Monday night tourneys - Going up 7/14

Decided a 4th of July journey up there is probably not the best idea.

So I'll head up on a Monday night sometime.

Gates has a $60 with 10k chips.
Station has a $60 with 5k chips.

Anyone played in either?

I'm going to guess the Gates' structure is pretty poor (same as the 15k on Sundays?).

have not played a gates tourney in a long time...and probably never will again....station tourney I last played was $115 and 5k in chips...I thought it was pretty good....if that is the same structure sounds like it might be a steal for $60

Ian and I have tentative plans to play the $60 CCS tourney on Monday (7/14).

Just throwing that out there.

Nice, I couldn't think of a line to finish it but this works!

We interrupt this limerick to see who all is heading up tomorrow night.

I'm working in downtown tomorrow, and I should be leaving around 5pm (to get up there around 6pm)--maybe a little earlier.

might have to bail on this......I am thinking of going to try to get an iphone tomorrow which will probably mean staying late to make up the time I am gone.

Yup gonna be here til 6:30 sorry

Not sure why you want to get an Iphone right away. Seems like they are still encountering several big problems:

Server problem leaves users unable to fully activate new model

However, the iTunes servers were equally hard to reach from home, leaving the phones unusable except for emergency calls.

Boo-urns. I'm still trying to decide if I should drive up and play in a tourney by myself. Make me more of a loser than I already am.

"In preparation for the new iPhone release, Apple has also released iCant, the activation blocker."

We got three on Friday and had them running by Friday afternoon. They couldn't activate the phones from the AT&T store when we purchased them and had issues accessing ITunes when we got home, but by the afternoon both of my kids IPhones were working great. I was thinking of selling mine due to the demand, but decided to keep it and had no issues with ITunes on Saturday.

Sorry, I don't want to sway the subject of this thread so I'll post an IPhone review in another thread.

From now on my posts will be about my love of the iPhone rather than assplay

Considering how little you get to play you should go.

I will play bar poker with you on Friday if you are free

I think a home game at a friend's house is in the works for Friday. I introduced $0.25/0.50 NL to my group of friends last week, and it was a huge hit.

I'm debating if I will even play on Friday. I have a lot of stuff to do before I leave, and playing twice this week may be all I can do.

Might have been a good thing no one else went. A whole 15 people showed up to play. I was card dead the whole tourney and busted out in 7th (when my AQs met AKo). The Gates had 47 people, and there were still 6 people left around 11:45p! Nonetheless, CCS has a decent structure (typical one except without a 75/150 round) with good amount of starting chips.

2/5 at CCS: -9
Tourney entry: -60
2/5 at Ameristar: +69
Playing $0.09 found in a slot machine next to the CCS Quizno's: +0.25 <-- how could I forget this?

Yay.
