Indeed, it was sad. But we'll use the $27 on the Eliminator, so won't lose a tourney and will give us lots to sweat Saturday/Sunday and then Day 2 on Monday.

Hey guys, I am pretty wrecked today, feeling quite ill. I am not going to play today and I'm thinking I might not be better by tomorrow either. I am going to refund the remaining events and do the payouts now. We do still have the $11 Phase Event on Monday morning which I will pay out after it finishes. But with refunds and winnings to date, everyone is in a slight profit and we still have the Phase event to come.

Bounties: $18.38
Prizes: $226.36
Refunds: $208.00
Total: $452.74

BarraBod & Jon (10%) = $45.27 each

Will update on Monday with Phase II results.

Eh? This is pretty annoying I would not have bought if the main was not in there. Pretty tilting

Well... I'm sorry, but I've slept a total of 3 hours since Friday morning and have been intermittently vomitting I think due to something I ate, but not 100% sure. You can clearly see I haven't played any tournaments today and likely won't tomorrow either, I'm not refunding to ultimately take my own action for the ME or anything. I realize it's not ideal, but we did turn a small profit, and the Phase event has become massive with nearly 50k (correction: $73K actually) for first now, so I just made the decision to rest this weekend and hope to recover by Monday morning.

Obviously disappointing but if your ill then fair enough.

Update: I am feeling a little better. I haven't been physically sick since about 1 PM today and I even managed to eat some soup for dinner and seem to be keeping it down. Obviously, I want to play tomorrow if I can. They are two great, deep stack events that should be high value for me. But I am responsible still for the largest share of the money and I don't want to put up that money if I don't feel like I can play my A game.

So if I can get a full night's sleep tonight and I wake up feeling mostly recovered, I will likely fire a standard session from Noon until 5 PM and I'll include the $27, 200K 8max and the ME. Obviously, I have already processed refunds, and to be honest, I didn't expect you guys to be as disappointed given the stake is a winner already and we have min-cashed locked up in the Phase 2, but it's cool, I understand and so I'll attempt to play if I can. But only if I can play well in my estimation.

As for the $12.70 that each of you would owe for the 10% of the two events I already refunded, if I feel up to a session and you want me to play still in the AM, then you can either just send it back to me OR we can just wait until all 3 events finish and I can take it off whatever profits I'd owe you for cashes in those events and settle up at the end.

OK... time for bed, I will check the site in morning to see your thoughts.

Hey guys,

Got a pretty decent night's sleep, feeling OK. I will play my regular session today at Noon, I haven't heard back obviously, so at this point I will just assume I am on my own now, which means I'll be skipping the ME, but will likely flick in the $27, 200k, 8-max event, which is fine. Of course, we still have the Phase 2 event tomorrow at 9:30 AM EST. So, I guess I will see you guys for updates on that during breaks.

Thanks for the package, hopefully we can seal it with a nice finish tomorrow and again I apologize that this weekend didn't go as planned, but at least nobody is out any money and we still have one more shot at a big score.

So this whole weekend just got completely botched. Didn't even get to play yesterday at all, my computer went tits up and I was forced to do a full reset and reload that didn't finish until around 3:30 in the afternoon and by then I was just fed up with it and decided to skip everything and wait for the Phase 2.

So it starts at 9:30 AM. Min cash is $22 and we have that locked up and 22 BB to try to spin up to a dream with 6 figures for 1st!

Vamos!

Thanks man, it does suck about this weekend going as it did, I was really hoping to grab that double up and have a nice stack to take a run at that event, but not to be! Apparently Micro-Millions is going to be back in July, and there are always Series on other sites, which I may be moving some of my volume to anyway, so possibly will do some packages in the future.

Take care!

Yo

Sorry just want to clear up my disappointment with you not playing the main.

As a backer/someone who buys pieces I will often do it when it comes to tournis for the big bink....none of your tournaments were that big apart from the main but I like to buy. your a good guy and a great player so was in for it all but I did like the idea of sweating the big one. So when you don't play it then my care for it does go somewhat out of the window.

In the past you cancelled a fair few tournaments so honestly I didn't even read the bit about you being ill i just saw cancelled and started to type.

FWIW will buy again but yeh that's why I wasn't happy.

^ Thanks, I appreciate you writing to clarify. That's fair, I have cancelled packages for various reasons in the past "just because" so to speak, but in this instance, it was not the case. I, too, wanted to play it. And maybe I shouldn't have been so quick to bail on the weekend but given how I was feeling at the moment, I was concerned I'd just end up being MIA all weekend and leave you guys wondering what happened. And as it turned out, I didn't get to play Sunday due to computer issues that would've put an end to those plans to play anyway.

But I'm glad you're open to buying again, as I said I'll probably come back here first for any interesting series that come up and we'll try again for that big bink.

PS - Appreciate the confidence boost there re: my poker skills... been a fairly flat year MTT-wise to date, not good, not bad, but it does get frustrating sometimes.
