Ha ha, good stuff. I definitely can agree with you there, especially when you were figured you'd be at it for a while. I often play DoN's when I can and nothing is sweeter than when 2/6 are gone in the first hand and then it wraps up a couple later (and you're in the money of course). Nice background, BTW I used to use the same one. Don't use it religiously some times you have to mix it up.

yes usually its 40 mins plus with the odd drongo timeing out for fun,, 1$ is all the bankroll will allow at the moment and it aint easy as you know most players even at this level are reasonable if not better,, I much prefer 10$ plus stgs I find them easier to play but the bankroll is way short of that level on this site but we will grind away and hopefully get on to the 2$ stgs soon,,lol,,

Hi, nice tournament, and fast! I'm also a DON player but I usually don't play the 1$ because of the fee being too high (most of the places 20%) when the 2 or 3$ DON's gets around 10%. What is the fee for the 1$ DON at everest ?

lmao never seen a sng finish this fast except the nlhe freeroll ones and everest has a reputation of very slow levels. might be related to time zone and players feeling sleepy.

LOL! I play a lot of low dollar 6 person turbo SNGs, typically when I don't want to f*ck up a good day at the cash tables but still feel like playing, and only twice did I see one go this fast. One time I finished second to the guy who was on fire, and the other time it was me. Wild ride for sure when it happens to you, feels like you can't miss!

yes it was just unreal i knocked them all out, the first 3 were just donks but the last few hands I hit every flop,, like I say if only it was this easy,, just looked at my sharkscope results and ive played 50 games on everest and lost a dollar? ,,lol, what can I say , I am improving though and I hope soon to move up to the nosebleed $2.50 stgs , the target is to get my roll to 80$ then move up, I know it should be more but thats the plan, I still have a problem with discipline getting dragged into gambleing fests and fishing fests,,and there are a few sharks in the pond that have nibbled at my family jewels , so anyway gl at the tables and if not play well,,

Nice run, and i'm sure the level of your opponents really helped you in achieving the performance
SOmetimes smaller sites are a lot more profitable than bigger sites but still you can find a lot of fish too on the big poker platforms. And everst poker is of those small platforms that are very profitable
Unfortunately for a unknown reason my country is banned from everest poker, i mean it was always banned not after something happend, but i've only read on other poker forums that it's indeed one proftable poker platform, keep us posted!
