Shooting for the 19.9k up top though of course!

6/15

mincash is $823.

Looks like I'm screwed for my challenge then.. lol

still confident you won't beat my 5 cashes

5/5 legooooo

Let's hope I can make a comeback here!

Bummer, got 5th place.

Still, managed to win myself 2.7k so who am I to complain!

My 2nd MicroMillions FT, so obviously very happy with this! Of course I wish I would've won the thing and won 19.9k (:( ), but this is still a great result!

My hero

How did you end up doing in event 93?

The last few remaining events are 97-100. I'm definitely playing events 97 and 98, which are the Sunday Storm special and Main Event, respectively. I will probably play event 99 as well and might end up skipping the closing event, event 100.

Now that I have a much larger bankroll, I can finally play somewhat higher BI tournaments again, so I am basically back to where I was before I started withdrawing. Despite my very nice cash, I will not be withdrawing anything. I'm just going to use this money to allow myself to play higher BI tournaments, which consequently will help me improve as a poker player. Just withdrawing all the time and continuing to play $1-$4 tournaments won't do my any good.

So with my current BR, I'm including Stars tournaments up to $13.50, though I will of course still be playing plenty of lower BI tournaments, meaning I'm still working with an ABI of well over 300 at this point, which is most certainly a good thing considering the high variance in MTTs.

Let's see if I can finally make that push to the somewhat higher stakes this time around!

Good luck at making money and playing highter stake poker , i would love to play highter stakes as well as i have heard , that lower stakes poker is much more difficult then highter stake , because of the big competition

Super job Tino, well done indeed! ♠_cool:

Made my day so much better, so thanks for that.

How did you end up doing in event 93?

No good I'm afraid.

Not able to grind MTTs today due to a 6am start in the morning

Been concentrating on 9 mans and feel I'm making some progress. Tim 64 is a great guy and so easy to talk to. I will be having more sessions with him so will hopefully be moving up through the SNG stakes in the future.

Like yourself I love MTTs but at the moment they just aren't possible with my work commitments.

Hope your success continues mate Best of luck! You'll need to build up a decent BR for next years Goliath. Hope to meet up there eh?

Ah, that's too bad.

Great to hear you're making progress in SNGs though

Hope your success continues mate Best of luck! You'll need to build up a decent BR for next years Goliath. Hope to meet up there eh?

I hope so as well!

And yeah, we'd better be able to meet up there next year

Bummer?

I use that term for something bad ♦

Or has it reversed polarity, like "sick"

Congrats either way!!!

Well it was a bit disappointing since there was 20k up top I guess ♦

I think I was a bit too excited about making a comeback, which didn't end up happening. I guess "bummer" was a bit misplaced there though

edit: also last night was a fail

I don't think it was misplaced. You know it Tino!

MTT players are never happy. Fact. We forget about all our good fortune getting us to an FT. Imagine losing Heads up in a WSOP ME. How would you feel? Even after banking a few $million$ we would still be pretty disappointed. Bummer indeed!

Fair point!

One thing I disagree with though, and that's that I forget about all the good fortune I had. Because if it wouldn't have been for this hand, I would've cashed only ~$100 I think
