So , did you win it ??? Or at least did you have good luck later and had some good profits at the end ????? And you won the entry from a freeroll , even better
Man , more than 200 blinds you have I see in the picture . That's really deep . I hope you had some good luck
I cannot play well with so many blinds , I register late directly or via a ticket , and play with 50-60 blinds , and then wait for the right time to shove and get a double . Or else , some loose players will be stealing or winning my chips with ATC , even when I have big pairs preflop ...

On the end it was about 3500 players with 3h late registration. I played 4 hours and I was good, I could bee in the money top 400 but my last 3 hands destroyed me, first QQ vA10, I was on bb and he on dealer button and I think he wish to steal my chips. Second lost with AK, and all that was tilted me. I could easy be in the money with minimum 360$ for 401 place.I was out in about 600 place. Dule thanks for saying me about thumb down, if admin could say who is that retard, I don't know what I wrote bad?

Sorry that this did not end well for you peronibar.
I have read of your endeavors here in the forum quite often and you must possess some very good tournament skills because you are very often getting into these big tournaments through satellites.
I think your big score is just around the corner and I wish you good luck in this.

GG , gl for your next games . Sad that you didn't manage to be ITM , but in tournaments do happen these bad runs or bad hands one after the other , destroying all the progress and attempts until that time , and all the time invested goes without any reward . Whe one hand after the other is bad for me , I start shoving my last very few blinds , I don't care anymore , I fee RNG has F me , no need to spend not even one second on this table , I feel doomed in any case ............
I would also like to see the identity people who use thumbs down for a post in the forum , sometimes they are not justified at all , really strange why they do this , as if they do this on purpose , really idiotic behavior .

would be nice to have option like on facebook or some other sites,where you can see who gave you thumb up or down and for sure this people would give thumb down without any reasons! about this tournament,yeah its hard not to play on such a good hands,no matter you would have enough chips till prize pool!who could miss this kind of card and to make even more chips!too bad that you didnt win anything from free ticket!I can see that even last places on prize pool had great value!

Yes dule-vu , I would love to see such a feature , see who chooses thumbs up and who chooses thumbs down .
You know , the ''thumbs down feature can easily be overused in a very wrong way , and unfortunatelly that will have as a result your post to be hidden in the thread (is it 4 or 5 thumbs down required for a post to be hidden ??? ) .
In another forum where I am , we also have like/thumbs up button , but no thumbs down . I suggested on that forum that we could add some faces with emoticons/emotions also under every post (smile,big smile , confused , etc) , but nor dislike/thumbs down , cause it could lead to abuse of this tool by people with malicious intentions towards you spefically , or towards the forum .....

I am sure that everything would stop then and this "chickens" wouldnt give any thumd down anymore,because every member would know who is that person or persons!now they think that they are smart,even when peronibar made good thread,with nice success and not a bad word in it! I am just sorry that he didnt win anything,even he was close!

Yes , winning in such a freeroll , with 10 seats guaranteed , not 30 ., not 50 or more , with such a big buyin of $100 , and in the end not being successfull to be ITM , is tottally sad . If it was for $5.50 , or $16.50 , you can forget it easilly and go on to the next one , but $100 ticket ?? To players like me this can't happen everydy , I got a expensive ticket by 888poker freebuy only once , a $33 , and lost playing very loose when not needed , having not slept at all for more than 24 hours , also very scared sometimes in important spots . The guys who are able to rebuy again and again play so aggressively ..... Anyway , these happen in toyrnaments , gl for the next one , this is how it goes on always .
Also for the rthumbs down it's sure they would be lesshere in BRM , if we could identify them . Btw , I also don't like thumbs down nowhere , not even in youtube videos . The worst of the bad youtube videos would have less than 10like:1dislike , the worst 3-5:1 , the average 20:1 , the best 40:1 , the super successes (or some videos only watched by fans lol ) even 100:1 , lol , rare but it happens . I wonder how always some will dislike a video , even if it's not controversial or provoking , as if they do this with all videos . And this 20:1 (sth more or sth less ) lkes to dislikes on average , on the most videos , , man , as if it's prefixed , rigged , LOL

You have to play many satellites to earn $ 100 entries or more tickets for bigger tournaments. It is not very easy but you can do this on a happy day and there you will have a chance to earn good money. The insistence can be profitable and good luck with that.

Yes , in most sites , in order to win a ticket like $33 or $100 you have to try a lot , with many satellites and subsatellites , if you try for free or almost for free (with some potential addons or rebuys ) . With 888poker $33 freebuys I was happy , very good option to win a ticket easily , only by rebuying small and with a cheap add on , to help you have way far better chances to win the entry . The one time I won such a ticket , a $33 big fish , I din't even rebuy or pay for an add on , it was a GOD mode , I run like a GOD , lol
But winning such an expensive ticket for free or almost free ,, and not be able to cash some profits , this is really devastating .... Hard to forget nice opportunnities like this , at least fo me
