Cloud Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I just came 2nd overall - but heads up we was both all in (and I would have had around 85% of chips if I won) - I had 2 pairs and he called hoping for a flush - only the river to come. And yep, he got it. That is so, so annoying - although $80 in a freeroll isn't too bad. I did have a huge slice of luck earlier though - holding KK - two AA's on the board - the player before me went all-in. I thought he would have played it slower with an Ace, so I called him. He had AQ. Turn K River K Nice!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Re: Mansion $500 added Congrats on the 2nd place finish . I ended up right behind you in 3rd place. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 Re: Mansion $500 added Well played Rookie - didn't the guy who won it put you out in the same way as he did me. I know he put out someone else exactly the same way - a flush on the river - but I can't remember if it was the 3rd or 4th place player he did it to. And by the way, haven't played Mansion a lot, but when I do I find it a fantastic place to play. Very slick, smooth and has a got a real professional feel to it. If/when it gets busier, I might have to set up base there - I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerBarney Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Re: Mansion $500 added I was doing ok at the start.. then got a bit shortstacked. I managed to CR an aggressive medium stack all in with my top pair A, and he called with bottom pair 9. Just what I wanted - here comes the double up. Uh oh.. here comes his K for second pair. Goon. Wp cloudy! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedonist Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Re: Mansion $500 added I notice that the number of players is increasing. When I won the $500 a month ago there were only 118 people playing, now there are over 300. My only complaint is the speed which the blinds increase, after a couple of hours they only go up every 15 minutes, I think it makes for better poker but makes the games last over 4 hours and finish well past midnight. :zzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerBarney Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Re: Mansion $500 added The mansion games do take a long time. The $50 added took almost 3 hours with 150 or so people in. That's mental for a freeroll, and makes me think it's not worth the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 Re: Mansion $500 added Yeah - didn't realise it took so long. The game finished just past 1am last night. Luckily there was a player shoving his chips in with great frequency. With a final table of tight players it could have gone on a good while longer. 200 posts!!! wayhey!!!

Rookie Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Re: Mansion $500 added Ya i do agree that the tournaments last a little too long, but it is an advantage for the better players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i finished 2nd it finished at 1:40 am .................. and that was because i needed to get to bed and took some chances, it could have gone on for another half hour otherwise................... when i got first place it was about 1.10 am i think. and when i finished 10th i went out about 12.30 or so .......................... I'm quite happy with the length of time it takes as it allows you to play, instead of it turning into a lottery ................It would be nice if it started a little earlier though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
