Only 60 players, so not the biggest prizepool.I stop 90$ up and return later and play in a small 10$ omaha tournament.Im in the lead almost from the start and staying in top 5 all the way and chipleader alot of the time and i end up taken down 2nd place and 120$ A very good start and my bankroll has increased from 1100$ to 1300$ I really like playing at pkr the poker games are just crazy there and its so easy to find a action packed table with at least one maniac.The support is very fast and good though, and there are also some good multi table tournaments.
Eurolinx is an ok site but there is just not so much action all the time as i like.Flop comes 2-2-10 and i bet the pot.I raise the pot preflop and get 2 callers.One player calls and the turn is a jack.I have about 35$ left and after thinking abit i move all in, hoping it looks weak.With the 500$ bonus cleared and 150$ paid from my rakebackdeal i started today with 1100$ I started out good at a 25-50$ nl holdem and doubled up with j-j.I now just check it (im last to act) and the river brings a Opponent now bets out ery small, 4$ in a 40$ pot.D Dahm its good to be back.He thinks for a bit, calls and shows 4-4 ?I have finally cleared the 500$ bonus at eurolinx and i have looked forward to moving back to pkr.

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008pkrplayer challenge july
Monday, August 4th, 2008Play less but more concentrated.Im very close to clearing the 500$ bonus though and im also getting 200$ in eurolinx rakeback from the rakebackdeal poker so thats gonna help a bit.
Apart from going broke once im down to 200$ again.I need to focus more on playing one table and pay attention to the game instead of just having a table running in the back ground while doing other stuff, so thats the plan for august.The first month of the challenge has not been to great.
A new beginning
Wednesday, July 16th, 2008I get a-q in the small blind and 6 people limbs in so i raise it up to 150 which turns out to be way to little.I look at 8-9s so i push.5 of the limbers call the raise, and with a blank flop im saving my bullets for later.
I get one caller and the flop comes q-8- I bet half the pot and he calls, turn brings a Im now commited with only 400 left so i push the rest and he calls and turns up 3- No problem there, i take it down and im now back to square one with 21 Just before the break i get j-j and get up against 6- But with a 6 on the flop and a 6 on the turn im outta here, nice quads bad luck.He only has a few hundred left and the pot is big enough to call him although i havent hit anything.If he has a lower pocket pair, im getting good value and move him all in.Bummer, im out in 72th place.I dont expect him to fold and he dosent.What a poker beat.A short stack raises it and on the flop k-q-8 comes.After this i play a little cash, omaha h/l pl with 10-20 blinds.Entrances 277 starting blinds 10-20 starting chips 2000 blind levels 12 minutes Lots of action at the table im at, people are limbing and calling raises like crazy.BB calls and shows 2-10 but with no improvement he wins with high card.Blinds are now 75-1 The next 30min my cards are just terrible cold and with my small stack and constant limbers and action its impossible to build it by stealing.
He calls and shows k-k trip kings, so im down to a 4 outer.Im starting with a 10$ tournament today at eurolinx Entrances 238 starting blinds 10-20 starting chips 2000 blind levels 12 minutes 40 min in the tour i play the first hand (ive limped a few times without hitting) I get a-j in middle possition and raise it up.I call off course thinking im only winning the high now, but he shows 3-6 of clubs gving him a straight flush and im dead.The river brings the 7 of clubs and all the sudden the opponent bets the pot all in.I get down to 830 and im on the button with NO LIMBERS.The evening is still young so i join the 20$ 6,5k guranteed thats starting.I dont hit and im down to 11 I few hands later i pick up pocket nines and raise it up.I get up to 40$ when i holding a-2 of clubs and on the turn i got the nut high and low with 4-5 and 8 of clubs.Nothing happens the first hour though exept a few small pots and as we go on break i have 2150 in chips and we are 115 players left.
