I need to brag a bit, plz forgive.

Ill bet some of you guys have played in the Poker Stars freeroll tournaments that are massive. The one this afternoon had 4,641 entrants. Yours truly just finished THIRD. I am totally exhausted after 6 straight hours of no limit holdem. I get entry into a weekly tournament with a paltry $100 prize for the winner, but I dont care much about that, really. I was playing for the thrill of making the final table/winning.

By the way, my screen name most places is Gorgonian (so look for that name in the list of finishers there). Dont ask where I got that name, either.

Good job by the way.

As someone said, "No brag, just fact."

Congrats on a great job.

Is it too early to start calling you MattJones4Heisman Moneymaker?

Congrats!

isnt a gargonian from small soldiers?

sabotai · 11-30-2003, 10:26 PM

Great job. I play at PokerStars, but I never enter the Freeroll. One, because they last 6 hours, and two, because all you get is entry into a $100 tournament. Good luck in the weekly freeroll

MJ4H · 11-30-2003, 10:53 PM

i enter them chiefly because stars' tournament software is top notch. it makes them fun. i really dont care much about the prizes, i just like trying to be the best

Should've posted that thing about the free bankroll here rather then in its own thread

Great job!

Third? Pssshh... not good enough.

But really, congrats. How did you get knocked out?

MJ4H · 12-01-2003, 10:18 AM

I got knocked out when we were down to 3 players (obviously) and I was on the button with 55. I went allin hoping to just pick up the blinds and antes which would have put me ahead of the 2nd place player. If called by one player I had a chance to double up and really move up. Unfortunately, both apparently had a hand because both called and I lost to the overcards, of course. Two callers was exactly what I didnt want, which was the main reason I went all in. I think I had 1,100,000 in chips, second place had about 1,240,000 in chips, and the leader had somewhere between 4 and 5 million. I think the second place guy caught two pair with K9 or something (surprised he called my allin with that actually).
