FTR SNG Experiment 2 (April 10 21:00 UTC)

[Nakamura]

We are preparing for another SNG experiment on PS, all players are welcome. I thought it would be clearer if we started a new thread. It will be a $5.50 game with 10 minute blinds, so plenty of deep-stacked play. You should be prepared to comment on a few hands and spend a little time (15 - 30 mins) to correctly prepare your comments for posting on FTR. See an example here http://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerfo...-a-186149.html

The point of these experiments isn't about playing perfectly, it's about discussing interesting and problematic hands. Even if you aren't a perfect SNG player (who is?), there are a number of good SNG players on FTR that can provide helpful comments, insight and critique regarding your play.

Date: April 10 21:00 UTC
Place: PokerStars Home Games (FTRstudygroup)

See you there!

Fulksy, how did you create a payout for the top 3? I can only create a tournament that pays out the top 20% :/

[DoubleJ]

Hi Nakamura & fulksy,

How long d'ya reckon it'd take for my 'application' to be processed? Coz I'd be up for that!

Cheers!

[Fielmann]

Wiii, I'm in!

(This is going to be awesome.)

[taipan168]

Wow, for once I can actually play because my regular Monday morning meeting has been cancelled. Looking forward to it and thanks Naka for arranging it!

[Nakamura]

Hi Nakamura & fulksy,

Cheers!

It should be pretty quick. AFAIK it just requires an admin to click and allow you in. You have to of course wait for a few pretty girls to get let in first and then you might get in if you give us a tenner

I have admin rights, but not sure if I have those sort of powers .... I live in Africa, it's probably not a good idea to give me too much power

The field is starting to look good!

[DoubleJ]

...You have to of course wait for a few pretty girls to get let in first...

But I am a pretty girl!

[Nakamura]

But I am a pretty girl!

Straight to the front of the line in that case! Have you applied yet?

[DoubleJ]

Have you applied yet?

Why, yes, kind Sir

[fulksy]

Fulksy, how did you create a payout for the top 3? I can only create a tournament that pays out the top 20% :/

20% will pay out top 3, i wondered that to and emailed support

[fulksy]

hoping to play, hopefully back home in time.

[Rage2100]

I'm in!

BTW - is there any specific Table Etiquette for these Experiment games that I need to be aware of?

e.g. I always have 'Chat' turned off, etc.

Let me know, eh?

The last experiment I think everyone had chat turned on, which is cool because you can chat to people who regularly post on FTR. I can't really think of anything that would be off-limits at the table. If you can soul-read, it's always fun to type the hand in the chatbox.

[baudib]

don't mock asians who play SNGs imo

[DoubleJ]

Nice

Lookin' forward to bustin' out in last place, then

Good table etiquette in these things is to ship all of your chips over to my stack.

[DoubleJ]

Understood.

2nd or 3rd hand? So as not to look too much of a suck-up?

[Nakamura]

Since I come from a previously disadvantaged country I clearly deserve your chips more than Rage.

[DoubleJ]

...I come from a previously disadvantaged country...

quite.

Previously

You got sunshine and Braais.

maybe we all just go all-in on the first hand. That's what usually happens in the SnGs I play, anyway...

[taipan168]

Thanks everybody for a great game. Came 3rd as I have in every single one of these!

[Nakamura]

Last again for me, but nice game. Looking forward seeing the HH as well as the next one.

[DoubleJ]

+1



quite an eye-opener for UberNoob here.

Avoided bustin out in last place, so Target 1 acheived. Target 2 was "don't embarass yourself" - will wait for HH reviews to see if I managed that.

[Hurriedly edits HH file....tap tap tap]

[Rage2100]

Right, I have all of the HH and comments files now. I will try and put this all together later, as I need to add in some extra code to bypass baudib. As he was in the last seat this time, it sent my script haywire.

How about we all club together and buy him an alarm clock?!

No, it's a pretty easy fix I think, so I will do this later on.

[DoubleJ]

Hey! It's all suddenly clear...

I'd previously assumed that baudib's avatar was meant to suggest that he was like Chuck Bednarik.

he's actually the guy crashed out on the floor catching ZZzzzzz's, eh?
