if I hadn't donked my way out on the bubble time before last, I'd be well ahead of you still Vatche...

but no matter, I have faith... faith that your wheels will fly off again and I'll cruise on to finish well in the lead

seriously, good luck bro! at least we have something to play for these last 2 tournies!!!

i right on ur assing bro!!! ...lolll...were still in it, all we have to do is finish 1 2 in the next 2 and well both make it.

Do the chipsets have a bite taken out of them like in the logo? Cause that would be awesome.

Sorry, there is a pic of Vegas on the chips, they were designed and made well before the new fullcontact logo was made.

If you are lucky enough to win a set though, Daniel will autograph the case with marker on the outside, making it one your more prized possesions and the envy of all the kids your class.

ARE ALL THE CHIPS, PLASTIC OR CLAY. I HEARD CHIPS ARE MADE BY THE SAME COMPANY.

Good Luck !!!!

I cant see betfred refferal link when i visit that site above. Can anyone help

I'll help, don't click on it. It's spam.

oh ok. I did actually find betfred in the end through that. Took me ages though. Its alot more easy just to type www.betfred.com lol

March 22nd tournament is open for registrations

This one is actually turning into a close finish, figured I was out of it but after getting second last week looks like I will only have myself to blame if I donk out early.
Then I also though DNA had a top 9 lock

Oh I'll be in the top 9 one way or the other

I knew it, I knew it, its friggin rigged.
I had heard a rumour that kidpoker was making a late run for the top 9, I kinda blew that off as one of them there internet rumours, now I aint so sure.

Hey guys, good luck to everybody on Wednesday-I can't make it because I got tricked into joining a softball league that plays on Wednesday nights. Doh...

just cause women can threaten not to let you see them naked, they hold all the power!

man i thought i registered for a 10+1 negreanu open toruney yesterday, but i can't remember when it was or anything...i hate registering for tourneys then not playing them, argh. ah i see i didnt miss it, nevermind then

Bump.(for DNA)

DNA, do u know whats the highest number of entrants in a neg o?

daniel just losta pot with a set of aces to a straight and he called his own site rigged

great

back to back final tables for me...4 handed and i loose a 90k pot with kk vs QQ...my kings hold up and i win the tourny. ...oh well, there was nothing velkro or i couldve done with thoise hands, either a bad beat 4 me or a cooler for velkro...somebody had to get unlucky...congrats Velkro.

Good job on the 4th pl finish last night, I kinda sucked real bad and should have known I was beat before pushing all in.
I could not catch a break, on three occasions I made good raises pre flop and had at least 2 callers, and then went on to miss the flop, example, me 99 raise, flop A Q J

Doing my quick math looks like you are close to breaking into the top 20, with me being close to dropping out of the top 20.

Hey Vatche,

When you called my A7 all-in with your 76, you said afterward something about being priced to call... I didnt catch all you said, but anyway... I'm just curious how you figured this out. If I remember corectly, I had about 3200 to your 22,000 and you had 600 in from BB.

I'm just trying to work on my 'math skills' and I figured you could explain this to me fairly quickly. This is a sincere post, I'm not trying to rag you out or anything...

Thanks dude.

Having played a fair shares of games against Vatche in the Protege tournaments (way too much if you ask me!), I am guessing that he was reasoning that you had 2 overs vs. his 2 live cards. Assuming neither of you held soooted cards, he was roughly a 38% dog preflop. Looks like you pushed with 3,200 and assuming SB folded, there was at least 4,100 (3200 + 300 SB + 600 BB) in the pot and it was costing him another 2,600 to call from the BB, which offered him roughly 1.6 to 1 (more if there were dead money in the pot other than from the SB) and sufficient pot odds if he was indeed only a 38% dog.

Then again, I could be over-analyzing his thought process here since he's called me off in the same situation with 2 3 off (and won) so 7 6 might just be a no-brainer call for the "Suck-Out Artist"

hey ignition...

i had between 35k-40k(cant remember)...i dont remember how much u had, but i remember looking down at the pot amount and call amount and i was getting 2 to 1 to make the call...was it questionable, ya, but not a donk play...if i known u had me dominated, obvioulsly i wouldve dumped it...tough hand for u to go out on.

as far as ur play goes...u waited too long to go all in and got dwindled and lost ur fold equity...its much better to push from mid-late position with rags(as long as ur the 1st one in the pot) while u still have fold equity than to push UTG with a weak Ace knowing the bb has a huge stack and is getting laid 2 to 1...

nice playing with u, hope to see u next week.




lolll...just trying to live up to the tittle bro.



i think ur still in the top 20, and i think im going to be 20th or 21st...i think im going to need to top 3 to make it...

gl to u next week.

Thanks guys. Yeah, it sucked going out like that... next week hopefully, not sure if I'll be available to play.

GG.

Later.

I know everyone is anxious to see the updated leaderboard and I apologize its been a crazy last few days. I am heading out of town for the weekend so theres a chance it may not get updated til Monday, but if I get time when I'm in Indianapolis this weekend I'll get it updated.

For now here are the individual tournament results. I know there are several people that will be fighting for a top 9 position with just one tournament to go and I promise to have the cumulative stats on the leaderboard before the next tournament so you will know exactly where you stand and how you need to finish.

The leaderboard cumulative results is up to date as of last week so you can take those numbers and add these numbers to get a good idea of where you stand for now .....

Even though I did kinda lousy, it looks like I'm only going to drop one spot to 6th. VelkroFCP is going to jump in front of me by about 3 points.

