Well I did it, I made it in.

So I do out get a 6 pack of bud and figure what the hell I will try for the poker stars 1 million dollar turbo take down, well to make a long story short, I freakin made it into it, its a 5000 point buy in, I used 24 points, it was a rebuy and some guy starting talking smack and just got me livid.

From 6000 chips after a double up, I made it to the final table, so im sitting there worried im going to run out of beer before the game is over and poof 2 idiots knock each other out and im in. I hope like hell I can do something with this ticket, I emailed poker stars and ask them if I could have the 5000 points they said no, but they did say if I get another seat I could have the 5000 points, quite frankley the more I play poker the more I realize I suck, so maybe I can turn this into something, it pay 4000 places, 1st being $100,000, I sure could use it, wish me luck.

On a side note, I have noticed something about online play besides the fact I suck, is that when someone starts talking smack it improves my game, this guy put down my semi pro brother who is training me and I lost it, I was not going to rebuy, but because of his big mouth I said ok now im pissed and im going to really play, stupid jerk off came in 178th, I came in first, go figure. Classic example of why I love playing CC players, you all are good and for the most part very respectable, I made the last 2 final tables on CC game in carbon poker. This is the best card site on the internet today, I hope to see a $1000 like titan free roll for Americans, but Im very happy with the way things are going on this site, cheers from madness.

Good job - congrats!

nice job good luck in the final I hope you are able to get deep & take it down.

Wow man! That's so fk'n awesome! It's nice to kick back with some cold ones, play a fun game of poker, and actually perform! Good luck playing your event, and I hope you place well!

Nice job and congrats.

I will boldly offer a suggestion, though (after reading my new book, The Poker Mindset).

Don't let some jerk affect ANY decision you make at the table, even if it's whether you rebuy or not. If you find yourself steaming for whatever reason over idiotic comments, consider turning the chat off.

I'm only a rookie player, but I offer that .02 from info gained reading my new book.

well im sure the beer didnt help calming you down lol but thats awesome.Hey maybe next time go start and argument with someone just so u know u will win lol im only kidding but gj and cheers to you and gl with the ticket

Wow! That's really cool! I wish you the best cards and luck!

Nicely done.

I gotta agree though that losing your cool while playing cannot be a winning strategy most of the time...unless by losing your cool you tend to focus more intently on the gameplay.

I have noticed that if someone at the table gets under my skin a little I do focus more intently and as long as my intent is not to "get that guy" no matter what, but instead to take full advantage of opportunities, and if I just happen to kill the SOB, well, cool.

Hey now! Don't categorize me in with the good CC players. Some of us suck really bad! I'm a prime example. Choose your words wisely next time.

good job! just remember to play smart and think through the hands.

Dude, nice job! If you want, I will get on and heckle ya and talk all kinds of smack. Even under my GF's account. Nevermind, she doesn't have 5k fpp's, so prob. cant chat. but seriously...

right on god bless you all thanks for the feed back, in all fairness I would be a liar if I said I was not afraid, I will try my best and worst case I will at least have a good time, cheers from madness.

This thread title reminds me of this one time I was with this girl... Ah, never mind.

congrats and gl man, Just for your info I made it last months 1mill turbo take down, and here's alittle bit of adivce the 2nd nuts, is just and only that so with that being said and done fold the 2nd possible nuts (if only I had known that last month), bottom line I was out after the first hand of the game, but gl

How many FPPs do you get if you unregister? (5000? - can you even unregister?)

Maybe I will try a sat for the FPPs...

I'm pretty sure you can't unreg and get the points Odinscott.

Anyways, congrats bro, great accomplishment. What would we do without beer...

How many people will be entered? If they pay down to 4000 it must be some huge number. If you play straight through it must take many hours to weed out the field.

Nice job!! I wish you good luck in it, go for teh win!!

Whats nice in that tourney is, that out of 3 players, one will definately get paid!!!

Max. 12.000 entrants - > 4.000 are ITM, with place 2.000 to 4.000 getting $90 already!!
