WSOP Schedule, etc
Hey guys,
So the WSOP schedule came out this week and they have taken out "rebuys" as bracelet events. With some pro's clammering that they allowed people to buy a bracelet. What did the Player Committee do to decide to combat this problem? Add a $40,000 buyin and some $10,000s. Haha. Well done guys! That combats people buying a bracelet. The Player Committee is a bunch of the old guard with Negreanu being one of the youngest players on it. It really needs to be infused with some young players next year, it doesn't have to be a 20 yr old online phenom that doesn't play much live but at least have 4-5 players from the online generation. Its ridiculous as is. Anyway, I made my schedule for the WSOP which is below. I have included a lot of back to backs that obviously I cant play both if I make Day 2s, etc. But I am happy with this schedule as is, with some other Bellagio events added at my discretion. I am really planning on spending this summer more as a business trip then a vacation. Living with SLOPPYKLOD, Badgerpro, D1rtyR1ver, mman_status and Hoodini10 again this summer so it will be good to have a bunch of great players around all the time.
A VERY strange end to the $1k on FTP ( 2 updates, got the extra $$$)
I got HU in the FTP 1k today and after a crucial hand amassed a 10-1 chiplead when the FTP server decided to crash on me. The villain then stole all the way up to 1.2m and they paused it. I am hopeful that I get the equity I deserve and have sent this email to FTP. Do the right thing one time please FTP!!!
My email
Hello,
I got disconnected after hand #10146459559 in the Monday 1k. After this hand I held a chiplead of approximately 1.6million. The stacks were as follows:
WPThero: 1,885,472
Martand: 174,528
You will see in the HH that he began to quickly steal my blinds after I was disconnected. In full disclosure I attempted to have two friends login to see if they could connect. Usernames for them are xxxxxxxx and xxxxxxxxx. I feel as though the proper remedy for this result would be an equity chop from the point I disconnected. This chop would result in the following payouts:
WPThero: $99,683.97
Martand: $67,176.03
If this is not acceptable I suggest that possibly we reset stacks to that listed above and replay the tournament from there. I would be more then happy to do so. If this were an isolated incident where I was disconnected due to ISP problems then I would not be writing this letter. However, it is quite obvious, from the emailed tagged KMM10022384I15977L0KM and the following 2p2 thread:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/61...llo-1k-392673/
You can see I posted in this thread during the DC. Also, you can see that people are saying that he was stealing obviously from me. Your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated and I believe that both alternatives I have laid out are reasonable.

--------------------------
UPDATE: They credited me with 77k when it was voided or about 35% of the equity when I had 91% of the chips at DC. I am hopeful that they do the right thing and fix this since it is fairly obvious what happened and when.
UPDATE 2: FTP kicked in the extra $21k and gave me my equity at disconnect. I will likely post about this more in detail later
This is how you bubble an LAPC seat
This donk ran white hot in every spot at the FT except the one time he could have won me a seat. Beat my KQ on a QJ5 board when he donkshoved TT. Then lost ATs < JJ 3 handed where if he binked I would have won the seat and then this to screw me.

End of Day 2 of the PCA
I am sitting at 352k at the end of day 2 which should be middle of the pack heading into 3000/6000. I have not once, but twice been allin on the turn with a gutshot in this tournament and not once but twice hit my gutter both times. The 2nd being slightly embarrassing because I misread the board and after my shove was called announced that I had outs in the form of a double gutter. Shaniac was kind enough to point out that I was a retard and had a gutter but I binked anyway, ohhhh donkaments. I feel pretty good going into tomorrow, should be interesting to say the least. Will talk tomorrow guys.
Edit: I'd like to point out, that in both gutters I was shipping in on someone with significant fold equity. So I'm not a total donk.
