Very Proud performance Matt! i believe thats the best tourny on the net...my problem is getting in it!..lol

"I lost AKs vs TT" ....all the posts ive made here and you risk your whole tourny on AK.....That hand is the WORST possible hand u can have at Poker Stars!!! 28% is my win percentage with it there and thats up from 23% a few months ago....stay away from that hand....lol

i dont know if you'd even want to do this but justin posted his hand history of a win he had in the super monday tourny 1 time...learned alot from it. i noticed you said you stayed in the game by stealing blinds and that is the weakest part of my game.....would you consider posting a few of those hands at least and maybe the entire history on your site??? certaily understand if you dont want your methods to get out but consider it if you will.....

again congrats!!! :toast:

I will work on that today

The AQo hand: My experience is limited but I am absolutely sure that I have gone out with that hand a lot more than I have won with it. It might be an okay hand to push with, but I think you were right not to call with it.

By the way, Pokerstars should ban observer chat. The P5'ers seem to do a lot of slobbering over each other. It gets old really quickly.

heads up in the $5k guaranteed $50rebuy on Empire. I have the chiplead, only $1600 to win though

 

[Matt24]

Unreal Matt. Congrats. How many were entered in that one? Also, how does Empire competition stack up against places like FT, PP, PS, etc.? Thanks....

 

[Matt24]

Thats the first time I've played that tourney since the summer, only 50 players. Most don't rebuy unless they get knocked out, and some don't add on. There were only 35 rebuys and 19 add ons. I like Empire tourneys because they have 20 minute levels, so its not an all in fest all the time. Empire is getting tougher, there are about 4 or 5 guys that I know and we always seem to be around late at least in the $100 Happy Hour. I would say the players are pretty similar for the buyin amount.

Matt - I see they have a referral program and I'm going to sign up with them. If you want the free $, let me know your username and I'll say you referred me. (which you did)

 

[Matt24]

well you could actually go to my site and sign up through that if you wanted to get rakeback

 

[Notebook]

I actually was checking that out and all I see is 20% bonus up to $100. Same thing that other referral sites have. I don't see anything about rakeback with empire.

 

[Matt24]

its just not openly stated, once you sign up, i get an email and then I tell them to set you up. It would be 20%

 

[Notebook]

gotcha....thanks.
Appreciate the info but I'm almost strictly a tourney player; probably 95%.

 

[Matt24]

well you still get rakeback on the tourney fees

 

[Notebook]

oh, okay then...i'll sign up...thought it was ring only...thanks for the info

 

[Matt24]

Empire Happy Hour $10k Guaranteed. I'm at the final table in 8th chip position, but its pretty tight.

notebook-The guy sent me a message, you still needed to complete step 3 though.

 

[Matt24]

out 6th-$700

 

[QuickLearner]

Tough table. Sixth was a good finish; it was nice to see those two others go out in the few hands before you. What did you have on your final hand?

Hey Matt - congrats on another final table.

Step 3 says to enter my empire screen name but the previous step told me not to set up an account yet so I don't have a screen name. Should I just go ahead and set up the account myself?
