AHH nothing better than a bunch of mini-raising!! LOL

Whenever I see that I just imagine two cartoon french mice sqeeking out "touche" while they joust with toothpicks...

Took your advice and played one tonight. I think I must be running bad or something. After many other suckouts, I had this to deal with:

Oh I LOVE those double shootouts for $11.70 that pay 215 T$. Won 3 of them and use the T$ for the weekly tourneys and other small tourneys or more $11.70s. The majority of the players in those are really bad, but I have gotten heads up with some good ones and its a long battle.

[littlebu]

Thanks Matt now everyone knows where the gold mine has been hidden

[imthatguy]

Played another one today and took it down. I'm running g00t again.

[jamby]

What does double shootout convey though? The two guaranteed seats to the other tourney or something else?

Congrats you big Nut. Nicely done.

[imthatguy]

Thanks Andi, what it means, in the case of the tournament I played, is that there were four tickets worth $215 each to the Sunday Million plus a few bucks in cash left over for 5th and 6th. You're auto registered to the Sunday Million, but you can opt out and P*'s gives you T$, which can be used for other tournaments, which can be very profitable!
