I once won a shorthanded SNG in 11 hands - I got great cards, played them hard, and took out each of the players one by one in the space of 5 minutes. It was brutal and beautiful :)
― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 12:37 (eighteen years ago) link
it's only beautiful when your great cards don't get knocked out by A 2 3 4 5 far out straight draw

I played one single hand on the final table (99 vs AQ) and bust out, but it didn't matter, as 4th through 10th all got the same prize :)

i'm getting kinda sick of pokerroom tho. does anyone know of any other mac-compatible sites?
― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Monday, 23 January 2006 00:39 (eighteen years ago) link
Also, Pacific supports Macs, and it's supposed to be full of fish. There are some fun turbo tourneys there too.
If you decide to go for either, then I'd be delighted to either refer you to Pacific for bonus fun, or set you up with my rakeback provider for Full Tilt (I think they offer a 27% rakeback scheme) - let me know if I can help!

i ended up 12th in a 320 people tourney! it was amazing. i was totally down and out with like 900 chips left and went all in under the gun. somehow held on to the money bits (40th) and then slowly worked all the way up to loitering around the top 3 spots for best part of 40 minutes! it was mental.. it was such a good feeling.
then stupidity struck.. first i couldn't resist holding onto a nut flush draw from the flop. THEN i was on small blind and the big blind dude was AWAY, previously this happend i forgot to RAISE and gave him to chips. this time i remembered to raise BUT I DIDN'T SEE THAT SOMEONE ELSE ALREADY RAISED and i lost all the cash lol.
i could have been in serious money tonight but still it was a nice 2 hour adventure! i dunno whether i can ever play as well as this again (up to the stupid bits)

first up: came fourth out of five, no real idea what I was doing tbh. went and read a little afterwards to prepare for...
second game: chip leader for about half the game after pulling off some big wins early. then I got a run of totally useless hands which chipped away at my pile (we were playing antes rather than small/big blind). key moment: folded while on A-2-4-5 with one to come because it was getting way too pricey for me. should've backed myself in because guess what came on the river! and they were bluffing too. was out within three hands.
third game: useless, had mind on other things so probably subconsciously threw it. lucky it's only ten bucks to play.

I can take a little comfort in the fact that he probably had a better two-card hand, but hell. I could've seen the flop for free and then folded. Or hell, it could've been something crazy like 3-4-6 or 2-5-2.
Dumb move. It was late.

You can't let yourself be results oriented, though. Unless you were getting 10:1 odds to call, you were well off out of the pot (and I'm sure you weren't if it was getting pricey). Your fold was good - you need to make sure you do the same next time, rather than remembering that the miracle card came last time and paying bad odds in order to see the river.
Guess what I saw on telly last night? A certain bearded lotherio winning $1.4m with rockets!

hey wher's my invite
― ken c (ken c), Friday, 3 February 2006 12:11 (eighteen years ago) link
If you want to join Party, you can also do it through raketherake though it's not rakeback as such, rather it's a sort of odd bonus thing that looks quite good. Or you can let me refer you, in which case I get $50.

So, who do you want to join? I can def recommend Interpoker - $100 bonus a month, a great freeroll tourney for new members (the one I won $200 in, above), and $, £ and € tables.
Ok Step 1 : Go http://www.raketherake.com/PokerInterpoker.html and follow the on screen instructions, basically you just need to click on their link which takes you to the interpoker site. This is important – you have to follow their link otherwise you will not be able to have rakeback added, so make sure you click the banner! There are no codes or anything to enter, it’s all automatic based on you clicking their banner.
Step 2 : Once you’ve set up your interpoker account and deposited some money (100% match up to $100 so deposit the full amount if you can), email newplayer@raketherake.com letting them know you have set up a new interpoker account from their link and give them your username and ask them to set up a new rakeback account. Tell them you want the rake paid directly in to your poker account. Don’t forget to say “I was referred by Mark Casarotto, RTR account number RTR04959”.
That's it!
