Support NeoGAF

[Mister Zimbu]

So I finally got around to installing Pokertracker on my laptop, and it doesn't look like the Home Game tourneys are getting imported? Or am I just missing something? The logs seem to get processed correctly. I don't see any of you fools listed in my player database.

I don't think home games is supported by PokerTracker. I don't recall ever getting a HUD on mine.

This is probably for the better so you don't see my 4 / 1 / 0 statistics.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

That's what I figured. I wonder if it would pick up home game cash tables?

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Looks like the latest beta version of PT3 has home game support. Dunno if I'll bother upgrading just for that though.

 

[Cooter]

You guys want to start a Beginner Poker thread? We could include how to get started and post hand histories and newbie advice. I got started from Something Awful's beginner thread, and I'd like to see a bigger community form on GAF.

Granted, I'm a newbie myself, so I'd prefer people who know cash games/tournies/PLO/how not to rage tilt 10 BI (lol) to help out!

Do it. I'll offer all my knowledge and would love to bounce hands off people here. Gonna try and play Sat. Things always come up it seems. This Sat I had and opportunity to go play some 2/3 at the Atlantis in Reno. That will win every time. My name is Wally_Wall24 on PS.

 

[Heel]

Pretty much a lurker on the boards, but love playing poker. Glad to join if you need more players!

 

[XiaNaphryz]

I think our tourneys average around 6-7 players or so thus far? We've never had more than 2 tables worth of people. The more the merrier!

 

[Cooter]

Tourny's are fun but I prefer live games. We should coordinate a .01/.02 GAF cash game too.

Sounds good to me...I think 6-max NL might be my best game.

 

[Instro]

I keep forgetting you guys are doing this, Ill try to jump in on the next one.

 

[Mister Zimbu]

I'll be setting up the PLO game soon. Might start it with slightly deeper stacks than normal.

For the "main event" the week after I'll probably increase the buyin to a crippling $5+$0.50, increase the stacks, and slow down the blinds.

Maybe 10+1 or somewhere in between... don't want to get too high and drive people off though.

 

[Yaboosh]

Is anyone willing to do money transfers in exchange for a paypal transfer? I am talking pretty small here, like $20-30.

Send me a PM.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

New non-beta version of PT3 is out, should have home game support!

 

[Yaboosh]

The tournament this afternoon seems to be named PLO but is saying it is NLHE.

 

[K.Jack]

Yeah it was definitely supposed to be PLO, today.

 

[Mister Zimbu]

Good catch. I just cancelled the old one and made a new one.

If you were registered for the old one you'll need to re-register for this one.

 

[Yaboosh]

I am going to try to make it but I am working today, so I might be too busy at start time to really sit down and play.

 

[VALIS]

Personally I think if we want more people in these games we should stick to NLHE. Omaha, Razz, etc. are fun, but Texas Hold 'Em is the game everyone knows and everyone plays. But on the other hand if significantly larger crowds don't show up for NLHE weeks, then fuck it, I'd rather mix things up, too.

Anyway, tourney starting in a few, good luck all.

 

[parrotbeak]

Maybe we can stick to NLHE for a while and regardless if player numbers pick up or not, switch it up later? I don't know how long though.

Anyway, I'm in. Not sure if I'll make it every week anymore; some things in my schedule have changed. I probably won't make next week.

 

[Inflammable Slinky]

In your face tm!

 

[Yaboosh]

Playing while working is hard.

Damn you XIAAAAAAAAA.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

No worries, I ran into overpairs a few times and ended out 8th.

 

[Mister Zimbu]

Playing while working is hard.

Damn you XIAAAAAAAAA.

Was distracted myself... was playing Minecraft on the other screen.

It's hard to count your outs while being constantly interrupted with "burrrr" sounds.

 

[VALIS]

Wally Wall catching crazy runners. Haha.

 

[K.Jack]

Finished 2nd. GG.

With PLO being my best game, I came in feeling like cashing was my only choice. I'm satisfied with how I played.

 

[Cooter]

One game and one win. I wish I could keep up this winrate. Good game all.

 

[tmdorsey]

In your face tm!

Bah! Nicely played. I started tilting when I loss that big pot to your two pair. Sucks to fall like that after starting so good. That's ok. I'll be back!!

