You will be registered at the tourney automatically. You just need to turn up a few minutes before it starts.

You can get yourself in by following the instructions on the Freeroll Tournaments page. In case you can't find the red link on the left all you need to do is:

1) click through to doyles via this site
2) register as a real money player via the cashier (no deposit required)
3) do so before registration closes tonight - Saturday is too late
4) turn up before 7pm eastern on Sat

If you don't do 1-3 then don't bother with 4 either.

The downside of organising these tourneys is that I get hundreds of emails and forum posts from people wanting me to sort it out for you. I CANT - you have to follow the instructions before midnight Friday or you won't be playing.

Well, I thought I was up against a rookie, we were just pretty much both collecting blinds from the sitouts

I had already figure out during the first 30 hands that this kid won't call or bet the blinds unless he's holding pockets or A\K..
It was just me and him, everyone else were sitouts and disconnects at the table 10 seated.

I'm dealt Q/10 suited... He's big blind at 100 so I bet the 50...
He raises 200... and I call it...
Flop brings 5 Q J ...
I want to bet big to try and steal it early, thinking the kid will fold... His raise tells me he's got A/K or paired...I don't know why but I decide to go ahead and check to him....
he bets 650

I'm thinking he's got A/K or paired Q's or J's .. I feel my 10 kicker is pretty strong with Q high pair .....I better push hard and fast to make him think about "my" hand instead of his.... So I raise hard to 1300 Remember it's still very early in the game ....

What? The kid goes All-in?

My gut drops....
I think about the chat message I posted to him several hands earlier, I said "You only play pockets and A/K don't you?"
He said "Yep" ...

I think...All-in instead of calling my raise?...
Well, knowing it's too late now and I'm pot committed with Q high pair and a good lookin 10 kicker...and I still having the turn and river as my best friends.

"Yep" "Yep" "Yep" "Yep" I'm now shaking the Yep's out of my head all-in?.... He's got to have pockets no other hand.. I knew it did'nt really matter if they were the 5's at this point... I looked at my 1200 chips left and said no real big brainer....no choice... I'm All-in for the roll of the dice now.

BLING... it shows his pocket J's laughing at me, I can't take my eyes off of them.... and the kids got to be laughin at my call by now...

The turn card hangs and is really slow coming.... the turn is a 9
I'm thinking OK OK the river is gunna bring me my K...
The river card is really slow to come too
BLING....it's an A

I'm out

How many times do you see on-line play end with a river straight ..........alot from my experience

The Kid's screen name at Doyles is Darkaz619 as I leave the tourney way too early at 67th..... nothing much to brag about...

The one thing that confused me about the kids play was......

If I folded preflop he would not call or raise the sitouts and would fold the hand... I could'nt bare it anymore and told him "Raise the sitouts"... he said "Ok"
He raised them once or twice, and then did it again... folded 250 to sitouts a couple more times......

I'm wanting now to raise the blinds every hand.... i mean if he was going to keep folding to sitouts and waste 250 a hand...I almost have too...

So when I saw his All-in It really made me think..... he's got to be kidding to go all-in against my raise...... a bluff? He did have double the amount of chips maybe he's bluffing.
A set of J's in a rookies hand is nothing but dangerous.

He's looking at placing in the top 10 as I just checked the tables... so good job Darkaz169... you took me out with a hand that you had already told me you would most likely be holding as soon as you called the blinds. Nice hand.

If ya can't figure the rookies out and don't understand how come they continue to keep folding to sitouts.. don't ever call all-in early with only high pair like I did.... my better judgement would have never allow it later at the final tables ......

See ya all next month's $1000.00 freeroll.... Goodluck at the tables!

Dark is a rookie - he was hoping for a $30 win and he did much better in the end. He doubled up on me at the final table with a A9 suckout on the river against my AQ, but luck like that does not last.

are for real damm so whats the amount that you can cash out?

onemore · Posted: Sun Sep 03, 2006 8:26 am Post subject:

You should be able to cashout the whole lot when you wish. As this is the 1st time freeroll was held in this room they might not be aware of this rule. I think the webmaster is trying to sort it out.
