WSOB - Durant, OK

Nice little surprise offered for the Dec. 16th finals at Choctaw casino in Durant, OK.

I was just called from Choctaw and asked if I wanted a free room on Dec. 15th or $100 free play? Then I was told I'll get a $100 free play on the 16th as well since I have qualified for their WSOB finals.

Now if you don't take the free room for the 15th you'll get $200 in free play.

The entry fee for their WSOB qualifiers is only $60 and they give you a half off coupon (-$30) for you first try and offer re-buys for $45 each (you can buy in for all six rounds in advance if you want.

This is really a hell of a deal. I didn't know anything about the $100 free play offer until five minutes ago.

Since I already got a room up there for the 15th and 16th, I took the free $200 play.

Added bonus, if you come in early on Friday Dec. 15th, they are giving away two tickets to see Jerry Lee Lewis (the Killer) in concert that night.

Even if your not a Jerry lee Lewis fan, the price is right...LOL

As far as I know the only members from BJT.com to qualify here is: Easttexaspro, Swog, LadyG, themom82, and myself.

I picked up UTVOLFAN today at the airport and he is up there playing tonight. Maxwell will be there next weekend. Good luck to both of them.

Next week will be the last weekend to qualify at Choctaw.

 

Choctaw

YES I NEED ALL THE LUCK I CAN GET MAYBE I COULD RECEIVE A INDIAN WAR DANCE-I HAVE 2 SHOTS LEFT TO QUALIFY-ON THE POSITIVE SIDE I DO BELEIVE I WILL QUALIFY THIS WEEKEND- IF NOT IT WILL BE A LONG 12 MONTHS TILL NEXT YEAR:1st: :2nd: ANY 1ST OR SECOND COUNTS

 

I go by hopinglarry and I got lucky and qualified for the Dec 16 finals, in the new casino, last night in Durant.

Maxwell was in the finals in the old casino in Durant and I understand the Assassin qualified from that final table for the Dec 16 finals.

Congratulation guys

Nice going winning your WSOB qualifying seats over the weekend Hopinglarry and Assissan. I guess we can all meet up next weekend for the finals.

As I posted earlier, Easttxpro, Ladyg, Swog, Themom82, and TXtourplayer (me) are all qualified for next weekend.

Good luck to all.

 

Durant Update

TXtourplayer:

Here's a Choctaw casino update for BJT.com members --

Both Maxwell and Hoping Larry were in Durant both Friday and Saturday to attempt to qualify for the 108 person playoff on Dec 16th. Unfortunately, neither one qualified Friday. However, one of your members/readers/viewers did, hitting a BJ on the final hand after the 2nd knockout. As they were qualifying 2 players that night, he was only shooting for second place after the 2nd knockout card was played. That lucky SOB was me!!

On Saturday, both Larry and Maxwell qualified for the final tables (notice the plural), one at the old casino and the other at the new casino. Unfortunately, Maxwell's attempt fell short. Hoping Larry finished second in the new casino and will be playing in the tournament next Saturday.

Now, as for that $200 you mentioned. It's only $100. You will only get the lesser amount in free play or a free room, at least according to the tournament director, Dave Peters. From his mouth to the ears of dozens of eager listeners on this past Friday and Saturday. If you question my hearing, just ask Maxwell and/or Hoping Larry.

With regard to the Grand Prize, which I understand you already, mistakingly, claimed, HA!!! That check already has my name printed on it in ink; it has been pre-ordained. You and the 106 others need to recognize that you are all playing for second place and adjust your play accordingly. Arrogance -- no; fact -- yes.

See ya' in Oklahoma on Friday.

SteveM

 

Not sure what you are talking about?

Stevem if you won a qualifying seat this weekend congratulations, as far as me (and others) congratulating the Assissan, it was from information posted from earlier posts.

As far as the $100 free play per day and or free room, I only posted what I was told when called by Choctaw. I know I took a free room and $100 for myself next weekend.

And last I have no idea what you are talking about in regards to the Grand Prize. The only thing I have ever posted is when and where the qualifiers are and who has made them and wished all of those who have good luck.

I would ever say anything about winning a tournament before hand and chance looking foolish if I didn't. You must have been mis-informed.

Only guarantee for next weekend is someone WILL win a seat for the WSOB in Durant, OK.

 

Sorry Steve but I couldn't remember your handle or I would have mentioned your name.

It had nothing to do with you getting the BJ that pushed me into third on Friday night.

See you Saturday.

Larry

 

By the way, someone might have a small memory problem on a prior statement.

