National Heads-Up Tournament

[xxmommaxx]

I always seem to miss the beginning of this yearly tourney on tv, because they never advertise it enough. It started this past Sunday on NBC. It aired at Noon est, in case anyone wants to catch it this Sunday.

They started with the Spades Bracket on Sunday. If you want to check out the schedule and other info, I found some good stuff at NBC Sports site. I think you can watch the first round also.

I won't mention the reults of that show yet, in case anyone hasn't seen it yet. Be back later.

Ya, I never seem to catch them all either and I really enjoy watching heads up, a lot of creative play and I love to see them trying to buy the pot when the other guy is slow-playing a monster.

yahhhhhhhhhh this is playful's favorite tourney 2 watch when she is able 2 catch it... can't seem 2 learn 2 much from the pro's though..all-in on 27 off wth..lol..

[xxmommaxx]

I KNOW.. damn donks anyway... lol!!!

That's why so many people play crap cards all the time, IMHO. They see a pro do it once in awhile on tv and they think that is what you do EVERY time.

I've never watched this event, though I always want to. Thanks for the heads up on it, I'll set a record series on my dvr and watch it when I have time. That's what I do for WSOP, they always put it on late at night and different times, this way I can watch it when I want and more than 1 day at a time.

I have been watching this since the start and I dont understand something, but I have never even played live before.

The last hand in the Helmuth vs Annette Obrestad match I just dont understand. Its seems like the straight on the board was obvious and helmuth just was going on and on about his sick calls and he cant image she would have anything and on and on until Annette called for a clock just to win with the straight.

This week they are going to show the quarter finals, too bad Phillips beats Brunson, I would of liked to have seen Duke vs Brunson. BTW DUKE must have thrown her lucky coins into the river because 2 of the 3 matches shown so far the river saved her 2x

The Ivey matches were just too funny, Ivey vs Smith (smiths comments to Ivey were too funny about how he wouldnt have a job if Ivey quit playing and sang an intro as Ivey came in)

The Ivey - Nguyen match was over the top funny. Nguyen about busted all in, Ivey all in doesnt even look at his pockets (the announcers and IVEY is happy with his cards without looking) and then Nguyen wins and wins and wins and Ivey looking more bewildeered each hand.

What happened to the Moon and Cada?

The Superstar Darvin Moon is coming to a charity event at the Daytona Dog track and Poker Room. 5 minutes away from me the 2nd place person in WSOP WOW

What is the deal with MOON, do the networks not want to show him or even mention him. Cada got on a featured table and Moon was barely mentioned except for the final hands of the 2 rounds he was in and that was it. Seems they would push 2nd place WSOP guy a little more than that
