Summary of 2010 – thank you Everest Poker!
Posted by Viktoria | Filed under Everest Poker, Live Tournaments, Online Poker
I would like to say thank you for Everest Poker for the great year that I could spend in the Live The Dream Team. I had a lot of fun and I could play tournaments around the world, including my dream tournament of the EPT Final in Monte Carlo. I had some good results including [...]
I am back – with an ITM
Posted by Viktoria | Filed under Live Tournaments
I played my first 3 tournaments since my baby was born so I am officially back to poker. I started out with an ITM on the first tourney, the Budapest Poker Open – the biggest annual live tournament in Hungary.
I busted after putting my very healthy stack in with an 85% advantage. The same guy [...]
Back to poker soon
Posted by Viktoria | Filed under Baby stuff, Everest Poker, Live Tournaments, Online Poker
It’s been six months that I played my last live tournament and I can’t wait to be back. I will play the Budapest Poker Open and the 3 Lander Tour Final in Hungary and Austria in early December.
I really enjoy being with my baby but I miss the excitement of the poker world a little [...]
So that’s it live poker – for now
Posted by Viktoria | Filed under Everest Poker, Live Tournaments, Online Poker
I got knocked out of the Ladies Event in a weird hand. At the blinds of 200/400, I raised from the cut-off to 1100. The big blind took the 400 back and posted 2000. The dealer announced raise. I said it is not a raise, she just called and that was her intention too. The [...]
EPT Grand Final and 2-7 TD
Posted by Viktoria | Filed under Baby stuff, Everest Poker, Live Tournaments
I am out of the Main Event, not far from the money – 199th, 128 paid. For the most part I played well, especially on my first table the first day. Then on the second table I made a huge mistake that influenced the whole tournament. I could have nearly doubled my 50k stack at [...]
I am fed up
Posted by Viktoria | Filed under Live Tournaments
I played a satellite for the Monte Carlo Main Event last night and came 37th out of 171. Honestly, it is a miracle I got that far. The best hand I saw in 6 hours of play was 77. I doubled up with AJ vs 99, but I haven’t seen any reasonable other aces either [...]
San Remo – hanging out with tourney pros
Posted by Viktoria | Filed under Live Tournaments, Online Poker
We are staying in the Belvedere, it is a 3* hotel, but I wouldn’t really call it a 3*. Internet is only available in the lobby (it is free though!), which consist of 5 chairs and is a tiny place. The rooms are very small and the breakfast is pretty bad too.
What is more surprising [...]
San Remo – out on day 3
Posted by Viktoria | Filed under Live Tournaments
I finished in 108th out of the 1240 players for €9000. I am a bit disappointed as I got knocked out with my KK vs AK pre-flop all-in exactly when I would have had a playable stack again after 2 days of agony with a short stack and no cards. The pot was 325k and [...]
EPT San Remo – through on day 2
Posted by Viktoria | Filed under Live Tournaments
There are about 198-200 people left on the Main Event (some sites published 204 but that is not correct). 184 make the money.
I am still in, but short stacked. The day was like a rollercoster. First I went up to 145k. I never ever had a hand, I only played stacks, people and situations but [...]
EPT San Remo – through on day 1
Posted by Viktoria | Filed under Live Tournaments
After Madrid we flew to Marseille and drove to Nice. It is a lovely little French town on the Riviera. We only had one day to spend there but it was really nice and very pretty.
Then we drove to San Remo for the EPT. I played day 1A and went through with 79,400 chips. The [...]