"I just need to warn you about one thing, I am going to win the WSOB seat up there, I just thought I would tell y'all in advance and save you the trip...LOL

Joking not fact

I stand corrected Hopinglarry, I thought Stevem was talking about some statement like he made, not some post where I was joking around and even put a LOL at the end.

 

I am pretty sure that everybody is joking here, since I played against Steve Wednesday and Friday.

This thing is almost as bad as a lottery.

Most rounds were 14 or 15 hands total with the first knockout coming on 4th or 5th hand and the second knockout 3 to 5 hands later.

People doubled and split all kinds of combinations of hands no matter what dealer had showing even if they didn't need it.

I got in only because I won a double down with a 13 on the last hand, but twice I lost because someone else won on a double down 13.

My oponents getting 13 on the last hand scares me.

WELL IT WAS A LONG DRIVE BACK TO HOUSTON AFTER A BAD FINAL HAND SATURADAY- HIND SITE BEING 20/20 I SHOULD HAVE STAYED WITH MY GAME PLAN AND I WOULD HAVE QUALIFYED - IT WAS NICE TO MEET PEOPLE FROM THE SITE AND SURPRISING TO SEE THE ASSASIN AND HIS BROTHER COME IN TO PLAY IN OKLAHOMA A LONGER DRIVE THAN MINE-I CANNOT COMPLAIN MY PLAY WAS GOOD SO I AM TOLD FROM PLAYERS PIT BOSSES AND THE LIKE-I WENT TO OKLAHOMA 3 TIMES AND MADE IT TO THE FINAL TABLE 5 OUT OF 6 TIMES AT LEAST THERE IS SOME CONSISTANCY IN MY PLAY THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP I HAVE RECEIVED FROM THIS SITE AND ITS MEMBERS TO MAKE MY PLAY BETTER-COMPARED TO LAST YEAR AT THIS TIME THERE IS NO COMPARISON A BETTER PLAYER INDEED AGAIN THANKS FROM ALL WHO HAVE GIVEN THERE THOUGHTS AND SUGGESTIONS ON THIS SITE-I WILL HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER YEAR NOW FOR THE NEXT WSOB UNLKESS THERE ARE QUALIFYERS IN LAKE CHARLES,LOUISIANA:sad: :sad:

GOOD LUCK TO ALL THAT QUALIFYED FOR THIS WEEKEND AND BE SURE TO LET US ALL KNOW HOW EVERYBODY DOES WISH I COULD BE THERE

 

I only played one round at the old casino and was eliminated on the 4th hand.

The hand is memorial for the statistical improbability.

Dealer has a 3 up. Four people are dealt 20, one person hits to 20. I have 18.

Dealer hits to 19, the one total that allows 4 people to go around me in chips. I would not have been eliminated with any other dealer total.

I don't know what the odds are, but it would be very small.

Larry

 

boy oh boy what a ride it has been!!

after driving 13 hours to Durant from minnesota the Assassin has earned a spot at the finals this weekend. It should be an interesting ride back to Oklahoma on friday!!!

 

Congrats to the ASSASSIN!!!

Sorry to hear more members didn't qualify but keep your chin up. There's always another day, another time. Don't you just love this game?. Keeps the heart beating faster and that's healthy, no?

 

stats

12.52%. I feel for you man.

Cheers

Durant WSOB finals

Okay after all the confusion about the free play money and hotel situation in Durant for this weekend, I called up to confirm what was what!

If you go up on Friday you get a free hotel room, $50 in casino play chip, plus free meal and tickets to see Jerry Lee Lewis in concert.

If you you go up on Friday, but don't need a hotel room you get an extra $100 in casino play chips.

Plus you get your free casino play chips on Sat. as well.

If you just wait and go up on Sat. you get $100 in casino play chips ($50 for each day).

At least that is what I was told today. I hope this is correct, I was thinking I would get my room + $100 in play chips, this way I get an extra $50 in play chips.

O'well guess I'll find out for sure on Friday.

 

WSOB - Durant

I, for one, was pleased to meet HopingLarry, Maxwell, and the Assassin this past Friday/Saturday in Durant.

I am glad that the Assassin and his brother made it safely back to Minnessota and hope they have a safe trip back to Oklahoma this Friday.

Maxwell, I was sure rooting for you to qualify and I am glad that you made it back to Houston safely. It was a pleasure. I hope we can do it again, but with better success for you next time.

Larry, I guess you will not be with us on Friday night. I will look for you on Saturday.

TxTourplayer and you other BJT.com folks going back to Durant this weekend, including those mentioned above, good luck to all of you.

SteveM

 

Nice thought...

Wouldn't it be nice to have a final table with all BJT.com players...LOL

Hopefully we well have few on the final table anyway and more important have the over all winner.
