Winners Circle

Awesome, I have to start playing that thing. I have noticed the 70 FO at 1 PM eastern on tilt is super soft.

nice pulls fish

Yeah I've noticed that the FTP rebuys are a tremendous amount softer than the Stars rebuys at an equal buy-in. On the other hand the Stars nightly $150 is much softer than the FTP nightly $150. I have no idea why this is the case but it just seems like all the 2p2 and P5's all-stars play the 20R on Stars but most of them don't play the one on FTP.

Thank you for participating.

My biggest live score to date last night, not technically a win but I'm posting it cos I am still well pleased with myself!

£150 + £15 at my local casino. 2/52 - chopped at heads up for a good deal of £2k

I can finally post in here. My BR is 11k so this win for 5k is really a big deal for me. I was chip leader with 20 remaining. Was short stack when the final table was set with an M of 2 and somehow I won it.

3rd in the Stars Daily Fifty Grand

Great Job Cobere, I know you have been looking for a big score for a while, glad to see you are on track again.

Thanks man, thats my 2nd biggest score ever. Been going deep quite a bit lately, I just need to work on closing the deal. Might see more of me here soon hopefully =)

nice win cobere.

johnny is just ****in' sick.

here's a report from mr. micro stakes.

in the $4 180's.... 29 Final Tables so far in April. 3 firsts, 7 seconds, 2 thirds. i'm kinda sucking heads up... to impatient i think. i was playing two final tables heads up at the same time once though... that hurt my micro brain.

gonna start working in some $20 180's. played 5 so far and had a 3rd place finish today for $420. my 2nd biggest cash ever.

workin on that bankroll the hard way... through MTT's and not cash games.

shout out to mcatdog!

Not a big win, but fun. I entered a $6 limit tournament by mistake on Party. Made some good folds, had a lot of luck and came first out of exactly one hundred for about $140.

C bets often seem to be necessary on all streets to get a fold.

hey i got my first win in the $20 180' on stars. $1,080 wheee!

pretty good for mr. micro stakes.

crypto 20K GTD, 2/179, $4K

it feels about time, although I had a flip to win it, alas no K or J.

when the money gets so top heavy and that flip is worth so much, it was hard to take.

Edit oh fuck I just realised I shoved the last hand with A4o and about 18BB.. in my tired daze i didnt realize i had that much behind..i have a feeling this was a mistake. my zero HU experience took its toll

not a mistake, gg

pretty good day.

got 2nd in a $4 180. $140
5th in a $20 180. $140

and i played in the tournament leader board freeroll (20k gtd).
finished 5th for $1100.

5k would be much better but i'm pretty happy with that since most of the players were better than me on paper... and obviously much better than the micro guys i been beating up in the $4 180's.

maybe i'm getting the hang of this poker thing.

won one of those $24 KO tourneys on Tilt for $3k
