Online Poker

It's an incredible experience, even if I was out after 4 hours. It was my first big live tournament and I cant wait to play another one. After 5 minutes, i double up with Q-Q against an aggressive chineese lady on big blinds.I was utg, I just limped in, she raised 200, I called with another player too. Flop was 2-6-7, she bets 400, I call and the other one fold. Turn is a 6, she bets 650, I hesitate about 30 seconds (I was really thinking about folding coz...all of this for 5 minutes of play...) and i finally said: I'M ALL IN. She called and she opened up a pair of...8. River was a 10 and just like that, i was chips leader on my table. The best feeling I've ever had in poker.

After 2 hours, i had 4,500 chips and after that, I lost twice with A-K (costly) and after a long series of bad hands, I pushed my last 1800 chips on small blinds with 3-3, big blinds called with Q-J off, a J came on the flop and the rest is history.

I want to thanks all of you guys at poker.com for what you did for me (and the 9 others), I proudly wore the shirt you sent me and I told many players the story with CnR and what you did. Everyone was impressed.

Best regards to Paul, Liam, Kris and all the people from poker.com
