Hi folks. I start to play poker after some brake during holidays. Couple days ago i got ticket on party 5,5$ from promotions, played plo and finished about 20 place with 33$ or something like that. Today on bwin with 1$ ticket play same plo and finished 5th with 66$.I was second but have no patience and someone with biggest stake didnt allow us to play normal, raise all time on ft, i lost nerve after 6,5hours and finish 5.

Well i cant blame you that you lost your concentration after 6.5 hours I would have lost it at about two Dont let the big stacks intimidate you, making rush moves Good results at the end. Congratulations on your win and better luck next time.

Yes very good results to you, almost one hundred dollar win from free tickets on party poker ajd bwin sites, this is a.good example to other players how to create a bankroll from zero money, of course like you say you lost nerves and it is bad, but very good results still, do be happy

Very well done to peronibar (also known as aenezaebaj at partypoker, ultrakingbr at bwin), who managed to finish in the money in two Powerfest tournaments the other day. It is a very good return on your little investment. Good luck with your next session.

Peronibar... welcome back to the tables and what a way to return with two very nice cashes. I almost joined one of those powerfest $1 plo games but decided I didn’t have the time, it seems I was right! Well done on your outcome, but remember, playing tournament poker is about winning, not just cashing. Patience is key, especially against the big stack bully

Thank you all. On the end player with biggest stake ,had more than us 5 together,finished 2nd, someone was very patient I guess I played on tablet and I reg late so is easier than desktop.Damosk u can reg till level 12,I think 2,5 hours stand. Plo is different than holdem so you never know what flop will came,AA or something that dont help you too much to double up,I had no lucky on the end. I got again 5,5$ and 1.1$ ticket so maybe I'll inform you soon if I had success

But that is what you supposed to do when you are the chip leader, just bully all the passive players at your table 2 move out their comfort/range and throw them off rhythm.

Yes,maybe we all will do that.But in holdem he cant do that all the time like in omaha

Yes you can. That is what your chips are for. More chips you have more open the range you could start to raise from especially if your table is full of passive/nit players. Because more or less you will always know what they will hold in their hand.

So, having won. A few freeby tickets from the powerfest click card promotion the time has come to use them so I think my first venture will be in tonight’s 1930BST PLO games. There is a $1.10and a $5.50 tournament starting at the same time, so I may double up and play both. I haven’t played PLO for a wile s looking forward to this.

So, I played a PLO tournament on Wednesday and bombed out before the money with some sloppy play. I then played again last night and made top 200 for a princely $2.79. Nit the greatest result in the world but more solid PLO play from myself and more focus. I have some more tickets left so more chances to come.

Yes not the greatest results like you say damosk, but; think omaha is a hard game to play and very big luck need to win something in two tournaments, maybe if you play more and also play omaha often then better results can be. But still make some money do good results
very nice progress after break
