Nothing to really shout about especially compared to bullettooth...
But just enjoyed/ got vastly frustarted in the Mini Master $5.50 on PKR
Got a free ticket...so free entry
And finished 81/1660 for $18 free bucks.
Started off slowly and built momentum, mostly want to reach through the internet connection and slap the person to knocked me out.
I shoved EP with QJ (had to make a move due to blinds) and everyone folds..then the SS calls with Q10s...and then a 10 nails the flop. So sick. Leaves me 5k behind...bye bye.
Also had KK lose to AK. Suffered some sick beats along the way, races didn't go my way.

Finishing in the money always makes losing easier. Of course you are thinking, i made it so far and i could do better, but if luck isnt with your side, its a hard thing to accomplish.

Posted by MarcWinz: Well done noonlion. Free money is always a good thing and think next time you can improve on it!!! You know you will be able to.
If you don't have bad beats it would make good runs seem normal, think of it that way.
GL to all you mobsters !!!!!
cheers guys, was more of a rant after getting dumped on such a gash hand..
And yeah its all about momentum i find in tourneys MarcWinz, you get the feel for it and experience.
I love it when it gets to the stage of the tournament where busting a stack and the blinds are huge and you can go into commanding chip leads with the right hand.

Can't really complain if your making the money, but I know it bites to lose out to a bad beat even when finishing in the money. I've had one of those weekends where I can get AA back to back and lose both times. Seems like when your on your on and can hit with about anything, but when your off you can lose with anything.

Right !! Is it destiny ? That's real !!Why ? Many time I saw someone play bad, gambling but he won ! In the money is good as always, How much we win ? I am sure none can always make their target. So be happy with your prize, enjoy it

Good result but always frustrating when you feel you could have gione further with a few different calls and a bit of luck. HAd a similar event the other night and hopefully have added the experience to my learning for the future.
