PokerBarney Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Re: Mansion Poker Dome - HUGE VALUE Just wanted to whinge about a mental player on Mansion's $500 added. I'm dealt JJ in mid position with one caller. Raise from blinds of 10/20 to 100. Caller calls. Flop is J,6,2 high, two spades. I bet half the pot. He calls. Turn is 5. I bet two thirds the pot, he calls. River is a 4. I raise him all in... and he turns over 2,3 diamonds. Am I wrong, or was that a mental play from him? I deliberately bet my set to push off draws... I suppose it is a freeroll. Argh. According to twodimes.net - http://twodimes.net/h/?z=1756399 - I was 98% to win after the flop, since his only outs were running 4,5. AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedonist Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Re: Mansion Poker Dome - HUGE VALUE Just had an email from Mansion: I am contacting you as you a lucky winner of a Poker Dome Experience as an alternate in the MANSIONPOKER.NET POKER DOME CHALLENGE (Conditions apply). What this means is you get to participate in the experience without the seat. If by chance two of the 6 can't play you're in. So I have to hope that 2 players cannot make it! :ok :cow :nana :cow :nana :cow :nana :cow :nana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope a couple of the players in my game have had a few parking tickets :rollin I was just about to sit down and eat when I had the email, the food remained untouched! Good Luck Mr V, I hope you make it also :hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runadrum Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Re: Mansion Poker Dome - HUGE VALUE I've been a bit slow here (not unusual). This must be costing Mansion a fortune, especially if they've got to regularly fly people out from the UK to compete for the weekly $25k. Good Luck anyone who makes it, especially as like Hedonist said you would expect more US players to get involved as the programmes air. :hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presume you bubbled in a qualifier or was it some kind of random draw (or both) ? Also, does it mean they make you stand ? ;) First of all Hodgey, then Hedonist, and then I finished 2nd. In Hodgeys heat the winner is unable to play, so Hodgey is off, and Hedonist and I are both hoping for similar good fortune.... :hope However as I read this, does it mean we (Hedonist and I) are required in Vegas, or am I clutching at straws?

Have to say that was how I read it - might be poor phrasing but how do you get to participate in the experience but not sitting at the table without being in the audience ? But (dangles the carrot and snatches it back) if they needed literally last minute subs you would think they would ask US residents ? Either way :hope :hope :hope :hope :hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedonist Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Re: Mansion Poker Dome - HUGE VALUE Just a quick question' date=' are the qualifiers still running, if so, how often and what are dates in Vegas??[/quote'] The qualifiers are still running, there is one at 9pm UK time tonight, the Vegas dates are every weekend. I have just had an overview of the itinerary and there does not appear to be much free time, I am looking forward to Hodgey's report next week.

stereoman Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Re: Mansion Poker Dome - HUGE VALUE Hmmm. The format is speed poker, where the betting is pot-limit pre-flop and no-limit after that. The players must act within 15 seconds or their hand is declared “dead” if time runs out while facing a bet. But players are allowed one 30-second time extension. However, when play reaches heads up, each player is given one more extension. Good luck Hodgey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
