Turbos are good for week nights where people likely have a nine to five the hexed day.

I got it. Those turbos are just too fast at the end.

I bubbled out again. Killer outs made by Addicted for the win!!! That lucky truck?

Addicted

yeah it was pretty quick and dirty at around 9:15pm with all ins etc...

MrCaspan

With a battle back and forth for final 3 the final players changed 1st place a few times... 3rd place was finally decided when @Addicted decided tripp 4s was not enough to beat coffanndnail80 so he decided go for 4, then the game was almost decided but a 2 outer hits the river to give @Addicted the win and slap @MrCaspan in the face for a great finish!

Addicted

yeah got lucky but riding the wave my friend..

Friday Night Poker with S&M will be streaming again this Friday (love that title) I'll be using YouTube as it seems to work better but there will be a 2 min delay so that we can talk about hands that players are in without influencing any decision if they are watching. So if you chat something just realize the delay is there. If anyone would like to do a cameo just let me know! Stream will go live about 7:15 just to make sure its all working right! Fridays night game is a Deep stack Freeze out as the rebuy turbo tournament we played last week was more of a game of bingo by the final table. I looked at doing a rebuy deep stack but the game could last till 3am and for a $75 prize pool I don't think anyone is playing till 3AM. Maybe if there is enough interest and enough notice we could do a $20 Deep stack rebuy, one of these Fridays that we would stream. if we go the same number of players ~16 that would be a decent prize pool and worth playing toll 3AM maybe? let me know what you think. For this Friday I think the Deep Stack Freezeout works better to ensure final three have ~150 BB spread between them to make it more interesting and strategic.

I had some luck early to make the money a couple of times and then I had a streak of $hitting the bed so I feel like tonight I'm due to make the money again! Looking forward to this each and every week. Thanks for organizing!

compuease

We have you figured out now... Unlike me, you bluff.

MrCaspan

We have a winner for Friday night Pokers with S&M
@DrTyore takes 3rd
@djgolfcan claims 2nd
@labeach2002 takes 1st

Thanks to everyone who joined the stream and gave us much needed feedback! Last hand was all in pre flop but by the Turn DJ was drawing dead!

I'd be game for a $20 toruney. Ideally at least ten peoples sign up... Maybe the odd Sunday or Saturday game could start up now that Jack-o-Frosty is back with another snowstorm?

Well forth place pays as much as tenth...

I would be interested in playing a $20 tourney once on a Friday as a "Christmas gift donation" for someone. Probably won't be a donation for me, given the way I've played the past few weeks :D

Ok a couple of things, I am fine with scheduling a $20 game on a Friday night or Saturday afternoon say Dec 18 or 19. Preference? We could even lengthen the blinds to 15 min if we do a Saturday afternoon game since that will add significantly to the length. The past 2 games have gone over 3 1/2 hrs with 18 and 16 players so if we got that many players we would likely run 5+ hrs with 15 min blinds.

Also should we schedule a PLO format game weekly again on a particular evening now that it's cold outside?

Whiner (Winner) take all - no chops or deals? Called Scrooged or Santa's Stocking Fund ?

That takes the poker out of it and turns it into an all in fest... Not happening. Not even the Merry Xmas Madness did that.

MrCaspan

I am good with an afternoon game on the 19th, $20 buy in freezeout, 15 min blinds. We can do a nice broadcast for that also. Any one else interested in that?

compuease

Maybe like a 5pm start? Think we definitely need 14 or more people.
