ILX POKER SHOWDOWN #6 - this time with rebuys! Sunday 13th Jan, 4pm ET/9pm GMT

perfect!

will definitely be in if i still have any money on fulltilt by then - have hit some rock bottom form lately.

although last night i thought i'd bounced back, but bubbled when I was sitting pretty on a winning hand with AA vs a lower flopped top pair, and got them to call my all in on the turn and they caught trips on the river. i'm sure these things are not supposed to hurt to much anymore

I'm in. Gotta see if I can retain my title although I'm confident I can't.

Ach you'll be fine Nick - that was mastery last week, that was.

uh, what is a re-buy and what is an add-on?

re-buy = if you run out of chips, you have a chance to buy a set of chips again (so if you're out 3rd hand for example you have the option of paying anohter $7 go get back in the game)

addon = after several stages (in this case, an hour), everyone who is still in has the option to pay $7 to add-on an amount of chips. i'm not so much a fan of that.

Yr password sucks.

im in. u are all done.

Wicked. N!tsuh, you going to play? If it's any consolation, the first password was raggett, and you were the second, but from that point I couldn't be arsed to change it every time so it stuck.

Ken, I didn't want or ask for the add-on, but maybe it's an obligatory part of the software, I dunno (or maybe they just assumed we wanted one). If it's a problem we can all have a gentleman's agreement not to add on?

anyone playing now. i am.

I am anti-add-on, mainly because I don't understand them and I'd rather not spend more money.

yeah add ons suck. but to each his own.

not having makes it a bit affordable

so lets agree not to use them then

Cool with me. I can't imagine anyone's going to make a fuss? Though I guess if someone has like 15 chips at the end of the rebuy hour, should we let them? It does increase the prize pool and keeps them in the game longer.

I'm totally gonna cheat and do an add-on, suckers.

And a fish adding more money is a bad thing how?

(big winky smile obv)

haha touche

turns out i didn't *quite* have enough for the rebuy. so i'm just gonna have to not need it.

Kelv! (upthread) Play!

Dude, play some more in the meantime and earn enough to afford the rebuy :)

(srsly, take it from one who knows - playing a rebuy tourney and not being able to afford to rebuy sucks enormous balls)

Looking at the tournament lobby now...only the winner gets paid this time?

bump dis

it depends how many people sign up i think?

it's top 3 now.

Ken OTM. Let's see if we can fill a table tonight?

yay just lost AA v QQ - surely i've used up all my bad luck tonight. you're all gonna get pwn3d now

6 people so far - come and join - 23 minutes till kick-off. Chris V, this includes you!

I be in... play nicely okay?

Bump!

grrr

gah

i hate ken and b00blar

jokes

did OK considering I was marking exams and watching TV for the first 40 minutes when I should have, y'know, been in the same room as the computer

lol at "kazor"

i could have played better tonight really.

Yeah you fucking could have, you fishy fucker :( :( :(

hahaha

lololololololololol

who actually won?

G00blar

will kazor start posting on ile?

howd he get in?

read this thread i guess!

(hello kazor!!)

I wondered if a lurker would take advantage of an openly posted tourney # and password. And now I know!

taking advantage is just taking part though!!

although i wonder if it was lurker or random googling!

maybe we should googleproof fu11t1lt and see what happens?

I don't necessarily object to kazor joining in, but I'd rather hand my cash to somebody I know (at least a little, via ilx) than a total stranger. It was kind of irritating when he jumped out to the early chip lead.

i know what you mean though. there wasn't much chatter which is what i enjoyed the most from these games really (aside from knocking mark c out)

You are an anus

i think he was googling for private tournaments where the participants sounded like an easy win!

Kazor OTM

When do we fancy another one lads? And was the rebuy a red herring in that only one person actually used it (although that one person did then go and win)?

i woulda re-bought but was telling my other half about the hand I lost all my money on and ran out of time

two people rebought and they came 1st and 2nd!

Kazor added on, rather than rebought, I think.

Really? I suppose he didn't get the 'no add-on' memo. (Feeling slightly guilty here for re-buying.)

Dude don't feel guilty, the rebuy was the whole point!

no kazor rebought. he took the rebuy option last hand before the break. it was all legit!!

so what is it to be? and also, this sunday?

I guess so, unless anyone has any new suggestions! Hey Chris, where were you bruv?

I am travelling for the next three weeks, so won't be able to lose money until February ;_;

I made $117 last night! First three-figure winning session in like 2 months :/
