That is a big guarantee :shock:

The one I played was the 2R1A, I believe, which is on a little sooner.

Oh right, I remember you saying you were playing until 6 or 7am so I figured it was probably the same tournament as that ended at about 6am. I might give that 2R1A tournament a try, I only used 1R1A in last nights.

Down to the last 26 in an EPT freeroll on PS. On $126k with average being $170k. Need to double up at least once.

Good luck man. I decided to stick $50 dollars on there, just to prepare for the GRSOP, and played two games, a 18-man $5 and a 27-man $5. Went out of the first in 12th, but won the second

Boosted my roll straight up to 89$. Going to take out the first 50 and see if I can build a mini roll on free money.

EDIT - Oh, and I know it;s a rip off, but considering if I come back to this I'll be playing lots of cash on Celeb Poker, I bought Plastic playing cards from Pokersstars......for 1200 points :lol:

Was just watching but it wouldn't let me chat. Really unlucky to go out so close to the end :cry:

I crashed out of 27-man tournament in 8th. It was annoying because I had played tight so my image was great and I had started to abuse it a couple of times. Anyway I was short with 3k at 200/400 and well all in from the small blind with AT. The big blind calls for a third of his stack... with 65 suited. And flops a straight with an open-ended straight flush draw.

However I made up for that by winning an 18-man tournament. HU was pretty interesting, went in with 9k and a 2:1 chip disadvantage, and shortly I was chip leader after playing quite aggressively. However I went down to just 3k after seeing a 36K flop with J6 and he insta-shoved. I read this as weakness and called, he shows K7. :fp:

Managed to run good in a couple of all ins to get myself back up to 10k and then repeated what I'd done earlier. Final hand went from terrible to great in one card.

I'm getting primed for the GRSOP ready to take all your money. 8-)

Was gutted to go out though after coming so close. I knew he'd hit his queen, just didn't think he had two of them. :lol:

I'm trying to repeat last nights success by playing a $11 freezeout. It started with 2800 entrants and we're down to 192 now. I'm in 112th with a slightly below average stack but the chip leader at my table is a donk who plays nearly every hand so I think I might be able to double against him if I get some decent cards.

Edit: Down to 97 players and I'm playing dangerously 8-)

I'm still in this tournament, currently 5th out of 23

Hopefully I can make it two final tables in two nights...

Edit: Nope, I went out in 19th

I had 99 and the flop was QQ4, I bet it thinking my hand was probably good but the other guy called which made me suspicious. I bet the turn anyway incase he was on a flush draw but he called again and then the river was an ace and he went all-in, so I folded which left me as a bit of a short stack. The very next hand I get AQ and one guy limps before me. I shove and he calls with AK. A queen comes up on the board but then so does a king.

I think generally I played really well but then right at the end I got into some very tricky situations. The blinds were also very big at this point with the average stack being much less thn 20BB.

I won $77 but if I had just held on until the final table it was $1200 for 5th place and $4500 for 1st.

EPT freeroll starts in half an hour if anyone wants to play.

What's the standard like?

Get on MSN, Donkrunner.

Was alright. As with any freeroll you're going to get a few idiots. I managed to make it to the last 15 with help from my housemate so you should be able to do pretty well. Worth a shot if you've got time.

I'll give it a go. Don't suppose you could link me to it?
