Tom and I were about to do an SnG and saw a lot of GWPS guys on, so we threw together a game. Was pretty good.

Velocity, Dean, Ben, Brian, BTS, shortkut, Coleman, Cluck, AlecTrevylan006, Tom.

Busts in that order. I came back from like 200 to be chip leader for a while, Tom took a bunch of my chips on a turn'd Ace, and then I lost more a few hands later, and then busted not too long after that. Was a good game.

Cluck.

Great game. I played pretty well through the whole game. It got down to three handed, and then Tom wore me down and ended up busting me.

Yeah, once it got to four handed I started my domination. Then heads up Trev crippled me incredibly. I still fought back down 8000-1800 to win.

I busted 3 of the last 4 people (kut, Cluck, and Trev).

Haha, that was such a crazy game.

I had so much money at the first move up that I couldn't fit it all even with an extra 1000 that Ben "lent" me once I sat in, but we all agreed to let the last bit slide.

Moved up again, I once AGAIN couldn't fit, with 5700 or so with a max of 5000. This time I got all my chips transfered thanks to Fonik's help.

But after I took a lot of chips from kut and then he died, I cried that it was like 1943 all over again and, like post-Stalingard Germany, I spiralled downwards.

Starting with over 5.7k, I lost back to back all-ins vs. Tom and Cole (IIRC, Tom's was 3 of a kind v. flush, cole's was two pair v. 3 of a kind). Got down to under 900 for a while, but then built it up to 4000 while Cluck and Cole were knocked out.

At the start of headsup, Tom had around 6000 to my 4000. But winning from there wouldn't be a challenge for tom, so after a couple bought blinds by me I won an all in to make it 8000-1800 in my favor.

Tom outplays me right back to 3.5k (though my looseness and stupidity surely helped) he doubled up when we both 3-flushed, but he had A to my K. Soon after he knocked me out once and for all.

Good game tom :bow:, and may I never have to face you again :P

Haha nice game, and congratz Tom :P

Wow Velocity that signature is really amazing ,is it personally yours or can other people also use it?

Coleman
May 7th, 2006, 03:09 PM
It's in the Sign-Up thread where I told you they were. It's one of the ones I made.

Oh , very nice one Coleman really beatifull sig, Im going to use it right now

Dean
May 7th, 2006, 04:16 PM
Yeah, that sig is really sweet, Cole. I would've used it, but I wanted something more personalized until I lose the championship.

But yeah, remember how like, 8 months ago you told me you were gonna make me a sig...? :D

Anyway, congrats on the win, Tom. I lost pretty early relatively. I usually don't bust so early, but I thought I was good since I didn't expect either of the other people in the hand to have a straight. I had aces and twos... versus aces and queens. Ouch. :(

Good game to all.

Yeah, that was not my game at all. I was never over 1000. I stayed at just under 1000 for a while, but I lost most of my money when I read Trev as having an ace in his hand (since I also had an ace) but he had flopped aces and sixes which beat my pair of aces. After that I was just getting blinded down and every hand I tried to play would be a terrible flop. For example I'd play AK for a raise and the board would read 567. Someone would of course bet the flop. It didn't help that for the first half hour or so I was playing a chess game too. I can't multi-task at all.

Nevertheless, good game to all that played. Trev, you play like that this series and Tom's odds from last series might be right :P.

And I believe Cluck knocked me out, so nyah nyah to kut.

I'll only prove Tom's odds from last series right if he gives me odds akin to series 2.

I single-handedly manage to screw up his odds in every single tournie. (btw, sorry bout that tom :P)
