hi guys, i said i would make a thread for Micro Millions closer to the time. well, it starts today! think the 1st even is in a couple of hours, so about to go and prepare for today's session after posting this. after doing well in the last leader board, finished just outside paid spots i think in like 119th, my aim was to do even better come the next one. so that is the target, i don't think i will play as many as i originally intended, the hours are just too mad to play in the majority of them, but i will see what happens. i would rather play 50 good standard events than 80 where i am half asleep.

so anyway, i will be posting my results here, and any leader board successes as well. would like if others who are also playing would share their results too. the 1st event is an $0.11R 3x turbo, which should be fun. think the last one had like 60,000 entrants. good luck everyone for the next 11 days!

late regged the 5.50 turbo zoom with a shove stack lol

couldn't commit to playing the earlier events but got back just in time to late reg a shove stack and get KQss on the button in my third hand 1 limper ahead of me I shove he snaps off A5o and I lose

funny because these types of flips (Ace high vs two live cards) I am losing at an incredible clip (whether i am ace high or two live) lately.

The last few months have been horrible for me just run so bad when i get deep in tourneys.

yeah I had been on pretty big downswing last 1 1/2 months as well, lost maybe 60% of my br. last 3 sessions though have been + though and recovered about 1/2 my losses. just keep playing well it will come :)

take a few days off man. i was honestly in the exact same position as you. so much of it is in the head. i went out drinking a couple of times and to the cinema or whatever. clear your head. this was like a week or two ago.

you can't win in this mind set imo.

I was doing pretty well on PS yesterday and was lucky to have crazy donks all around me. Especially in that 0,11c game..... I got 11K stack up pretty soon, thanks to donk on my left who thought that since it was rebuy he could shove with any two cards even though blinds were still small compared to stack size. I didn't rebuy at all, only got add-on. But from there it went down the toilet lol. Anyway, I don't have bankroll for many other micromillion events, but won qualification for 2.20 rebuy on Saturday. We will see how that one goes.

yeah there are so many rec's+ beginners playing in these tournaments :) ah that is a shame, the last one i had the bankroll for some events and not others, and the one before, like you, i didn't have it for most and had to satellite in. still deffoo worth doing though.
i would recommend using the $2.20 one for another $2.20 tournament, because you don't want to have to rebuy/ add on and can't because you don't have the br. up to you of course but imo would be better playing a freezeout where you have an equal chance :) gl!

out- http://www.boomplayer.com/en/poker-hands/Boom/5900711_4591C147BA
could have 3 bet got it in but v these players just thought it was fine 3 bet shoving 25 bb's although it is slightly on the large side. lots of sticky players behind who will cold call 3 bets. and there was already a decent amount in the pot. bit of a cooler though haha


Did you end up cashing in that event? I myself am still playing in that event and your right alot of sickos are in these for sure, and btw that was a sick cooler in the end. AKs vs AA vs KK (which we're right behind you, very unlucky situation to be in for sure).

I don't know this fold is bugging me, what do you all think? Maybe I should just start flatting it rather than 3betting tight players with this hand
