Sup Peeps,

Umm, so I play a lil online poker, 888; though dwell about the free tournies using proceeds from them to either withdraw or play cash games.

I basically know the rules with a concept of but not the actual odds of hands; I suppose I kinda play the players as much as the hand itself; especially given the randomness goes on at those levels. Actually I have played some $30 buy in cash games in the past and found I could tread water but with those I had option to bail before I absolutely lost my ****.

Anyhow basically half way through what I thought was a $350 cash freeroll thingy I realised was a $640 2 x $320 tournament ticket thing. Finished second by a handful of chips and so now I am blessed with a $320 tournament ticket.

Any bright ideas? I think said valid for 16 days. When I glanced at upcoming tournaments at that price the only one shown was a £12 PKO Royal Rumble tomorrow. I suppose obvious questions would be; is anyone aware if these are the only $320 tournies and if so is there a time of week more sensible to play it? Am I going to need to be pretty carefree and aggressive or is there likely chance I can kinda keep ma head down and try scrape through to any amount of money? Like, jus whatever example; if someone tries to force me off KK pre-flop should I call all-in? Well not should; but would you in my boat?

Aye, yeah, that's about it really, Best to you all!

($12k that was supposed to say)

The best game to play if it is above your usual buy in level if def a bounty type tournament such as the one you saw. This is due to a bounty being worth a very decent payday, say you get AA vs QQ and you end up all in and win, you may only last 2 hours and be way off the money, but you've still won a bounty at least!! This maybe worth $75?!

Congratulations on the ticket BTW, and welcome to the forum.

Ha, Thanks SpanRmonka; I looked for an edit option for 30ish seconds then realising I may well look like a jockey posted again!

Thanks also advice re tourney; I dunno if will change later in week but that was the sole $320 showing the now.

Edit: Ah, there we go lol; yeah I swear that tourney got so much easier the less folk were in it :s
