Pokerstar's Sunday Football Tournament

I just played in one of the Pokerstar's Sunday Football Tournaments. Free entry with a reload deposit. It was A $11 buy-in and 5118 entrants and $51,180 prize pool. On top of that the winner receives 2 foot ball tickets to the biggest game on earth and $1000 for travel expenses.



I picked up some huge hands early on and was 2nd place in chips for most of the tournament. I bullied a lot of the table with my big stack and by the time they called I could take a hit to my stack or I had a good hand! Like in this hand, this guy finally took a stand with J9 suited but I had pocket rockets!



Then I have problems with my wireless internet connection, it kept cutting out every 2minutes for 40 seconds. I think the card was overheating so I'm trying to cool it down by blowing on it. That didn't help much. On 2nd break, I unplug the computer and take directly to internet router and try to plug it in but it doesn't work, break is over and continue to use wireless. It's working a little better..

With about 200 players remaining, I lose a coin flip, AK vs QQ. Then I win a big pot when I double up with 99 vs. AK. On third break, I clicked reset "repair internet conection" or something like that and now my wireless doesn't work either! I have something like 120k chips, in a good spot, blinds at 4k/8k. I turn off router and internet, it takes 15 minutes to get it working again..At this point I'm so mad because I had a good chance at a few thousand, if not 9k and 2 football tickets. When I log back in I have just over 16,000 chips. I triple up to 50k and next hand I pick up AJ. I go all in and instantly get called by QQ and I don't hit. If I win that hand, I'd have $125k and be in a good spot to win it.



So, I'm not really happy with 56th place for $84.44 when 7th place broke the $1k mark..But it was nice to play because I haven't played in a while. Maybe next time.

Anyway, here are 3 interesting hands:

First hand, two guys are always limping in so I go for the squeeze play with Ace 6 suited. I raise pretty big too, to 900 when they limped in for 200. They both call and I hit a nice flop! I go for a small continuation bet of 1200 hoping they reraise. I get 1 caller. Great turn card and I bet 2500 he goes all in with just a gut shot.

--------------------------------------------------------


I just won the last two pots by raising 1800 and I do it again with KQ suited. I get called this time and he bets out into me on the flop. I hit top pair of queens, great flop. I call because I have position, it's possible he has a better hand than me and I want to see what he does on the turn. On the turn he checks so I check to for pot control, I don't really want to bet and get check raised all in. And if I check the turn he may think I think I'm a lot weaker than I am. On the river he bets out 3000 and there is no reason for me to go all in because he's usually only calling with a better hand.

Pokerstars - Finally Finished Reload Pokerstars Challenge

So, I finally finished my PokerStars World Record Week 25% Reload Deposit Bonus. I deposited $600 to get $150 bonus. I hit the $1600 for $1000 profit but I lost $200 in less then an hour playing headsup NL50. Man was I on tilt, lol. I wanted to win back the money but I was tired and shouldn't have been playing. And my Holdem Manager trial ran out too. I ended up getting $70 back today so I finished the challenge up $872.

Here's a hand I played early in the pokerstars challenge when I was playing $5 headsup tournaments. What is he doing calling a huge check raise on the flop with that hand? All he has is a backdoor straight/flush draw at the very best which gives him 6% chance to hit by river and 0% chance to hit on turn.


I haven't decided if I want to buy Poker tracker 3 or Holdem Manger. I thought for sure Holdem Manger and I was told by some that it has some more advanced stats and I think it looks nicer but one big problem I found was that it doesn't track your opponents until you played a hand whereas Pokertracker tracks the first 30 hands before you sit at a table so you can get an idea of how your opponent plays first and thats huge in cash game (and this is a long sentance:).

Anyway, pokerstars sent me a couple emails:

Dear Mr_Gene_Yuss,

Congratulations! You have fully earned your Deposit Bonus. Your
PokerStars account has been credited in the amount of $150.00.

Thanks for participating in the PokerStars World Record Week 25% Reload Deposit Bonus, and we'll see you at the tables.

The PokerStars Cashier
cashier@pokerstars.com

And I also received this email

Dear Mr_Gene_Yuss,

PokerStars is pleased to announce the release of two new account security enhancements which will help increase the security of your PokerStars account. We're sending this special email to you because you maintain a significant PokerStars account balance. The two new features are:

RSA Security Token
The RSA Security Token brings the strength and security of two-factor authentication to your PokerStars account, requiring you to have 'something you know' (your PokerStars password and RSA Security PIN) and 'something you have' (your RSA Security Token) to login.

This feature is a very strong defense against key loggers and unauthorized people accessing your account...

Here is a link about the RSA Security Token. I think it totally sucks and why would someone waste 6000FPP points to buy some token that just makes it harder to login every time you want to play some poker! Not cool:)

Anyway, my next challenge will be $2000 profit in 30 days.
