Best finishing position in freeroll poker tourneys Screenshots!

Nice one bigdk  - congrats.  5 minutes is very speedy. 

Have you tried the fast ones on PKR?  The blinds go up every time a hand is dealt and they start at 50/100.  I reckon you could whoop butt and smash the 5 minute record.  Buyin is 10c and they are "super speedy".

sorry just getting back to post, BUT  I did not come in 1st, however, I did place 15th and won a teeny tiny bit of money $2.50 but it was definitely fun getting 1st in the qualifying tourney!!!!!  i was a bit rushed in the tourney on Easter, as family was over, but all in all who can complain it was free and fun!!!  gotta love the free tourneys over at Intertops Poker!!!

I can't get first even when playing my best so don't beat yourself up about it, It's because of all these fish :( But they are awesome to play in cash games hahahah! :D

A win is a win.  ;)

Congrats krisih - thats a great result.

@ blue pkr does not like my computer its among a list of stuff poker/slots related that will not work because my graphics card sucks to be honest! amazed at the stuff it can actually run!

You can run a light version - not sure if you knew that but yeah, it is heavy on the graphics.  Fab site though and I know you would just love it.

I'm gonna need to buy a new graphics card and get better memory for my computer anyway there is a wee computer shop where I live usually do a good deal :)! Thanks though!

Best result in Omaha 1st out of 825 players! Deservedly so if I may say so myself suffered some Bad beats during the tournament. At the end I doubled up then flopped amazing in the last hand 2 hearts present and 2 hearts in my hand ;) river brings final heart needed for flush to flush my heads up opponent away! nice €10 cash ticket see 500flops and then it turns into money ;)!

Congratulations bigdk - that's a fantastic result.  Very well done and good luck in the tourney you use your ticket for.

This was with a headache that wouldn't shift and I'd been up since like 10am so how I managed to stay focused enough and go on and win it I just don't know! The best part is the tickets not for tourneys its for cash games I play through 500 flops to turn it into cash ;)

Even better!  Good luck with that.

started off rough went down to 1 euro built it back up to 16euros at 5/10cent blinds then suffered awful defeat in hand had a boat and they had bigger boat! sick! had a few euro left and shoved it when I made a flush then the moron gets his full house he shoved with trips when there was blatant flush couldnt have called any quicker then of course he hits queen to make him get a lucky full house! just bull!

That sucks big time.  I'm not that keen on that site tbh.  Lots and LOTS of bad beats all the time.

Normally in cash games the better players prevail in long run though because the fish chase and call too much ;)!

Yes ture.  It's as broad as it's long I guess.

Not actually a freeroll cuz this costed 0.01e to buy in LOL :) there were 130 players ended up winning it, not big win ofc because low buy in. But still a nice 1250x what i paid to buy in :P

Congratulations!  What a great result.  Well done Tenhoku.

There is a bragging thread for buyin tourneys (but I guess 1c doesn't really count) LOL

very good tourney for when you are broke nice find and nice win tenho!

Just won 2 tournaments in a row! was late reg in the mega ticket starting stack with blinds already at 1-2 hundred. Was also playing in €5 free roll at same time went right down in chips then got a few double ups one was particularly sweet treble up through a complete ass who was slagging my skills I made quads on him put him in bad shape and he tilted and bust :P! then at final table I bossed it defeating most of the 9(a couple got eliminated by someone else and or were blinded out) then went into heads up with huge chip lead on my opponent! I just about put them out with pocket kings but they had a9 and spiked it on the river!! next hand i got them again and the other guy folded! so sick! then it was kinda back n forth then last hand I get 33 still have like a2 n half to 1 or something chip lead and never folding a pair heads up I opted to raise they reraised I just flatted and flop comes 245 just such a fab board no big cards they could have hit they bet into me I reraised and it just went up to 6-bet till they were all in they have JJ! then a 6 comes anyway and then to rub salt in the wounds their 3rd jack turns it from straight into flush! sweet! :D

Whooping butt bigdk!  Congrats, you';re doing really well.

starting stack in mega ticket was 1500 and blinds were 1-2 forgot to write in stack size ;), thanks blue I'm trying! ;)

nice going mate :)  have you managed to build up your bankroll yet? Perhaps  time to up the stakes ? ;)

Yes bigdk - Zuga is right.  I'd like to see you posting in the Bragging thread with some decent wins.  I think you are definitely there and ready to spend cash on tourneys.

