Sunday 1/4 Million

Last week, I won a ticket on a satellite to the Pokerstars Sunday 1/4 Million. I played yesterday and I am very satisfied with my performance. I did not hit the final table to a good pay check but I went deep ITM (In The Money), making a 364th place on a tournament with 36299 players.
On the last thand I shoved with AJo and opponent had a KK and more stack than mine.
I did not catch anything on the board so I was kicked on that hand.

There were some key hands on the MTT. Everyone starts with t3000 chips and early on after a terrible hand that I played, I was near elimination by having only t745 chips. Then, waiting for some good spots I shoved and I made, at least 2 straights (Ten to Ace) and I tripled up on the first and I double up on the second, but at this time the blinds were already big enough.

There was also this hand were I hit 2 pairs on a possibly flush draw from the opponent. I had position on him so I shoved to kick him out of the pot by not giving him the right pot odds to chase the draw (if he was on a flush draw). Well, he called my push and he was in fact in a flush draw but my 2 pairs hold until the showdown and I double up again.

The tournament started at 8 PM (GMT Portugal time) and after about more than 4 hours of play (with 4 breaks during the MTT) I was done for the day taking a prize of $130 (almost 100€). The buy in was free of charge because I satellite for the MTT so was a profitable night.

Online Tournament 1st Place

I played 2 online MTT (Multi Table Tournament) yesterday. On Pokerstars I lost at 45th place in a filed with more than 600 people and on Unibet I won the Tournament on a field with 987 players.

I won! This is one of my goals for this year, in fact, my main goal was to, at least, make a final table on a online MTT and I exceed! Being the Nr 1 is absolute fantastic and I am looking forward to make another final table.

Besides this tournaments I am playing my usually grind, the SNG of 9 players and I have made almost last month profit on these games.

Here is another nice picture from the Unibet MTT when there were 4 players left of the 987 and I was in 2nd place at this time.



My goal to this month will be to continue to play SNG of 9 players and build my bankroll. With this prize money from the MTT I will invest on my bankroll and probably start to play some steps SNG on Pokerstars.

See you soon for more profitable updates!
