THE MTT RESULTS THREAD

[crack]

Lo and behold I go and win that Limit Holdem Tournament again. Now if only it meant more than $800 I'd be even more over the moon.

I just turned Gold on Stars and played their 20k and 100k freeroll last saturday. About 4500 people playing the each.

Came in on 2nd on the 20k, that gave $1,7k... Played bad HU, got a bit tilted after my KK got beaten by AJs (runner runner flush)...

I'm happy though, no deal no tears, and my biggest tournament win yet...

Nice, Crack - what is the tournament format - buy in? Live or online?

[crack]

Limit Holdem just $26 online on Full Tilt. I have a good little record in it, just a shame there is never any bigger Limit Holdem buyins. I checked their FTOPS IV schedule and again Limit Holdem has been left off.

Just came across this thread now and it's pretty neat.

Last night I came 6th in the Stars 15k GTD for about $800, but I have a thread about that somewhere else.

I really like that email.

I made a deal HU so I actually won $6964.11.

Still pretty sick...and I was on the weekly TLB for a day.

kingetje, that 10+1 was a rebuy im guessing? because 460x10$ doesnt add up to 18k

[kingetje]

yeah it was

[exit music]

yeah it was

The $11r had less than 500 people? It wasn't the 55K gtd obviously - when is there another 11r at stars?

[Jernej Zorec]

35k earlier in the evning for us europeans, and one around noon
the 55k is usually late at night like 3 or 4 in teh mornin
and i think there is one more in our afternoon time

[kingetje]

it started at like 2 or 3 in he afternoon (my time), dont remember precisely

blegh.. these consolation prizes are making me sick.... wheres my goddamned $1k+ PRIZE????


i had to get shovin, picked up some blinds here n there but mainly dwindled down a bit.. i had 50K in the small blind. (level: 4000-8000)the button raised all-in for like 70K.. for the SECOND time in a row.. i figured my A4 of spades had a definite chance of being the favorite. of course he had JJ this time...


anyway, im starting to doubt my final stages play... i have an easy time geting through large parts of the field, and even reaching the money. but every time i get there i see everyone around me shoving and doubling up (or busting out) and huge stacks being formed... no flop plays and i find myself trying to find hands to push with and when i find one i am usually still an average stack if i double up or im out after a coinflip.. any opinions on what i might do differently? do i need to start the shoving earlier with the risk of not making money at all?

i guess reaching the money so often is a good sign, and maybe im just trying to see something thats not there and its just a matter of having the cards fall my way...

Gap concept FTW. This call is perfectly fine in the late stages of a SNG or at the FT, but in an MTT when you still have 46K and 40odd people left you might just wanna fold here and wait till you can get some fold equity. Call equity isn't as nice.
