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 [...]
Won a WSOP Main Event package but out on SPT
Posted by Viktoria | Filed under Everest Poker, Live Tournaments
I won my first WSOP Main Event package for this year on Sunday. First try )) This is traditionally one of the most profitable parts of the year for me. I am not sure why but I run very well on satellite tournaments and the WSOP satellites usually have soft fields.
Of course because I [...]
WPT – Final Table, but only 9th
Posted by Viktoria | Filed under Live Tournaments
It took me several days to get over my disappointment of only coming 9th on this tournament, that is why I am only writing now. It basically all depended on a coin flip which I took with all the risks involved and I lost. Had I won it, I would have been the chip leader [...]
WPT Bucharest – ITM
Posted by Viktoria | Filed under Live Tournaments
This is gonna be a very quick post. We are in the money on the WPT, 18 players left and I only have 25BB for another 15 mins then only 20BB. Not very good. But I was so card dead all day that it is a real miracle I am still in. For the first [...]
