Hey guys it's your boy TheIrish77 and already off to horrible start in Micro Millions #09.
Using one of the free tickets given to us I registered late for this one and first hand played already busto!
Got pocket kings and seemed pretty happy till someone raised 2500 with blinds at only 100/200 so when it comes to me i push and get 2 callers. the flop is a disaster as it's all hearts and i have none and 1 player turns over QJ of hearts and I'm dead on turn. Still have 1 more bullet and hope this time the gods are looking down on me favourably!
------------ in star code type in MM2017 STheP and you'll be given 2 free MM spin & go's. I won both of them so i got 2 free 1.10$ buy-ins. You can thank Callie for this information.

i tried entering the code again today but no luck. i guess they have restricted those who have already won tickets.
Good luck mate and in whatever you're playing today.
Up to 40k stack now in MM # 09 !
------------ Just hit the break before late-registration ends and have some chips still.
Around 8400 runners left and sitting around 1900 currently with 45.5k stack. Average stack aorund 32k atm.
Just need to play solid even though i've missed some chances by playing a bit tighter than i usually would. missed a big hand right before the break with KQ UTG2 and 3x raise from UTG, UTG1 jams. Open has KJ suited and BB has AQ would have hit K on flop and held. could've added 45k more and big missed opportunity.
K back at it now be back when we cash this!
------------ lost a flip with AQ vs JJ and bricks on the board. Lost about 15 k from stack down to 38k now.
------------ Out in around 5600 no cash : (. played pocket 6's preflop all in against AK and they hit Ace on flop and game over. stupid play with only BB put in. got a bit bored and played a hand i shouldn't of.

I am playing these micromillions events quite regularly and until now I have achieved the expected results. I only entered prizes in one and gave to save the inscription. We will see if this micromillions treat me better this week!
Two kings are certainly very attractive card ..... and I usually win when luck makes me happy and kings come to me .... but of course any ace changes the world picture completely ..... it's very unpleasant but sometimes you have to lose with kings

It was a terrible way to start the tournament but, in my opinion, you could not have played the hand any differently and just got very unlucky. To call a 3bet and an all in with just Queen Jack is a play i couldn't do

Wow! A player 3 in the small blind called your 48-bb reshove all-in with Queen Jack suited? That was an awful play. Isn't it disgusting when some unthinking player tries to get cute with a suited mediocre junk and somehow gets lucky?

Do not be discouraged when you play these types of bad beats, surely have them all bought at the moment as I continue to play this series of micromillions with poor results. We will continue to try to see if luck changes!

I have played a couple events....like 3 or 4, only done well in a PLO KO ... I havent played more purely due to the timing of most of them - well most of the ones that I want to play are start when I should be sleeping
so we will see more tournament plays from most of the
I like this series because it give everybody the chance to win with a lower buyin a big cash prize.
