My live poker thread...

[Dookus]

I'm playing a big tourney online... first place pays $10,060. I'm currently in 11th place out of 40 remaining. 810 people started the tournament. Come cheer me on!

[gyopsy]

1. Wow! Out of 810 people...

to do that well is something to be proud of. Great work! :toast:

[Dookus]

4. thank you

I've played poker for many years... now it's online and honest.

I posted a thread here last week that I'd won 7k. I deposited the check today.

[Systematic Chaos]

15. Hey, if ya want you can send some pointers MY way!

:D

[Dookus]

17. Whaddya need to know?

[Systematic Chaos]

19. First of all, what room can I find you in if you're still playing?

I just downloaded the software, wanna watch the action at your table!

Then, if you could recommend any books or other tools to get the theory of the game down better, what would they be? You can PM me on that if you want.

And thanks on both counts. Good luck!

I'm now in 21st place out of 33 remaining.

[Dookus]

14. more than tripled now

bought in for $60... I'm now guaranteed at least $210

[ComerPerro]

16. I just found out about this

And, I am sorry, but I can't root for your.

Its nothing personal. It's just that I never have good luck. People and teams I openly root for always ... Well, you get the idea.

[Dookus]

21. I don't believe in Jinxes.....

wish me luck... c'mon. You can do it.

[ComerPerro]

22. Ok

Best of luck.

Seriously.

I am rooting for you.

[Dookus]

18. whoohoo

just doubled up... now 18 of 27....

[Systematic Chaos]

23. I see you need some serious luck at this point....

I'm over here getting an adrenaline rush watching this. :)

I hope you can go all-in with some kickass cards and some others take the bait....

<crossing fingers>

[Dookus]

thanks...

my biggest poker-success secret, though, is patience. Wait for a hand.

[Dookus]

24. thanks...

[Systematic Chaos]

25. YES!!

I saw you just redouble your chip count just now!

WTG!!

[Systematic Chaos]

26. Aw, dammit!!

A-9 to your A-2. If only the dealer would have flopped a stinking deuce. :(

[Dookus]

27. I finished 19th

and won $281, and bought in for $60, for a win of $221. Whoohoo!

[Systematic Chaos]

28. That's more than I make in a day.

Nice job, and you did it all in the comfort of your own home. :)

[Dookus]

29. thank you....

the ending was a disappointment. Heads-up, an ace is usually good.

[Dookus]

30. Now.....

I'm at table Langosta.....


head's up. $50 buy-in. If I win, I make 900 bucks. If I lose, 600.

[Dookus]

31. I won....

I got very lucky... hit a miracle card on the river. Won $900.

[VOX]

32. All right, Dookus! This is better than a raccoon in the kitchen...

Know when to hold 'em, etc.

Congrats! :toast:

[Dookus]

33. heheh...

thanks!

yes, it's more fun to win $$ than to chase racoons :)
