tomorrow i will be registering about 1 hour or less prior to my tournament, going to the Chiropractor. Ill definitely be back in time. Just giving everyone a heads up so there is no worries.

**funnyb25** · 12-03-20, 10:10 PM

I am just a sports guy who plays poker cuz the site offers it. I have no clue what I am doing. It is sad that that I qualify for most post qualification tournaments too. (not even referring to this one) Lol

**johnny liu** · 12-03-20, 10:38 PM

Sorry guys. Gambled to try to take at least 2nd and knock out dlow. Had him preflop, but of course flopped him a straight

**eddycash** · 12-03-20, 11:04 PM

no worries just trying to give some tips for thought

Make them pay to play. The limp/trap strategy with huge hands should only be used against super aggro preflop opponents. Not many of those are on this site.

Ya I'll limp with some speculative stuff if everyone is in position, or sb vs bb if they usually don't raise me for the special.

90% of the time I'm raising though.

Understand that the value of hands goes up immensely from 10 handed to 6 handed to 4 handed etc.

In the end though, play your style that got you here. We're down to the nitty gritty now.

I fuking suck at heads up

**funnyb25** · 12-03-20, 11:58 PM

Good night West

**eddycash** · 12-04-20, 12:01 AM

Nice try funny, if your opponent was down to 4 blinds like Gary, you shouldve been shoving pre with any Q high or better, even J10.

**funnyb25** · 12-04-20, 12:02 AM

That 77 vs KQ was the entire tournament

I appreciate the tips as I honestly have no clue what I am doing on the poker tables

No worries man you were doing great. Gary is more nitty anyway but yeah with a big chip lead like that just keep putting the pressure on as he said. You had him on the ropes several times.

In the end, the cards need to go your way.

Keep "not knowing what you're doing" tomorrow.

Almost had first and ANY points matter at this point.

Nice work.

**funnyb25** · 12-04-20, 12:09 AM

Thanks. I set my alarm otherwise I would forget I am at 10am tomorrow. Get caught up in work too much.

**ArunSh** · 12-04-20, 12:18 AM

Ok, going into final day, we are 2 points behind World and 1 point behind East while only 3 points ahead of Central. All four places are extremely realistic for us to finish in still. Hopefully the cards fall our way tomorrow! Play well guys, we can do this (a bit of help from the poker gods/dealers wouldn't be a bad thing either!).

**eddycash** · 12-04-20, 12:30 AM

Funny you played great, i saw alot of improvement and great preflop adjustment from before

**Chipup** · 12-04-20, 12:58 AM

Today was harsh Praying for a better tomorrow.

**JAKEPEAVY21** · 12-04-20, 07:39 AM

I fell asleep for the last few matches but happy to see we are in striking distance going into the final day! Hoping we can have a great day 4 as a team and secure a victory!

**tkim8404** · 12-04-20, 12:17 PM

Sorry fellas, damnit I had Yahoonino dominated and he hits his miracle Ace on the river to get a higher 2 pair.

**franklee168** · 12-04-20, 01:32 PM

Funny like a boss! Good playing bro.

**funnyb25** · 12-04-20, 01:34 PM

Thank you Sir...Let's go!

Who the fuk is a “lower ranked player”

**ArunSh** · 12-04-20, 01:36 PM

Someone no showed for Central? Who did that lol? But great job funny! We're still knocking on the door, let's do this folks!

That would be me. No shame on my part. Nothing to see here. But if you want a game of online Chinese checkers, watch out.

**ArunSh** · 12-04-20, 01:40 PM

Ahh it was Mr KLC apparently, said he did register but came home to find himself not registered? Weird, unfortunate for them.

Not to schadenfreude, but hopefully that ensures we won't get last place! But really would prefer 1st or 2nd, and we're knocking on the door so let's do it!!

I did see KLC registered for the 11:00 pm earlier. Think there was a misclick somewhere.

**johnny liu** · 12-04-20, 01:58 PM

Great job Funnyb. Keep doing what you don’t know what you are doing! Lol!

**fried cheese** · 12-04-20, 02:06 PM

how will they rule on this now that 2 world players registered

**franklee168** · 12-04-20, 02:07 PM

Both need to be DQ'D

**funnyb25** · 12-04-20, 02:08 PM

Wtf....5 handed

**johnny liu** · 12-04-20, 02:15 PM

Both should be DQ’d and other 3 players start another game

**ArunSh** · 12-04-20, 02:20 PM

This is exactly why I've been begging people to register as early as possible to avoid such things. Don't really see how they can resolve this truly fairly now, ugh.

**johnny liu** · 12-04-20, 02:22 PM

Why are you able to register 5 players in first place?

**ArunSh** · 12-04-20, 02:28 PM

Odd indeed. It says "full" when 4 are registered, it shouldn't in theory even allow more than 4 to register, yet it does? I dunno...

That's what I saw saying last night.

Just checking in during lunch. Does anyone know where we can get an actual score of the teams?

Obv right now we are gunning for any points but the "way we play" may be adjusted as it comes down to the last few tourneys.

**franklee168** · 12-04-20, 02:49 PM

Standings After 1PM Tourney

East 31

World 30

West 29

Central 24

**funnyb25** · 12-04-20, 02:54 PM

Great work Cheese man!
