| Someone in the forum mentioned that pokerpages was offering a free tourny. It is designed to be 3 rounds with the second rounds starting this weekend. I played this morning and came in 40th or so out of 300. I played again this afternoon and came in second out of 322. This means I get a seat in the second round. If I make it to the final table and win the whole thing, I get a $10,000 sponsorship into a tourny of my choice. I'm not naive enough to think that will happen, but I am tickeled pink about my placing today. I attribute my fortunate outcome to good cards and bad players. I'm not here to brag because I know how soft these tournys are. Just wanted to thank everyone here on the thread for their great advice and friendly postings. I used much of the knowledge I learned here on the thread to pound many of these softies. Thanks again, Lee | ||

| Way to go! The PokerPages tourneys are fun. When I started playing online poker, I played exclusively on their software. Sure, there are A LOT of bad players entering the freerolls, but it's still really good practise. Pages used to rank the players on two different scales as well - I'm not sure whether they still do that, but it definitely added some "spice" to the competition. | ||

| Thanks Wren. It was only my second tourny ever so I feel very fortunate. I tried to play tight early but play aggressively when I had excellent odds. Later on, when I had a lot of chips, I still played tight but used my large stack to steal a lot blinds and pots. I found myself really thinking on the fly quiet a bit. It was a great mental workout. There were scenarios I had never encountered before. I had never play NL in any capacity before... ever. So needless to say, it was interesting. Thanks for the kind words, lee | ||

| Yeah, but tell that to all the favourites who busted out in last year's final event at WSOP. | ||
