e-sports league - CVG Poker Champions

[SilentJay]

Thanks for the explanation, V. I guess that would be very frustrating indeed. Wish you would've said what happened earlier. Would've saved me all of this. The way you wrote it made it sound like you just couldn't be bothered with all the sitouts.

But perhaps just grin and bear it, let him have the little blinds every hand, wait for those Aces or Kings, and then double up through him. Or even if he then folds - you basically just need to win one single hand to beat all the sitouts and get a good result. As GaF said, it has nothing to do with poker anymore. But as annoying as it may be, it's the key to success in this league. Half the teams consist of nothing but sitouts. We really don't wanna be giving them our points.

But enough of that. Bring on Sunday, and (in the words of Al Bundy) let's rock! Good luck everbody!

PS: It wasn't connection problems as such. My whole computer kept freezing, and when I restart, the network connection is always gone, and I have to restart again to get it back. And two restarts is an absolute eternity when someone's stealing your chips at a rate of 800 per hand, or whatever it was, every couple of seconds. I don't blame him, of course. But it's pretty bitter. Haven't had any more problems with PokerRoom, so I don't know what was going on. The only software that keeps making trouble is usually Pacific Poker, since their update.

Over the season, this player will do far more poorly for his team than the others (I do hope you're not referring to me ) - IIRC when I was on your table, I was playing too aggressively/badly and that was the week I bust out for no points

[goater14]

Am I barking up the wrong tree but I was under the assumption that we are not playing for money this season, that we are just trying to get get promoted where then the prize money starts? Or am I completely wrong again.

[GotaFancy?]

You're completely wrong We're playing for about $16,000 in prize money, and a spot in the Champions League (with even more prize money)

just play your normal game mate,you`ll be fine
there is no reason at all why the good start we have had cant continue,,we actually have an advantage in my opinion in the fact we dont have to keep chopping and changing the team around too much

Hi guys,

Just to let you know I am going into hospital next Friday (4th Apr) for about 5 days, so will not be available for next Sunday.

Thanks SJ. The illness I have won't kill me, but the hospital food might...

[SilentJay]

Well, perhaps Kippe thought that this was some sort of democracy or something. (Silly boy.) And as voting currently stands at 5:0 for sharing, I guess he figured that's that.

[teaulc]

i don`t think Valiant will mind at all especially as he was the one who missed out anyway

okay all agreed then,all i have to say is let finish in places 1 - 5

[GotaFancy?]

Mr V - I deserve all the stick you can muster to throw at me

I had 4 or 5 Sitouts after me - but Hodgey was raising every hand and I just couldnt back off I dont think his strategy was good (He went all in very early with AQ v KK and got lucky), but mine was worse .....

[goater14]

sorry guys out in 8th, only beat the sit-outs. Was getting called and re raised a lot of the time on the opening table so getting short stacked couldn't risk trying to steal, sorry guys.
