Yesterday i played in this tournament $ 5.50 BIG Fish - with $ 15.000 GTD prizes and i was eliminated on position 11 from 1690 players for an amount of 126 dollars. At a time i was ranked 10th out of 17 but river sent me to the 17th place with 32 k stack and 17.5 k with 35 k blinds
I managed to win 3-4 all in and in final 11th place was good.

Thanks vaci my mobster friend. Many satellite series take too long of course but this is the situation. I played only 2 satellites approximate 4 hours for 5.50 ticket and another 6 hours + in this tourney. Two much time but this is it.
cool ... I congratulate you with a wonderful result .... of course when you are at the very end of the list of players it is worth trying radical ways to replenish the stack .... and an olline with two 10 is a normal decision ... no luck ... it happens ... but in any case you have a good result .. the more the entrance through the satellites

Many congratulations to you on this result and a very healthy addition to your bankroll. To get so close and not win can be very frustrating but i would take your result every day of the week

Thank you Peronibar and Doubletop777. It's not a nice feeling when you have the chance to climb on the second position and a river destroy this chance but honestly this river helped me 3-4 times in that game. It's ok. I hope to do more in this poker room because i like 888.

Yes CALICUL, you practice a saying that become truth " for winning you have to invest", but I cannot learn it! I always choose the hard and long way, of make a cent without any spend of my money...I know that you have the reason, you show it, but I cannot

Great congratulations, dear Calicul! Good profit, for the investment made. Great tournament. A bit of bad luck in losing those hands, but a nice gain in short. There is always the thorn of not going any further, because one is excited to reach the first 3 places where the real prizes are. $ 2500 would have been nice, but $ 126 is pretty good! To continue on that path Good luck

That was one great finish with so many players. in the tournament. And the payout of course was great, making a very good bankroll, with plenty of choices, in games. Congratulations on your win, with an even better position next time.

CALICUL..... congratulations on your success. It’s always great to win something from a freebie ticket or a low buy in satellite, it’s aalways nicer when you make a tidy sum doing so. Shame about dropping from tenth but well done on fighting your way back up to eleventh. Look forward to seeing you at the tables.

Thank you all, for congratulations and good luck with your games. Damosk if you play the same games like me it's possible to meet sometimes at the tables. Vaci i have a ticket 16.50 $ and i want to play this week do not expire. Maragatero you have to play poker but of course there must also be investment because with freerolls it's hard to make money fast.

Yes my friend, you can tell me...cent by cent is a long way! But now I returned to my confortable Sit and Go of $ 0,40 BI and 10 players in 888Poker. I´m in good terms with the variance so everyday I play and win, more or less. For example: yesterday I played 6 S&G, 1 losted, 1 3th, 2 2nd and 2 1st. I won (without BI) $ 3,85, in an hour and a half....it´s good for me!
I also played a tournament but I bought a ticket for $ 16.5 the tournament was $ 10,000 guaranteed,unfortunately the tournament has been playing too long I was tired and I was asleep it was a break and the clock was 3 after midnight after the break I did not extend to play and I left the mobile phone I saw that I won $ 60 and I certainly could win more
