Hopefully got a few playing the CPP sat at DTD at 5pm, too Think so, would like to play the latter too. I have sold the CPP to the missus, but it isn't a school holiday, so looks like a swerve currently.

He made a very odd call to bust Tom, bvb he raised, Tom shoved 30bbs with QQ and Trigg called A9o and got there. Title: Re: WCOOP and Online sweat thread Post by: tikay on September 03, 2012, 06:49:18 AM Unlucky Mr Thigh, fine effort. Hope Trigg takes it down. How much to the winner, please? Title: Re: WCOOP and Online sweat thread Post by: action man on September 03, 2012, 07:14:26 AM Thigh just busted to Trigg in 4th, Trigg has the world and is almost a lock to win. He made a very odd call to bust Tom, bvb he raised, Tom shoved 30bbs with QQ and Trigg called A9o and got there. it was 25bb, and he'd been playing like a lunatic, how is this an odd call 4 handed?

He made a very odd call to bust Tom, bvb he raised, Tom shoved 30bbs with QQ and Trigg called A9o and got there. it was 25bb, and he'd been playing like a lunatic, how is this an odd call 4 handed? It was 1.1M @ 20k/40k. Online MTT grinder mate of mine ran through what i should be shoving. Apparently I should be shoving ATs+ AJo+ and 88+ given the ridic ICM considerations... which was very close to my actual shoving range. Had already folded A8o BvB vs you. Was surprised at the call... but given dynamics was definately understandable. (just hold ffs lol) As I said at the table... wp, the win was fully deserved... deffo made my life miserable throughout. Title: Re: WCOOP and Online sweat thread Post by: tikay on September 03, 2012, 07:51:32 AM Congrats Trigg, well played. Title: Re: WCOOP and Online sweat thread Post by: Doobs on September 03, 2012, 10:05:58 AM Congrats Trigg and Wayne Bentley. Two big scores there.
Title: Re: WCOOP and Online sweat thread Post by: Doobs on September 03, 2012, 12:40:50 PM Congratulations to Sam Razavi, Winner of the 2012 PokerStars.net APPT Melbourne Main Event ($326,125) Read more: http://www.pokernews.com/live-reporting/2012-anzpt-melbourne-grand-final/main-event/#post-209204 Title: Re: WCOOP and Online sweat thread Post by: tikay on September 03, 2012, 12:49:17 PM Wow, well done Sam! Sam is a bit "marmite", peeps are either hot or cold on him, but I think he's splendid fun, & we get along terrific. He's an incredible impressionist, too, which to be fair has bugger all to do with anything really.... Well done Mr R.

I loved how you stepped it up when you got the CL if QQ hold we go HU 90% of the time. gg Title: Re: WCOOP and Online sweat thread Post by: pleno1 on September 03, 2012, 01:55:38 PM 3bet/call > 3b jam or?
Title: Re: WCOOP and Online sweat thread Post by: action man on September 03, 2012, 01:58:46 PM well i didnt deem the ICM implications as much of a factor as him so i figured his jam range was a lot wider than he stated, jamming folds all his air out. We were actually battling quite a bit BvB however since the dynamic had changed i had got a lot of opens from Sb to his BB through. I didnt know this was the WOT was the villain/hero at the time

Title: Re: WCOOP and Online sweat thread Post by: The Camel on September 06, 2012, 11:24:18 PM WCOOP is a charade really, invented out of nothing by Pokerstars to become a rake creating monster. Hats off to them for making so many people fall for it! ?? ?? ?? ?? In what way is it a charade? Because it is no different to any other online tournament. It would be like knitting two jumpers, selling one at the market for £3 and the other one at Laura Aslhey under the lixury range for £99. They are called two different things, but are exactly the same only one costs loads more than the other. Title: Re: WCOOP and Online sweat thread Post by: The Camel on September 06, 2012, 11:25:37 PM I might start the Camel's Regional Annual Poker Series. And I'll award bracelets too! I'm only going to play if there's an awards ceremony at the end. With a Lifetime Achievement award for Danial Negreanu Decide the prize will be a bucketful of Camel shit instead. Negreanu wins! Title: Re: WCOOP and Online sweat thread Post by: The Camel on September 06, 2012, 11:26:59 PM Does anything make the camel happy? I used to think he was a happy guy. I can honestly say I have never been happier than I am today. Thank you for worrying about my mental health, it means an awful lot to me xx Title: Re: WCOOP and Online sweat thread Post by: Dubai on September 06, 2012, 11:27:35 PM WCOOP is a charade really, invented out of nothing by Pokerstars to become a rake creating monster.

