lathum and no he wouldn't cheat anyone, but they don't know him. There are LOTS of people who would try and sneak a few blinds like that.

Clearly to us this was an innocent mistake, but like I said if I had no idea who Lathum was I might be a bit suspicous as well.

panerd · 03-29-2006, 10:17 PM

Prediction: Hawkeye will whine and only agree to even split. Poker game will resume. Then Lathum can knock him out.

wade moore · 03-29-2006, 10:18 PM

Do you have to be signed up with PokerStars to watch?

wade moore · 03-29-2006, 10:19 PM

And somewhat poker novice - how exactly did Lathum "unfairly" steal the blind?

kingfc22 · 03-29-2006, 10:19 PM

I want this thing to continue

I understand what you are saying. But it has been obvious for about 20 minutes that this would be a split based on chip count and a few of these guys will be acting suprised when the numbers come back in.

How do you steal a blind?

All the players were sitting out, meaning their hands were instantly folded, as they waited for soemone from Pokerstars to come. Lathum clicked sit in and raised on a couple of hands. As everyone else folded Lathum won the pots.

He is now quite insistently defending his honor and advocating a fair deal.

the 2nd time, he should've waited told hoops to go ready and to raise all in and fold, waited, and then done it, but really no harm intended

WVUFAN · 03-29-2006, 10:23 PM

I'm not understanding why people would agree to a chop. If you're second place, go for the win.

Then again, I'm a poker novice.

Barkeep49 · 03-29-2006, 10:23 PM

Surprising me and several others a chip count split seems to have been agreed to with Lathum giving the person who he "stole" the blinds from some extra cash.

Gotcha... seems like the technology could be better...

This whole chopping thing is just silly imo, especially splitting it evenly, tha'ts just assinine.

Because the difference between 9000 and 2000 is a lot of money.

because there is such a difference in the places. $4K difference between 1st and 2nd, $7300 beween first and fifth. This way, every one doesn't have to worry about one card costing them HUGE amounts of money

Ah, so if they play it out, there is a set amount of money that each place gets?

Lathum walks away with 5200 and change. What a night! I expect to see you in the next several FOFC tournies!

Maple Leafs · 03-29-2006, 10:27 PM

Good work, Lathum.

It's chopping based on chip count, not evenly.. one way a lot of folks do it is to "gaurantee" everyone the lowest amount left (in this case, $2K for fifth,) and then chop the amount based on the chip status for the rest.

I'm surprised Lathum didn't push to leave a certain amount on the table, but the way they were suspicious, I don't think they'd take it
