i was ok this can be interesting for the next few days
so started to play allot more of this types of tourny's
but didt win so i desiced to take my last 5$ and play on a table
and i was lucky i get a monster hand on my first hand
two aces and there was 4 players left at the table so i decided to slow play this 1 and checkt then the flop came
ace king queen i realy didt like this flop since it had a straigt draw so i did went all in to scare them away
with my luck sombody cald me and quickly i saw a jack ten
wow he had the straigt im waisted
on the turn there was another king and yes a fullhouse aces kings i was very happy and the river had another ace four of a kind damm that was a nice pot and a monster hand
i won 12$ at that pot
now my poker buddy told me there was cheaper sit and go
tourny with more players and bigger money pots so for 1.20$
so i desided to take my 12$ and play 10 of those and i won my first entry there and got agian a nice email

now yesterday my poker m8 told me about this big freeroll tourny with a max of 10k player he told me u can make some real cash of it so we both desided to play this 1 just for the fun of it when it started i saw 9000 people playing this
i knew it was hard to win this 1 and it was pretty late 23:30
when it started and my m8 lost all his chips at his first hand
so i desided it was already to late to play this one
and went on a very agresive playstyle
and it payd of when the first break started after a hour playing
i saw that already 3k people where out and i had me a nice stack of chip out of the starting 1500$ i had 7500 ish
after the break i got me a nice hand and desided to go all in since it was 1:00 at night and i was very tired
and i got lucky 3 guys cald me and there was a 20k pot
and i had a super flop got me ace high flush and won
now i knew that i starting to get a change to win this one
i only needed a 27th place to get me a ticked to a 1000$ pot tourny and with only 2500 people left i was 300th with chipstack so i contineud my agresive play till the second hour
break with 70k in chips then in the third hour of playing nothing
happend i stole me some pots and got up to 95k and started to get lowstackt with only 1000 people left the avarage stack was
90k and i knew what i was goin to do it had to happen in this hour and it was already 3.30 at nigth and i was deadtired
with the only thing in my mind was I NEED MY BED
so i waited for that 1 hand to trick sombody with
and got it pretty fast i tripled up to 310k with just 1 hand
and the hand after that hand i got me my ace ace hand agian
and one of players i won from was steaming like hell
and went all in before the flop so cald him and saw his 2 queens
that guy was devastated when he saw my 2 aces and the third ace on the flop my stack was now 560k and after this nothing happend just some pot stealing with my killer bluff skills
fourth hour break kickt in at 4:20 ish had my 600k stack
and it was looking good and saw only 150 players left
when i playd my first hand i lost half of my chips with a straight
8 to queen to a 9 to king and i was pissed
but i got lucky a table mix up happend and i saw the chipleader on my left with a woping 1,1 mil in chips
so i desided to look how this table was playd and i saw the chipleader steal all pots with bluffing so i knew i had to play him
with a nice hand and i got lucky i got bigslick (ace king) and that guy wanted to steal the pot agian and made me go all in before the flop so i cald him and i saw 2 queens and the flop was shit for then the turn and still nothing i started to fear i was out but on the river a ace i was saved and had my 600k stack back and desided this was a good stack to get me a top 27 place with only 50 people left so desided to save play
till the fifth hour break i was up with 750k and 48 people left
and started save play after the break after 15 mins 30 people left and i had 800k 1 guy at my table had 200k and went all in
i knew i had eneugh with 600k to make to the top 27 and had a nice hand so i cald him and he was bluffing he had nothing i won and kickt him then before i know i saw people say great game bla bla bla and lookt at the ranking yes i made after
5.5 hours of playing i won and i had 1.2 mil in chips and was chipleader the game still continued for monthly championship points so i desided to stop playing it was already getting light outside and i was dead tirred so i told the cool guy at the table to call my all in i had 2 and 4 he cald me and i lost
after that we did it agian and i was out at 22th place
and i realy happy about my game i did good
i checkt my mailbox and got me a nice email agian
