Regards,
Richardor he is just looking at the cashier window for 5+ hours now, at least thats what i would do for couple of days ♦
I like this option the most to be honest I think, but it's far from the truth lol. I finished, at about 11am as stated, so many thoughts running through my head at the moment, still can't graps the idea of this kinda win. Just to put this in perspective for you, my previous biggest cash was around $700 dollars.
Before I say anymore, I would really like to thank Ihufa who has been amazing, he has helped me through the journey of ICM, without him I can honestly say I wouldn't have finished where I did.
Sorry about the lack of posting, since the tournament finished. I literally did not know what to do with myself, I've emailed pokerstars to ask what's the quickest way of withdrawal.
Secondly, I would really like to thank guys in this thread for their words of support, those small "Gl" and "ship it" is really what made me more determined when times were very hard. And boy were they very hard down to 3bbs twice, but knowing that I've got the whole of PokerStrategy behind me (well maybe not the Portuguese side as I unfortunately knocked out Cuco) really strived me on.
About the money though: life changing sum of money for me, I've explained to ihufa, I have been in a little bit of a debt + overdraft over the last 12months and to be able to pay that off and kinda start from scratch with some money behind me feels amazing.
Pokerwise, I would not do anything silly with the money, I'm a very poor player and all I want at the moment is to have a nice bankroll which I can just grind the low SnG's while reading articles and watching videos as it was what I wanted to do on this website from the start.
How I shipped the 82k
Well I've been playing on pokerstars on and off for a couple of years, however within the last 2 weeks I've decided to get back into poker, so I've been depositing money here and then, experimenting what game to play etc as I've played all the variants before. Just wanted to find out what I like playing the most, having lost all my money, my friend was playing a cash game also on Pokerstars, I've railed him for a bit, and he was up, so he lent me $20, while looking for a table to waste the money on, I've noticed the Spade Open advertised at the bottom of the PokerStars window, decided to have a look, and entered the $15 satelite. Managed to win my way into the tournament, and the rest....well I've talked you through the rest with live updates lol.
Once again: MASSIVE THANK YOU to pokerstrategy members, moderators (whom I appreciated very much railing me) and once again Ihufa..
Peace out guys, you can expect to hear from me again shortly !!
