July 25th, 2009 | Posted in Current Events, Hot Topics, Making money, Misc, Poker, texas holdem, what if | Comments OffToday was the last of four PPA petition $3,500 freerolls at Full Tilt Poker. There was a full 30,000 ppl registered, everybody starting with 2000 chips and the top 5400 places paid. The following is notes I took during the breaks.
At first break (1:55pm), game play initially started out cautious, progress going slow but steady
I've got 3600 chips. largest stack is 14,990, avg 2150, smallest 5.
27,905 still in tournament. 2nd break in 1 hour.
Statistics for 22 Hands Street Saw Saw/Total Flop 5 23% Turn 5 23% River 3 14% Showdown 2 9% Street Won Won/Saw Won/Total Pre-flop 0 0% 0% Flop 0 0% 0% Turn 2 40% 9% River 1 33% 5% Showdown 2 100% 9%
at 2nd break (2:55pm), pace of eliminations has picked up a bit.
16,688 players left
stacks: largest 62,843, avg 3,595, smallest 2
mine:1,920
I've had some ups and downs, still holding my own. Playing best I can but decided to do it slowly and let eliminations progress while I wait to decide on actions.
Statistics for 118 Hands Street Saw Saw/Total Flop 36 31% Turn 26 22% River 21 18% Showdown 13 11% Street Won Won/Saw Won/Total Pre-flop 2 2% 2% Flop 7 19% 6% Turn 5 19% 4% River 6 29% 5% Showdown 4 31% 3%
24 hands won so far.
At 3.24pm I was eliminated in 7,790th place after basically being eaten alive by the blinds while getting hands that simply weren't playable (as watching after I folded proved true every time).
This may be the last of these freerolls but there' still plenty more coming and I'm planning to play in as many of them as I can. Coming up on August 1st is another big freeroll tournament on PokerStars and I'm already registered in that one also.
