Well started off with a $2.50 satellite ticket and after alot of hard work, worked my way up the ladder to this tourney, here is where i ended up..... mind u there were 1 available add on's (which pretty much everyone bought) and unlimited rebuys and all i had was the ticket so no rebuy's or add on's for me and still. Turning point was dealt pocket 5's chip leader had been stealing blinds alot. He raised 3x i called and hit the 5 on the flop. He called me all in and i was happy to join
So looks like i'll be playing in sunday's $100,000 guaranteed, wish me luck!

Winning an entry to a $100,000 Guaranteed Tourney spending only $2.50? That’s almost priceless!!! You have everything on your side to make this run well: you have no pressure (or at least you haven’t lots of pressure) because you haven’t spent the money of the buy-in. You just made $109, besides that great ticket! You know how to play, these experience, till you got this ticket, gave you what you need to go for that MTT knowing what you will find: a big pot of sharks, snakes and rats! Wish you the best of luck!

Good playing Mongo for $2.50 you can't beat it. Let us know how well you do in that 100K. Like to read about the games Mobsters play in whether they do well or poor. It makes me realize that we all have good games and bad games, but at least we're having fun.
