Playing Other Online Tournaments

I've registered myself for a $5 .50 tournament on UB tonight at 7pm UK time.

Guaranteed prize pool of £2,000 (pays down to 5th), probably have a few hundred players, got about 60 at the moment (6:10pm).

Anyone ever play in these? What's the quality of play like?

Anyone fancy joining it tonight?

Wish me luck!

Sounds like fun...don't have the time tonight, but certainly something I'd be up for some other time.

Good luck mate!

Went for glory in the bubble and just missed the money. Finished 53rd out of 500, but had absolutely shit cards all night. In 3 hours I picked up one straight and one set of trip 6s (from my best pair of the night).

I won all my money on those two hands - fat blinds, antes and bully stacks whittled it all away. Went out to a pair of 7s against my over cards.

Good fun though, but not as entertaining or sociable as an rllmuk game. For $5 though it was well worth a punt.

I'm watching Escape from New York, so watched the last 20mins or so of your game on my laptop. Certainly was an unlucky hand you went out on...the speed people were dropping out though its a shame you weren't able to hold on a bit longer

Think I might try one of these MTT's sometime though, as it did look good fun.

Nice to know someone was watching over me.

I coulda limped on into the money, but what's the point for a $5 profit?

You have to play em like you wanna make the final table, and you have to draw the line sometime. I did and we know what happened.

MTT's are always gonna be a long shot and you really do need some luck to be with you to make it through so many rounds. Anyhoo, its more valuable playing time.

Played an 18 player (3 table) SNG the other night on UB. Went out in 5th in a blaze of glory.

Had to laugh at one of the merkin players who gave me real abuse everytime I took a pot off him. It was the kind of "trash typing" you'd expect from a thirteen year old on Xbox live.

I was apparently the worst and luckiest player he had ever played against and totally gay for winning after a generous flop.

He didn't appear to understand that AQ isn't far off even money to beat a pocket pair of 7s. How dare I land a Q on the river to beat his cherished pair, and send him home! I felt a very British "bad luck old chap" was appropriate. His considered response: GAY!!