Obviously its different- it provides some added value in the form of a bracelet and player of series etc- it has bigger guarantees than the regular comps, and has a "better" structure than the regular comps. And costs exactly the same You are miles off on this one imo Title: Re: WCOOP and Online sweat thread Post by: mondatoo on September 06, 2012, 11:40:54 PM The rake is no higher right ? £99 and £3 jumper thing doesn't really make any sense, assuming the rake isn't 33x higher than normal, seems a fair assumption to make. Loads of people play them because they know loads of other people will be thus huge prizepools, pretty simples, not really sure what there is not to like.

I don't think a crappy bracelet which could be valued at about tuppence happeny or a player of the series award which is worth about $2 per player is "added value" in a realistic meaning of the phrase. Structures, schmuctures. It just takes an extra 3 hours for me to do my money, whop de whop. The only possible way these are better than the normal tournaments is because bad players are "taking a shot" in games much bigger than they usually play in or have won a seat - (people who have bought into the myth of the Emperors new clothes that WCOOP is a special series) But this is offset by every online genius in the world playing the series. Title: Re: WCOOP and Online sweat thread Post by: Ironside on September 06, 2012, 11:44:57 PM got to disagree with keith on the wcoops the higher gtds bring in plenty of people like me trying to sat in (havent tried to sat in one for years personally but you know what i mean) this makes it very juicy for the regs who all enter the games are so much bigger than you would get without a wcoop being played
Title: Re: WCOOP and Online sweat thread Post by: The Camel on September 06, 2012, 11:47:14 PM By far the best series Pokerstars ran was UKCOOP.
Because they added money (significantly so in the main event) to almost every tournament. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, they haven't repeated this series. Title: Re: WCOOP and Online sweat thread Post by: The Camel on September 06, 2012, 11:48:45 PM Online satellites for CRAPS start on Monday.
Roll up, roll up for the REAL EMPERORS NEW CLOTHES of poker tournaments.

Loads of people play them because they know loads of other people will be thus huge prizepools, pretty simples, not really sure what there is not to like. The rake on the Sats is Ridic. Must be a gold mine for them. Title: Re: WCOOP and Online sweat thread Post by: Longy on September 06, 2012, 11:50:27 PM Camel I have a great deal of respect for you and agree with you on a lot of things but you have totally lost the plot on this.
Stars is providing a service the poker playing community want and are charging a fair rake for it. The structures allow more play yeah, if you don't like that they are offer other series with different buyins (scoop, micromillions) and different speed (TCOOP). There are numerous things in the poker community that are a charade, WCOOP would be near the bottom of a very long list.

WCOOP attracts players into games they would never normally play, and as such must be a goldmine for the small population of regs in the daily game. So wish I could have played it.

The normal MTTs get huge spike in numbers, Big 109, Big 55, 20c etc etc down to the $5 scheduled turbos become massive. The sats that run are soft and are a gold mine if they're your game. Even the hyper's get good and 3.5ks pop off with regularity towards the end of the series. - 1M VPP months for the hyper guys. Fields are softer all over. Everyday have opportunity to play things with 6 figs ftw. There is a tiny bit of prestige with winning one - bracelet or w/e winning a Wcoop is still pretty 'kool' imo. Variety given to the grinders who are stuck with same schedule week in week out. Recreational players look forward to depositing their $215 and playing a "WCOOP" rather than a big 109 and a ho 75 they could play any day. PLO, PLO8, stud and all other variations draw huge fields, comparatively, for their discipline and garner interest from people who would never normally play/entertain the games. Structures are very good. The 'sickos' come out of the woodwork and move for the month to play WCOOP, Gboro etc makes for some good rails for the fan boys.

I agree with your overview to an extent with regards to bracelets and the charade around the prestige, but their value is just to good to pass up for alot of players. For me personally its a chance to play MTT's with big prizes with structures which offer a degree postflop play. I think you underestimate its value and effects on solid players ROI's.

Average Buy-In - $2.49 Games Played - 9906 Prizes Won - $1,022,946 Even if he earned 2 FPPs for every one of those games he played, it is still nowhere near the 107,000 FPPs needed to enter that freeroll. Meaning he must have played multiple rounds of qualifiers in which it only takes losing one of them to throw you back down to step 1 or 2.
