On december 25 i received best christmas gift ever
I signed up for 17:00 CET bankroll mob freeroll 50$ I played quite good at the tournament, trapping, small bluffs, etc and after 4 hours of playing made it to the final table - bartely alive with about 20 BB left. Then just waited paitently for good cards and got them
So were 3 left at the final table leader with 700k stack, me with 100k and sb else with 600k. Leader looses all in to second stack, hes got 100k left and i take him out so we start heads up me with 200k and some spanish with 1.200k.
Than i played really agressive, had ups and downs but eventually got to 700k chips - so we were tied
The last hand i got K8, hes got J7, we both connect with the higher card on the flop and he goes insane with his second pair, i call all in and tadammmmm - victory )
Thats the first time i have ever won a tournament - came second a few times but never first!

Very nice story, you thrilled with your first time, and you will see it will not be the last. You just have to keep doing your “job”. If you have already made it second a few times, that means you are playing the way you should. Last Tuesday I also received a very nice Christmas gift myself. I entered a €50 guaranteed tourney and also made enough to become first, and it was also the first time it happened to me, winning one of this. Because of the rebuys and add-ons (I worked so well that I decided not to do any of this) the first prize was €45, second €27 and third €18. It wasn’t easy and it took me 3h30 to get there. I was almost always in the first half of the chip ranking and when we were only four, I was last one. But it was me who sent third place home and then I shake the chipleader, the other guy was playing really tight, so when it was just the two of us, I beat him so hard not letting him to see any flop without paying, that in the last five or six hands I was always putting him all-in to make him brake. It ended up with him coming with A4 against my pair of 3’s and, guess what, €45 in my pocket!!!
