Calling all Gambling Addicts...

The next Supertopo suckers tournament of donkeys is one week from today, Tuesday October 21. Here are the details from the email...

Thank you for your e-mail and tournament request. I have created your private nl hold'em freezeout tournament as you requested in your e-mail below with 2000 starting chips and it is open for registration at this time. In order to locate your tournament, click the "Private" tab in the tournament lobby & it is also possible to locate your tournament by clicking on Requests, then Find Tournament by ID:

Tournament #64016515 (10/21/08 21:00 ET)

Name/Title: Supertopo Suckers II
Password: wideislove
Occcurance: one time
Date: 10/21/2008
Time: 2100
Buyin: $20/$2
Game: Hold 'em
Limit: No Limit

Remember, start times are in Eastern time, so 2100 = 9:00PM Eastern = 6:00pm Pacific. Again, this is a freeze-out so no re-buys or add-ons. And I bumped it up to $20 since there are no re-buys or add-ons so we can have a good size prize pool.

Feel free to bump as needed.

Pat, it's always possible--maybe I'll yank the kids out of school and bring 'em with for the climbing festivities.

So Strider/Kingsbury, Need more education please. What does $20/$2 mean ?

And for Limit: No limit....does no limit mean you can raise to no limit like $100.00 un mas? What could the max bet for a hand be? Thanks LRL

Lynne,
The $20/2 means that the total buy-in is $22. $20 goes towards the prize pool and $2 goes to the service that provides the game. So if 5 people buy-in then the total prize pool will be $100 and Full Tilt Poker will get $10 for giving us a place to play

No limit means exactly that. There is no limit on any bet for the duration of play. So if you have $100 in front of you, at any time you can say, "all in" with your $100.

This game is also a freeze-out. That means if you lose all your chips you can not buy more, you are out of the tournament. . The last game we had was a $10 buy-in and you could re-buy once for $10. So some people put in $20 because they lost early in the game and some people only bought in for the $10 because they didn't lose all of their chips.

Finally to fund a Full Tilt Poker account you must use a Visa card and the minimum funding is $50.

Hope to see you at the game.

Thanks Strider, really do appreciate your time and patience. You don't have to answer this, maybe someone else will...I get it all But, what if you have $100 and put it in and no one else has $100.

1) they can't buy more chips, right
2) do you just win cause no one can match your bet?
3) I don't mind if you snicker and think...idiot...: ))

I will always respond because it keeps this thread alive and hopefully we will get more players! =)

So, here's a quick scenario...

I am player 1, you are player 2.

Player 1 has $75 in chips
Player 2 has $100 in chips
We each are dealt our two cards.
Player 1 acts first. He choses to call.
Player 2 checks.
The flop (3 cards) comes down
Player 1 checks
Player 2 goes all in for $100
Player 1 calls for the $75 he has in front of him! Player two gets back the unmatched $25 and the total pot will be Player 1's $75 and Player 2's $75 for a total of $150.
After that the rest of the cards are dealt and fate decides the winner. I am oversimplifying this but that is basically how it works.

I am sorry to say this Lynne but if your money means anything to you and you are asking these questions you may want to sit down with some friends and play in real life before you go on the computer. Things go pretty quick online as there is a time limit imposed. Then again, it is only $20 and it is a lot of fun to play with people you know and have met!

Regardless, feel free to ask any more questions you may have.

well, since I took a LOT of abuse in this thread for handing out what is basically great poker advice, I feel it is only natural to point out that since returning to my online poker club of people who REALLY take poker seriously, I have won outright three tournaments, placed in the money in three others, with one being a 5th out of 6800 to win a ticket for a 2k prize fund event.

So say what you will about my ideas of what is good play, but my record speaks for itself, against pretty stiff competition in the club events, where I have placed 1,1,2 and zip zip out of five total. That's pretty hard to do.

BTW, I won't be playing in ST events, cause you guys put up too much money for too few hands, and that means there is too much luck involved. besides, being on disability, I can't afford to play a 20 + 2 dollar buy in, especially when I can get serious competition from my club for 2.70, and by being at the top of the leader board, I get entries into the free rolls with a nice prize fund.

Oh yeah, I've also taken 4 bounties.

Yep, I'm bragging. Sue me. BUT I'm also pointing out that I DO know what I'm talking about in Poker, contrary to what some of you seem to think.

IF I live though the next few weeks, and not have to take too many narcotics, I may be going places in poker.
