ILX Poker Tournament, 24th February 2008, Full Tilt

So - me, Ken, Rock, PPlains, ledge - who else?

I should be there.

What is the opinion on anonymous lurkers seeing this info and joining in? Are we happy to have their money or irritated about them showing up to take ours?

i think lurkers are fine but random googlers not. the point of a private tourney is surely that it's for us here to have a play and a banter at the same time.

would be good to googleproof this thread.

Having never played on Full Tilt, what's the deal? Can I deposit via credit card? I'm not much of an online gambler at all, really.

+1 for googleproof.

Yes, you can deposit using a credit card. The minimum is $50, but I think someone was offering to help casual ILXors get around this by taking their money in person/bank transfer and transferring the same to their Full Tilt account?

Yeah, I'm happy to do that. Paypal might be a good way round that?

Alright, cool. As I said on the other thread, I can't do this Sunday, but I'll keep my eyes peeled for future games.

In detail, how does that work?

Do people have the option to give their money to other players on FT? (Besides "giving" in games?)

So a $5.50 deposit in Mark's PayPal would cover this one game?

if Full Tilt were as willing to deposit free money into my account as PartyPoker seem to be I would most definitely be there. as it is.... I may still be.

I can transfer you $5.50 on the site once you've signed up, yes. I haven't actually done the Paypal thing (I assume there are small fees involved, not sure) - I'm happy to just transfer you the cash on trust to start off with - hopefully you'll win and can just transfer it back.

So let me know yr username when you've signed up and I'll transfer the cash.

his username is kenjuggle i think

I thought it was RockHardy1. (Nice tribute, BTW)

I'm pplains on there. The donkey.

Just a reminder to go an register - it's open already.

See you in 52 and a half hours...

PP, I'll ship you the cash - hope you can play on Sunday.

OK, I registered.

PP, you need to fill in your address information before I can transfer you the cash.

I'd like to play, but where is 40428783? Like what room?

And where do I put my address?

Hi dere, I'm clueless.

There are tabs within tabs. From the main screen, make sure you're clicked on "real money." Then below that, click the "tournaments" tab. Under that, click the "private" tab, scroll down to the 24th, and look for that tourney number. Select that one and it'll say "ILXor Poker Showdown" in the window next to the Cashier button.

To add address, under the Account menu up top, go to "Change Personal Details."

Found the tourney, can't find any account menu.

I went to cashier's, but there is not change personal details designation there.

Figured it out. I should be good.

PP, have transferred the cash. Hope you can make it!

Anyone else? 2 hours to go...

I've played a couple of (very small) SnGs this morning to warm up.

Smashing - how did it go? I haven't played this weekend - oh, I did play Friday night when I got 2-outed on the river in a $110 pot, but what can you do :)

I remembered this time. I will now register and try not to get back from the kitchen after 30 minutes.

woohoo!

I have got two 180-man Stars MTTs on the go. I have had a few final tables lately but never a 1st or a 2nd. Maybe tonight eh.

Just remembered!

wow glad you bumped this.. was just about to go to bed!! will stay up now

7 playahs

rebuys? add-ons?

nope.

Cool.

Smashing - how did it go?

Poorly in the tourneys, but I more than made my buyins back in a .02/.05 ring game a little while ago. Now a quick bit of lunch before we start.

mah glenlivet is empty! don't remember finishing that. oh well on to the talisker.

tough life!

Such a dumb hand when I lost my stack to PP. I'm outta practice.

now what to do with the rest of my evening...

top tip for all budding poker players - don't listen to "say you, say me" while playing poker

At one point, I was the bully. Then I became the hunted. Finally, I finished second.

I just came first in my first ever sng! $19.50 bitch. I've made the cut a few times, but I always get too impatient and go all in when I shouldn't when it's down to the last two or three. Played it just right this time -- and some good cards didn't hurt.

I just came first in my first ever sng!

by which I mean I came first for the first time, not that this was the first time I'd played in a tournament.

there's something really wrong with my play lately i think.. keep losing and finding it really hard to keep cool. tried to steady myself tonight but started getting some shitty bad beats.

finally managed to be in the money (after losing like 5 in a row), i had KK and made trips on the turn and called someone all in who had a straight draw and they hit the frigging card. then had the nerve to tell me "bad timing".

might have to take a break.

Same here. This has been a shitty poker weekend.

When's the next game?

sunday?

Can be.

I had a dumb experience yesterday. Doing pretty well in the Full Tilt $20k freeroll, I misclick call a pfr with J7o. The button calls also. The flop comes J45, the original raiser puts out a tiny bet, so I re-raise, almost half my stack. What I hadn't foresee was that the button would push, covering me but still giving me 5/1 odds to call. So I do, he has KJ and I don't suck out. What an idiotic way to bust out.

I have used your investment into growing my funds, Mark C. I don't know how much of a capitalist you are, but it works for me.

Glad to see seed capital working! I wish I could say the same for mine...

$2 h2h's. Also, so glad I learned what "turbo" means.

for some reason i seem to be doing infinitely better on $20 sit and gos than in $10 ones

You play tighter in bigger money games?

maybe.. although i really don't feel my game really changes taht much.. perhaps it's just that everybody plays tighter

i'm having a very drunken $20 to test teh theory

haha it failed
