Ever notice in pokerroom tourneys how when someone has pocket pair, somebody else on the table is more than likely to have a pocket pair as well. Just an observation I have made - happens around 2/3 of the time

I was playing on pacific poker so they were only $3 games, still very unlucky though, I was so close to the money every time.

Played 5 more today, two 3rds and a 2nd but two 4ths as well, that's $15 spent and $17.50 won so not too bad.

After losing $10 earlier on a ring game I've just won $14 for 1st in a 35 player tournament.  I prefer tournaments to ring games because you can only lose a certain amount, in ring games I don't play enough hands or raise enough as I'm too worried about losing a lot of money very quickly. |

What a storming weekend. Laid last night and just won the freeroll \o/ http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/dazzza/pokerface.jpg740 entrants I'd like to thank Ben who inspired me to play after reading this thread. There's a pint behind the bar chief. Can't help but think if only it was a pay to enter tourney I'd be off on holiday tomorrow. |

Fair play $500 is a big win. Did you have to win another tournament to enter that freeroll or can anyone enter because $500 is a decent prize for a freeroll, you only get $40 for winning the one on pokerroom.

No, but you have to have played 100 raked hands over 25 cents since midnight the previous day. I can't quite work out I managed that as I haven't played since Friday just before peep-show! There's one every day and a completely free to enter re-buy. I've been trying to crack it for a while had a few top 10's and usually finish top 70 where the money starts but you don't really hit decent dosh until the top 5. |

I'd love to Village to but I’m realistic enough to know that I’m not of the standard or have the required discipline to make the investment worthwhile.
Getting there and learning all of the time but I’ve sat and watched a couple of the big Ladbrokes players just sit and rip tables apart including the lowest stake tables giving away serious pot disadvantages.
Think I’ll step it up a gear mind and have a crack at the larger pay to play tourneys -$10/$20 level.
