Yeah you lasted the longest in that capped game, right? Nearly got there.
Won't be any shenanigans tonight, got stuff on tomorrow morning, so can't do another all nighter!

I’m sorry to interrupt this dialogue with a side question, but I was reading and I got a doubt: what’s the cap game? I saw it FTP while I’ve been playing there with my $20 ticket at cash game, but I couldn’t understand the different between it and the others. There’s a cap, I see it in the downer right corner, but when I translate that on any online traductor it never comes what I’m looking for, as this hasn’t got nothing to do with baseball hats. Can you give me a short definition of cap game in an understandable English for foreigners?

Posted by lukasb: Maximum number of entries is my guess Fakiry. 500 cap= only 500 players can enter, then the registration closes.
Yeah that's correct.
Yes, in the context I was referring too. However - Fakiry - what you saw was different. For ring/cash games "capped" means it's No Limit game - but the betting is 'capped' at a certain amount. For example you might be able to buyin for $100, but in each hand you may only be able to bet a maximum of $20.

its usually the pot they cap tho
I used to think that, but I was watching a capped game on stars a few days ago, like $50/$100 blinds or something - anyway - it didn't seem to be the pot that was capped, because each player had to figures on them - one was the the total amount they had and one was the amount left that they were allowed to bet..
So it seemed that it was each players contribution to the pot that was capped and the pot itself being capped was just a side-product of this.
I could be wrong though, I was only watching for a minute and I don't actually play these games myself.

well I think there are many different kinda cap'd games with all kinds if different rule's, But I could be wrong I dunno.... It seems these games are made for Big stack's to bully the small one's in the cash games tho, iv watched a few matches myself , but meh I like mtt's and tourneys cause every time I try and rinse some 1 playing a cash games I am the 1 that gets rinsed

I'll be perfectly blunt here - I don't really play that much poker these days, well - I do in a manner of speaking, to the view of anyone who isn't into poker at all, but by no means am I a 'grinder' any more and a probably put in about 10% of the volume that I used to..
Now - when I play big sessions like the other night - it tends to be because I'm hammered - I don't get bored playing when I am smashed..
So.. basically, if I get on the smack again tonight, then yes - I'll probably play again and probably even be in a generous mood again.. if not, well, we'll see.
That said, regardless of all of that, I wouldn't mind having a crack at one more (at least) TCOOP event!
------------ Oh also - I'm planning to have another crack at Table Ninja today at some point, probably in the next couple hours some time, although I've got to go out for an hour or so pretty soon as well.. But last time I used Table Ninja (after my first install of it) I managed to end up down 40BI (that's BUYINS :O) which was a bit un-nerving to say the least.. So I'm going to disable some of the features today (all the hot key stuff and auto-bet amount stuff) and basically only use it as a SNG-registering tool, but I'll do all my bet amounts the old-fashioned way and see if I get better results like that.. Last time to I set it to open 12 tables at a time and to keep running until I'd played a total of 20-50 games.. I'm going to bring that down a bit today as well, maybe set to only 6 tables at a time and to expire after 18 total or so.
