I have no idea
I'm out now.... raised off a 72 with two deuces on board... then shove A10 all fold, shove AK all fold, then SB limps, I shove 55, he calls with AA... 53A on the flop and I'm out...

Hey Demo,excellent short stack play!!every time I saw you in the tournament you had about 1 or 2 bb and then you were up to 30k,can't believe how many all ins you won. I thought the prize pool paid out far too many tiny prizes but never mind,it all adds up.
Hey yout,so you went out set over set as well, At least you got the bounty,not many have a world champion(signed??) pool cue.

Yeah - very cool...
I'll add it to my collection of signed world champion pool cues
Plus, I now have just under 2 Tourney Dollars on there, which could be the start of a nice bankroll
Think I'm gonna start playing on Party a lot more now.
I have been advised to play a good volume of MTTs on a site other than Pokerstars... as my results would be more consistent - I agree with the reasoning - smaller field = smaller variance.
So gonna use Stars as my cash site, and Party as my MTT site.

Just a thought yout...are you sure you did not have to send a screenshot if you knocked out the bounty?probably not but I know you do for the "win with 72" hand.
I think PP is pretty good,especially if you are a decent player as there are lots of satellites for someone like you to take advantage of.I have over 20 tickets for 5 and 10 dollar tourneys,I always talk myself out of using them because of the time the good tourneys take.......and the fact that I would like to get better at poker first.

I really hope I didn't need to take a screenshot... there certainly wasn't anything mentioned in the T&Cs... Just emailed them anyway - so hope to hear back soon. (at least I have you as a witness )
Whenever I've ever watched you play, you don't seem too bad at all... maybe a little tweaking required, but you'll get there

Hi yout85
Just to let you know, when I won my laptop on party (may have mentioned it here lol) it took about two weeks for them to email me and then another 12 weeks for it to arrive. It isn't an instant thing.
In the case of the laptop I was credited a ticket and had to accept it, which took me to a page to fill out my details. So I wouldn't panic but I would most certainly speak with livechat to make sure that is what will happen.
Will be good to see you on party, it is my main site. I tend to play mtt's plus one casual table (just play ABC, wait for aces, shove all in and two will call!). Don't forget, 50 points a month and you get into the party BRM freeroll if you signed up through BRM.

I think you are right and as IQA says they will probably get in touch soon,at least you will know when the postman delivers it,not many parcels are 5 foot long.
I kind of messed up my game by taking a NDB with stake restrictions and played loads of 4 man turbos,I did OK and still have about $35 on the site which I hardly use now. I am trying to play tight and get things worked out better,though I have got better in the final stages of a tourney,just a shame I don't get there too often.

Yeah,I know I am sometimes too tight with my opening range but I'm trying to get the super turbo habit out of my game like last night I got it all in with QQ with about 25bb but I had seen the guy limp jam with AQ before and there was a lot of money in the pot.If the prize structure was better maybe I would have it differently.

I'll have a look when I get on there and see but have no idea what my privacy settings are on,usually mine is just block as much as possible. Are you playing anything tonight?I registered for the WPT freerolls but probably be late in.Played last night and finished 44 out of nearly 2000,top 15 paid,very annoying.

WoW...!!! Nice GOING dude...!!!
Now,....was I sitting there and MISSED you winning that...? Actually,...I was running back and forth to the kitchen cooking dinner,...and playing a few games at once...
When I went out in 13th, I saw that you had a HUGE stack and was deep,....couple minutes later I noticed you got doinked TOO,...and ended 12th...! I was hoping we'd have wound up at the final table...!

I took him out just after you arrived at my table... he was bubble boy
It was only me and one other player on our table that could take him out, so I was constantly trying to isolate against him.... I raised Q10 when he was in BB... He called and the flop was 3QK.. He checked, I bet and he shoved... I insta called and he had AK... Turn was a Q and river wasn't a K

I will be sending you a friend request in a couple of minutes,hopefully. Just had a 5 minute spell of killing the table,quad aces first hand,full house with AJ ,followed by AA 2 hands in a row,wiped out the table chip leader bully in 3 hands.

I would love to be crushing but only playing for fun,off to pick my son from football training in a minute. Good luck with the omaha,probably be in the cash by now.I think you will find it profitable on PP.
