Title: Sunday's Betfair Monte Carlo Satellite Post by: tikay on March 06, 2005, 04:22:37 PM Contrary to what the piece on our Front Page today said, tonight's Betfair Monte Carlio qualifier - with 2 GUARANTEED SEATS - will be at 1800 UK, NOT 2100 UK.
Memo to Self - do buck up. Title: Re: Sunday's Betfair Monte Carlo Satellite Post by: ariston on March 06, 2005, 11:40:13 PM You will be pleased to hear the 2 seats went to blondepoker forumites, me and the milkybarkid. See you in monte carlo everyone.
ariston Title: Re: Sunday's Betfair Monte Carlo Satellite Post by: ifm on March 06, 2005, 11:45:07 PM still not happy, grrrrr
ian ps which one was milkybar? Title: Re: Sunday's Betfair Monte Carlo Satellite Post by: ariston on March 06, 2005, 11:51:45 PM milkybar plays as bennyboi on betfair. if u email betfair you will get a refund i am sure. You would think I had free blinds but someone almost almost always beat me to it- it made life very difficult for me.
ariston Title: Re: Sunday's Betfair Monte Carlo Satellite Post by: ifm on March 06, 2005, 11:55:54 PM don't mind anyone gaining from my misfortune, (we've all done it!!).
i'm just soooo frustrated!!! good job i ain't got a dog!! you'll know if i don't get a refund (though that's really not the point) cuz you'll hear me yelling from Monte carlo!! well done mate. you did good. ian Title: Re: Sunday's Betfair Monte Carlo Satellite Post by: ariston on March 06, 2005, 11:59:36 PM Cheers mate. Cats are better to kick anyway, dogs tend to bite back. ;)
ariston Title: Re: Sunday's Betfair Monte Carlo Satellite Post by: tikay on March 07, 2005, 02:45:34 AM Wwll done to Russ & Ben, great result lads.
And Ian's tale of woe was.....? Title: Re: Sunday's Betfair Monte Carlo Satellite Post by: Milkybarkid on March 07, 2005, 09:03:26 AM Cheers Tikay
I woke up very pleased this morning :) I was short chipped after just a few hands ... practically out as i had just 375 of the starting 2000 left. It was scary on the last hand. I put the shortest stack all in with A2. He had JK. Flop TQ6 ..... time for a sweat! Blank... blank..... phew! Title: Re: Sunday's Betfair Monte Carlo Satellite Post by: ariston on March 07, 2005, 09:23:05 AM Where you already drunk milky? (I believe you attacked a nice premier crux straight after it finished) The final hand i said do we both get the same prize which was confirmed by admin. You asked me to play you properly so I said ok lol and went allin with KQ. You called with a2. Flop brought a king and the river brought an ace. 1st and 2nd is the same so well done. You predicted when there was 18 left that i was going to double you up- I told you I wouldnt do it until we were heads up, Least I was good to my word.
ariston Title: Re: Sunday's Betfair Monte Carlo Satellite Post by: ariston on March 07, 2005, 09:26:45 AM And yes Tikay thanks alot mate. Ian disconnected in the final and was gone for over an hour while he anted away. He had a reasonable stack too. He got back in about 2 minutes after he had got knocked out. As far as I am aware he was the only one who had any problems during this comp but I am sure betfair will do something for him if he emails them the circumstances.
Title: Re: Sunday's Betfair Monte Carlo Satellite Post by: Milkybarkid on March 07, 2005, 10:45:48 AM I thought i had A9 v your QK. Well my memory deserts me.
How did you know i had a Premier Cru after i finished? :o Title: Re: Sunday's Betfair Monte Carlo Satellite Post by: ariston on March 07, 2005, 10:58:23 AM told you I could see into your soul kid. :P
Title: Re: Sunday's Betfair Monte Carlo Satellite Post by: Milkybarkid on March 07, 2005, 11:08:20 AM lol
Well here's to hoping you are sat to my left for the actual main event ;) Title: Re: Sunday's Betfair Monte Carlo Satellite Post by: ifm on March 07, 2005, 03:04:09 PM Had a little time to calm down now!!
Yeah as said i was sitting pretty, 2nd or close 3rd in chips, 7 left in. With around 12-13k and the blinds 2 and 4 hundred i need to just pick and choose my hands and let the shorter stacks self destruct before i needed to get reinvolved, unfortunately got disconnected and tried everything i could think of to get back in. Reboot after reboot, safemode, safemode with networking. Complete uninstall reinstall of betfair (obviously going crazy with despair and frustration) nothing worked! Not sure what would be worse, getting back in when i did (out) or getting back in with a few chips! Still awaiting a reply from betfair. Is there another one of these satts next week or is that it? ian Title: Re: Sunday's Betfair Monte Carlo Satellite Post by: Milkybarkid on March 07, 2005, 03:26:40 PM Ian
That was the last one. I think only me and Ariston noticed you were disconnected for a while. I did say to Ariston that you should have rang a mate to play for you till you could reconnect... Hopefully you will get your buy in back. Title: Re: Sunday's Betfair Monte Carlo Satellite Post by: ariston on March 07, 2005, 04:18:56 PM I spoke to them earlier today about your problem Ian and I am sure they are going to look after you in some way with a goodwill gesture. Bare with them and unlucky again mate. I noticed the first hand you disappeared and milky noticed a round or 2 later and started bombarding my small blind lol. I would have done the same kid!
Title: Re: Sunday's Betfair Monte Carlo Satellite Post by: ifm on March 07, 2005, 04:30:10 PM Cheers both and congrats again, it's just the "so near and yet so far" syndrome.
Stayed in specially for it and sat for 3 hours! Chances are i woulda busted out before too long (all classy players) like i say i'm cool enough about it now. thanks for talking to 'em for me bud, *may* see you on there again sometime Any other sites doing these sats? ian Title: Re: Sunday's Betfair Monte Carlo Satellite Post by: Ruru on March 07, 2005, 04:54:43 PM Congrats to milkybarkid (aka Bennyboi) and ariston! See you boys in Monte Carlo!
