wow thats crazy, how did you get in that thru a satellite or what? how much was the buy in and what amount of players were in the field that you had to get past to make it to the final six ? ill tune. good luck.

Matt24 · Nov 19, 2005

No, I just paid the buyin, it was as $1500 event. Only 41 players showed up that day, I recognized most of the players though.

Hey Matt I"m watching on heads up right now. You have 2-1 chip lead. I hope you win!

Tough luck. Man that guy got some hands.

Yeah no doubt and I hated listening to Clonie Gowen, she is such a hack who sucks at tournament poker. She was saying I wasn't being aggressive even though I rrsed with 77, put the 3rd raise in on the flop with just a draw, went all in another time with a draw and raised another time with a draw. So dumb. Plus you got to see like 7 of the 60 hands that we played headsup. That A6dia vs KK hand was about the 30th hand we played, I ran over him up until then, raising almost everytime. Thats why I didnt reraise with A6s vs his KK preflop , he was so tight up until then that I didnt exactly love my A6s.

Yeah she was being highly critical of your play but I thought you were making some agressive moves. I think you had to push with the 9's and you just ran into a big hand.

how did you like the tournament overall?

Matt24 · Dec 6, 2005

I will be out there again for the Ultimate Poker Challenge next summer and maybe for anything else that the Plaza runs, they have the best structures. They give you tons of chips(3x your buyin), unlike WSOP and WPT preliminaries where you don't get many chips to work with.

I forgot to ask you...any chance of you making it to Tunica next month??? Huge schedule of events

Matt24 · Dec 6, 2005

it doesn't look like I will make it to Tunica, I'm sure rooms are already almost sold out and I don't want to commit this early. Still a chance though
