Hmm....well Im not sure. I must do at least eight to nine hours a week for two and a half years so maybe not that much, but definitely over fifty times. Theres no way its less then that.

Actually I've had Aces twice, the other time I got it in pre against JT and they made a flush :twisted:

I very nearly won a seat to the Sunday Mil :cry:

It was one of those double shootout tournaments. The first table only had four players and I won it. Then final table was 10 players (top 2 win a seat) and I built my stack up from 1500 to 5500 and was clear leader with almost everyone else having about 1000 chips. Everytime I got someone all-in I was either favourite or it was a flip but I lost them all. It was hands like AQs < KJo. Eventually I get it in with A9 and i'm snap-called by 66. Flop gives me a flush draw as well as the two overcards but it still misses everything and I'm out in 5th.

I did win a place in the $1mil Turbo Takedown. Normally it's 3000FPP to enter and I did a 99FPP rebuy and ended up using 13 rebuys and 1 addon :lol:

The main reason was because I built up a nice stack and then the only guy who had me covered happened to get AA when I pushed with AK.
So it cost about 1500FPP in the end but that's still half what it cost to register directly, so not too bad.

I played another double shootout and won a seat this time

. I also have a $10k raketherake freeroll so it's going to be a busy Sunday!

Plus, I've just reached the cash in a $20 MTT so its been quite a good day.

I was just playing those Main Event Race freerolls on fulltilt. They start every 4mins and it 225 players with top 2 winning a seat to round 2.

So I loaded up a load of them and I managed to make three final tables.
In the first I went out 5th but I can't remember the hand.
In the second one I also went out 5th after shoving with AK and getting snap called by 9To, they river a 9 :twisted:

In the third I get down to the final three and the blinds are so big now that I only have 6BB and the other two both have about 9 or 10BB. So I shove from the BTN with A7s and get called by JTo for most of their stack, they river a Ten and I am bubble-boy :twisted:

It looks like in round 2 only two go through to the final anyway, so they're probably a waste of time.

Welcome back to poker, Rich. How about getting to the last 3 of a Sunday Million qualifier with two people qualifying?

Thats so frustrating, unlucky :cry:

IPoker Network $100.00 No Limit Hold'em - 2 players
The Official DeucesCracked.com Hand History Converter

BTN/SB: $69.90

K

BTN/SB calls $0.50, Hero raises to $5, BTN/SB raises to $9, Hero raises to $129.50, BTN/SB calls $60.90 all in

(2 players - 1 is all in)

Turn: ($139.80) T

(2 players - 1 is all in)

River: ($139.80) A

(2 players - 1 is all in)

Easiest £70 ever. Guy sat down with £100. I PTR him and is a donk. First couple of hands we played he was insane and fortunately I got KK and took £30ish from him. Then this came up and lol @ call.

Also stacked someone 2nd hand for £100 yesterday with AA vs T2 on a 7T739 board. Pretty good day tbh. Rolling like near £5k again.

Looks like it's going to be another load of crap today. Just had my aces cracked by 67 when he puts me all in on a 285 board.

35% to win tbf.

Also stop playing if it's tilting you.

It isn't tilting me as it doesn't affect the way I play hands. Besides you know I don't tilt.

Just had another special:

Just got a guy AI at the flop with my AA vs his flopped straight to run a boat for $100. :shifty:

Over 50buyins for £100 now so trying to play much more £100 and 100 euro tables rather than £50NL. Might even hit some $200NL if there are some fishies later. Thank you deucescracked!

It looks like most of us are doing well today

I had a quick session and managed to play 11 SNGs in an hour and a half and cashed in 7 of them for $107.50 profit 8-)

I was actually running pretty bad too until the final game where I got lucky HU which evened out all the other ev :lol:

I went all-in with 24o and other guy snap called with 99, I made trip 4s :oops:

lol why did you go AI with 24o?

Just qualified to the second round in one of these. Starts in a couple of hours, and also managed to satellite into a $1 ME satellite with my left over Full Tilt points rather than paying the dollar. :lol:

I made $85 in 50NL HU this morning, so made up for the $80 loss in the last two days. Will try to sat. to the Million again. I will make it!

Rex McGee wrote:lol why did you go AI with 24o?

I would normally just muck it but I'd been dealt nothing for 4 or 5 hands in a row and the blinds were so big that I couldn't just keep folding every time. I thought as I'd folded so many previous hands he might give me credit for something, but it was very bad timing.

Edit: Running so bad today :shifty:
