Nice double up with AA vs 1010 mate. Keep going and good luck! Show a good result.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 ended up with mini-cash but it was like a freeroll since I got the ticket for free so nothing to complain about.
Good luck to the two of you for Day 2 !! It's amazing that you can run this good and beat 200000 ++ players to get there!

Honestly this is bad advice. I recall you writing this on the forum a year or two ago and honestly I thought you'd have learned differently by now. There was actually an excellent response about it on that thread (I forget who wrote it offhand).
Instead...
Adjust your play according to the size of your stack vs. the size of the BLINDS & size of stacks of other players ON YOUR TABLE.

Collin, these are wise words from you, which are absolutelly true and all we have to follow up :top:
That I also calling "Control over the Table" - and this is for me the leading principle in Poker, if you aim to achieve good result. Observing the average stack is secondary thing, which is getting more or less important in some stages of the game. I remember that discussion in the past, perhaps I could not explain well my pros and cons, as the size of stack in BB's was involved ... I guess evryone have his own style of understanding the poker game and its details ...
Good results by CC Members in this Event, congrats :top:

Thanks everyone for your good wishes Now I saw them
As for the game ......A disappointment , a great disappointment .
In the end I got crazy , burn the money , burn it all !!!:bird:.
I was playing very well , till the moment I started seeing the ladering in the prizes , the players eliminating , laughing with some players eliminated by me as if it was personal , I was behaving like a complete stupid as if it was personal or it was homegame play money zynga game and not for real money , thousands of money . Stupid . (The reason I was laughing is because of some hands I saw untilt that moment , 7Q , 7sh** , any sh** hand , to bluff , some hands that saw how badly some want to bust you that they are willing to play ATC , as the MF that played later 710s against me ) . I was distracted , I didn;t call with 44s with 2 other players mini bet on the BB with more than 50bbs stack , I could take the shots on the turn/river , 4 appeared on the river I would have taken a great stack , chip leader maybe , or else no hurt , if the 4 wouldn't have appeared on the river , 5 blinds extracted from the 60 blinds is no hurt , shit , that hand hand started tilting me . I was feeling I was not playing good suddenly , very tight for the blind level thet I was , the stack size I had , the opponents , the chance to win . I also opened an $11 sat for the $5M game , and the CC freeroll , stupid decisions , my focus was divided , I am not good so I have to be 100% focused if a game is crucial and these extra games damaged me . Someone limped , I called two times for a stupid straight draw , me on the BB , I lost some blinds , he had 710s the MF , on this stage this is a stupid mstake , at least I should have lead the bet by betting first one bet one bb , if he raised fold , if on the turn I missed my straight also fold so no problem , I played like an idiot . I still got more than 20 blinds , but this hand damaged my fragiled psychology , I went on tilt , I wanted so bad my blinds back , I was seeing that I started getting bad hands suddenly . Then sb raised , me on the SB again for bingo reasons I called with K10s , nothing on board , 2 blinds more to waste , I had less than 20 blinds , that was stupid mistake , more tilted now I even went all in with 22s on SB hoping that the 1,5 bb guy that already had shoved had a draw hand , and the BB if he callled , he would also had a draw hand or he would pay the difference , BB didn't called the guy who shoved first had JJ , set on the board , I saved him lol , he doubled again next hand lol , happy birthday to him lol . Then I lost control completely , the little voice that was telling that the lader up by 300$ was very close was being drown , I wanted my blinds back , I knew Qxs 10bb shove is pure shit , but I couldn't stop , I was praying to get the blinds , he called goodbye tourney .
Man , I have no psychology to play big tourneys , I get crasy , I sell out my luck , my edge , everything . These last 40 minutes was pure burn of money , the characteristic best example of burning money and stupid poker gameplay , also complete self-destruction mode , this last happens to me in many csino sessions recently as well , that's why recently I stopped playing casino , at least for 3 months Anyway , I unregistered from one $11 sat for the $5M , maybe from one more tomorrow , I will think about it tomorrow , after tonight I should unregister from all , my tonight performance was disguisting , I have to regroup .
EDIT:On the $11 sat for the $5M last hand : I knew A5 OOP 7.5 bb was also shit , but on tilt I shoved , QQ after me called , he won , so I opened this sh** sat table for nothing , f*** , now I more furious ....
I have to think a lot of things , withdraw from PS and ACR , play only freerolls and tickets , study a lot , build psychology and calmness , not thinking or feeling anything during a session of game , only the game itself and playing with the knowledge I have until that moment , taking risks out of my knowledge within the limits that my stack of blinds and the level of the tourney permit . Fu** , big F***....
EDIT: Also see the laddering only if it'sfor an all in/shove , if it's to delay with my time bank so as to get the next prize if I lose or if I am extremely very short stacked and I have to take some time so as one two players to eliminate to get to the next prize ifit's to shove next or after 2-3 hands , that's a strategy within the understanding of everyone , but watching all the time the ladering is stupid and meaningless , at least for low places , under top 18 or tpp 45 or sth like this . Now I believe this . It makes me anxious thinking about it all the time , I start playing more tight , and I do not realise that I do it on real time,

Yes , first thank you for the congratulations
Second , I think it was , unfortunatelly , more than 10 blinds , it was a shi*** hand , the definition of a sh***hand , to be exact , if it was Jx , someone , then , could speak of chip dumping , lol . So , NO reason to post the hand here
The person who played this game and lost the final hand , if he wishes ,might post it , or another person might do so if the final hand is not sh*** , so everyone can say ''gg'' , ''unlucky man'' ,'' next time you get them '' , oh man , ul , you did your best '' etc etc . If it's a shit*** hand , what's the point to show it to the world ??? Even if the player has mentioned it in his post , before or after you . Just a friendly advice , senior apprentice

Why "shi*** hand" (as you said)? A "great disappointment" (in your own words), maybe?
I'm here reading what you wrote:
"I still got more than 20 blinds , but this hand damaged my fragiled psychology"
"I have no psychology to play big tourneys"
You can deal with it?
