one-outer on final table of fulltilt WPT/WSOP(C) winner's choice tourney...

[Talking Poker]

Did you take into account that one of the remaining queens was gone? I was considering that with my estimate...

[ChipFish]

Did not......

So when did the money go in?

[Talking Poker]

We have to assume preflop, or there would really be nothing to complain about. And given the stack sizes of the two players in the hand, I don't see how it wouldn't have gone all in preflop given their hole cards.

That does suck, I thought u only played real small buy-ins BDM ?

i qualified thru a $6 sat.

fulltilt has a great 2-tier, *non-rebuy-non-turbo*, sat structure for big events (WPT/WSOP/big guaranteed)...$4/$6-->$26-->$216 (WPT/WSOP qualifier or the weekly/monthly 'big' cash guaranteed)
thats REAL tourney NLHE poker, not turbo/rebuy slots bullcrap.

im just kicking myself for having wasted my last (first in poker) year on stars et al...i should have been playing on fulltilt right from the get-go.

well, this is just funny...

on tonite's winner's choice final table, the very same guy who sucked out one me with the case Q on tuesday's WC final table, was now in the short stack again and pushed with KK...

the big stack to the left calls him with QQ and flops trip ladies.

poker works in mysterious ways.

yeah, sorry, i was again, a tad dazed last night, and didnt explain the hand.

this took place just after we reached final table. we did go allin preflop. the gent in question and i at that point were both at cca 15k in chips, with an M of cca 5-6 or so, in 6th and 7th place at the time. he raised cca 3xBB, and i just reraised him allin on the spot, everyone else getting out of the way.

pockets get turned up, one other person on the table says: "oh, i folded a Q".

then the flop hits, and i feel like in one of those cliched movie scenes when everything slows down around u before, or right after, a big explosion.

i know, strictly technically speaking it may not be a one-outer as there would have been a chance of a freak straight or flush on the board. in fact, id much rather have seen that, to tell u the truth.

anywho, now that ive slept on it, all i can say is, c'est la vie, ill be back in the WC as early as this saturday.

btw, been playing on FTP now for almost a month since transferring over from stars, and im loving it. IMHO much more serious tourney NLHE poker at all levels, esp my favorite cheap WPT/WSOP entry sats. this was in fact my third WC (didnt do bad first two times, cca in top 20%). overall, i can now continue to learn and improve my game after escaping all that useless rebuy roulette nonsense on stars.
