I stopped playing pokerstars for a while, cause it was more jokerstars for me. But yesterday I recieved a mail from pokerstars saying I get 15dollar to play when I entered the code CASH4.
I Played a 27cent tournament. It went good and reached rather easy my first final table in a big tournament. After a lot of bad cards, and lost lot of my stack I got AA. No one called. Next hand again AA and same story here. Next hand KK again all in and this time one called. He had QQ In 3 hands I was back in the game, currently 3th of 5. Couple hands later there were only 3 left. I was chipleader, but it was close. One Russian didn't want to make a deal. So after a lot of hands I won against him. We were heads up. And made a deal. I was behind in Chips, 2.7M vs 3.7M. Made a deal for 66 - 70. Played furter for the win. And so it happens to win my first tournament
Now hope to continue this in the next tournaments.

Congratulations, it's always important to win and increase the cashier, even though more money buy-in was free We must seize the many promotions that are sending their codes Stars PokerStars with free admission $ 10 and $ 15 dollars, especially for players who stopped playing time Good luck in your upcoming tournaments and continue success

Congratulations for your win of course. Winning the first ever tournament in poker, is on of the best feelings in this game. Dont get disappointed, if it takes a bit long to reach that spot again. Besides the fact that the main goal is to win a tournament, a secondary if you like is to reach, as deep in the money you can. So as long you are making a profit, it is all good

Congartulation for your first tourney winning! Sometimes it is good to take a break and to try a restart with new motivation- and free money to try it And now you have some bucks to build a bankroll or start a personal challenge.

Congratulations Now you must not repeat past mistakes not to break and get back to dry as an autumn leaf again Every dollar earned is a new opportunity If you concentrate, you study a little, play within the limits of your bankroll and accompanies the luck you can get very far with a few dollars We must have patience and know how to choose good tournaments to play

Congratulations I still remember when I won my first tournament on PokerStars two years ago and a week later I won my second becomes Titan One is very happy with these early successes, after costs remain at the same rate and if one is not mentally well ensue failures It is important not to play beyond the limit of its banking

One of the most important things from now on is that you will remember that it is possible to win a tourney and you only have to know how to make your stack last til the end. Sometimes best hands well played lose for worst hands and we just have to accept it. If you know you are playing it the right way, it will happen more often!
