Thanks guys, and congrats to you too goff.
lol, keep at it buck, I'm sure you can do it. First two tries I didn't even crack the top 1000, just needed a good amount of luck in the early going and everything fell into place.

I finished in the top 50....check the list for this Saturdays round 2...Im on there...my pokerstars screenname is goffman73...plus I dont know how to take a screenshot.All I did thru out the tourney was play super tight...I think I seen 12% of the flops and when I did I played them aggressive.It does also take some luck...but I knew it was gonna be a good tourney for me when I got pocket rockets the first hand of the game...go all in and 4 guys call and quad me up.Actually when the tourney ended I was 26th.
Well just figured out the screenshot.....so there it is.

I agree, the play was from POOR to WACKO NO Brain Play,, you need to get real lucky to get a shot in these, Although, i might use 10 of my FFP points and try later on, When someone here says they placed in the top 50, we want a screen shot of it, ok guys,,,,,,,,,,,,,, buck

Beardyian --
Maybe they've never heard of shifting gears unless it's from poor to absolutely insane play.
I played in it last night finished in the top 1000, but that's about it. All-in's with any paint seemed to be the basis for my table. I played semi-tight in this one with an exception that allowed me to quadruple up and then double up immediately after.
I had TcJc in the BB. Three all-in's two were short stacks one was the big-stack and he'd been bullying the table for a while. Turns out none of them had a made hand. Flop came as TJ5 don't remember the suits. My only concern now is the guy UTG who played 78 offsuit. My hand holds up and I'm the chip leader at the table. Next hand I get bullets. The guy who was the big stack goes all-in before it gets to me and gets sent to the rail.

Really cant believe how some people play these.
Even when they have massive stacks they are still just sticking them in with junk when up against another big stack (also junk) - none of this avoid the big stack and bully the small stack theory
Ohh look J3 os all-in time ok ill call with my 72s
This wasnt early on, this was in the last 1000
Bizarre

Cards weren't coming and when they did I got nothing... down to around 300 in chips to rebound where I am now.. yeah before anybody says it..

OMG- Totally impossible challenge.
Went all-in 1st hand with K3 s. 77 and lost. Yeah I thought, but it took so long to get around the table I had no chance at 10000.
9920 was the best I could do.

lol hey I am playing the next one in 36 minutes.. I have a shot.. cause last night I ended up placing in the top 20% out of 10,000 which by the way it wasn't easy.. One donk crippled me cause for some odd reason calling on a rainbow board with Q showing while I held A,Q that calling my continuation bet with K,3 suited was geat cards to call with(lol they were cause the turn spiked a king).. I remember one table I got stuck at was some other donk pushing 89K all-in constantly.. talk about a folding fest.. I was at 29K while he was doing this... took a few chances and busted him twice ... put me at 90+K that is when the K,3 Donk took me down to 60+K...

Played a normal game - got a few nice double ups when needed, last hand was beaten by my own poor kicker. Happy with tourney except ending.
Just think WSOP numbers would have been in money

OK guys, The total cost to enter these things is 10 FPP
A FPP has a $ alue of 1.6 cents.
So basically this is a 16 cent tourney.
So with that in mind.
I put a challenge out to any of you.
Whoever can finish their tournament in DEAD last
Will get a transfer of 16 cents from me.
And Bragging rights I suppose.
Quite honestly, I think it would be easier to finish in the top 50 then to finish dead last.
Good luck
