O and another thing, PLEASE PM ME THE FINAL HAND OF EACH MATCHUP. I need this so I have proof that each matchup was played, and so there are no excuses.

Thanks!

bit of a problem here. as soon as 1 person is sitting out (ie. bust) the list of previous HHs disappears.

In shot-online it was up to the loser of the match to post the results

Otherwise, just screenshot the table at the end of the match and send it in. The last hands results should still be in the chatbox?

O

[dranger7070]

Ahhhh fack. I guess scratch that then... I guess if both players could just post on here that the matches were played that will have to do.

Just go to the instant HH in requests/options or whatever it is.

[Muzzard]

Bump, make sure u all know who you're playing and arrange appropriate times with them.

[dranger7070]

Thanks muzz

Just railed settecba's and JR's match. They each won a round, so it went into the 3rd. Settecba lost with 99 to JR's AJ. GG both players.

JR advances.

[dranger7070]

Well me and Carroters just finished our HU match. Took around 600 hands and he won it in 2, but we both agreed it shoulda went to 3 lol. The first match went so fast it was pathetic. I owned myself in a 3b pot with 67s on a QQx two tone board. I checked, he bet, I raised, he pretty much jammed, obv i fold gg sir. He had K9 of the two suited cards on the board so not a bad move at all. Soon after he busted me 88 < TT PF.

2nd match was a completely different story. Back and forth for 600ish hands. It was pretty intense lol. I was down to 150~ at lowest point in the beginning. Fought back, won some key pots, and got HIM down to ~180 then he fought it back to even. Continues at around even for the next 400 hands then I made a couple of questionable plays and he made some good calls, and im down to 350.

Last hand of 2nd match. I'm in the BB with TT, he opens to 6, I 3-bet to 21, he flats. Flop comes xTJ two tone. I bet out, he raises, I cib it (minraise) he snap shoves which is what I was looking for, and he shows A9 for a flush draw. Hits on turn, I don't suck out. GG sir.

Was an extremely entertaining match, and can't wait for the next one of these. It'll probly be around mid-April when I set up another one. Good luck everyone and I'll obviously keep this updated with the bracket and whatnot.

[kfaess]

Sil and I just finished our spewfest of a match. He won and played very well. I would post some hand histories but I'm not really sure how to get play money HH's.

GL to those still in it.

[x] spewfest
[x] I won
[ ] I played well

I basically luckboxed the first match as a semi bluff shove I made on the turn resulted in me rivering a flush to beat Kfaess' TPTK hand in a 4bet pot.

He took down the 2nd match making a very good call on the river with 2nd or 3rd pair after i shoved what was left of my stack with nothing but a busted draw.

Third match finished with an interesting hand. I can't remember it exactly but I basically raised K's cbet w bottom pair. He shoved and I called. He didn't hit his FD and one of his overs was tainted.

All in all I think it was a good game that could in all honesty gone either way. GG dude!!

Yea def a GG, I had a great time playing this match and it was different for me since most 10NL opponents aren't really thinking that much.

I just e-mailed stars and they don't save play money HH's anymore, oh well

[dranger7070]

Hey guys, dont worry about sending HH's I guess. Its not that big a deal, as long as you guys let me know you played. We can just go on the honor system, its really not that big a deal I guess. (Its only $5 right? ) Good work sil, and tough break kfaess, see you the next time around I hope!

[Illfavor]

Epic match between M2M and I going on NOW

[Micro2Macro]

I won my match vs Illfavor 2-0.

Mostly because I caught cards, like a sick gutshot on the river in the final round. Basically I'm a huge luckbox so I'm not giving any credit to my so called 'poker skill'.

GG man

[Illfavor]

Hey! Everyone else has sexy bitches for an av! But yeah, it actually is time for me to find a new pic. Can someone find me a decent pic to put up there? I suck at that stuff.

As for the match, I didn't exactly hand anything to you... the deck hit you in the face, the flop hit me in the face. That's the difference.

So are we on to the next round yet or has IOPQ not stepped in pig vomit yet?

[dranger7070]

I havent received any word from either of them as to the results of their match. As soon as I get that you guys will get the green light.

[Pig_Vomit]

lol got owned by iopq.

gg anyways.

gl to everyone.

Lol, it was a very close match, it went to a third game, I won it 2-1 after winning a coinflip for 200BB. I wouldn't say you were owned.

[dranger7070]

Everyone can start their second round matches today if you want, but it will officially start tomorrow. You have until Friday at midnight to finish! Good luck all!

Any updates? Play your games people

I am supposed to play iopq tomorrow morning at like 8AM eastern time.

[Carroters]

Micro said he is too scared to play me, but asked me to quote the following:

"Due to my fear and respect for Carroters' game, it is with great regret that I shall withdraw from the HU tourney. I feel that I will be pwned by this crazy lag pretty hard and this may have an effect on my general confidecne levels and the way that I live my life. I have a degree to get and stuff and if he destroys my ego I will consider myself a failure in maths and in my social life two.

I will ask Carroters to quote dis message on da forums so you all know. I am obv too ashamed to tell you guys myself cos I am a nitting machine. Good luk to all ov the ones that is left in here and can I get the password for zu cake freeroll as this is now all I will play gg."

im going to turn you into carrot soup

[lockpull]

I have been watching this one to see who the first person to realize this was a joke was going to be. Micro wins that one.

[amifat]

Ok, sil693 and me are playing our HU games now if you want to come watch, look ether of us up on stars.

[sil693]

amifat wins. gg sir.

[amifat]

[x] We both suck at HU
[x] I rivered flush in game 3
[x] I out donked sil693

The match went like this, Game 1 sil693 made a good river call against my air on a dangerous board.

Game 2, sil693 lost most of his chips from turn PSB, and i took down second game.

Game 3, sil693 got it in TPMK vs my 2nd Pair MK on the turn and i rivered my backdoor flush with sil693 short chiped it was just abit of shoving by both and eventually i took it down.

GG sil693 sir

pretty sure I won that one

After further review, you are correct. I revoke my earlier announcement of micro being the winner and instead place IOPQ as the king of sarcasm reading ability.

[Outlaw]

iopq on to the next round. GG man.

2-0 vs outlaw, will put the videos up later

That is like the most obvious joke post ever imo. Pretty sure everyone who posted about it knew that.

[Micro2Macro]

carroters is afraid to play me.

this isn't even a joke.

Looks like we're playing saturday or sunday?

[Carroters]

Well it's before midnight (US eastern time) and I'm drunk and just arrived home, but I'll show my loyalty to FTR by playing NOW!!!!!!!!

[Carroters]

And btw, if we meet in the semis, I shall ensure that you are completely pwned for this outburst.

[Micro2Macro]

Carroters when are we playing?

[dranger7070]

Yea you guys need to pick this up if you haven't played yet. Its not fair waiting on ONE match when everyone else found time to do theirs. For god sakes even iopq finished his .

[Carroters]

Yeah this all my fault fwiw. It was arranged for last night, but I had drinking obligations to a tend to. Basically an old friend was back in town after like 2 years. It's not fair on Micro or the rest I agree, but I'm going to be online all day both today and tomorrow so just msn me and we'll play whenever you're ready man.
