I hate you

I can see myself going way over my 60 gig for the month.

the big game starts tonight as well, 48 hour cash game, should be awesome

the one i am most looking forward to is the pokerstars one where there is a qualifier each week who gets freerolled for 100k, but only keeps their winnings over and above 100k. i reckon that will make for awesome poker tv

that'd be crap because I heard every player participating has agreed to a chop

how do they chop?

[Des]

what ever winnings each player gets... put into a pool, chop between all players

and make sure at least 1 person goes busto.

weird

so i guess the wild card player is the one that is guaranteed to go busto then

i cant remember where i read it

could be BS, i thought they were all freerolling?

as far as i know (listening to the 2p2 pokercast) it is only the qualifier who was freerolling.

and pros were jumping at the opportunity to be on the show - usually they would do it anyway for the tv time, but having a noob with 100k to lose would get most pros scrambling to do the show.

havent heard anything about them chopping, but thats not to say its not happening

Awesome clip!

Spoiler:

I love watching Phil get it in as a 7 to 1 favourite and getting quartered up. I swear to god he looks near tears!