I used to play a lot Sit n Go tournaments and won lots from them, but now that i'm completely slot addicted, i play poker much less :(

I will do soon! I run great in these free or cheap to enter tourneys then the second I put money into a tournament it just doesnt win with the exception of a few. I need to try again though think I have good strategy now ;)!

Poker is cheaper surely?  $20 goes a long way in poker....or about five minutes slot time  ;D

Yea it is blue. But the exitement and faster/bigger winning possibilites on slots, is probably the reason why i got so addicted to those.. And also with 4 kids, it is hard to concentrate on poker :D

don't have many winning pictures tried my luck in a €1 500gtd tourney but just couldn't get anything always run better and get better spots in the damn free rolls! my time has to come in one of these biggys soon though! Id that better stakes for you and zuga :P! I did give it a bash but as I say no good hands and then got sucked out on yet again! then think my kings ran into aces and I was just doomed! but still won a rocket in 15mins so not bad!

Nice going there bigdk. Congrats :)

Very nice bigdk.

Perhaps you should try small buyin tourneys to start with.  They are very different to freerolls.

I figured 1euro was small though. I literally got no hands and when I did pick up something decent this one guy always calling and he always had it! You just can't cbet these people hopefully I'll pick up some nice spots in my next tournaments! never giving up though! I do now take a day off if I have had really bad day though just to calm down ;)

Came really close to winning at elast 50 bucks bonus money but busted with A10 that ran into QQ only had less than 5 bbs left so would do the same again! if only I'd had AK though! 5 places off the money :( the prize pool was 1000 bucks!

So close and yet so far.  Very unlucky.

Again just busted 3 spots from the money! Luckily not a big amount but I hate bubbling so bad! Had 99 and 42k stack blinds at 4-8k I get 99 and only one person behind to call he has 160k so I shoved it in he practically instacalled me with k10!! what a bad call that is relying on 1/3 of his stack with a gammy king! Am I wrong here? how on earth did this moron get so far playing like that!? of course he flops a 10 and I get no 9 or straight! bull! I would never call with k10 off that close to the money and risk 1 third of my stack just beyond belief!

I hear you.  I would never call a raise with k10 off either that close to the money.  In fact, I sometimes fold good hands I would normally play and let the rest fight it out.  I have done this a few times and came in the money. 

medtrans

I wouldn't have called that close to the bubble either.  Like medtrans, I throw good cards away just to make it to the money too.

I remember a freeroll on PokerStars and I was a few away from the money - the worst prize was $90 and I folded some great hands just to make it to the paying places.  I did win $90 after being anti'd to death.....I just scraped through.

only 1 euro ticket but can use it on mtt tournaments with up €500 prizepool $$ $$

A win is a win!  Well done bigdk and good luck with the €500 tourney.  It would be nice to read that you won something in it... :-bd

And then I made the money again @ wsop first time in liek a year! 57th out of 1600! best result in a field to place ratio for a while!

Some other pics of me nailing these fish too...

Top 3.5%  A great result.  Well done bigdk.

Played RAZZ like a boss! If a few people hadn't sucked out I may have gone on to win this one still 9th out of 324 and a nice €2 ticket I am just about to use is a nice result believe it or not probably only 3rd time I have played it LOL :D $$

Other pic is from unibet flopped fantastic!

Nice ones bigdk. congrats  :)

Top 3% (well just under) - a great result bigdk

I think I played maybe one or two razz games (by accident) and had to quickly find the rules.  I still didn't know what I was doing so you did extremely well considering it's not "your game" as it were.

Basically you get drawn 7 cards and only a few get shown to opponents the rest are hidden. You need to make lowest hand the best hand is a-5 wheel 2nd best 23456 etc etc ;)

10th place in the $250 depositors freeroll ;)! Went out in pretty gross circumstances shoved k9 with under 2 bigs left villain calls with fn 23 off suit and hits straight draw and pair no king or 9 for me unbelievable arrogance!!

16th out of 514 went out in annoying circumstances have a straight draw and a pair of Jacks get put all in and the biggest donk at table has a set of 5s!! grrr!!

Well done bigdk -  a great result but you should never has lost that last hand to 23 off.  I see this happening more and more on poker sites.  It gets a bit annoying that's for sure.

finally some money spots again at netbet and unibet :) unibet particularly good 8th out of 594 and a nice €1 mtt ticket ;)!

Good to see you back on form bigdk.  Good luck with the tourney ticket.

That's one of the my winnings in Triobet freeroll some months ago.[/img]
