Yesterday, I used my $ 2 tickets in Net Bet, wonned in a freeroll, for play $ 1000 Garanted Super Turbo rebuy. I´m in a no desire period and this is the only tournament that i want to play... Tourney started and I had three dreamed hands: QQ, KK, TT in a row, three villains were all in each hand and I won all of it! I was first (I take a picture) with a monster stack. So I taked it easy and only played good cards. In that gloriously moment, a whatsapp arrived "Hi Daddy, You can come and find me in Aldana house?"...half hour later I return to lost in the 50th place...

I already see your messages for the second time that your daughter is interfering with your poker game .... I wonder if she understands that this way she herself deprives herself of money for ice cream ... .... try to explain it to her ..... it seems to me you should play at a time when you are not disturbed by your own people and will not interfere with your game

hhaha you really do not have luck my friend maragatero I think you need to find a place where no one will be able to stop you playing poker,how could you quit when you got everything you wanted, you missed a good placement and a good prize

Thanks for your advise, the quiet situations that you proposed are a dreamed stage! But I´m working for it...If I practice and learn to make myself a better player, when my daughter has a boyfriend and she goes to the university (in a nearly moment) I could have all my time for the game...and probabily I will miss to my daughter!

If I read the information in the tournament lobby correctly, there were only 81 registered players for the $1,000 guaranteed tournament? Its payout structure is pretty good for a freeroll. And the winner gets $275?

Many things happen of this kind with many players but this is the situation. The family is number one in first position and you are in the second position. You could win something good but if this not happened you do not have to think about it. Be focused on the present and the future. Good luck

You were doing good till that moment. Who know what would have happened, if you didnt have family obligations It is one of the bad things, when you are playing poker online. Better luck next time, without any interfering

It's a shame, Maragatero. This type of messages that ruin tournaments have reached me. that's why sometimes I had the application of the poker site and tried to play from the cell phone. Although the comfort is not the same, it can be a good solution to this type of interruptions. By the way, when you go to play a poker tournament you warn that you will be busy for about 5 to 8 hours haha. At least it was a freeroll.

Thanks CALICUL and Mober, really the near family´s wellfare is a condition to be peacefull and play happy! And Tony_MON7ANA you have to think that the late registration finish at 30 minutes, so at the end there are about 200 players, that maked 253 rebuys and about 40 addons. Considering that it was a Super Turbo tournament, and I lost 30 minutes...is not too bad my finishing in 40th place (ITM in 36th place winning $ 11,5...good tourney!)

this tournament was great I can freely say it and I'm really sorry you did not play the tournament to the end I am sure that you would take a good amount of money as I can see that the rewards were very good,but surely there will be more tournaments and chances for you my friend maragatero

if it is a freeroll, it doesnt hurt that much But still you can win good money from one. You need to be free for quite some time when you start playing a tournament. You never know how far you can go. And most of the times, when you are not playing tournaments frequently, you go deep, when you cant finish the game

considering that the tournament was a super turbo you have a remarkable result ... apparently at the beginning of the game you were one of the chip leaders and therefore the stock of chips allowed you to leave for a little ..... and maybe if you played without a break the result could eventually be worse

Uhh, a pity. You stayed 4 places to enter ITM? You must have made an excellent tournament start to get to that position without playing those 30 min or more, considering it was a super turbo. Interesting tournament, where the prizes started at $ 11.5 I followed my advice and download some application of the poker sites you play, to be aware of situations like these. So for the next time maybe you can charge!

my friend maragatero I do not know if you are able to play poker on a mobile phone, that is a very nice thing you can extend your poker game wherever you are if you have a good mobile phone I would suggest you install a mobile application and you will not have a problem playing the game even though you have obligations around the family

great idea !!! ..... ..... if you have to leave the house often to do family things then the application on the phone is a great solution to stay in the game .... of course if you are busy with family affairs, there is no time to play but there are always breaks when you can play a few hands ....great idea

Yes vaci38...good idea! But...(there is always a but) I will have to find a chofer and pay for him...bad bussiness! It could works when I accompany her to buy lingerie and I stay waiting in the car, until the moment that I have to pay, I could play some S&G (45´

it's not at all necessary to play only sitlingo .... I understood what you meant to say .... there will not be much time to play long MTT tournaments ..... but if you already play as in this case then you can just by the opportunity look into the phone and play a few hands ... so you'll sometimes appear in the game and support the stack

That was my point my friend pajalnick when our friend maragatero had a very good start at the tournament and he had to stop for family reasons he could continue to play the tournament anywhere at least 10 minutes and would surely come to ITM maragatero my friend give more money and keep it much more time in the store

If you can reach the money with the stack you are having the moment you need to go, then you leave the tournament, crossing your fingers you can make it. If your stack isnt big though and you need to leave, you start going all in after all in to grow the stack and make it in
I think you need to find a place where no one will be able to stop you playing 
if you have a good mobile phone I would suggest you install a mobile application and you will not have a problem playing the game even though you have obligations around the family
