But i did some kickin of my own! I saw a blog by Markie about a razz tourney at 12"00. I luv razz and i decided to try and find it to play. I didnt realize it was going to be a RB freeroll. I should already have been asleep but i wanted to play it so i entered when i got the pw in my pm. I did pretty good right off the bat but i was nodding off while waiting for hands , so i entered a ftops satelite tourney to the main event on satto try and keep me awake. I still couldnt hang in the razz so i fished out , not on purpose but i didnt try very hard. then i noticed i was in 1st place in the ftops with 20 players left! God damn it if i didnt take it down! LIFE AT RAILBIRDS IS GOOD
My play ( or my luck ) has been pretty good the last couple days saw a lot of final tables and was close to or on the bubble in some more. I won Chimpys; BANANA 1 last night.

raymer if you want a better chance at cashing in an ftops with those 2,500 you won there is a 9man sng 2,500 ftp buyin that satelites to the $109 buyin. It's a step down the ftop ladder but there 8 people to beat rather than 4,228. That one you're in will fill to 5,000 entrants trust me.
i won a $1.25 45 man rebuy two days ago that shot me to the $109 buyin but I had to unregister cause me and the 2nd place finsher agreed to go 60 / 40 since 2nd place paid 2 dollars and 1st was 109 we thought it was fair but man now i am wishing i had said 70 / 30 lol
GL 2 U whatever you decide to do. Maybe go all way and win the $500,000 at the main event!!!
i"m not sure yet what i'll do apfjr but thanks for the advice ! I'll explore the options, but let me get this straight you won the 45 man taking first place and then you split it with 2nd place? What a very generous soul you are! I'm still digesting the win. I pulled my usual bonehead move in it with 4 left to go i was slight chip leader over the 2nd place player and i blew all but 2k of my chips in two bad back to back hands that i shouldnt have even been in
hands and had to claw my way back for the win
Way to go!
Razz is becoming one of my favorite games to play. I spend a lot of time in the play chips on razz. Almost every night a pro is playing at the 100/200 level.
Great job on the other games as well!
That's a nice run Raymer!! Well done!!!
congrats raymer you did great
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooot !!!! WTG RAYMER!!!!!!!! damn fine play!!!!!
MeowRawRr!!!!
yeah i split it with 2nd ray. I didn't enter the satelite with intentions of playing the 109 if I won, I enered cause I though 109 bucks was a kick butt payout for a tourny with just 45 people to beat.
Me and the other guy we about even in chips when we went HU. So I asked if he wanted to split it. By the time he answered he had a slight advantage and said 60/40 but we continue to play for the win. I ended up winning and transfered his cut to him. I caught him at a cash table to confirm he got it and he was so stoked.!!! I don't think he ever thought I was gonna go through with it and honestly didn't want to lol. But it really was fair to make that chop. We both faught through the field and 2 dollars for second place is hardly a reward
