After I made one more cash these days, I decided to register in the biggest mtt's in Entraction - the monthly €150,000 gtd and the EMOP Online Tournament, both with €200 buy-in. I played solid poker in both tournaments and was one of the big stacks almost all the time in the EMOP. However, I was very short in the other tournament and my play was only push/fold after the first break. In the EMOP I was a level above the random idiots and after this hand I was pretty sure for getting into the final three: Unfortunately, after kleopl and ch1ll3d got busted, the four guys left seemed very good players and plus the fact I was card dead, I was totally outplayed and finished 5th. In the last hand I picked up pocket fives, which was the strongest hand for an hour, and I pushed vs KQ. Q on the river and I was eliminated, in stead of taking 75k in chips. In the 150k gtd I was eliminated when a random guy pushed from SB for 3rd time in a row where I was BB. I called with around 5M and K7. He showed 44. The board came xxx7 but a 4 on the river finished my survival. In one minute I was eliminated from both tournaments, but still I am happy with my performance.
Today I couldn't win the 1k freezeout, but finished 3rd, so I registered for the late €2500 gtd with €100 buy-in. You see what happened =). We were playing more than an hour 5 handed because from the 10 alli-ns, where I was never underdog I won only half of them. Fortunately, I was a big stack most of the time and survived. In the end, I decided to make a deal again. My bankroll just can't resist on the variance and I can't afford to play comfortly at the HU. GG and happy holidays to all =).

I'm already in a school break, so I decided to play some MTTs today. I won the Entraction 1k gtd again after making a deal on the HU. However, I didn't make it into the big money anywhere else, so a total profit of €300 just before Christmas. It's still good =). 20% of the task completed - Unibet Open Budapest is closer and closer!

These are the stats from 21st Nov till 18th Dec. Clearly, not enough tournaments but I hope we'll play a lot during the winter school break =). Btw, my friends are playing 45- and 90-man SNGs so I don't think they cannot reach 50 tourneys till the end of the year. They still have some problems so I'm going to see their hand histories these days and I hope they'll start winning soon =).
Yesterday, after losing 10bi in b2b(where I play 20NL, usually 9-tabling for an hour), I registered for the 50€ freezeout. I played solid poker and got to the final table with no problems at all. Then I managed to get into the final three. My stack was only 8k while blinds were 1k/2k and av. stack of 25k. I doubled up two times and then busted one of the players left. I had one opportunity for winning the tourney but after I lost a coinflip I decided to accept the offered deal. I also cashed in the 40€ 6-handed freezeout. Meanwhile, in FTP I won a 45-man sng cashing $170 and registered into two $24+2 tourneys. With 900 players registered I made it to the ft, but lost on the second hand with QQ. Blinds were 5k/10k plus ante and I raised to 28000 from UTG. MP called and we saw a 545 flop. Bet/call - blank turn but I already had the flush draw. I pushed for all my stack and he called with pocket 4s. Ironically, the river gave me the flush =/. I cashed $300 which I consider is too little as the first was paid $4200 and the fifth - $1000. However, I'm still happy as I doubled my bankroll. Will see what will happen tomorrow. The first step to Unibet Open in Budapest is made =).
Last week I started coaching some of my friends. We started playing some $1 MTT SNGs (45 and 90-man) @FTP. I had $100 in my account and they started with $30. After several tourneys all of them made a nice profit of over $10. However, I'm again at the red line losing half of my bankroll... ahahahaha I also played MTTs from $5 to $10, investing everything i won at SNGs... and little more xD. I hope we're gonna hit the 50 tourneys point till 21st this month and I'll post a graph with our results.
Unfortunately, after kleopl and ch1ll3d got busted, the four guys left seemed very good players and plus the fact I was card dead, I was totally outplayed and finished 5th.

The board came xxx7 but a 4 on the river finished my survival. In one minute I was eliminated from both tournaments, but still I am happy with my performance.
