[Closed] Guinnes World Record Tournament at Pokerstars!!

i'm in and im sure many more here will be. We should keep postin throughout like a team poker strategy hand by hand updates lol.

I will ♦ i don't really expect to win big, but the first place prize looks like it will be atleast $25k as its 300k guaranteed

I will, I made a final table yesterday and couldn't go the distance. I'm hoping I can do it right today.

Failed to qualify with my remaining 19 FPP damn luckboxes outlucking me

final tabling this tournament is alot different then playing your usual tournament..

Blinds rise every 5 mins which pretty much means its a push/fold tournament unless you run very good in the whole tournament, in which case you have still been very lucky because your getting so many hands.
Its the same structure as the freeroll i've been playing every week for the last 3 months.

So yeah i think i have a good chance of cashing if i win a few coinflips.

This is the biggest tournament ever.. there's really nothing you can compare it to..

I'm in it as well, hoping the fact that I play turbo MTTs all the time might give me a bit of an edge ♦ But this isn't the one I'm hoping to win today ♠_cool: Although the prize should be nice the field is way waaay WWAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY too big for anyone to feel confident of making the final table.

except for ihufa

the 9 luckiest players will reach the final table. not the best 9 players. that's a fact. there's no way in hell you can reach the final table unless your running like Joe Cada at the WSOP.

Ahwell, my weekly freeroll is starting GL to me, maybe i can win back the buyin for the weekly $1tournament and the world record tournament same blind structure so its a good warm up

Freeroll going bad. not hitting my draws. when i do not really getting payed off. and just lost A-K vs A-10 when there was a 10 on flop, he bets i calls and then an A on turn -.- he slowplayed it nicely though.
I can't believe this lol, so many good hands and yet i still bust. i cash like 70% of the time in that freeroll >.< look at this hand, which pretty much killed me. played it exactly so that donkey's like him would pay me off...after that had 10-K 5BB left i shoved but lost vs JJ..

It has started! The biggest online tournament ever!

I expected alot more replies in this thread here but oh well. GL all!, i will update here ♦

I also signed up I wonder how many minutes I'll last..

I'm still in it, i've just had a very nasty bad beat with AA vs 4-3 suited. I mean come on? he was in big blind but why would you call 100 more (BB 50) when the chances you win are extremely low.

just now i had 77 and 12 BB left. i decided to call the bb.. the same person who won against me with the 3-4 raises to 400.. i just decided to gamble a bit and shoved all in, he had K-Q suited and i double up

some donkey can't laydown A high so i lose some chips trying to bluff. i should stick to my rule to avoid bigstacks as much as possible since they usualy are running very good.. down to 15BB after a few lost pots..

420000 people is the most I've ever seen on pokerstars at one time?

hmm i've never seen this much.

i just made a very nice shove with second pair. He raised to 360 preflop then bet 120 on the flop. with Q-J-8, i have J-K. very unusual bet if you have a pair of queens, i decided to shove and just trust my instincts that he doesn't have a Q. he might have had a J-A, but very hard to call an all in with just second pair.

My downfall...

Doubled up my remaining 395 with 99 after this, but was eventaully eliminated by SB with AQc after my 9bb push with J9o from BU.

well that was it for me.. i busted ~80k. very dissapointed.

I bust in freeroll before cash

then the A-7 offsuit vs A-K offsuit finishing 180th/950 so 80 places outside the cash. in the $1 tournament.

and just now i have A-8 suited in the SB with 8BB left person behind me has only a bit more chips. So ofcourse i shove, he would fold 90%+ of the time. but nope.

he has A-K and i bust...

>.< now i really understand why its better to shove with hands like 7-8 suited then A-8.

GL to all of you.. just not my day >.<

So sick after 1 hour and 7 minutes already 75k people busted o_O

I am just hanging around 3,5k or so and will start pushing a lot now

The only good thing about this tourny is the turbo levels. Everything else is just crap really. I've managed to win over 2 xtra stacks but I'll also be taking a lot of chances ... hardly worth playing if u don't make it in the top 15 winners. So let's GAMBOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL ♦

Ya with these ultra sick antes and blinds its gambooool time now ♦

Was pushing anything late position due to 1,2k deadmoney. Got called by KJs but my T8s held

9k chips and the gamboling continues
