  • Congrats on the wins...what site do you play on, Tigerscott?

  • One First place finish with 23 players, technically a "chop" since we both had about 19000 in chips and the blinds were only 200-400, $230 pay-out though.

    Tonnes of SNG's and friends though.... still looking for that elusive Bristol St. Win.

  • No 1st's other then sng's on-line as of yet, best is a bunch of 2nd's on Stars in the 45 player MTT's.....but 2 wins in a row at the coveted WPP venue and current money leader is enough to keep my head nicely swelled for now!

    Ahh... well, I just discovered the WPP, and next time, I won't drink NEARLY as much rum. :) And if I can stay away from Wraychel, I'll be fine! :)

  • It's mandatory to down a shot of rum every time you raise 250!

    :)
  • I play on alot of sites:

    Poker Stars
    Empire
    Party
    UB
    Prima
    Supreme Poker

    If satelites counted which they don't here I'd be closer to 10 wins..

    top 10's in MTT I must be around 15-20

  • 4 first place finishes and one of those was last night. Countless top 4 finishes though. I lova thems tounaments. :D
  • I don't play a lot of MTT's but I've only won one 1.5 years ago on Royal Vegas. It was a freeroll with 500 entrants and I got something like $80 for the win.
  • 250 more player:
    $1200 on Paradise
    $950 on PS
    $2200 on PS
    $250 on Jet Set Poker

    and probably 3-4 tourneys with 100 ish player for $100 scores around.
  • 0 wins...0 final tables...playing 6 months.

    around 10 money finishes...1 bubble to FT...damn...but getting closer...an expensive poker education though.

    Very impressive MAN!!
    Would u mind providing more details about the sahara tourney? Buying, rebuys, structure, competition (weak, average etc). Was this the midnight tourney or during the day?
    ANy info appreciated.

    Did you play anyo other tourneys at other casinos...any comments? I'm going next month and am planning a whirlwind tourney tour - 4 or 5 tourneys in 4 or 5 different rooms...but given the plethora of choices i don't want to play any that aren't worth my while (i.e. poor structure all-in bingo fests, shitty management, poor atmosphere, etc).

    Thanks,
    NH
  • ^
    thanks, and the tourny was a great experience...
    it was a $40 buyin, with 1 $20 rebuy allowed... the blinds went up pretty slowly, and the competition was pretty weak (great combo)...
    there were a few great players, but i picked up some great hands to bust them
    this tournament was the 7pm one... but sahara had them running at 11am and 11pm as well (the 11pm at 7pm overlapped)

    once you get into town, i suggest you pick up a copy of cardplayer(casino edition), which was available in most every card room in vegas i visited -- at the back was a complete list of every regularly sheduled tourny going on in vegas
    that should help you find your game

    that was the ONLY tourny i played in, and spent most of my time crushing the $4/8 game @ MGM (the nicest cardroom i played in-- great service and atmostphere... just not much selection of games) if you check it out... watch out for a couple tough regulars, but most are loose passive fish or maniacs
  • Hey Thanks a lot for the response and the info Main.

    It is much appreciated. I will definitely be playing one of the tourneys at the Sahara.

    Leave for LV one month today!! I'll let u know how I make out.
  • :D

    one first place finish

    $14,500 in a 100 rebuy and add-on tourney
  • 1 win UB 5 dollar plus .50 turbo mtt cashed for 350 or so.
  • nice mukster. I see you playing a lot of the same tourneys as me on stars some times, you seem to do well.
  • thanks SirWatt, always on stars, having a little bit of luck but i haven't had sucess in any of the big ones yet. :'( Hopefully the WCOOP will change that.

    What's you handle on stars??? that way we can cheer each other on.
  • I'm SirWatts on there as well
  • what is the WPP ???
  • Leave for LV one month today!! I'll let u know how I make out.

    Right on, good luck NH.  Check out the Palms for great MTT's... at least they had great MTT's during the WSOP, not sure if they're still going.  Mirage and Bellagio for sure, though.
  • ...2 1st place wins @ Royalvegas totalling $900....numerous sng wins.
    ...1 b&m $7500...however my $500 entry was paid by someone else so we split the cash.

    I plan on playing at the Bellagio 2pm tournament on Tuesday Sept 13th @ 2pm. $500+$40. This is my 1st trip to Vegas. I can't wait.
    I'm staying at the Luxor, has anyone played in any of their tournaments?
