Wow mongo1976, thats a great result, congratulations. I just asked for my ticket today, because only today i have had access to the PC where i make all the poker downloads. It would be great if i manage to win such a big prize like you. Tell me: did you found it very dificult? What was the size of the field? How many hours have you been playing this tourney? Did you used any type of strategy, like MTT?

Was around 150 entrants, no poker is easy i think. Really just played it slow and cool. Waited for the right cards did not call on crap only bluffed when i knew i could. Tourney lasted around 3 hours, long time to stay calm. Strategy my own i think, some luck involved to.
------------ I would also like to mention (just to boost my ego) ReBuys were available for the first hour, first break. There were alot of rebuys happening, and i just had my solo ticket so no rebuys for me which makes 2nd place even better.

Sweat result sir and very, very nicely done! My only disapointment is that i can't take that offer since it's a offer that is not eligible on my country
Since it was free money(entry) you really maximezed the profit you could get out of this opportunity
Keep us thr good job and keep us posted on your evolution there

Very nice! I just got the confirmation of my ticket, now i just have to see when i will have time to apply it and try to get to the paid places. A 150 field is not big, but taking in consideration the $5,50 buy-in, which many dont get as free ticket and the dificult work to do against the possibility of rebuys others will have, it shouldnt be an easy task. You can count on me to post my result here, even if it isnt similar to yours (i think that is really hard work, got to keep my concentration high).
