A good emotional support animal like a dog or mini horse might help. Just saying...

It's not going to change once it has started Joe.

Sam has already volunteered himself for way more work than normal just to get it this even. Don't be a dick about it the entire series. It is what it is now.

It has worked out fine and been popular every other year with much less even team zones than this year.

Agreed. It is what it is and I'm from the East.

Oh fuk! I haven't been a pro but for a year! I didn't know that the World Cup of Poker had not been fair and equal

for years for some Pros solely because of where they lived in the USA!!

At first I was quite angry at the "don't be a dick" comment but I see the premise of it now my friend.

You don't want me to be repetitive and "keep on and on" about this the whole time. (Because of my OCD Lol)

I actually thank you for that post!! I'm taking that "constructive criticism" to the BANK matey!!!

You're going to like it.

And despite being a bit tougher to qualify if you are East, you will enjoy the finals series week of this promo more than most others.

The first year I think it was USA v Europe v Canada v World btw.

Maybe my luck will change, but I have no big hopes of qualifying bro! I just don't seem to ever

get enough of the luck needed in these 30 person quick tourneys! And I'm not "complaining"!!

But It isn't "real poker" where my type of "good play" (that I have honed over 25 years at the tables) is going to

eventually win out most of the time. It's not "rocket science" to play in an hour long 30 person tourney!

You have to get lucky and win probably 10 or more all ins to even get in the money! And over 20 all ins to WIN!

And it's Not just SBR but ALL 30 person quick tourneys are just a "Wild gamble" on who wins

the most 60 - 40% and 50 - 50% shots! I don't play poker to "gamble" and go all in every time I get A 10 or higher

or every time I get 2 face cards in the hole! LOL I'd play Blackjack if I wanted to do that! But I have decided

"OK what the hell, change the way you play for this different format." But it NEVER (seems like never!) wins for

me anyway! And it certainly doesn't seem to work for me as often as it does for others! (Yes You CRUSHER! LOL)

I Get A 10 on an all in then somebody calls with KQ and hits the Q on me! I get KQ against

A 10 and I don't hit the K or Q!! Then all I do is realize why I don't play poker that way!!! Maybe it will change

but it has already happened to me ALL FOUR days so far! Somebody has called with dumb shit and then

they luck out the 5 or 10% donk right on my head and I get railed and start laughing like a hyena! LOL

What's your local cardroom? Parx here

**playersonly69** · 09-06-19, 01:21 PM

Well I havent even started to play so the Central will have at least 1 more player soon. I may not be able to play today either

I jammed 6 handed with AT last night (final table), guy called with KQ, K on river.

I clicked the little x, shut down the app, and said that's poker. Would of had the chip lead. Got the stupid 40 pts.

You haven't played poker enough if that stuff gets too you. It's a brutal game.

I could of waited, could of played slow to eek out a few more points. I knew I got it in good and that's all you can ask, especially with the turbo structure of these (which is fine for our purposes)

GREAT post dude! Just like my post said, that is what all hour long 30 person tournaments are all about!

Which is trying to get lucky on a TON of all in bets so you can cash! Now I PROMISE I'm not being rude bro, but didn't you

read the OTHER part of my post? Who said that it "gets to me" when it happens?

And I "haven't played enough poker if that stuff gets to me" Did you not read where I said I've been playing poker

for 25 years? Here it is: "that I have honed over 25 years at the tables"

And where did you get that the donks on all ins "bother" me? The best 2 hole cards don't always win!

It's part of poker! And it is a HUGE part of these 30 person quick tourneys!

Did you not read where I said when the wild donks happen to me I start laughing like a hyena?

Here it is: "It has already happened to me ALL FOUR days so far! Somebody has called with dumb shit and then

they luck out the 5 or 10% donk right on my head and I get railed and start laughing like a hyena! LOL"

Cheers dude!
