Dear NWCougar,

You finished the tournament in 1st place.
A $1,106.17 award has been credited to your Real Money account.

Got 1st in a prima $10, $4000 guarantee for a $1000 win

Of course, the WSOP package
I've finished 9th in a $35, $7500 on Prima, paid something like 145 or so, I was too pissed off to know how much I made.
Let's see, I've played the Deep Stacks tournament on Pokerstars three times now, all had 1100 person fields. I got 71st, 92nd and I think 278th respectively.
Finshed I think 110th or so, in a $20 Stars tourney which had over 1000 players. Again, too upset to sort out how much I made, if at all.

Can anyone beat this one??

Party $20K freeroll last night( 250 raked hands required previous day ) . 760 players

I can't beat that but I was quite happy with my Poker Stars performance.

Was a 30 fpp, with the top 5 getting a free entry into Saturdays (22) tourney (price is 3k FPPs to enter otherwise) where the top 2 will get $1k and a $5250 seat in the Ireland Tourney and places 6-8 some FPPs


Was 510 entries and fniished in the winners circle. Had an amazing 20 for 21 run on the showdowns to get to the final table. Hard to describe it but was like every read or move I made was right....I am sure it will never happen again LOL.

The best part was one player crowing how this was his tournament and he was going all the way....he finished 9th, out of the money, was priceless.

I think I will cash out of the other tourney and get the 3k Fpps added to my account and use them for cash tourney satellites since I would not be able to go to Ireland if by some amazing fluke I won anyways.

Great forum guys, I read it dailly at lunch from work.

my best to date.

Dear Stelvask,

You finished the tournament in 1st place.
A $5,527.51 award has been credited to your Real Money account.

My best so far was a 2nd place finish for a little over $500 in a $10+1 buy-in with about 200 people a little less than a month ago. Cashing almost 1/3 of my MTT the past month. Harrington's book has made a big difference, mostly on my post-flop play. For me it's all really about patience. People will call with almost everything in these low money buy-ins. Be careful if you dare to bluff. You may have a big chunk of your stack eaten up by blinds while you patiently wait for a hand, but you will usually get called when you push and double up because most of these people don't pay attention to the fact that you haven't played 1 hand the past half hour.

BigPish , there is an official crying thread open down in this Forum
