First I have to thank guys who were in Irc channel for the support, especially Velak and bckdrflush.

Now a little about the tourney. I went there because I had small downswing with SNGs, so it wasn't exactly with in the BRM borders, but sometimes it's fun to give it a shot.

Tournament started badly, 2nd hand I got AA which I had to lay down and from there I really didn't get big hands. I also didn't luck much, sometimes just won coinflips. The worse time in the tourney was the bubble (42nd place got ~$60). At that time I was some 30th out of 42nd and things didn't look gay to me. Somehow with this tourney like the other 6-max tourney that I played some weeks ago everything started to go OK after the bubble. I was chip leader for some time when there was 15 players left but then got caught re-stealing and lost my chips to future winner of the tournament (he played agressive poker but I think I was reading him pretty well). When we got to final table I was 4th out of 6 in chipcount (I think) and shortly after some short stacks were killed by chipleaders. In final table general I sometimes stealed but wasn't a big agressor though (I was when there was still 15 of us left). After the short stacks were gone there were 3 people left with me as a shortstack. But in no time chipleaders went head to head and one eliminated the other, and then got rid of me (I had KQs he had TJ he raised I re-raised, flop comes TJ7 he raised and I pushed all-in, thus was 47% underdog).

So biggest cash for me so far - 2nd place earned me $2098.80 (which I withdrew already though). It was my 2nd 6-max tournament in my life (in my first 6-max I got first place out of 800 competetors for $400) and probably not the last one.

Umm... somewhere there I suppose, not sure but should be in it.


Think yours is slightly stronger than the one I ordered :)
Got about the same, but 550 W, Intel 2 Quad Q9300, 3G RAM and GeForce 9600 GT (best midrange card, 150€). Also a 22"wide and 500 GB HD :)
