Hey Mobsters, Today in the evening I will play a qualifier for PartyPokers Spring Million tournament. I guess it will have around 800 to 900 players. First ten will get a ticket for the tournament on Sunday. Is anybody else of you in this ?

Hey Jack, yes I guess its called Spring Million Special (there are so many Spring Million tourneys atm, very confusing ). My PP name is the same as here: Migo14. Would love to have fun in this with Mobsters and go deep in tournament.

Hey Migo, I just made my entry through another qualifier. I might still play because party give the same in cash when you´re qualified already. Will see you at the tables if i make it there (probably).

O cool, you are already qualified, great. I am just in the qualifier, 2 minutes before it started,lol 914 players. Normal start for me.
Hmm, first break after 30 min. Down 160 chips, getting nogood hands. Folded preflop 29 suited against 5 others, would have hit another 29 during the streets, and one other guy won the hand with a pair of 9, lool.
Hmm, was down to 2k chips with 450 BB, but then trippeld up to 6k
S**t, busted out at place 235 with AQ against AK who limped in before me

Too bad Migo, maybe you can try again tomorrow in the 30 seat frenzy? You have way better odds in qualifying in that one. I"ll play the spring million for sure, Jack is in, let's make it a BRM mania.

Thanks for your nice wishes. If I have time today in the evening I will maybe try to use a second chance to qualify. But this is nearly like a freeroll with over 6000 players for 50 tickets.
------------ Okay, I am in it. I had a quite good start, but then lost some hands. Now first break. 1800 players left from over 6000 I am somewhat arounf position 400

These are really tought tournaments to get through. I didn´t play the Special, aving it for next month. Started the "Giveaway", but had to go out, so I stopped halfway with 2.000+ players left.
Hope you can get through some of sudays qualifiers, but nothing easy there either, I get the impression. Keep fighting!

Wow! No idea you were watching. I made another thread...came in 104th.
I was definitely doing well in 12th, but then I decided to play for the Bubble first. So there you go. Might have made it a lot further (or not)...I´ll never know.
Definitely going to try and Sat. into it again. Kind of overcame my "fear" of the BIG players. They´re just like you and me apparently....
Was looking for you JeffryM. Found your PP nick on the Leaderboard.

I also kept track of your progress
