Didn't go brilliant, left with $75. About breakeven at the moment, tbh, but hope to do some awesomeness tomorrow.

^ GG Nova :D

I just played a really crazy tournament. It was just one of the normal 16 turbo SNGs I do but 5-handed I got it in with AK and lost leaving me with 370 chips, blinds were 200/400/25 and I was in the SB next hand. I then folded by accident :fp:

So the next hand I had 100 chips. Ante was 25 and I had 1/4 of a BB. Somehow I came back and built up a decent stack. This included getting it in with AA > T6, A2 > AA, QQ > QT, and shoving into a BB with ATC and he folded when he was getting about 9-1 odds to call :fp:

Then I reached HU and should have won as I got it in with Q8 v Q3 but they hit a 3 on the turn. Still 2nd was a pretty amazing outcome after having 1/4BB 5-handed :lol: 8-)

Is there any chance I could steal some stake from anybody with a bigger roll than me for tomorrow nights $22 events. I can give a % of it and we can split accordingly when I win?

Try using the SNG Satellites under the Events tab first, there are some FPP ones that are ridiculously soft, even I was winning at them!

I qualified for those two yesterday and unregistered to get tournament dollars. Basically freerolling my normal sit and go games. I think my total bankroll, taking into account all three sites I have money on, has breached the $1k barrier. :o

Check out my YouTube channel!
One man should not have this much power in this game. Luckily I'm not an ordinary man.

Nice drummy! Those were the days haha. HIGH ROOOOLLING!

Just looking through the SCOOP FAQ whilst procrastinating from work only to find this which made me giggle:



'Why did you call it a Spring Championship, when it isn’t Spring in the Southern Hemisphere?

We wanted the name of the tournament series to refer to the time of year at which it would take place. As the majority of our players live in the Northern hemisphere, we decided that Spring Championship of Online Poker would be an appropriate name. We apologize for any confusion or offense caused to our Southern Hemisphere players. Hopefully during SCOOP, Spring will be in the air!'

So sick. Chip leader with 6 left in a 5 Seat GTD $215 tourney and a ridiculous load of suckouts, the worst being shorty winning all in with AQ vs AK, meant that we shoved A6. Called by a limper with K7, he rivers a K for the ticket. Absolutely sick. Twice in two weeks now :x

Oh well I just lost 3 $9 satelites to the $22. Didn't even cash in 3rd for my money back. Someone called my 54 ship from the BB with 83. Had Q8 < K8 after to knock me out, 99 < AK in another and AT < AK ofc.

Played some $90s to the $215 and KK < A9 and something else that I don't even remember. Loads of BS basically. Ty jokerstars.

EDIT: Lost another $90. TT < 92s trip 9s.

So yeah 6 satelites all finishing 4th or worse. Wonder why I hate this site. -_-
