Private Tournaments: MBJ Leaderboard Spreadsheet & Webpage

Pete, any word on when the leaderboard will be back online?

I apologize for my immature behavior. I do respect all of the forumers. And most of you are very good players, most likely better than me

I mostly kid around, but sometimes my temper does get in the way. But I wish I wouldn't be judged solely on the times I run amok. I have tried to offer thoughtful advice to many posts, I often take a lot of time to craft my replies. I hope I've been helpful, or at least have stimulated thought in some instances.

I'd like to think I have a decent rapport with a few of you that understand that I mostly like to joke around and that I do get remorseful when I go too far. Cubbies has his/her mind made up...I respect that. But I wish the holier-than-thou attitude could get dropped.

Best of luck to all of you in the coming weeks.

Thanks craig, but unlike you, I was very fortunate. Got dealt some great starting hands, QQ, KK, or AA maybe a total of 6 or 7 times throughout the tournament.

But I had one or two over the past few weeks where I just couldn't get it going because I was card dead...very frustrating! And even more so, when people just raise, raise, raise. That said, I don't think re-raising with AK is such a bad play...it's a great showdown hand. If the guy's shove was a massive overbet, ok, maybe that's bad...but if not, I think he played it well. AK is great for raising and re-raising, it's really a fold equity type hand in my opinion. And if you do get called, you usually want to see all 5 cards...it's not a race against an underpair when you only get to see a flop.

But sorry to hear about your bad run. You're a strong player, once you get some cards, you'll turn it around. You're still doing well overall. See you next week!

Happy Holidays All,

If I am understanding this right, will this now actually be a 22 week session, with the next two weeks not counting or..............?

cool

I am going to send Gypsydc the results for MBJ Season 3. It will be in Excel, so just ask her for it (in a few hours).

that does look amazing. and im actually on it. i played one of these (poorly) thats kinda kool. ill join seriously some day.

That seems correct. These next 2 weeks will not count toward the leaderboard, so it's kind of like a 2 week winter break.

What you seem to be overlooking, Phoenix, is the fact that all of this began with this thread....shortly after you sent me a PM regarding the flame war with craig.

Then you continued to use the PM feature to blast other's play. Everything ensued from there.

I don't claim to know you because I have absolutely no desire to know you. You have displayed some characteristics through this whole ordeal that I really don't like. I cannot respect a player who cannot control his temper. When you fire off a PM (because you're chat banned, obv.) during the middle of a game blasting my/others play, that just shows how much of a cry baby you are.

You then try to backtrack by using the forum to make yourself appear to be the better man.

I have never personally attacked anyone in this forum without a good reason for it. You have brought it upon yourself.

With that being said, I think that you're a very good player. I just wish that you had been able to handle your latest successes while showing some humility and respect for your fellow forumers.

cool

Well, I didn't know of this series until Week 5, so I have already missed 4! Need to play when I'm around to ensure I get 15 events in.

But I am ok with tonight's not counting. I'd just prefer to hear word in advance, if at all possible.

Wow, what an unprecedented run of greatness. I am currently listening to the Mr. Perfect theme song. I think it's fitting.

Good game Man of Steel, you were a worthy adversary. Sorry I didn't see cubbies at the final table.

Sometimes it takes a few days. I'm certain that TR adds them manually whenever he gets around to it.

Well Done.

Yeah, just means you cant make up ground or lose any ground tonight. Standings will be left blank and week 11 will be in two weeks. 22 weeks is really long though, its just about half a year.

You continue to prove my points as your arrogance gets stronger week after week. You'd be earning much more respect if you were able to take this great run that your experiencing without boasting and feeling the need to put every other player down just so that you can reassure your elitist attitude.

I didn't make the Final Table because of unfortunate timing when I shoved with AQs against a player who had been raising alot against a short-handed table. The player behind me who hadn't entered the pot yet happened to wake up with AA.

I'm not judgmental of your play, or your game....I only point these things out because you carry yourself with very little class in a fun-spirited league that's suppose to be in the spirit of competition.

Here are a few of your greatest pieces, you classy guy:

Wow, what an unprecedented run of greatness. I am currently listening to the Mr. Perfect theme song. I think it's fitting.

Sorry I didn't see cubbies at the final table.

Just keep showing up each week so I can take your chips.

I'll just keep dominating like I do every week and I'll win this thing one of these days. Congrats on your finish. What'd that pay? -$5.50?

Haha, think what you want. Better luck next week. Maybe read up on how to play.

Good game, wish I could have been the one to have the honor of felting you...

You like to re-raise eh? Think you're f***ing tough? Keep it up you goddamn maniac.

Are you a four-time heads up finalist this season?

I'm willing to let things go, as I see that you realize some of my points.

As I've stated on numerous occasions, your advice seems quite sound, and even advanced compared to some of the generic advice given in this forum (which I'm sometimes guilty of ).

I'm certain that this forum also appreciates the time and effort that you usually put into each of your poker-related posts.

My holier-than-thou attitude seems to be a misinterpretation of me simply trying to point out some of the remarks that you've made that appear to be condescending and arrogant.

Let's agree to disagree on some things, and move on.

I guess it's better than wearing the Golddust T-shirt.

I was doing pretty well .. then my AA ran into KK

I was still doing ok then my AK ran into AT.... both preflop.

Ship happens

Thanks mzbuns... I actually added the money won into the leaderboard a few weeks ago for those interested in seeing that... it was fairly easy to set up.

But you're right, the money won has nothing to do with the rankings.

Not being snarky, just honest. You tried to raise to put pressure on me, knowing that if I pushed, you would "have to call" with a range that was likely to be behind. Did you read that in Jamie Gold's book? And no, I'm not a 4-times heads up finalist this season, because:

a) I've only played 2 games

b) I haven't run like god.

If you really think you can get HU 4 times (out of 8 I think) without an unholy amount of luck being involved, then your arrogance is only exceeded by your idiocy.

Pete D, I was planning on converting all the data into a spreadsheet, for I knew that, within a few weeks, all the numbers would look like one big mess.

The only reason I have put off converting Season Three's data into a spreadsheet was because, well, I don't know how to do it. I was planning on learning eventually, because Excel is obviously one of the more popular programs out there, but I kept putting it off until later.

If you'd like, you can go ahead and convert all the data into that format (which looks great btw), then send it to me. However, once you do send that spreadsheet over, I'd appreciate if you helped me become acquainted with the program so that I could continue with my responsibilities for the rest of the season. After all, Rick compensated me for the work I promised him I'd do, and it wouldn't be fair to him if I started to dump the majority of the work off to somebody else.

Thanks for your help, and email me (whenever you're done) at .

Hope more people start showing up again in the future weeks...in a 17-person tourney, anything less than like 3rd kinda sucks for the points total.

In the future, maybe the points system could be changed. I play in a live circuit with friends and we try to make the points system in such a way that like 5th in a 9 person game is similar to like 8th in a 15 person game. We do make higher finishes count for a little more when we have like 12 people out vs. like 6, but also try to adjust every other spot.

I'm maybe just being a baby, but 6th out of 17 is like 20th out of 31 and that doesn't really seem right to me. Your points should be based more on the percentage of players in the tourney you outlast, not just the absolute number you outlast.

Just a suggestion. Still loving the series and my 6th place shot me into 1st overall. Woohoo! Not sure it'll last though, I tend to crack under pressure.

Nice river by the way KronX

I'll assume this week counts toward the leaderboard...

The season resumes.

I'm so sick of having a slow connection...........I could **** scream!! I disconnected in 4th or 5th in the MBJ and couldn't reconnect......goddammit!!!!
