TP Admin v. Aequitas58 - Part II

You guys could play a HU s/g, I don't believe they have HU playmoney tables (could be wrong).

Or, you could just go to a NL penny table, both start with like, say, 3 bucks and the winner wins. Only downside to this the rake will eat up the stacks if it's long. But it is only pennies...

Or... you could each contact PS and ask them to create a special match for you. I have heard them do this for players who wanted to play a 25k HU match, why not for you guys? *grin*

Cheers,

Gutzz

someone else suggesed, and i think it would work great to play on pokerroom. 1500 starting chip stacks are nice. do you both have accts. there? I am pretty sure TP does, and Aeq. doesnt but it could work if Stars wont work.
Also, if you cant setup private tournaments on stars, how would we set up a TP.com only tournament that has been kicked around here? Maybe we should think about pokerroom for that as well?
whadayathink??

From what I hear, PokerRoom is probably the best bet. BUT, I don't have an account there. I plan on opening an account there soon, but I want to work up my bankroll a little more more so I can maximize the deposit bonus. Always need to take full advantage of that.

I'm sure TP will find this understandable.

My schedule is really flexible... day, night, whatever. 10:15 next Thursday night is NOT good for me though, as that's the BIG NL cash game I play in, and I'd rather not miss that. Could we do it earlier? Like around 7 or so?

As for the buy-ins, are we just considering that added money (makes your EV better!) or are we factoring that into what we are playing for? Me - I vote that it's just added money.

Aequitas58 · #5 12-03-04, 06:15 PM

Actually, since we are "both" adding the buy-ins, it wouldn't positively or negatively effect my EV.

I have $2.99 on PStars right now. LOL. In the meantime, I will try to build this up to $5.25, and we just make the buy-in added money. If, though, I can't build it up, or I lose or whatever, we'll need to do a $5.25 transfer, and it'll just be a part of what we're playing for. If you win, you get your money back (minus $.25). If I win, I'd win $10 total, and then you'd only owe $40 more.

Talking Poker · #6 12-03-04, 06:21 PM

Sure it would. Let's look at an extreme example. Say we were each adding $1000. Then we'd be taking the $30 I owe you and playing for $1000 if I win or $1050 if you win. surely you agree that's a better EV for you than $0 or $50 (on your $30).

My local game for tonight was just cancelled. Any chance you want to get the show on the road and play tonight? If so, just name the time and I'll make it happen. Later would probably be better, as far as railbirds are concerned. Maybe a 10:00 or 11:00 start time?

Surely you can get $2 into your account by then, one way or another. If not, I'll spot you.

Aequitas58 · #7 12-03-04, 06:24 PM

Tonight doesn't seem like a good night. I haven't seen my girlfriend in a few days, and we're going out later on. If we don't, then maybe it'll happen. We both have AIM, so it would be easy to pop on, but to give the railbirds notice might pose a problem.

It's probably better to put it off.

Besides, shouldn't you brush up on your NL heads up play?

Aequitas58 · #8 12-04-04, 01:37 AM

LOL - grinding away at 1c-2c. I started w/ $2.99, got it up to $4.05. Big pre-flop raise w/ QQ. Call. 593 flop. Big bet, Call. J turn. I go all-in ... putting a good read on the guy w/ overcards. He calls... AQ... catches his ace on the river.

So, I'll need you to transfer me $5.25 prior to our matchup.

Aequitas58 · #9 12-03-04, 06:17 PM

Sorry - forgot to address your concern for Thursday night. 7pm EST time sounds fine to me. How long do you foresee the match going? 1/2 hr - probably less?

I have a feeling you're gonna be a douche bag - trying to put a move on me when I have the nuts, you lose everything, and just say that I got lucky.

Hah.

Talking Poker · #10 12-03-04, 06:22 PM

LOL... I would like it if it went on for a while, but I can't imagine it will even last a half hour... probably 10-15 minutes, max. Depends how crazy you play and how willing you are to throw all your chips into the middle. With low blinds, there's no reason to hurry, so I plan to just wait and then smack you around when I have the nuts. Ooops - I'm giving away my strategy!!!

Aequitas58 · #11 12-03-04, 06:26 PM

Yea right - don't give away too much, killer.

Hmmm... 56 suited? Raise.

Shit, now I'm giving away MY strategy.

If you sign up through my links, then yes, I will

One thing to consider though, PR offers reload bonuses regularly... so even if you don't get the max first time deposit money ($100), at least you'll have an account there and can get any reload bonuses that are offered between now and wheneven you were planning on making your first deposit.
