Unexpected Turn

I missed playing in WBCOOP.  I sent an email to PokerStars because I had two different starting times for the last qualifier yesterday.  I of course chose the wrong time.  I trusted the website to be correct.  It wasn't.

But something unexpected happened.  PokerStars sent me 300 FPPs and a ticket to play in a freeroll.  While not the WBCOOP, it was something.  What I really want to know is why there was a discrepancy in the starting times.  I am wondering if it was just me, or did other bloggers have the same thing happen to them.  If it did, I am somewhat surprised that I haven't heard anything about it.


I will be keeping an ear open to hear what PokerStars has to say.

To any of my readers who qualified for the WBCOOP main event today:  Congratulations and Good Luck!

Enjoy the Pokery Goodness!

Well, At Least I'm Consistent

In continuation of my previous post:

I was unable to play in yesterday's WBCOOP due to children playing on my computer.  So I was really looking forward to today.  According to PokerStars WBCOOP page  the tourney starts at 19:00.  OK, I have time.  I fire up PokerStars and look for the tournament.  I can't find it.  I request to see my tournament tickets.  At the top it shows the tickets, but below, it does not show the tournaments.

So then, I go to the email confirmation they sent me and gee, guess what?  They changed the tourney start time to 15:00.  Guess what else?  It is 17:30!  WOW!  Thanks PokerStars for making my first time playing at your site in over a year sooooo enjoyable.  Any to the bloggers who played; good luck tomorrow in the finals.  I didn't get my chance, but you have yours.

Enjoy the Pokery Goodness!

WBCOOP, So Far

So far I have played in exactly zero of the first four events.  Let's break this down shall we?

1. 1/24 event - did not have ticket in time to play
2. 1/25 event - busy applying for two jobs online
3. 1/26 event - too late in the evening
4. 1/27 event - remembered it too late to register

So there you have it.  My poker playing life in a nutshell.  Hopefully, I will be able to play today and tomorrow to try and qualify for the main event.  But who knows,  maybe I will goose-egg it.

Enjoy the Pokery Goodness

Hope to be There!
