SBR WORLD CUP Of POKER 2020 -- LIVE THREAD

[Auto Donk]

funny was on team west's 1st place squad last year...he's a grizzled veteran

ok, I take all of that back; ban him......

just kidding..... guess I drank more last Cup than I realized -- which probably had something to do with where we finished last year.....

[Auto Donk]

alright, all that aside, I think I'll mix up a nice, strong bloody mary, and settle in for what should be a day in which TFC really hits its stride, and legs out a big lead.......


here's late last night, as a TFC member who shall go unnamed was approached by an east, and west, team member:







today, I expect TFC to do a lot of this, as well:

Don't worry guys. Genie made a decision without realizing this was normally not allowed. But Smitch had a very good reason and there was a couple of other factors going on that made this a good solution this year.

It hasn't been 'announced' as it's not meant to set a precedent for the future. It would open up holes to take shots and just be a mess of arguments if swaps were allowed as a free for all.

Opti I thought mail carriers were only important during the US Election

waves would be in an endless vortex of trades, as each team passed him around like some sort of half-ass, penny betting nit hot potato....

Being that it was next man up #13...I would think someone should be allowed to bow out if they have other commitments.

Now if this was a case where someone like Team World called in Sinmiedo type of ringer, then that would be a big problem (since they didn’t participate in the promo).

But next man up seems fair to all.

Good luck to FunnyB....definitely one of the great guys at SBR.

With Smitch wanting to pull out, it gave the opportunity to not unfairly penalize 12th place in East and 13th place in West, and not be forced to DQ Chaoz when he is insistent he's not where all the available tech evidence says he is.

Next year players will be clearly warned that if they are in the wrong team, they need to speak up early or wont get any leniency.


Explaining this to try and hose down arguments. Not perfect, but given how SBR assigned teams and didn't double check people or ask them to speak up, the Smitch pull-out was very helpful to end up with close to a completely fair solution.

Are you guys actually trying to state there are other things that happen in life besides SBR poker?

The Chaos situation is a whole other story in itself

Thanks again for the updates Opti

BTW, if West wins, it might be nice if each of you throw a few points at Smitch. Just a thought.

they'll think about it a lot more if funny pulls three w's the next three days.......


by way or wrap on on trnies 1 and 2 of Day 2, PO69 goes back to back, drilling the field again in his own unique style; which has him in the early running for CUP MVP honors if he stays hot..... Enky was the last to fall to the PO69 juggernaut, picking up a solo point for team world, which ran the night cap table last night (after I passed out), to surge into the lead....

second tourney of the day, went to team world as well, with Chip-up picking up the solo point.


Overall Cup Standings after 2 down, 10 to go on Day 2:


team world: 14

TEAM FUKKIN CENTRAL: 11

west: 9

central team of poker (bad poker): 8

I don't think so. You were getting odds, just didn't catch.

[Miklos]

Just like I had your ass yesterday with QJ on jj8t Board. You had 6 outs to the river for 13%.

Seems certain guys have Horse shoes jammed up their asses for this thing. Mpasch did tonight from the get go.

Too bad I didn’t call with my 77 and flop quads. After two raises I didn’t think it was the right call. Turned out it wasn’t since CraigPB was holding AA. But I would have been lucky as hell.

PS....can we beat Peavy this week in my league so that I may have a chance to get into the playoffs.

[thechaoz]

Johnny and Arun with back to backers. You feel it coming? Yeah, it's the avalanche you can feel and hear, but can't outrun.




DON"T CALL IT A COMEBACK!

Sure no problem!! Not talking shit I'll take a horse shoe up my ass anyday. Obv only saw until I was knocked out.

I ran into AA 3 times and QQ to finally put me down. I thought triv or whatever the hell his name is slow rolled me, took a while to call. I'll be honest, I wasn't in the best place after having technical errors from sbr (tournament ID not available) and then some members of my own team riding my ass about it. I tried to chill, but once craig woke up with AA it was kind of down hill from there.

I'm assuming trivs World and stealing wifi from a Mom and Pop laundry outfit in Zimbabwe, so I get it.

[eddycash]

Dude reminds me of Dennis Rodman going to Vegas when the whole team needs him to focus on the Championship lol.

[playersonly69]

Well Team Central is sucking it up right now. i think that we only have 16 points