Man, this thing is getting tight.

pretty early, Vatche was dead to a two-outer, I believe and he caught it on the river...

so the suck out artist, certainly lives on!

He played excellent after that though.. so mad props to him!!!!


On the other hand, my A's were cracked by T's when a T hit the river...

Oh, this isn't the bad beat forum?!?! Sorry!

get ur facts straight, it was a 3 outer!

i had less than 700 chips with the blinds at 25-50...i raised with AQ suited from the bb... when the button called, i knew i was going all in on the flop weather i missed or hit, he beat me in the pot with top pr, and i rivered an Ace.

back from indianapolis, the leaderboard website has been updated with the March 22nd info. Gonna be a real close finish. Good luck

Just wondering who won the shirt/hat last week?

I agree

Sorry guys last weeks hat/shirt winner was #31 Wiggleworth, see me with your contact information. I thought I posted that already, but I guess I didnt

Tonight is last tournament for this leaderboard period. Good Luck.

Would it be bad etiquette to to play this one if you haven't been playing this period?

not at all...

I don't think so but you probably don't have much of a chance to make the top 9

I was going to play today but I am way down in 220 or something so I am going to wait till next week and start fresh.

Good Luck if you do play and maybe you can bust Daniel. I played on his table last week and I played like a complete donkey. We got busted together on the same hand by pocket3s.

That's my claim to fame, I got busted at the same time as DN

wowww...seconde week in a row i go out with KK vs an under pr all in pre flop...13k pot and i loose...final table chips...im so mad right now.

i needed a strong finish today.

thios is whatr happens when ur a donk that averages 24 pts per neg-o in the 1st 8 and wait for the last 3 weeks to make a run...

not only will i make top 9 next period, but i will be # 1...i gauruntee it...someone quote me for evidence.

Went out in 66th with the dumbest play I've made in years, but I think I may have managed to stay in the top 9.

Can't believe I played as bad as I did. Yuck!

I know how you feel, Daniel knocked me out when my QQ ran into his A8, he gets two 8's on the flop and to rub salt into it he fills up on the flush on the river, that was like two big hands in a row where I had QQ and they could not hold up.

I haven't seen the final results but I'm so bummed. I was in 9th and donked out fairly early again.

AQs lost to 44 all in preflop
AQs lost to KQo all in preflop
AK lost to 88 all in on an A high flop, he rivered an 8

Meh, couldn't win a hand for nothing.

Oh well, next time I won't miss 2 weeks....

OK Gang the first quarter of the 2006 Negreanu Open is official over and the results have been posted on the leaderboard website at http://www.negreanuopen.com

Here are the final top 9 for this first quarter ...

Place Name Points

Congratulations. Each of you have won your choice of an autographed FCP chipset or autographed custom FCP hockey jersey. I need each of you to PM me your name, address, choice of prize. If you choose a hockey jersey I need to know the size you want and the username you want printed on the back.

Please keep in mind that since the hockey jerseys are custom made and due to Daniels crazy travel schedule it could take up to 6 weeks to receive them.

The above top 9 will also be joining Daniel Negreanu himself in a 10 person SnG for bragging rights of first quarter Negreanu Open Champion. Just incase bragging rights are enough for you I just hung up with Daniels business team and there will also be a $200 REAL money Winner Take All Prize for this SnG. This will be a freeroll that you will receive tickets for as soon as its set up. I will be setting up the time and day with him soon and will post that information here as soon as its confirmed.

Here are some stats for the first quarter's tournaments:

There were 474 Unique players and a total of 1252 buyins over 11 tournaments. 270 of the 474 players only played 1 tournament. Only 15 people played in all 11 tournaments and 5 of those 15 were in the top 9.

Next Wednesday will be the first tournament for the 2nd leaderboard period so its a great chance to start over with 0 points and get involved if you havent played yet.

Stay tuned to this thread for any further details or updates ....

RIGGED....didnt the free tee shirt winner also knock DN out this week to collect the bounty ?

LOL I dont know I dont keep up with the bounty part, Daniel does that himself. If so its completely coincidental.

And if this was really rigged I would be in top 9 again not 13th! #$@%@$@#$

Just cause you suck at riggin dont mean it aint

happy birthday.

thankyou

After talking with the FCP Store heres a few more details if any of the top 9 choose the Hockey Jerseys....

Besides size and username you can also choose your own number for the back. There are also two color choices, Blue or Purple.

Sizes run from S to XXL and run a "little bit" big.

So please include this info when you send me your PM

Props out to DNA for organizing this event. :clappinghandsface:


I'm sure of his share of the rake more than offsets his cost of his website.
:justkiddingface:



The fact that kidpoker has joined in weekly, when possible, has also made this even more fun.

How big is the field usually. I think I will try my hand at it starting next week. Sounds fun either way.

So, anybody have a link to a photo of the hockey jersey's and chipsets. What kind of chips are they and how many chips are included?

Didn't see either one at the FCP store.

Thank you sir.

usually 80 - 150

You can check the website and click on each individual tournament to see how many people played in each one.



There are no images yet of the FCP Chip sets, but its my understanding they are the exact same set up (chip counts, dealer button, SB, BB, etc) as the Daniel Negreanu chipset except they have the FCP chip bite logo. They are 11.5 gram clay composite. I am waiting 100% confirmation on this.

The FCP Chipsets are not scheduled to be in the store until tentatively April 22nd so that would be the earliest they would ship. If you would rather substite for a Daniel Negreanu chipset I can do that because those are available now.
