So, I have decided to play a few pokerfest games. I intend to play mainly cheap sats whilst my baby is up, cause I can't keep full attention. Better games when she is sleeping.
I will also try and use these games to clear a few missions. Making a deposit got me a free $5 ticket for instance.
My start BR is a very modest £15/$25
Get your results in here and let's have some hands to discuss too!

Hi - GL IQA. I'm at your table in game #5. the Ante Up Turbo. I just lost quite a big hand - played it bad really - Had AKoff the King was a heart and 3 hearts came down. The turn was an ace and I bet and it was called... I went to the river to see if another heart came in and I thought my aces might be good.. the other guy had AQ hearts though so I was kiled. I shouldn't have called his bet on the river really - should have been obvious that he had a flush I suppose, but he hadn't bet out much before that.
I won a $5 ticket last night in a sit and go - I'll use that later in some of the others. I'll try not to marry my AK too often though if I can or I won't last long. lol.
------------ It's odd with the blinds staying at 10p. Makes it tempting to go fishing for stuff that probably isn't really there.
------------ I'm just going to need to get lucky to get back in this - or I'm out anyway on the antes.
------------ with 450 chips left I shoved with Q4 hearts.. pretty rubbish but with the ante at 100 per hand I had to do something. Should have been alot tighter.... or luckier! lol
------------ Maybe see you in the $5 bounty one later. I have a ticket - for game 9 that I won which is another $5 bounty game - might be a long day - lol.

------------ A reminder to all, if playing these games, make sure you do some missions (the mtt ones are easy). You need to activate em but they give free $T for doing nothing extra

Ice Queen Ace, it looks like you need. Bit ofupdatingbhere, or have you given up on the blog? If your weekend has been a nothing like mine I guess you have struggled to do it anyway. Looking forward to seeing you at the Pokerfest tables soon.

You are doing good again. It looks you were lucky with the player that played that double up sng I hope you are gonna have the same luck with the rest of your tournaments and be in the final table in the one you are playing right now Good luck.

Yeah I was. It was pretty early on and the JJ hand followed soon after so I had near 6k chips whilst 3 other players had 2kish each. I basically just had to sit out to cash.

Posted by IceQueenAce: atm my $25 is on $38. got a few tickets too
that said, pokerfest has sucked for me, that profit came from cash games a a diff mtt
------------ Update, I used a $10 sng token I got from missions, to play a Double Up game. Won easily (AA v 84 lol and JJ v TT on 9 high board). BR = $56.50, and am deepish in a $1 mtt, $2 guaranteed so far.
Very nice Icequeenace,aye i had a $10 sng ticket from one of the missions too, i played it last night and after a quick double-up just sat out and collected $18.60 or thereabouts.
