February 14th.

Down to the final 6 in my $11 MTT. Guranteed $1500 but will need lots of luck if I am to get any more as I'm 6th and the blinds are huge.

Still in my other tourneys too. Just about to reach the cash in the $20 MTT.

Edit: Finished in 5th in the $11 MTT winning $2045.95
Was just about to get blinded off and so made a desperate shove with J5 thinking I had a good chance of picking up the blinds as the other short stack was BB, but guy to my left called with J9 and it held.
Just reached the cash in the $20 MTT so hopefully I can make it another final table

Nothing as close to you Sat, but won quite a few 3/5euro 6/10 player sit n go's and a few 10euro headsup sit n go's.

Having fun today!

Good stuff! The SNGS haven't been going too well for me this month, but I've had a few big MTT cashes to make up for it

I've never tried any MTT apart from freerolls, but do pretty well normally, made the cash in a 10,000 man omaha.

My cash game is awful though!

I follow your progress on the thread and it always makes for interesting reading.

[satriales]

I didn't quite make another final table but I finished 34/1700 for $109 in my other tournament. I was really card dead at the end and was at a very agressive table where I had very few spots to make any moves.

[Oblomov Boblomov]

I've been knocked off the top spot of the pub poker league . Hopefully still going to make the Regionals, but I could really do with a good result on Sunday.

[satriales]

I take it you got through then? Nice one!

[Oblomov Boblomov]

I take it you got through then? Nice one!

Haha well thanks for the congrats but no, not yet! I did get the good result, however, with a first place tonight. I got bullets in the final hand and he went all in with A7 . That's 100 points for me in the league and it's getting close to the end, so I'm fairly hopeful .

I just read back and saw you won over $2000! You bastard! Well played !

[Drumstick]

I might play a $4.40 tonight and go for my third final table in a row... anyone else up for it?

19:30 start time.

I could be in for the win tonight, yes.

read: jokerstars.

In a points freeroll on ipoker. It's 500 points rebuy and I have 118,000 points to rebuy with. Open shipping every hand until the break lol.

EDIT: LOL getting some banter at the table. People are not liking me. They try to limp into the pot and I shove any two. They seem to think I will "go broke" soon.

[Luwinski]

Myself whiskey and nova are in. We won't collude!

[satriales]

I think I'm in. Might be going out but it doesn't look too likely now.

Edit: This is a hand I was going to post yesterday but things started getting hectic and I forgot about it. It's always nice to be all-in on the flop with your opponent drawing dead
