sweeeet, Hobbes was cheering for us, terrible day for us all
SteveKerr.
By the by, who tells AJ we're changing the name?
Nice job cap'n'n Wetts. You already had the winning big part down pat, now the leading a pack to a big win part too!
Why were you not there? Would have been nice to meet you and the girlyfriend also:)
PLO Omaha
Limit Holdem
NL Holdem
and HU
I finally ran good
Thanks to all that made this event run smoothly.
Yeh but it was ONLY 6 man tables.... Now you have to do it at a royal with 10 teams... lol..
Just kidding Steve, that was an outstanding performance, you carried your team on your back... AJ may never get his captaincy back, in fact he may not even make the team next time......
The Rocks came close to making it a 3 peat and if DrTyore's 5's had held up against Wetts' AK in the last match of the day they would have been about even and there would have been a good chance that we would have ended up tied for 1st, meaning we would keep title since the defending champ has to be beaten to lose the title... lol, but that didn't happen and Ching are the new Royal champs and deservedly so... Congrats to your entire team Wetts, your final HU victory sealed the deal.
Gotta thank DataMn for his excellent co-ordination of the event. It ran very smooth and we recovered quite nicely from the extra long Omaha/Stud round.
Kudos as well to the Rocks own g2 for redo'ing the scoring spreadsheet and posting them live online round by round. Thankyou as well to JohnnieH and Dr Tyore for doing the side bet stuff, very smooth... Thank you also to all the captains for getting your teams there, all 8 players and pretty well on time. I know a couple of the teams certainly had some last minute panic attacks with late cancellations... It's not easy is it guys?
Until Al gets the "official stats" posted I believe it was as below.
Ching - 252
Milton Rocks - 242
Fish -214
HBK - 212
Top Set - 201
KitWho - 151
With Steve Kerr as MVP..
Of note was the Fish's rise from the dead with only 28 points in round 1 to come all the way back to 3rd, big comeback there. I was also very pleased with my own teams NL round where we hauled in 80 points to put us right back in contention..
In short another real successful Royal, at one point during the heads up round it was possibly that 3 teams could have been tied for 1st at the finish and would that have been something. It was real evenly matched and almost anyone could have won this.. Now we need to get back to 8-10 teams and see where we go from there...
See you all at Royal IX in the fall!
As far as reclaiming my captaincy...why mess with a good thing? Just hope I make the team cut next time.
Thanks to Compuease, g2, Drtyore and Beanie for the rest of the work you did to make the RC run. It truly felt like a community event.
It was great to meet some RC virgins like PhiliIvey and Sharantyr. Glad you could make it out.
Congrats to Ching Hill, Milton and the Fish for a well played day of poker.
See you at the next one!
wtf? I'm not there at the god dam team falls apart.
Still think I would much prefer THAT than not being there and your team WINNING IT ALL! :baffled:
Ching - 252
Milton Rocks - 242
Fish -214
HBK - 212
Top Set - 201
KitWho - 151
Congrats to Ching Hll, the Milton Rocks, and the Fish for their great performances!
I would like to thank everyone that did help on the day....
g2 for doing all of the scoring spreadsheets.
Beanie, DrTyore and JohnnieH for handling the side bets.
compuease for bringing his laptops for blind levels, and for being a voice of support during the day
Milo and all of the others above for coming and helping to set up early in the morning
Moose for coordinating the purchase of the Party Poker decks for the event, and anyone that contributed to that cause.
Sandro for the concept of the Royal Cup. Any improvements that people stated yesterday were only because I was building on an already fantastic event that he created and nurtured. I wish you were there yesterday buddy.
Sharyntar and Acid Joe for the after-RC beers. It was great talking with both of you.
and last, but not least, to all of the players for being well behaved and friendly. The RC is designed to be friendly competition, and I think that shined through yesterday. I don't think I heard one cross word all day, other than Wolffhound cursing me out for my dreadful performance! ;-)
I, like compuease, am stating now that we will try our best to ensure that we will be running another Royal Cup in the fall, with more teams involved. With a little bit more notice and a little bit less drama, hopefully we can be back up to a full contingent of 9 or 10 teams.
Lastly, for those that have read this far, I am always open to constructive suggestions. What worked and what didn't work in your mind? PM me, and I will take each suggestion under advisement, consulting with some of the above people if I need a second opinion, and if needed will provide a response of yes or no with a reason better than "because I said so". Now, when the event is still fresh in our minds, is the best time to think about these things so that they don't become and issue 2 days before the next Royal Cup when someone remembers something they didn't like.
Thanks to everyone again,
Al
Umm, Al, can we start a little later next time?
lol, just kidding buddy, it went off pretty well perfect, I know you had some concerns on the timing, but recovered real nicely with some small modifications.
Summary, great job Al and everyone else, let's get in on for RC IX, Wetts and AJ... We're coming for you! Feel the Rock pressure yet?
But then they wouldn't have won....... Hey wait a minute, that means the Rocks would have won!
On 2nd thought, yeh Philli why didn't you play for Ching?
Had to do the right thing, wolffhound asked me first:)
LIke I said, wetts, crazykoby, Steve Kerr on the same team was very tempting to be part of that;)
Grats to Milton and the Fish on second and third and grats to Steve on his amazing play! I thought I was good for MVP with 3 1st and a 2nd @ 51 points but he was unstoppable
Thanks to DataMn for running it, went very smoothly and was well organized.
Any rookies in the top half? Just curious . . .
