They are there now.

A quite disappointing turn-out for the first OnLive Satelllite at 55. Still, I"m doin OK despite donking off 700 chips with pocket tens early on.
Kinboshi would have been cringing at our table - astonville and max4matt both All-In with KK pre-flop on the first hand!!! ;D His name was in the chatbox twice by the time the river was dealt!

I had pocket Kings just before the Button with blinds 75-150, with 2 callers I raise to 650.
Big stack calls.
Flop = Nine - Ace - Jack, and my single oppo bets 600, think he has paired that Ace but call.
Turn = Jack, I"m done but my oppo goes allin. I fold and he shows Ace - Six.
Still in at First break, but need chips...
-
I"ve had a couple of donk moments - calling down with TT with an A on the flop, calling an All-In for a third of my chips with ATo, raising to 600 with only 1,200 behind with 44 in early position short stacked, I"m re-raised so I fold.
3rd bottom at the break and much to do!
-
I wont bore you but yet another bad beat sends me packing.
Suprised only a turn-out of 55 considering rumours were the main event was going to attract a field in the 1000"s.
see yer tomorrow at 8pm.
-
Just exited, my allin with Jack - Ten suited facing a call from pocket Kings.
Flop gave my a Gutshot, but the Turn and River provided nothing.
-
Out in 15th - KQs against QQ, All-In pre-flop, I flop a flush draw, it doesn"t come.
See y"all tomorrow.
GL all remaining.
-
out in 12th bled to death ;D tomorrow guys

Blue Sq sent out an email linking players to a BlueSq/APAT page and Satellites are mentioned in the introduction at http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=719.0
No mention of the Satellites in the new PokerPlayer though I noticed last night ... ? Just of the $100+$10 Direct Buy-In on page 13.
Ready for Sat #2 - GL all 69 of us.
-
I"m in again -- last night 12th tonight the world

69 now... more than last night.
Good luck all.

Same as last night - KQ lost to QQ. I was short stacked and card dead - it had to be done.
GL all, see most of you on Thursday night.
Anyone for a $10 SNG?
-
Yep more tonight, but still on the very low side considering whats on offer.
Note to self. dont try and steal when the BB"s holding AA.
cya thursday.
-
I was crap. Again.
-
Well, I"m out.
Hand of the night saw my
ac ad1 v ah :as: v 8h 8s
and the board gives the 8"s a straight. Nice one noseyP, an unlikely triple through.
See you all later in the week.

Blue Sq sent out an email linking players to a BlueSq/APAT page
Have you any idea how much junk mail I get from online poker rooms?
and Satellites are mentioned in the introduction at http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=719.0

If all of the above is deemed adequate promotion then why send an email prior to the second two?
I was simply curious why there was no reminder before the first two satellites... the online championship series are regualr events but they still get an email reminder (not sure if it"s for every one of them) as well as a topic started both here and on blonde (and poss THMF?).

The rationale is simple enough.
Promoting any event 3 or 4 days out is a waste of time (as you know, some people forget!), so the ideal promotion of these events would have seen an email promoting the first two satellites on Saturday evening last, an email promoting the second two satellites on Wednesday evening and an email promoting the OnLive event itself on Saturday. Three emails in a week is at least one (probably two) too many, hence our dropping the first. The other two will happen.
Throw into the mix further email communications around the UK event (pre & post) on December 8th & 9th and the Regional event and OnLive final table (pre & post) on December 15th plus Online Series events happening during that time and you might be able to appreciate why we cut back on emails where possible.

There we go, a simple answer to a simple question. ;)

SMS......???? ;D

I will be trying my luck Thursday. Emphasis on the word luck!
-
Well I"ve had a little bit of it so far - third hand in I"m dealt 33. Flop comes 683, turn a T, BuggerMyLuck pushes them All-In and I call. He shows KK and it"s an early double up for me. Now watch me donk them off ... ;)

I"ve had more luck ;D
Second hand - flopped quad sevens. Got a little from that hand. Then not too long later, I had AKc on the button, and managed to clean someone out with the nut flush when he bluff pushed all-in on the river!
Watch me donk them off now...in fact, I"ll race you!
-
I just want to win when I go in ahead.. And for no one to suck out on me....
Just once....
-
I should be so lucky, lucky lucky lucky....

