For JAA.I'm also interested in what the stacks and prizes were at the time of the deal, if anyone (assani? bruceZ?) still has that handy. Tx.

oof, missed that. But still looking for the prizes (4th place paid x, 3rd place paid y, etc.)

Did he ever give you a reason for his all in with AK?

No, looking for the prize structure for the last four places paid, not the terms of the deal. For example, if they didn't deal, what was the prize for first? Thanks.
I think it was just over 100k.

It was like 110523827Around that if I remember correctly.

Well, the 110 was more like 103.

Nah, he never did answer that. In chat he told me he had a reason, I asked why, he said "well that'd be a one page essay", I asked if he'd tell me afterwards in the twoplustwo thread that we were both posting in, he said 'yes', he hasn't yet. I'd definitely be interested in hearing it.Drunken Cowboy said:

Haha, went to the gym and then went to bed
I mean I live in Vegas though, so its not like I'm in danger of running out of days to celebrate. Besides I was dead tired.....Totally true story: I had gone to bed at 7:00 the previous night and set my alarm for 9:15 in order to play this tourney at 9:45....2 snooze buttons later, and I woke up at 9:35 in order to play it....think I'm glad I didn't hit snooze one more time?

To be honest, theres no way I make that call if I'm him, so I definitely give him a lot of credit there. If he doesn't post it on 2p2 then I may PM him and ask him about it in private. For those wondering, here is the hand in question

Looking ahead a bit, the 2008 Wynn Classic is in late February/early March. Even with this recent score, I'm still not too keen on spending $1000+ on a tourney entry, so I'm hoping to win a seat through THIS. I'm not sure if that promo will draw in extra people or not, but on average theres only 200 or so people in the poker room at once, so you'd figure I have at least a 1 in 200 shot for each drawing(you have to be present to win)....but then also figure that many will be tourists or non regular players that havn't clocked many hours while I play at the Wynn all the time, so I should have a lot of tickets in the drawing. Seems like if I make all 13 drawings that I should be able to win at least one, no? I'm just wondering if there will be a ton of people that show up just for the drawing, so maybe my 200 people estimate is way low.

Somewhere, Alias is still wondering why people hate it when he posts poker hands and Assani's thread has reached 100 pages.

I had the chip counts written down from the time the deal was made and just found it this morning:atila 5 - 2,433,892spinvis - 11,690,228FXXX - 7,396,297jwvdcw - 6,729.583

A little bit ironic that FXXX, who appeared to be the most reluctant to make the deal at the time, seems to have made out the best because of the deal - +19K difference beween what he would have gotten for third and what he got.
congrats, assani.

That's a little monday morning QBing. Perhaps he is just less risk averse than the others. At that point he had 28k in the bag with 34k probably at 80% chance and 52k at 50%. So he's betting something like 12k to win 50k with probably a 1 in 3 shot. I can see why he might hesitate.

So how many poker sites are still open/back open to US players?And congrats Assani...I cant even imagine playing at stakes like this.

I doubt it would've been used if I hadn't suggested it. If I'm the chipleader, I'm most definitely suggesting a split according to chip count only and see if they bite...I'd start the negotiations there and perhaps then offer to give them each a few extra thousand, which I'd still make out way better on than 1/2 and 1/2. But I do think 1/2 and 1/2 is pretty fair, and I think(but don't remember for sure) that is what Sklansky suggested in TPFAP.

Here was his reasoning that he just sent me via PM on twoplustwo and said it was ok to share in my blog:To be honest, theres no way I make that call if I'm him, so I definitely give him a lot of credit there. If he doesn't post it on 2p2 then I may PM him and ask him about it in private. For those wondering, here is the hand in question

i was just curious if you pursued it or not.i'd want to see more evidence.you almost described me, without knowing what his opr results are. i typically play $10/$20 tournies with the occasional $50, $100 tourney. Only play a few of the $215 tournies. I'd rather play the satellites to them and cash out the $T. so i can see where he might've decided to play and by some miracle was the chip leader going into the ft...meh, never got around to sending Stars an email.

Good to know. Probably good to bookmark these, too. Well, good for you, at least. You're clearly going to need them while I just like to screw around. ICM tourney equity calculator is the method I would use for 3-6 players.
Tournament Equity Estimator works a little differently than ICM, and I'm not sure if that's good or not. But worth knowing about and using for cross-checking.
