1M $ freeroll at GG now on schedule

[Andyreas]

Another try to improve my stack. No time due to Christmas visits ahead, so jammed AJo and JTs calls.

First double up ✅

Then AQo and raise to 4 BBs over a fish limper. Someone 3-bet jams for 14 BBs and ofc fish calls. I decide to 4-bet jam for 50 BBs.

Fish has me covered and calls. He reveals 98s (🤣), 3-bettor gets in with 66.

Flop brings a 9 and river a 6. GG to me. 🤪

What I have to say about this is good luck on your next attempt.😁🤞

 

[Dimidrol2]

did anyone manage to qualify yet ?

Yes! The average stack of 20BB has passed on day 2, but since you can still play. I'll try to improve it.

 

[balo]

I qualified for Day 2 , (5%) I did not play many times since I have been busy with family.

My stack is very little so I will try to play a few more to increase the stack.

 

[Dmitriy_rus7]

I did it😂

 

[Poker Orifice]

Oh my it’s not looking good for New Year’s Day! I scrolled all the way down and I am at only 8.6BB, or 8700th out of the 11k so far….16K make it. But hey like I said the mincash is nice….Lets all just have fun guys and maybe make a few pay jumps !

What do you mean '16k make it'? Is there a max. number of entrants?

I think I've only played 1 of these so far but am hoping to get in for Day2. Can't play today, hoping maybe tomorrow. (injured my mouse arm... so badly I can't use my mouse while playing. << Merry fk'n Christmas to me, lol

 

[Dmitriy_rus7]

Hey guys. can someone explain to me how I can get here? I can’t open the information panel and I can’t learn the rules

It does say so in the day 2 lobby, yes.

 

[Rory59]

They have raised it to 18,000 players now, but also reduced the qualifying to only 3% of each Day 1. The guarantee is down to $23.20

 

[ADRI7HO]

So far I haven't managed to make it to the second day, but I'm not giving up.
I've been going for good stacks to get me through, but now I'll settle for 1 chip just to be there on the second day. 🤣

Looks like they increased max players again to 22k to make sure everyone who qualifies can also play.

But qualifying field is still down to 3% instead of 5% from what I can see. 🤔

You do have the chance to get a bigger stack though
You can still try stage 1 once per day

 

[Rory59]

Trying again in 3 hours……

Do we win 23 dollars just by making day 2? I managed to make day two today after 5 tries, i managed to get a good stack also, 76 BB.

[WrongUsername]

too bad can´t hold a hand ahead, but it´s very nice promo

 

[Gritz18]

The hand limps for me, so I just called, I hit the nuts on the flop, and QJ's villain goes allin after hitting the J on the tuner, and of course I had to call, I just didn't expect the 10 to appear on the river, my luck continues to be incredible in this tournament.👍😁

 

[Andyreas]

Darn it.

I decided to take a risk with jamming AKs over a raise with 25 BBs but I definitely need to trust my gut feelings more:
The guy had a VPIP of around 50 but his PFR was less than 10.

So can you guess with which hand he had raised? Luckily "only" Jacks but still no Ace or King came to save me. 😅

I've always played this tournament at the last available time, which would be 9pm here in brazil, today I'm going to try again, but I can already smell bed beat in the air.😁

Today I already played it and in fact it’s not that difficult to get through the second day. I collected 13.000 stack, but since I wanted to double or triple my stack because I'm already have in the second day of the game 10.000. I made a very bad bluff and ran into AA😂 Well I just tried. It's OK. There is simply no point in going to the second game again with 10,000 chips. I took a risk and got screwed🤣😂
but if I had not already been on the second day, I would not have taken the risk and passed.
so it’s not difficult, you can say I passed it 2 times in a week and still have attempts
so for those who haven't passed yet, you have every chance. just find 2.30 time since it takes a very long time

Very nice stack!

I am not so sure we are in the money starting Day 2 ?
