NYRPS Event #8

Tonight we will have our eighth NYRPS Event of the Series: Pot Limit HA (Hold 'em and Omaha Hi Mix Game)

Last Year, Loretta8 went on an epic run playing almost every single hand, and winning the tournament using the unique style. This year, there is now a Double Stack involved, so it may not be as easy as it was last year, but we shall see.

Buy-in is $11, Password is 'epicfail', the Tournament ID# is 67601655.

Be There!

I Cashed? + NYRPS Event #7

Yes, It's been a while, but I decided to play the $26 HORSE tournament last night. I played games with my family for the early part of the evening and had a Token to burn, so I decided to play the emptyman Special. On Friday I played the NumbBono Special, and Bubbled. It looked like I was gonna bubble again, but I chopped 3 all-in pots in a row in Omaha Hi-Lo (taking the hi each time) to withstand the bubble, I then was able to take some chips when I was dealt good hands in Razz, and had a decent shot to double up in Stud when this hand happened.

All folded to me after the bring-in, I completed with (22)3 2 diamonds. Next to act called with a 4 up. Bring-in Folded. Fourth gave me an offsuit 10, villain a 5. We got all our chips in and he had hit his 5 with (A5)45, I had (22)3T. Going to Seventh, He still only had the 5s and no draws, I had a flush draw. I hit 2 pair with a 6, but he hit 2 pair with a 7 and sent me home in 20th, for a cash of $44.

FTR, emptyman did finish 3rd in that event that he owns so hard. Good Job!

Tonight is Event #7 in the NYRPS, and it's Heads-Up No Limit Hold 'em. $11 buy-in, 32 player max, password is 'epicfail'. Find it at Tournament #67601559.

As of 11:30AM, 3 people are in, and the interest in this tournament is high, so get in before we get to 32!

Goals for 2009

This will be short and sweet, and I'll be making fun of myself come 2010... but whatev.

1. Win a 1000+ player MTT
2. Go on a Date (it's been 14 months... I need to get out more)
3. Win 2 Bloggerments (this includes my own of course)
4. Win a BBT4 Bloggerment (Loretta's run in the TOC inspired me to do this if there was a BBT4, and it looks like there will be)
5. Meet at least one blogger IRL. (Odds are more likely to be a New Yorker, but I may attend the Vegas Gathering, so we shall see)
6. Cash in a Live Tournament (This means playing in a Live Tournament, which when I go to AC, I'm not really inspired to do since I suck at 'em (only cashed once) and that I crush the 2/4 Limit games (so much so that i go above the 10% rake)) <~~~ wow that's a lot of parenthesis on this one
7. Win 2 Prop Bets (any prop bet... I was good at last longers with the CP guys last year)
8. Have 3K saved up in my bank account at any time (I'm really pushing myself for this one)

See this post in 2010.

One other Shout-Out for the end of year Mook Results... to DrewFours, for playing in the most Mooks without cashing... Yikes.

The Curse is Broken

The Pot Limit Omaha Dime Rebuy Tournament of the NYRPS brought 20 people. Those 20 people rebought a total of 1078 times! Each of them added on and with the 20 dimes already in the prize pool for the buy-in, that brought the total prize pool to $111.80. The top 3 would get paid money and points...

1. pvanharibo - $55.90
2. Loretta8 - $33.54
3. TheSlinger - $22.36

Congrats to LJ for winning her first NYRPS title in many many tries. Loretta scores his 2nd cash in only his 6th NYRPS tournament (counting NYRPS I), and Tournament regular TheSlinger cashes for the second time in the NYRPS II.
