THANKS FOR COMING OUT!
Hope everyone had fun @ Our First FORUM freeroll at Noble Poker (http://www.tips4poker.com/ccounter/click.php?id=37) . Here's a brief summary of my freeroll expierence. Feel free to chime in with yours!
As 8PM PST finally rolled around (I promise I'll make it earlier next time - 5:30PM PST sound good?) and we all got seated - I was excited to see some forum regulars.... TheCaptainJS, Zero and some others were my first encounters.
As we all got sat - it wasn't long before "bigturk" was busted out with his lower end of the flush and became the first victim of the T4P freeroll. I made a few bad moves chasing my Trips and likely getting stuck by a flush/straight trap and was short stacked the majority of the game. As some forum regulars dropped out (adampad - 35th ,Seifer38 32nd, sivtec - 30th) somehow I remained in it.
One saving grace hand I had was :jh: :10h: which my 500 raise wasn't called by anyone putting me back over the 1,000 mark. Then a beautiful hand came into my paws... :js: :as: Zero , raised it to 400 to go.. I call and checked my pair of aces. Zero went all in and I decided to go for it.
Now when zero flips over :ah: :qc: I was certainly done for. Somehow by the graces of the mechanical dealer - I runner runnered a spade flush to double up and now have 2k.
Don't get too upset at me Zero came back with a pair of 9's and tripled up.
NOTABLE Finish: The Pink Bunny (http://www.pinkbunnypoker.com) Himself CheaterAce finished 20th.
So I made it to the first break - which was my goal. Knowing my inevitable crushing was in the near future.
As blinds began cutting down short stacks one at a time - things started to get interesting.
With 17 players remaining I made a bold call with pocket 8s - all in. My matchup was Pkt Q's.
As you already could tell - they devistated me and I finished 17th.
Nice hand SLOPPY.
Busted me OUT :(
And the Winner of Freeroll #1 is...
1.NPR28371625 ($25)
2.GrumpyMonkey ($20)
3.MustangKid ($15)
4.sss2005 ($10)
5.Kcfoison ($5)
