Hi,

I just finished the daily 25$ pricepool tournament at titanpoker.com; that's not such, so the structure is always the same:

Place 1 - 10 $

...

Place 5: 2 $

all others nothing.

It's to play 90 days after starting the membership at titanpoker.

Today took part 212 players and I just finished at place 5, lol.

Again I could reach in both tournaments a place "in the money".

2. V-I Liga startet bad, but after a QQ all-in - where three persons followed - I had at once more than 10k chips, enough to concentrate on 1. V-I League.

Friendly speaking, I thought I would not have any chance: One had to come into the best 90 places and when there had been 107 players rest, my position was 105... the blinds comming soon. So I call with Kc5c and an all-in following to the flop, where a 5 lied. This time I had lots of luck that the King appears as turncard. On the display I jumped to position 81, incredible....

A very satisfying eve, cu gn, Ted

The parallel tourns "1. V-I Liga" and 2. V-I Liga" are over now (for me) with good results "in the money" that add 5 points to the monthly balance. Unfortunately the second league tourn endet one place before the final-table, so that additional 5 points could not have been taken.

The opponent "007andre" did steal the last BB so that the following SB was automatically all-in and the end...

At the other table the person with most few chips could survive only a little bit longer...

It was the second time after November 1st, that it came to that ranking, ouch!!!

And, just by the way, this "007andre" gave me the k.o. in League I two minutes before, I#ll keep him in mind, sure...

gn cu Ted

Todays results did again not bring five instead of only one participation point for the monthly table.

But this time the motivation was good, the cards also good enough but there was only a weak concentration.

Especially in Liga 1 I was in the money when it took only 20 persons to let the bubble burst. But when I had in the BB A,3 and the dealer wanted to steal my blind I called his raise, in the flop was a K high and he raised again, I called - stupid, I know - and finally in the river I got a 3 so that I thought that he would bluff and  followed his next raise. But he didn't. He had the King...So I came down from a secure number of chips to only few.

Then I got As 4s and first wanted to go all-in, but several persons followed a raise, and I wanted a one-by-one situation, so I fold. Next hand should be my hand (...). First time in this tournament I got AA and it was my all-in of course, a hichip-player called with AsTs and I was happy. What can be better if you go all-in and your opponent has also one Ace?: In the following flop had been three spades...Uncredible. The probability is 1/4 * 1/4 * 1/4 = 1.5625 %

Flush for him and OUT for me. All-in & all-out. GN folks!

Yesterdays eve: Two tournaments and two times early outs.

In the 2nd V-I Liga I can say, that I really never had good cards. In 78 hands the best was 5,5 followed by a call and getting a third 5 in the flop. This hand was won but that was all. The chips became less and less. A continously die. So place #288 out of 693 participants was the best to achieve. Ther are some days...

Then 1st League starts at 2:30 p.m. ET and the poker-world looked other: I really got a 9,9 in 15th hand. This was my chance to lose ots of chips. The consequence was an early out (#320 / 577 participants).

Today is another day and worse it can not be!

By the way, after this debacle I played first time "Speed Poker" at Titanpoker.com.

It's really funny, but you must be careful with the money. I'll tell about it later (I hope ...)

Somehow I always lay my focus on less important tournaments. So today the 4k tourn at 888poker.com had only 1170 participants but the first 250 in the money.