 

[Cooter]

Anyone interested in setting up a GAF ring game? Maybe .05/.10 NLHE? Have it after the Sat tourney at 2:00 PST or something.

 

[Mister Zimbu]

Setting up the "main event" soon... any thoughts on buyin since it's the last event for the season?

$3? $5? $10? I don't want to get too high for anyone.

In a side note, it's a big Sunday for micro/low-stakes tourneys coming up; Stars has a $1,000,000 guarantee for $10+1, and FTP has its monthly BLT ($2 buyin, $100,000 guaranteed)

 

[Mister Zimbu]

Won my entry into the $1 million guarantee in a 235FPP SnG.

It lasted five hands.

Hooray!

 

[XiaNaphryz]

It lasted five hands.

Hooray!

Those are the best. Especially when you're about to double up really early and the guy hits his one outer on the river.

 

[Mister Zimbu]

To be fair, it was a hyper turbo so I wasn't expecting it to last too long, but longer than 5 hands.

I sorta did that first hand... I turned a set against the other guy's flopped top pair. Though it was AIPF so that doesn't really count.

Feels good to triple up in hand 1.

Now I just need to learn to "play poker" and not "be a tight-passive nit who only gets his money in way behind" and I'll be a very rich man.

There is no "play poker" in hyper turbos though.

 

[K.Jack]

Help.

I've been multi tabling PLO for like 15+ hours with no break. I'm trying to luckbox my way into a milestone hand. The longer I play, the more paranoid I become of a table hitting the bonus as soon as I leave. The worst part, is that I'd decided to mostly quit, yet I'm now back in the grind and will have made SilverStar in one day.

Tried 9-tabling for an hour or so, but that shit was going to kill me on this tiny notebook screen.

I've been 4 tabling my current set for hours though, so if I do my payout will be in the thousands. But of course Pokerstars hates me. At least I have zero expectations.

If you want to sweat my session, I'll be playing for another ten hours. Look up san goku

 

[K.Jack]

My brain imploded at like 5 a.m., up 12 buy-ins across four tables of PLO.

I'm about to run to an eye appointment real quick, then I'll be back on the grind.

 

[BowieZ]

^ jesus christ quit gambling dude asap

meanwhile, i should be good to go this weekend! no work <3

but i do have a party the night before so :/

 

[Mister Zimbu]

Yeah, well aware that hyper turbos are just push/fold. Was more talking about how I tend to just get run over in cash games and regular tourneys (especially on Stars).

Main Event - March 26 201 4:00 pm EST
No Limit Texas Hold'em ($5 + $0.50)

I have the Main Event set up now. It's a bit higher buyin but not too much. Overall I would've liked to go a bit higher than $5 buyin, but I think $10 might turn some people off and we're already desparate for numbers as is.

Starting stacks are 3k instead of 1k, so there should be quite a bit of play.

This will be the last event of the season. After this I'm not sure what will happen. Would probably be a good time to close this thread and start up a general Poker megathread instead to try to get some more traffic.

It's a bit dead right now though.

 

[Mister Zimbu]

Wow, that completely flew under my radar.

 

[Mister Zimbu]

Just the weekly reminder. Just a little under 4 hours to go!

 

[Mister Zimbu]

Half an hour left... need more!

 

[VALIS]

Light turnout with 8 people, but good play.

1. Xia
2. Beukes23

[XiaNaphryz]

A couple of brutal beats in that tourney.

 

[K.Jack]

I finished the series the way I started it, going out on the bubble. I hate you all.

At least I made a good showing, in the PLO tourney.

Let's populate the Poker OT, and keep it active.

[Inflammable Slinky]

Gah completely forgot again.

Oh well, probably would have lost anyway.

 

[K.Jack]

So I finished in 4th place 7 of 9 games?

Shameful.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

4th or worse, to be accurate. Also, the heads-up tourney only paid out 1st place for some reason, so even 2nd and 3rd would be considered out of the money in that one.

Did I ever finish worst than 4th? I don't recall doing so. Unless it was in a play money...

Also, the heads up tourney paid 1st through 4th (ask me how I know...). The 8-game was winner take all.
