Thank you CC team from the bottom of my heart for the opportunity and all of you guys for the warm support, I hope I did not disappoint anyone. It was something incredible, an unforgettable experience. It's pretty weird, I'm a little upset but also happy at the same time. Indeed, the way I was eliminated was quite painful, but I know this is poker and it happens that sometimes things don't go the way we want. Unfortunately I didn't have a stack that would allow me to do too much on the Day 2, I hoped but it wasn't to be this time. I have to accept and look forward with confidence to what will follow.
Congratulations gabryyyel31, I know you'll do us and yourself proud, good luck in the game and let us know how it goes. I'm also curious how many Stars chests that buy in will get you and what you get from them.

Mate,you got a great experience and I am very happy for you that you played in such tourney.It was a wish for many people but I think everybody supported you and glad that one of memeber of our community got such a chance!GGThere was little time left until the beginning of this incredible adventure. I feel all your positive energy. I will definitely do a recap at the end of this day. Until then, I will try to focus very well only on the game and make the best decisions. <3 <3 <3
Hi Martin. I owe you this clarification. I received 3 blue chests after entering the main event, accumulating a total of 60 StarCoins, a ticket for Saturday's 5K weekly freerolls and 4 Spin Rewards tickets worth $ 0.50 each. I find it quite funny thinking about how much rake the buy-in generated in the main event.
We all know that the rewards program has suffered major discounts in recent years on the platform, at least for low and medium stake players and even at such a buy in you can't expect any too significant reward by opening those chests.

No, please, no. Monopoly destroys everything. When sites compete, it makes sites better and better. It is better for sites, better for visitors. While with monopoly no sense to improve the site, listen to their visitors. What stock market has taught me is when big company buys small company - small company become worse and worse. They can't do or create anything, they do only what main company wants. And when small company is finally separated from big firm - they become better and better again. They can do and create anything they want. You don't believe stock market? Ok, let's look what happened to FullTilt when they has been bought by PokerStars. Or what happened to PokerStars when new owners have come.Of course the answer is totally subjective and one that relies on their being a genuinely reliant method of determining 'the best'. You already claim top spot as the Worlds #1 Poker Community.
However, the single biggest thing that you can do to become truly the worlds # 1 Poker Forum is to take ownership of a huge competitor and monopolise the market. Imagine, if you bought 2plus2. That would certainly appear to be the biggest thing that you could do to seal the deal! (You didn't say it had to be achievable - but maybe it is/may be?)
For me easy fold on river. Maybe even on turn. I would be interested how fast he called on pre-flop and raised on the river (instantly?). You could test by re-raising on the turn but it's too costly.Guys I wanna know your thoughts about this hand the one that gave me the biggest headaches in the main event.
Unfortunately Pokerstars no longer has the Boom replayer option of the hands played as you probably know, and I use a Holdem manager version for micro and medium stakes, so I played this event without HUD, and I can't show you the action visually street by street, but I'll explain every bet line to let you understand how the hand was played.
"ZinkAA" did the min open in hijack, I made 3bet 6.5BB in cutoff and he calls.
On the flop he cheks, I checked back, on the turn he leads big 11.5BB, I decided to call and wait to see what will happen on the river, and on the river he goes all in for about 24BB and put me in on a hard decision, after I thinking very well I decided to fold.
Reanalyzing my hand, maybe I could have taken the initiative on the flop and made a small cBet to test what he would do, but I thought that his range is much more coordinated with that flop and I could have faced a chek raise. What do you think ? Any advice and opinion are very welcome.
Too many draws for villain and you made the right decision on my mind. May be you need to reraise more on PF?Guys I wanna know your thoughts about this hand the one that gave me the biggest headaches in the main event.
