Sorry my dude for the crash and burn but it sounds like you played some good poker while you you were there. Unfortunately you didn't cash this experience. But I'm sure it was still all worth it.

I'm very sorry for this failure of you in this live tournament from Carribian adventure. I did not stand to read the hands you played but i hope you will have the opportunity in the future to play live tournaments. Satellite tournaments are great for this and for everyone mobsters or players from all over the world
of course we all regret the failure of our representative in a good live tournament but ..... it was the first experience and it's all right to get probably impossible .... or very very difficult .... here you need a lot of luck and a very correct game without mistakes .... but I think everything is ahead

Yes what I think about when I read how you lost in the tournament is that you play very good but get into situations where you have bad kuck, this is normal inpomer you play some tournaments you have no luck, nut better luck in other tournaments, but this was inly one tournament and if luck is bad then result is bad.

Hey StheP. There is always a next time. You might be in Punta Cana, a paradise on planet Earth, again next year and might be looking to make the final table at the tournament. You never know what is going to happen in your life.

well yeah like many other mobbits have pointed this out, I too can add that this was a really unforgettable experience, and especially for a poker fan. to play a $5k buyin live poker tournament is awesome, sure not a result you would've hoped for, but still you put up a good fight, maybe luck was not with you this time, but its a great motivation to continue your poker challenges.

I totally agree with you .... a person went to rest and play poker ... it's certainly wonderful considering that it was all free for him .... I think any of us would be happy to go to this tournament .. even if it did not bring a win .... such an adventure will be remembered for a very long time

StheP promised to show us pictures and reveal certain things from his experience in Carribian adventure and I'm very curious like you(i think) to see his posts. I'm sorry she did not succeed to finish in prizes. Luck was not on his side. Maybe next time after few satelittes i hope.

It was AMAZING there, a real paradise, I didnt even turn on laptop there... I turned it once to just tell you all that I busted main event... meet all the pro's and chat with all of them... met sam tricket, mustafa kanit, fedor holz, bryn kenny, jason koon, chriss oliver, and a lot of professionals, even last night I and sam had couple of drinks and chat for a while, he is preaty awesome guy... other than that, I was evryday @beach or pool exept when I went to eat something... also I was hanging out with dealers because like 10 dealers are from my region, so we talk the same language, and evry night had chill on beach... It was awesome, I am currently in frankfurt, waiting for flight to go home, and after I rest I will tell you guys all

Wow so good to read that it was real paradise, I am very happy to you, and all this happens because of poker and some good luck. For me now in my country it is raining most days so to think of you in the beach all day and sun and warm water- yes this is real paradise. And of course fun to talk to poker professionals

well is this cool or what- having an opportunity to chat with real poker pros, and we're talking about dudes who have won millions of dollars from poker. really inspiring experience for anyone who is into poker, lets hope StheP will use this experience to pump his bankroll to amazing heights.
Posted by StheP: It was AMAZING there, a real paradise
an amazing adventure and even if it did not end in a big victory it's still wonderful ..... considering that it was completely free it's a really amazing adventure ... we are looking forward to a detailed story and interesting photos ... I'm sure that I'm not one such .. we all read with interest about this
keep you posted
best sun and warm sea water to you
