    CS badly lacking a general poker thread imo.

    Anyway, myself and Jake have signed up for a freeroll starting at 6:42pm on Pokerstars, has a maximum of 9000 people which has been filled. The top 72 players of this tournament get a satellite to a Weekly Round 2 tournament of their choice, the Weekly Round 2 tournaments are of a variety of games such as Triple Stud and Hold'em Poker. Prize pool of $2000. :cool:

    There's also a Daily 90K Saturday freeroll tournament which has a limit of 40K people, that got filled yesterday. It's at 3:35am.. out of 40K people, 8th - 72nd win $5.50 and the top 7 get a satellite to the proper Daily 90K which had a prizepool of $120K last time, it's a guaranteed $90K + buyins anyway. I'm gonna stay up for that one. 3:35am AEST, sounds good, nothing like early morning poker ya.

    Freerolls are so gun (for cheap ****s and 15 year olds). I reckon if I enter enough of them I'll get a satellite into a cash tournament sooner or later. :cool:

    About $100 up on PKR this year, lost a wee bit last time I played which dragged it down.

    Entered the NZ one last night for full tilt poker. Came 9th out of 729 players. Won $3.

    I'm in tonights one atm, 27/342. Up $12 atm. Placed in a couple tourneys today too.
     
  4. Blake BE Quilty

    Good effort, are these freerolls? Presuming so if you only won $3 from finishing 9th - that, or they are like 10c buyins.
     
  5. Gazza GJ Weaver

    That was freeroll. They are on each night at 8:40pm so it's ideal. Was up till 1:30am last night though.

    I might have to try Full Tilt, never used it before as I'm far more comfortable with PokerStars and have never seen a reason to change. If there are decent freerolls though I may as well jump on.

    What was top prize?
     
  8. Athlai JJD Heads

    New internet cap will see me not signing into PKR for quite sometime. ****ing telecom.
     
  9. Gazza GJ Weaver

    $15

    I was on pokerstars but then remixed it over to ftp.
     
  10. Colesy BL Hornby

    Haha, fair enough. I havent played for money for ages. Rage quit it so hard when i got donkyed.

    I had q10 of spades raised the pot preflop

    Flop was q 10 7

    The 7 was a spade so the flop was awesome. I bet the pot which was quite a bit. 2 folds and 1 caller. Turn was 5, again a spade. I bet the pot again, again i get called.

    River was an 8, i went all in, other bloke went all in for less and turns over 6 9.

    I quit the tourney i was in and havent played since

    Used to play the FTP freerolls in my first year at uni, best placing was 2nd but the prize was significantly lower then.

    I lost >1,000,000 chips on party poker with pocket kings.

    And I ended with K K K K A

    Other **** ended with A A A A K

    Never played since.
     
  13. Colesy BL Hornby

    Yeah i used to play them too. I came 8th once outta 754 players. won **** all though, was a joke. I was chip leader at the time too, and the short stacks kept going all in for just over the blinds, i kept getting medium hands like k10, a8 j9 etc so i kept calling and getting hammered. Ended up going all in on AA and the other big stack called me with 88 and hit an 8 on the turn.
     
  14. Athlai JJD Heads

    There are some websites that would have given you a bed beat jackpot for that if it was cash poker. Where you would have won $10k or something and everyone at your table would get $1k or so. It was when any hand better than quad 8s lost, since it is soooooo unlikely.
     
  15. Jakester A Pimpkins

    Honestly just came to make this.

    Anyway, Blake and myself in a freeroll atm.
     
  16. Blake BE Quilty

    12 minutes into the freeroll on Pokerstars. The field is down to 5,393 from an original 9,000 players and my stack is $1,590 up from $1,500 to start. I've been playing pretty defensively though, keen to push on now and see how I go, would love to make top 1,000 even. 72 spots get a satellite so that's the ultimate goal but obviously it's not going to be easy.
     
  17. Gazza GJ Weaver

    On a break atm. 86/245, lost a couple of big hands.
     
  18. Blake BE Quilty

    Also on break, it's resuming in 3 minutes.

    Current position is 2,418 out of 5,370.
     
  19. Jakester A Pimpkins

    On a 10 minute break, only like 10 mins in.

    :S

    At $1145 after starting on $1500. Been getting shit flops but good pocket cards.
     
  20. Jakester A Pimpkins

    Gunna check out Full Tilt soon as well. Keen to get in on smaller freerolls. I wanna improve/get money from them and play real money sit and go's and shit.
