    View ( Message | Thread )       Return to Thread List
$22 dollar buy-in NL Hold Em tournament at Poker Stars, 647 entrants, right now I'm in 15th out of 116 left, tourney pays to 63rd place, and 1st place is a cool $3,235 dollars. Stack is about 14k, largest is 29k, average is 9100. Tempted to go into sandbag mode, but I want the big money too! Anyway if you want to check out Poker Stars my login name there is KKingdom, and it's tourney 262996. I'll let you know how I do later. I've never got this far in a tourney this big before, mostly raising all in pre-flop against smaller stacks with Phil's Top Ten and hitting ;)

Busted out in 81st place, saw a free flop in the big blind, went all-in, got called down by a flush draw, river made a flush. I guess I could have gone easy and made $35 but that money isn't going to change my life a bit and I was more interested in the 3k+ 1st place. Transcript is as follows I am KKingdom by the way, it was a coin flip on the flop and I was something like 83% on the turn I figured middle pair plus a gutshot straight draw might be enough to push the big stacks off marginal hands, apparently not a flush draw though:
