Joe,

I think that most people who signed up through the site are either too shy to post or aren't members of the forum. I'll have to check closer to the tournament date and see how many people get registered. Have you qualified for it yet?

I have 100...out of 300. Mostly playing 25 NL 6max and full ring.
I'm up about $85 so far in about 6 hrs of play.
Usually, I'll have 2 beginner tournaments, a full ring and a 6-max cash game going at the same time. It's work, but profitable.

My internet has been down since last Monday LOL. The poker gods and f-in comcast are soooo against me. I can't play at work since I have a municipal computer, but I would in a minute if I could : )

So, looks like I'll be grinding a whole lot this weekend and all of next week and next weekend.

OK, I'm in.

I played mostly $25FR and 6-max and 10NL with some shots at 50NL FR. The 50NL shots were towards the end of my sessions and I made some pretty DONK plays (A3o OOP, then donk betting when an ace hits...boy was I a fish at that point). Thank goodness I redeemed myself with trip 7s vs. QQ the next hand.

I put $50 down betting that David Hasselhoff will go to rehab in 2007. I'm getting +250 (2.5:1). The line now is even money. That same day they had a bet up that Trump would publicly insult Rosie O'Donnell. Made bank on that one.

Thanks! 22 people were in the tournament. We were down to the final 2 and decided to split the money and the winner would get the seat. So I got 1,000 and the seat and the other guy got 1,000.

At the final 2 the leader had a 2:1 chip advantage. We went back and forth for about 10 minutes when I picked up some big 2 pair+ hands.

And once we made the deal the pressure was off. It was really a thrill.
I'll have a trip report once I get back. It's so exciting.
