SO stoked.. Night before last, was a bit drunk and stupidly donked away a lot of my bankroll on PKR at the cash tables (nl200 & nl400 3am classic move).. Then last night, got focused and played the Double Deuce deep stack - after about 6hrs managed to come first for $548.00!!
And then today - I decided I'd only play one tournament and make it a big one.. I played the Canadian Open Deep Stack - 9 seater - 20K starting stack, 15min blind - $50 buyin.. After 2hrs my stack was down to 4,000 when the average was around 37,000 .. Anyway, patience paid off, won a hand 88 vs AJ lucky 8s held.. Then stuck it through, made a big come back.. Dominated the final table (which lasted 3hrs itself) and after a total of 8hrs took first place for $915.00 !!

Haha I'd never forget you guys when I get famous ! lol
Also - currently speaking with PKR about setting up some rake back - they've said so far they should definitely be able to arrange something (I raked over $1,000 in March). So I'll be pretty stoked if I can get some rake back happening.

Sure they will cut you some cash - it takes 500$ rake per month to get a rackeback deal with pkr itself. Been here, done that lol!
Id suggest to take on some other big tourneys until youre running hot ! Gratz again mate

Posted by IslandJack: AMAZING stuff! You are really Pwng those Deepstacks. First 2 x in a row!
Don't you ever imagine what you could do if you took this seriously? Two firsts in a row says enough. Very nice Jezz! ..and congratz!
Yep - well, to be fair - PKR MTTs are pretty small field.. So winning two in a row is not like winning two in a row on PS lol.
But yeah - it would be nice to be able to have the discipline to actually make a bit of money from it, without busting it all doing stupid s**t.

Do they pay you any rakeback in the months you rake less than $500 ?
Hmm, I'm not gonna play any huge tourneys, definitely stick to the sub $50s. Wouldn't mind having a crack at the high roller on PKR - I prefer 6max games to full ring. High roller is $150.00 but I believe there is sats for about $30. Might have a crack at those.

I love 8's they always pan out for me. Dont know what it is about them. Lucky 7 is overrated. Lucky 8's all day!!! I've been failing at building a bankroll for quite some time at fulltilt. I got up to 14 c from freerolls lol..maybe someday i will get there. Practice practice practice.

Great wins jess, love to hear when someone kivks in a game. Always gives one inspiration as opposed to hearing when someone has a bad day. Got to deal with both though, we can't always win. Nice games! Good Luck to you All!
