Out in 9239/219,967 for $51.30 after 6 hours.

Got card dead the last 2 hours and finally forced to shove with 7-7 and 7 BB's left and ran into 10-10.

I started the day with $0.04 on PS and ended with $62.01 after using 2 of the tickets, so not bad overall.

Congrats to everyone who cashed.
I was out in 15,321st place, for $37.50.
Only took me 5.5 hours. haha
Was down to about 12 BB and shoved with KK.
Villian had ATs, so I was leading.
I caught my third K on the river - which was the card he needed to catch his straight!
Bummer.

All this time Stars gave away many ickets , overlays , I guess it's a philanthropic New Eve tournament giving away money lol .

I got my ticket easily with the first sat , I was registered to 4 more , I played the first of these extra 4 like an idiot although I had a great stack , I lost sb to bb in idiotic hand , lost , that tilted me , played very loose the second one , the other two I didn't even get up from my bet to play them , not even unreg to take the $0.55 back , very disapointed I was , lol . I wanted to get $T to play the sats for the $5M , I screwed because of my tilt and angry temper .

Now ITM , day 2 let's go ,

.

I will use some of the money to play the sats , 3 $11 and 1 $5.50 for 100 and 50 seats respectively , hopefully I will have some good luck and cash out some good $$$ , or else I will have some new experience and make some new mistakes , not the same again , lol .


Good luck everyone for these big tournaments . :)

I tried for 2 hours to login on both tablets before resorting to the gf laptop... 20 minute update and I logged back in. Playing on a tablet is soo overrated won’t be using it again!! Never did end up registering 🤦*♂️

Fantastic!!!

Good luck in Day 2!

I see there's another player who plays in Cardschat games and is still in this tournament.
'thecondiment' < not the most well-liked guy though as he's been known to be a huge d1ck in the chat.

I do not know him to tell you the truth :)

But thank you for the good luck :)

I had a lot of good luck , I made mistakes , like shoving more than 40 bigs on the SB to the BB , which called for 14 bb with A7s , ofcourse A on the board as always lol , etc , but another hand would have came later to absorb the consequeces of my mistakes .

Anyway , it's a wrong shove or two wrong or unlucky shoves and I go to sleep , 50 blinds is not so many at it may sound .
But thank you for the good luck anyway . I am so biassed for my luck now , that I won't close pokerstars App until the game starts again , I set up laptop not to close at all , only the monitor to switch off , not the laptop . I try to find a way not to be logged out due to inactivity , maybe put the mouse over the poker table and put sth on the mouse so as to be on the click position all the time , wtf , lol :D I want my luck to go on . I also see others haven't sat out/gone away yet , lol :) I always say that when I have a bad session , then restart the poker application ,lol :D maybe RNG will stop f** me , maybe bad luck will change , but If you have good luck , go on playing !!!:D Casino style !!!:D



***EDIT: In the previous post I was talking about some sats I played . I Also played a $5.50 for 100 seats was it , I think 100 not 50 , i had A8 on the BU , I said raise a lot to steal the blinds , but BB called , A on the flop , rainbow dry board , I bet a lot , he called again , called turn ,shoved river , he had 54o , that hand also made me thinking that these high limits and stakes are not for me , better stickto <$1 sats and <$1 games , they are crazy , they have programs , bots , advances , or they know how to play with the stupid RNG and it's odds calculator programm , disguisting , to be eliminated this way , with 54o , maybe he was a fun of Moneymaker ?? F*** !!! :D:

Not sure how much of this ^ you are joking and how much for real.... but a suggestion to you... FORGET about the RNG!
And, not knowing exactly how the hands played out that you've described but perhaps they are better at hand reading than you'd anticipated ($1 mtt players don't typically hand read/range read... more often it's just Level-1 thinking "I have XX" )
Maybe when sizing your bets, instead of thinking along the lines of whether or not the bet size is large enough to make villain fold... think about the sizing you'd be using if you actually HAD what you are trying to represent having. (make it believable).
Just an idea/thought.

gl in Day 2

PS - 50bb's is HUGE! at this stage of the tournament!

Only 544 of 219,967 players, congrats! The dream is alive. I think only you and another community member who passed for day 2.

Comfortable stack! Now is to put this "philanthropy" of the PS to work. :D

We are with you!

Let's goooooooooooooooooooooo

On Android, the app stopped working and did not show a single tournament, even the daily tournament cardschat was not restored, so everything passed me by, but I'm already used to it, the app continues to disappoint.

Beautiful opportunity, which should not be wasted if possible, luckily we get the juice out of an 11 ticket and transform it into 22 dollars. Tough elimination KK vs TK (straight my opponent) we started 2021 well adding. :)
