Skillz Game Results - Limit Stud & Satellite Win

A nice turnout of 10 people last night, which kept us at two short handed tables for over an hour. The final results are here:



No major changes on the 2009 Leaderboard, as none of the Top 5 cashed, but Muhctim won his 2nd tournament of the year.

Next week it is Pot Limit Omaha 8 or Better.

While waiting for the Skillz Game to start, I decided to play a $4 Rebuy for a Seat for FTSOP $100 Omaha Hi Rebuy event. I only had 1 rebuy plus the Add-on, giving me at $12.40 investment. With 22 players playing we actually managed to get enough in rebuys to have 2 seat available, plus $39 for 3rd, $22 for 4th, and $14 for 5th. I easily had the final table, and realzied that the cash would be a much better goal to shoot for, as there were two players at 30,000 chips each, and the rest of us were below 10. Some well timed plays got me to the cash, where I just pushed both the 5th and 4th place finshers out, giving me about 11,000 in chips. The other two then had 38,000 and 31,000 each. I got hyper aggressive with nothing, and semi aggressive when I had a hand, and actually managed to move us to around 22,000. Thinking I had a shot at actually knocking one of the guys out when I witnessed one of the weirdest plays I had ever seen. The two chip leaders went head to head on a hand which led them to get it all in after the flop, with neither of them having more than a pair and draws. The chip leader actually won the hand, and I got my $100 seat, which I cashed out of, thus more than doubling my Full Tilt bankroll.

Skillz Game Results - Limit Hold'em

Nice turnout of 12 people last night, with well over an hour before we lost any players. I ran into some questionable plays (by myself) once I started getting tired after watching the WSOP on ESPN last night, and went out ninth.

Here are the results from Tuesday's tournament:


NumbBono's 2nd place finish helped move him a little further out front of the pack in the 2009 Leaderboard, and PushMonkey72 picked up his 3rd win of the year.

2009 Money Leaderboard:


Next Tuesday is 7 Card Stud Hi. Which pretty much means a donation from me.

Hope to see you all there!

Skillz Game Results Limit HORSE

7 Players came out last night, and several players had tried to talk Waffles into playing, but it didnt happen. No changes at the top of the 2009 leaderboard, but a lot of fun, and some discussion of other games to be brought into the rotation. I am going to attempt to add a 7-Game (HORSE + 2-7 Triple Draw + ??), and may try a Holiday timed $1 Pot Limit High Omaha Rebuy in December.

Last nights Results:


2009 Leaderboard:


Will have next weeks game posted soon, need to check to see if any games are left, or if I need to email and add the new selections!

Skillz Game Results - Pot Limit Omaha

A very nice 14 players came out on Tuesday night for the Skillz Game, except only 13 of them played. While I had signed up on Monday, I was sick Monday until Wednesday, and I never logged in to play. Which may have been the best move I have made in Poker in a month, as I finished 6th of 14 having never played a hand!

Thank you to all of you who turned out, and for your patience in getting the blog updated.

Here are the results of the Pot Limit Omaha tournament Tuesday:




Here is the Year to Date Money Leaderboard:



Next week is Limit HORSE. I will be there, just push on me in Razz and you should have me out fairly quickly.

Have a great weekend everyone!
