GTA Poker

I heard he was assembling the boxes in which couches are moved whilst living with his parents awaiting testicular descent

he got the pot head part right

Milo

He is sort of behaving over at P-5s . . . wonder if this will change things?

A satellite is about to get started, but I'm not sure if there will be another one tonight so I think I'll wait until tomorrow and book a hotel until Sunday.

Which "level" are the ones that are being run the most?

my friend was there the other night and said there were only two 2/5 tables running. There were six tables running Tuesday by 2pm at Woodbine.

What about getting 10 players together to play a $220 satellite at Woodbine and top two get $1.1k seats to Fallsview? just have to start before noon. Saves a long drive to Niagara.

Why not 100k?

BlondeFish

That's a good idea. Go ahead and organize the 10-player satellite, but there will probably be at least one or more randoms from Woodbine that aren't intrested in a WPT seat, so the default 70/30 prize structure may have to be used.

Let the frenzy begin! How many players you know with multiple seats? I expect they will now start showing up on Kijiji at a large mark-up. This is a lot earlier sell out than previous years. So much for the Woodbine satellite idea.

Don't expect many will remain on the day of the tournament.

Wonder how many of those satellites that ran didn't get their seats for their winning satellite players.

Will the winning players of those satellites be happy being an Alternate if they end up with that instead???

Only in Ontario where we have to worry about sold out tournaments and paying scalper prices to play. Only good thing about scalpers vs high rake is the poker players keep the money and not the house.

BlondeFish

Your Woodbine idea can still work as the $540+$20 SNG I played there has a prize pool of $5,400, enough for one or two $2,500 WPT entries. Many of the Woodbine SNG regs are now at Fallsview and we're all hoping that Woodbine will learn and extend the deadline past noon after WPT Fallsview.

If I had an extra seat to the $1.1k, I wouldn't charge a fellow poker player I know a premium to buy the seat from me. Karma is a bitch Buddy :) Likely starting a new job in a couple weeks so no FPC for me this year :(

Are you selling them at a premium or face value?

I know a guy looking for a ticket.

PM me if you want to sell one.

The irony is that if you're against a fellow poker player and you have the nuts on the river, would you just check instead of betting so you would make less money from them? I know it's different cause one is a game and the other is real life, but if everyone is willing to pay $1300 for one, why not sell it for that price?

BlondeFish

At least take a shot at the $275 and $550 super satellites on February 19 and 21. Then we go for a celebratory dinner at Ruth's Chris or other steak house and invite the Royal Flush Girls or Christine! :D

Wayne Gretzky: Take the shot, pokerJAH, take the f***ing shot!
