BRAGGING THREAD

...and brag you should!  Well done Sommi; that's impressive for just 40 mins.

Yeah, too bad I was getting sets over sets, quads over quads, suckouts and so on for much more cash than that  LOL I feel so unlucky recently :P

you not alone sommi :D i quited poker because of bad beats.. every time i got busted from the tournament because some fish playing like a crazy and get lucky.I feel bad after playing 6 hours in the  tourney and done with minimum payout.. no satisfaction at all.

Just finished 2nd out of 1147 participants and won EUR 25 token. Not too bad.

Congratulations Gregjo - a great result with so many players.

Nicely done Gregjo, congrats!

Well done  Gregjo :)

My opponents were LAGs (most of them) so my TAG style was enough to win the tourney. Not a big cash, but 1st places are always welcome  :D Buy-in: EUR 2.

Huge congrats Gregjo.  I agree, first place, no matter what the payout, is a very welcome result.  Well done.

Not bad at all Gregjo, congrats!

Cool tournament at 32Red, a slightly different structure, the short stacks are eliminated, and survivors receive the prizes, portioned.

In the best hand I was forced to do all in, the tournament was ending and I was going to be eliminated, I won with J 2 x 8 6 LOL

That's a solid result Advoghado, congratulations!

Way to go medtrans, congrats!

That's brilliant Medtrans.  Congats!

These are just a few of my latest wins at some places I play. Global, SB, BOL, Atlas. Mostly NLH

Nicely done TW82, those are very good results. Congratulations!  

Scolling through the threads (topics) I came across the 'braggin' thread'; First things first, I don't like to brag & I just found posting my personal 'victory' too private, intimate, and didn't wanted to.
On second thought can it do any harm to sharing that result with everybody. I figured out that only major ships and another min. amount win can only do. Or I categorize myself wrong. Nevertheless here it is I don't exactly remember the precise stats;

site name: Full Tilt Poker

game type: Texas Hold'em No Limit

tournament name: Sunday Mulligan

buyin: +- $ 215,-

number of entrants: +- 1K

your final position: 8th

best hand: Description bottom list

prize: +- 5K

Best hand isn't the best hand I played nether a hand that I win. It will be the last hand that I played in that MTT and will draw a rough sketch from it cause I don't remember it precisely and haven't the tools to find it back in our (hand)history(book)

KQo in CO

Mid (UTG plus two) open-raises 2.5x

CO 3-bet 2.8x

BB calls

UTG+2 calls

Here the guessing parts starts, the moral of the story.

Q 9 6

UTG+2 bets

CO 3bets

BB Shove

UTG Fold

CO call

BB shows 75o

Q 9 6 T 8

BB could be SB, 2.8 times could be 2.6 and the +2 could be +3

I will post it if I found it and with stacksizes and precise numbers you'all can put more value on the hand & ofcourse my post. Also complaining about how I was ahead and had a top 3 spot in my sight will come someday later. The 8th place was absolutely not bad when measuring that in that time, in that moment.

PS. I just like to be congratulated! xP

lol won a freeroll, got like 5 bucks, easy money!

hey free money is free money!

Did you spend alot of time with playing online poker? Size of the amount does not always matter..

site name - Pokerstars

game type- holdem

buy in - Community Freeroll

entrant - dont know exactly how many but im sure more than 6000

final position - 1st place Winner

prize - Silver Pass Ticket worth 2500 dollars

Did uou end up rolling it into the smaller ticket bundle or was that not an option if you won the pass?

and nicely done obviously :)

yes i registered my silver path ticket to play on january 1  and i also didnt know that it was just a fake tournament  because  pokerstars replaced my silver tivket into bundles of tickets worth 2500 dollars .

Congratz :-) (Smiley says Hi)

This may sound a strange, but I, for the longest time playing RTG,  Dueces Wild was not sure if the Royal flush would ever come up on the screen.

I, so far have hit it 4 different time in the last 2 years. Doesn't sound like much, but does come up.

Unfortunately they were on low wagering of 25 cents and 2 for 75 cents which is equal to about $250 bucks.

Not a whole lot to brag about, but the damn Royal flush actually does happen now and again!
