Poker Stars - Spring Championship Of Online Poker

SCOOP starts tomorrow at Poker Stars. I know a few other people were considering playing a few events, and our Super Swede suggested I put up a thread where we can all post our results and moan about any bad beats etc.

So let us know how you get on.

My campaign starts tomorrow with the $5+50 NLHE 6 max rebuy ( $50k GTD).

5th break?  Kinda losing track of time now.

Currently 845th from 2411 remaining. I have $106k which is about $10k above the average stack.
DangerMouse

Out 1238th for $60.91

This was the hand that did for me

Annoying way to go out but fairly happy with my performance. My tourney stats are below. As you can see I didn`t exactly play loose even though it was 6 handed.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 560 hands and saw flop:
- 29 out of 95 times while in big blind (30%)
- 21 out of 96 times while in small blind (21%)
- 45 out of 369 times in other positions (12%)
- a total of 95 out of 560 (16%)
Pots won at showdown - 14 of 26 (53%)
Pots won without showdown - 49

nice tourny there Neil, UL to run into that kind of hand, but still well placed.

Congrats DM. Sixty bucks not to be sniffed at. That sounds like a real marathon.

Thanks guys. Yeah a little over 6 1/2 hours play.

Happy enough with the $60 but I have to clear $200 before I see any profit because I`ve been staked for the series. After that I split any winnings 50/50.

Tough game and long.  Always good when you make the money. good luck in your next one

Thanks. Just finished the PL 5 Card Draw. Unlucky way to exit, was dealt A2345 and re-raised a very loose player. He called and took 2 cards. I bet and he re-raises me all-in. No way I could fold and it turned out he`d hit a boat.

Field was just over 4200 tonight. I was out in 613th for $12.87.
HOUSECATS

WOW ul on that hand. Were they dealing a lot of big hands like that? I know when we played on Doyle's 5 card draw the dealt a lot of monster hands
DangerMouse

I had the day off yesterday but resumed today. I was offered the chance to play the HORSE but had a terrible headache at the time it was starting. Decided to give it a miss and just play the $33 NLHE 2 Day Event.

Just over 20,000 started and I`m pleased to say I had another decent run playing a little over 6 hours and finishing 1371st for $97.70.

That makes it 3 played  for 3 cashes.

well done Neil, keep it going, MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

good job, DM
Ramster

well done Neil
Do i sense a deep finish here somewhere

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
MrBadBeat

Great stuff, DM - or should I say Marathon Man. How do you keep concentrating for so long? Six hours is quite a slog. You must have the football on TV at the same time and a few cans of beer on the go to keep it bearable...

Thanks guys

I don`t find the long games a problem. Patience has always been a strong point for me and with the huge fields involved I play pretty much ABC poker.

I have music on while I play and there`s a group of us (Mostly team mates from when I played a league - Jazzer, Zackelwahn, Cocaine and a couple of others) playing these games so we chat on msn while we`re playing. There`s much MOOOOOing to be had
DangerMouse

It was 2-7 Triple Draw tonight and I got off to a pretty nice start. Wasn`t really "feeling it" though and combined with a run of terrible cards I went out a disappointing 731st from 1801.

So my cash streak has ended but I`m hopeful for tomorrow`s 7 Stud8b.
Miklosik

Unfortunate, DM.  But good to know the MightyMouse is human.
