Ok, today was the day I had been waiting for about 7days! At NordicBet poker I had registered to pretty nice freeroll (only for Finland members: Poker Rally 2010) . Just 7days before I ended up second in this awesome tourny and brought 90€ in my balance and ticket to Final table at Scandic hotel in Jyväskylä
Now here is the ground-braking thing that happened after these 7 sunny days here in Finland +30C' all the time but then 50minutes before the start hell brakes loose! First it starts to rain as hell and after that some really scary thunderstorm comes in the situation ! All the electricity bangs off in my house & I end up banging my head towards the nearest walls minutes goes by and 10mins left before the tournament starts... My adrenaline is in the fullest and I start shouting bad things witch i´m not proud of in any ways(sorry neighbours).
BUT THEN my luck turns around just 2minutes before the start when suddenly electricity comes back like God just wanted to have some fun by pissing me off I rush fast to my computer and start the tournament only couple of hands had passed 2 hours after the start I ended up heads up in the final table with a good chiplead ! Then I dominated that last guy and got 150€ price +good mood
funny story with a great finish. congratz with the result. Maybe it was good u couldn't play poker up till the tournament. Sometimes when i have been playing for a while and then a freeroll starts i can't seem to take it seriously, even when there is good value in it. GL

Congrats!
I can imagine your frustration as God put down his foot.
But you can always find consolidation (the right word?) in the fact the finnish language has all the best swearwords, profanitys and other nice expressions!

LOL - great story man, made me laugh, and very nice result
We were going to ulkotori (open market) yesterday when the rain and lightening hit the ground - and that was it, back to home lol. Humidity was so high, there were almost no air to breath, crasy summer here indeed.
Felix - is this site good where you play at? I mean traffic, loads of players there?

Yeap, this is NordicBet wich is one of the most popular gambling/poker site for Nordic players out there. And as you know site where is huge amount of players who mostly bets examble on football are pretty delicious fishes There are about 10K players all day long playing. Not such kinda traffic as it is on FullTilt or PS but pretty good and I like it.
And if I now when I got started already could tell little about my games on NordicBet... I started out on this site early this years spring. Played this enormous 20K freeroll with only 3K runners. Got 80€ out of it and started building my bankroll. After two months on late June I withdrawed 1000€ to my bank account. And the best thing was when I was withdrawing it onoly took 2days and money was in my bank They didn´t even ask for those annoying ID´s and all that staff So I would like to racommend this site because there are lots af donks out there and you can easily build a nice bankroll in no time Cheers, go for it tiger
