BCC Satellites

Voodoo

Best day to play as far as seat prizes is definitely Thursdays in my opinion. I have been up there a few times and Thursday was by far the busiest for the 10am Satellite. 42 players this past Thursday and there were 4 - $1500 seats and 1 - $1000 seat and 6th place was $200.

Play was fast and furious early on with multiple rebuys at every table 1 and 2 hands in but play for the most part settled down later on. I busted out just short of the final table after flopping a set and trying to price out a guy I knew was on a flush draw but he chased and caught it.

Heading up again next week if anyone plans on going let me know, wouldn't mind meeting fellow members.

I agree, at least as far as this past Thursday was concerned.

I was also there, but could never get anything going. Only saw a high pocket pair once, and that was on my bust-out hand, where my pocket kings were called by 3 others. An Ace hit the flop, and I knew I was done.

Funny thing was, as card dead as I was for the tourney, the potential quadruple-up might have given me a faint ray of hope. But, it was not to be.

That's ok, since I almost immediately sat down at a brand new 20/40 table, and took down just over 2,000.00 in about 4 hours work. Kinda took my mind off not getting a seat at the satellite. :-)

Thanks for the information. Do they start right at 10 AM, and are latecomers allowed to join in? Has anybody gone on a Tuesday and know how many players there were?

While I will be playing at a home game satellite this Friday for the $500 tournament, I will probably go to BCC this week to play in this super-satellite.

They do start at 10:00 a.m., and no, you can't join in after the start. If there are seats available, they make a "final announcement" over the PA about 10 minutes before the start.

Best of luck!

BF.. Tuesdays usually have around 30 players max but that could get higher the closer the tournaments approach. The only way into the $1000 event is now through satellites as players can no longer buy straight into that event. That is what they announced last week.

All being well, I'll probably give this Friday morning's mult-table a shot.

Will probably wear my Sabres jersey (just got it, one of the third jerseys, Jason Pominville).

Oh, and I'll be at BCC tonight, playing, most likely, 20/40.

Made the final table of Friday's multi ...

36 started, and I finished 8th.

Close but no cigar ... will have to try again in a week or two.

When my friend went last Tuesday, there were around 30 players and he went out around 12th. I plan to play the multi-table sattellite either this Wednesday or Sunday.

RAM_Eh

Can anyone give me info for the Thursday tournament?

Time, entry..... time levels? etc.

Thanks,

Rob.

DM... I just PM'd you all the info.

Might head up there tomorrow as well depending on how much I play tonight, there is a Pokerstars Bahama satellite at a poker club in Toronto that I am playing.

How was the Bahamas satellite tournament? I was planning to play until something came up and it was too late to make it for the starting time.

I have unsuccesffuly tried to play in the BCC multi-table satellites a couple of times, but I will try again this week. Last time I went there on a weekend morning, the satellite sold out early.

It started a little late due to them running sub satellites past the 8pm start time but once things got under way it was well run. I was card dead most of the night but survived on resteals for the most part and busted out 13th. I heard that there was a 5 way chop for around 5K each.
