Oh the shame of it. Did not qualify, because I'm too undisciplined to just fold my way in. Worse, my wife is in to the semis. Please, no one tell Kristy. I'll never live it down.
Nah...I would think that every forumer here should be used to being worse than a girl.
I am in both finals, only thing that stood out was the one semi finals that had 6500 or so for 1000 spots I was at a table with 1 other live person and 7 sitting outs.
I offered to take turns on blinds he agreed so he took 3 then it was my turn to take 3 so I min raised and he min reraised. OK, whatever, time to play I guess which was fine since I did not generally care that much and he was basically a min bet/raise guy.
Soon, after on a flop of 7 9 10, my J8o had fun with his A 10 once I introduced him to the concept of non min betting. He whined on the rail for a while as I was now there with 8 sitting out people :P
I actually stumbled on these by accident, but figured why not. Seems like a lot of people here will be in the finals anyways, so hopefully someone here will win one of them.

That just depressed me. I really really hate people.
Hmmmmpf.
round 1 for the D. Neg freeroll
is a bit of a joke. I folded my way
to a seat, literally. I aside from
calling 1 small blind, i didnt play
a single hand outside a free look
from the bb... and i made it in.
me too, i just sat there folded. I was suprised at the amount of aggressive raising going on.
Just sqeezed my way into the freeroll final. Was dealt AA on a short stack (less than 3x unopened pot) when semi was down to 1010 players and of course folded it lickity split. Needless to say I would have flopped top set to someone else's second set of Js. Why does it seem those beauty set-ups only happen when it doesn't matter. :rolleyes: Anyway, good luck to me and any other members who are playing tomorrow.
My first post on this site BTW ... so hi all. Just came across it two days ago. Seems like a very good resource.

Hey Lanterne...
Welcome to the site and good luck in the final! That'll be a sweet package to win.
Thanks Graham. Well... luck wasn't so bad. I did manage to finish inside the top 600 (about 290th) for the $50, but I guess I won't be meeting Daniel anytime soon. My luck on Stars has just been brutal for about 8 straight weeks now, so maybe things are changing (although I was about 76% on the knock out hand, so...). Anyone else here nab a prize out of this one?
I generally don't play many freerolls, but I do have a Stars freeroll horror story to tell from about two years. Finished top 50 of 3,300 in a qualifier followed by 27th out of 3,600+ in the final (13-14 hours of playing time in total) and got absolutely jack squat while the top 12 all received full WSOP Main Event packages and the next 10 got WSOP circuit event entries ... so this was still a much, much, much better result.

She might want to borrow Insane Guy's strap-on, though.