I"m a demon donk with 89, 9T and TJ but I ain"t seeing cards that high! And as I type that, I"ve just folded trip 9s on a 3 spade flop to a bet of 2,070 on the turn.
Playing tight? Me? Naawwww ... well maybes ...
-
I"m just sitting quietly lol

I just laid down AK, pre-flop. Was to an all-in re-raise by the chip leader though! His KK held against a short-stack"s JJ.
;D

I"m just sitting quietly lol
So am I. Near the top for a change ;)

-
I wish somebody had reminded about this, I might have played!
Perhaps a phone call to all members 10 mins before the start? :-\
-
I put it in my phone its beeped me for the last 3 hours :D
-
Back down to the average stack after my KK was no match for QJ...
-

;D
I just laid down JJ to an All-In on 9d8d4c board. I"m now spending the break convincing myself it was the right thing to do ...
-
You have plenty of chips, so I"ll say yes it was a good lay down.
-

Officially beyond redemption.
Good luck everyone else and well done for setting your alarm clocks.....
-
that was possibly one of the best games i have enjoyed in a long time.. Winning going in -- lose -- losing going in win -- it has made me smile -- oh and by the way i"m out
-
Well, it wouldn"t be right if you won all of them, would it?
-
Ach well I enjoyed the tourney, card dead pretty much all the way tho need to have a word wi that BSq dealer.
Good luck to all remaining.
-
Gone. Card dead after my silly rush at the start. Then I get JJ, and am looking for a caller and a double-up. Unfortunately, he hadn"t read my script - and was holding KK that stood up.
Game over. GL all those still in.
-
I feel sorry for one runner. I had 36 os UTG, and I am working away on the laptop doing some drawings, and as I have clicked on the cad software the screen somewhat jumped to the poker, i moved all in by pressing the wrong button, someon instacalls, and I hit. Oh my.....
Whoever it was... Sorry!!!
-
They shouldn"t have called! ;D
-
Out in 34th. One of those nights where I got into too many situations where I suspected I was behind but was getting the right odds to call. I hit squat and therefore I"m oot! :-\
GL all who remain.
-
Killer hand for me was when i ran my jh js into the mighty 5c 4d all in pre flop.Hits a straight on the river. :"(
-
i was major short stack, less than 2 k with 30% of stack in pot with small blind, so a partial tilt push (just lost stack with qc qd vs ah qh.) yet still in my opinion i believed i was going in with what would be live cards.
-
12 min blinds
3000 chips to start
over in 3 hours
I know it was a satelite and not a points tourney
Didn"t play, but would be interested what people thought of the tourney.
I know Duke liked it
Was it a donkshoot? Or could the online series take a similar format with success?
Players.........advise........
-
Very much a donkfest at times, but ideal for a satellite. Too quick for the online series (IMHO).
Need a LOT of luck in these things, and I got all mine early on, was chip leader and then had the "bad beats" when people are willing to commit their tournament lives on gutshots or top pair no kicker. Can"t complain though - as these are the players you want to play against. The problem is that if you have a quick succession of outdraws - you"re a gonner.
There"s enough play early doors, but once the blinds go up the majority are effectively fairly short-stacked and it"s a case of who can win the races.
(Note to BlueSQ - those cards you gave me in the first level - can I have them a little later in the tournament next time please. Many thanks.)
-
If I .....sorry, when I lose I do it big-time!!

And tonight"s Bad Beat prize tonight goes to Phil Crozier (so far)
He makes an A high straight on the turn, and cleverly goads kaleem1 into an All-In. Phil turns an A high straight and leads two pair. Kaleem hits one of his 3 outs when the K comes on the river for a Full House. There were only two guy at the table who could have taken him out ...
UL Phil

Worse things happen at sea.
-
Out in 67th. Lost most of my chips when my KK was no match for the mighty 9,10.
Then went out - all-in with 9 5 only to be called by the mighty 5 6, who hit a 6 on the river.
Good luck all, thought the play overall tonight was really loose (maybe just the tables I was on) cya on Sunday.

WOW, SERIOUSLY UL M8. I went out just before you. Not as exciting though I"m afraid ...
Raised pre-flop with 4h5h on button, SB folds, BB calls. Board 3h9hJs (flush draw), my All-In is called by 8s8d. Turn Jc, River Jh gives me my flush but him a Full House.
Not moaning - I was 40/60 at best on flop!

Just cause you and Des never buy ::)
-
OK Mickey - are we going for nearest - above or below?
What"s the inside info Des? Do you have a figure in mind?
-
It would not surprise me if we are starting with less than 150.
I believe a lot of our players will perceive a $110 buy in as a no go area, particularly online. They will associate it with very "high-end" tournaments.
Which could be good news for those taking part as the value will be superb, even if the physical prize money is not.
I certainly do not think we will pick up too much passing traffic from Blue Square on a Sunday afternoon. We will soon see.
-
I am absolutely gutted,,,,, I may not be able to play.,.,
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHWWWWWWGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
-
If I spread bet this against a few people I could break even on the pint factor.
-
Although I have a better idea. I will take all the odd numbers and someone can take all the even numbers and for each one we get wrong we have to buy the other a drink, and vice versa.
Sounds like a plan
-
lol...what"s not to like about that :D
-
