Had a spare evening so I decided to join some freerolls at NordicBet
First one was a crazy tuesday freeroll, 1306 entered. This freeroll is a bit special, rank 1 and 10 win $30, rank 2 and 9 $15 and rank 3 and 8 5$ and all the rest gets nothing
offcourse I won it, was big stack when the final table was made and then 5 players went all in, 2 of them big stack which is just stupid of them, considering they could not be eliminated, after that I just played my game and won the crazy freeroll
In the meantime, the 500$ freeroll started, 7848 players entered I got to admit, it was very had keeping focus on both tournament, somehow I menaged, in fact I was stackleader for a very long time.. At the end I stopped getting decent cards and the blinds were so high I had to go all in in early position with Q 10 and lost I ended 4th out of 7848 players, no complaints here.
I believe this prooves I am the best pokerplayer, nobody can deny that
any1 know how I can add some screenshots to validate my story?

Posted by M3turbo: Big Congrats that's very nice. You must be running good keep it up
Actually I wasn't running good at all, was playing intensivly couple of weeks and last few days I joined a lot of tournaments aswel and I had so many bad beats and got so frustrated I played too loose agressive, if I looked them up now and attached them I still think I would have 10 screenshots to use or not even more, I think I wrote all the time idiot players always get rewarded out of frustration
So 2 days ago I decided to take a break and not play poker at all, clearly that was a good move, my mind is back to my normal game and it has payed off

You don't get to final table in a tournament with 7848 players only by playing well you need some good runs too, and since you just won a tournament with 1306 players I would say you are running good unless you think you really were that much better than the other 9K players.

This is a bit (hmm not only a bit actually) pretentious... You can't consider yourself being that you are the best poker player just by winning two freerolls. How can you blame unlucky hands for all your looses then say the only thing that makes you win is your skill ?

haha you should not take things all too serious, I do not see myself as the best, but one of the best

You played well but I wouldn't get overconfident. When I win a big tournament, I let myself bask in the glory of being #1 for a bit but soon after I'll want to think about what I did right and wrong. No matter how well I played, I can always find things to improve on. A time where I should have made a larger raise, a time when I should have folded, a time when I should have pushed.
To be a great player you have to constantly realize you're not the best.

trying to put me on tilt or what?!
as if belgium is well known for their great poker players...
@doomdy: huh? wrong thread mate?
I was born in Bosnia and Herzegovina and I can say
We are masters in deception and trapping, poker was invented in the balcan
as for as doomdy is concerned, please forgive him, it's not his fault, it's normal in Holland to go crazy when their footballsquad is playing terrific.

At the beginning of my pokercareer i finished second out of 12k at a 1k freeroll, and the next day 9th.(Pokerrewwards)
Just to keep your feet on the ground . . . That means nothing about how good you are . .. Winning some all ins in the first 30 minutes, managing a bigstack against lowbrains,paired with luck has nothing to do with your skill. But still congratz to your 1st place

replying to you and scl1975...
That is the sexiest girl alive so yes it is a nice background
I haven't played tournament yet, only cash games and sitngo
Cash game was 0.05/0.10 NL and sitngo I played the ones with 1 and 2$ buy in
I did pretty good so far, I've got 156.67 after one day, that is not that bad is it, since I started from 52.50
I am not rushing things at all, I've learned from my mistakes from before, where I started off well but then overdid it by joining 0.25/0.5 NL or even 0.5/1 NL table, not making that mistake again
Will keep you updated, any comments or good ideas would be appreciated
that's very nice. You must be running good 
keep it up
