I'm currently playing in a Carbon freeroll for practicing my tourney strategy and its down to 113 players left top 30 make the money. I'm not only hoping to break the bubble but going for gold and aiming for first place. Been a while since I played through a tourney, hopefully i'll stick to my strategy and play tight aggressive to the top... i'll try to keep updating if i do well... wish me luck

alright second break is about to start and i've snuck into first position. Last hand I won to move from 3rd to a top 1st position in the tourney was by playing a 56 suited late position to a limp preflop raise. Checked on flop of QQ2, 4 on turn and i bet 2xBB for my inside straight draw with no flush possible on board. River came with a 3 giving me the straight with only a few chances of being beat by quad queens or a full house... raiser had trip queens and i took all his chips... :)

Now down to 77 remaining and I'm in third position and close to first still, now the tables are slowing down a bit and its time to take advantage of my large stack and dominate the blinds and punish limpers but only with hands i'm willing to play with because there is no need to get shoved on and have the odds to call but i still don't need those chips unless i have the edge so strong players will try to take advantage of that once they see... just thinking out loud

Good Luck! I was eliminated in 206th place by 7 6 off preflop. It's hard to get passed the donkeys in those free rolls with thousands of people, nice job!

Well damn, good job and well done, hopefully if you do play again, you'll end up taking down that 1st place+that accolade you get for winning it
