Reuter Today

Results

Well no 18000 Euro for me this month, but I did get 46th and cashed 450 Euro, with 20 euro spend on a satellite thats not bad, but not that good either.

won nothing in the 50k, but you cant win them all ;)

100k GTD and 50k GTD

Yes after the disaster for me yesterday in the bloggertour and the Grand Final for Aussie million on poker.com, theese 2 are on the menu today.

The 100k GTD I qualified for on Potraiser but even without qualifying you can get in it for a measly 200 Euro. Thats good value.

The 50k GTD is on my favourite pokerplace poker.com its their monthly freeroll, well thats awesome cheap. 50k GTD for free? ;)

Well lets hope I have more luck today than yesterday. :)

Last people on final table got there in this order. The chipcount is what they had when they arrived at the Final Table.

After blinds got very high on FT, the play tended to be all in or fold.
Pretty lottolike. Saw some very bad beats also.
64 beating KK all in Preflop and the like. But in the end, ReplicantPoker drew the longer straw. You donkeyed your way there and you know it. *lol*
BIG GRATS to you from me. :)

Bugger bugger bugger

Well the title pretty much say it all. Im out of the danish championship.

After getting a good start and at the first break I had almost doubled with 18k in chips.
But after the break it went all wrong. 3 hands in a row I get a very good draw on the flop, but end up hitting nothing and at the next break im down to 10k again.
Then a very long period of totally dead cards, until blinds are 1200, I sit with 8k and I take a chance with A7 suited. Average at this point is 26k
But I get 2 callers. AQ and KK, not the best time to chance it.
The flop gives me 2 spades for the flushdraw but it dont happen and KK take it all. :(

I ended 52th, but with almost 1000 people to start with its not that bad a result, just not usuable for a lot. :( I am officially the 52nd best pokerplayer in denmark. bugger that. lol

Ok, its now 4 hours before the final. :) Man I'm excited. ;) Seems Gus Hansen is not in the field though, strange. :)

Danish Championship Qualifiers

Yes I made it. After 8 hours at the Copenhagen Casino I made it within the 13 that got access to the final on saturday.

The championship is made up of 1 Final and about 25 Qualifying Tournaments with 110 people in each and 13 seats.

You have to qualify you cannot buy in directly to the final. Each satellite have a buy in of 500$ and after missing the online sats for the qualifiers I decided to buy in of my own pocket. :)
So this Thursday I went to Copenhagen casino to play it.

Already from the start it did not go as good as I had hoped, But I really tightened up and waited for my time, was allways a bit below average but that was ok. :)
Then with about 30 people left I started to make some moves and got a few good ones.

In the end Average where about 90-100k and I sat with about 170k so the last 2-3 persons to go out was not that hectic for me, No reason to gamble when you dont try to win. :)

I did get to take out the Champion from last year Janus Gringer, sorry. ;)

The final is played this Saturday and Sunday. Wish me luck :)
