Dear Lamb_of_John,
You finished the tournament in 1st place.
You qualified to play in Tournament #21021395 and are automatically registered for it.
funny thing is, i played 4 of these.
Should have seen the donky calls that put me out of the first 3.
K7 :ad to beat my preflop all in with JJ, A9o to beat my preflop All in with KK and when i go all in with A10 :ad i get called with KQ :ad. flop is A K 4...................turn is a KING!!!!!
i was 10 out of the seat in each of them at least.
I know it isnt a money, YET. But i'm very pleased with my play.

Congratulations!Thank you for participating.
thought id try the heads up tournament not bad for a first try
well shannon, heres the hand. not a bad beat at all, just a miss. i felt i had my money in at the best time too. i dunno if the guy SHOULD have called, but i guess i cant fault him.
blinds 100/200
I had about 3500 and there were 2 other in the pot. i was in the SB and 2 from the button limps. the button bumps it to 600 and i raise to 1200. limper calls my raise and so does the button.
I am holding the A :h: Q :h: btw.
flop comes K :h: 4 :c: 10 :h:
check form both players and i shove it all in!
first limper folds and button instantly calls. He has AK
turn is a Q so now i have any J, and one of the 2 Q's, or any heart.
the Button doesnt have a heart so i'm figuring i have 18 outs by this point, but the river is a brick.
original limper says "OH NO, I HAD AJ!!!!"
i'm also gambling early since i want a bit of a stack to withstand my card-dead-dom which is inevitable in any tournament i play where i'm playing SUPER tight.
so, no world series for me this year, but my TIGH TIGHT hold'em game is getting better. hoping for next year at least
Congratulations on your finish in tournament #28909874!

congrats teach, how the hell are you second in chips then cut a deal to get first money? dude who was in 1st must have had to go or something. I can't imagine ever agreeing to that deal while chip leader even by a small margin. I think I'd try and blind out if I had to go and hope 3rd stack busts.
A mini-Ding for me this evening...

The tournament is a $2.20 turbo triple shootout (6 max tables) with the final two at the final table winning the entries. I figured my odds of winning couldn't be worse that 1 in 107 you need to break even and I got it on my second try. Yay!! Now to figure out what to spend my $T on.
Had to post this here because there is no other place for a brag post. Sometimes it is handy to play on a site (Sun Poker) where there is no limit heads up (just like live poker)

OK, just had my biggest MTT cash online.... Remember guys I have only played micro limits online up to now so don't laugh..  Full Contact Poker MTT $20. + 2, won buyin through $3. single table.. 200 players in MTT, finished 4th for $360... woohoo... 1st payed $1200. tho, and I coulda won it if I had won a race at the end.  :'(
Look out SirWatts I'm almost ready to join you in the big time...... lol
I won 2 touneys over the last couple of days for my biggest take to date in online poker.
My first win came in a $2 rebuy tourney on Bugsys, bought in $8 total and ended up taking it down for $170. Then last night I played in a $10 rebuy on Bugsys did the add-on right away and the add-on after the first break for a total buy-in of $30 and took 1st for $404. That brought my total win for the last 2 days to $574, not quite Sir Watts status but sweet just the same
Speaking of the Sir I owe him and pkr(?) some thanks. There was a post some time ago where they had offered a strategy for playing in MTT's, I believe it was directed at the Stars sunday $215 event, I used that and it was very effective getting me to the final table. That was a great post guys, thanx!!!
This is my first post in this thread but 2nd time I have gone to round 3

positive posts like that might actually save this forum
most bad beat jackpots require both of the hole cards to be used, both of the players only used one hole card in this case.
