Hello,
First tourney, first nothing. Registered in $2.20 Progressive Knock-out Micromillions tourney. Lost 20% of chips to some1 with pocket 9s. And then got poket 3s and this happens...
Hehe! Set over set is rare and almost unavoidable but I think in this case it was probably avoidable pre flop by simply folding.
Sure set mining is worth it when there's a big pot but when it's 7 handed it's very clear that you're gonna end up with bottom set which is usually 3rd nuts or less. There's not much value into calling this raise tbh. You're only gonna hit your set once every 7-8 times and when you do you might still be dominated because everyone is in the hand and there very likely is higher pocket pairs.

I try some of this interesting mocro Limit tourneys with a nice prize pool. I start with the 0,11 today at 22.00 Cet. Who knows, perhaps one of us have a good run in one of These tourney and win a big cash prize for a low buy in

Hey.... It's that time of the year again where stars..... That is their new name isn't it..... Open up big prize funds to loads of people with relatively low buy ins so there's thousands of players playing a nd lots of money to be won, once you can get past all the bingo and luck monsters that are there. Good luck mobsters.

I played 2 of the micro millions events so far I tried the 2.20 progressive bounty won a 75 cent bounty but I missed out on a cash and finally I tried the 11 cent hyper and I managed to survive the first 1 hour to get to the add on period but after the add on period I got my AQ vs JJ short stacked and the board didn't help me at all and I was out short of the money. I look forward to playing more events in this series sounds like alot of fun

You have to have a holy patience to play these tournaments, especially the buy-in. the first two hours of tournament is a mega bingo. Now if you pass this stage, it is only joy.
I tried to get into the tournament via a freeroll and had a wonderful ... for a long time walked in the lead and had to hold out quite a bit but then started a black stripe ..... and my card was good but the opponent is still better ... . in general, so I did not manage to get into this tournament

hello, Tryed a non-micro this night. I got into the money... but got only $3.87 without any bounty. 0 bounty. First time ever getting into ITM without bounty.
this is the hand that got me out. Played good in my opinion, didn't knew i was gonna knock-out. When you look at this video, you might wonder why not going all-in pre-flop, the one with pocket Ks would have definetly call / raise and the other one might have folded. Well, i tought i might get some chips. Had pocket Ks 1 hour earlier and went all-in pre-flop, being next to BB and no1 called.

So! I haven't had time to play any of these micro millions games..... I don't know what is going on in my world bug I don't seem to be able to find any time to play pi,ET at all at the minutes. Maybe I should just lock myself away from the world and simply play poker game after poker game after poker game and enjoy myself.

Unlucky man, but did you notice that the eventual winner of the hand was the biggest stack in the hand......how many times does that happen? (Damn wheres that rigged thread) - Keep trying you'll end up on the FT with me on one of these!!

Bad luck there with the aces. This is why i am playing them only all in preflop. Slow play is a disaster, no matter what the raise preflop for me. Someone hits something and then calls or chases to the river with it. More successful since i changed to all in

Wow, 7-way pot. I haven't seen that many players involved in a hand for a long time. You played your third-best hand (in the worst case scenario) very cautiously on the flop. I think there was no way you were going to fold your bottom set on the turn.

Well...micro millions seems to have completely passed me by this year... In fact all poker seems to have completely passed me by these last two weeks. I really must find some time to get back into it and start making some money. Looking forward to the next great promotion from somewhere or just playing regular tourneys.
Was running deep in today's .11 rebuy hyper tourney picked up AA one raise before me I shove was up against 67 suited hit my A on the river and lost too a flush good for 1.99. I need one more puzzle piece for the extra all in shootouts. GL.

It is always bad losing with your pockets aces like this. The good thing is that you managed to make a profit for your buy in. I hope the all the other player did was reasonable chipwise to call you with 57 suited. Netter luck in your future games
< I've been playing some of the micro progressive bounties,... $2.20 and $3.30 buy ins...
