Hey guys. I wanted to share my success with you. Recently I played in a 180 people sit n go on full tilt. There were no money rewards. However, winner got a ticket to 240 dollars buy in tournament sattelite. And gueess what? I won it! Got extremely lucky because at the start of final table battles I had only 3k chips. But somehow I managed to take the win after (i think) pretty solid game when we left heads-up. Could look kinda silly for you, because I didn't win any money yet and I will also have to fight in sattelite in which I could lose. However, it is quite a good experience in playing in these kind of tournaments and final tables. Wish me luck in the sattelite! Here some of my played hands on final table:

Lucky hand 1:

Opponet had KK. Lucky huh? But you can't win tournament without a bit of luck.

Here I tried to steal blinds, but got called. Was fortunate once again.

Lucky Hand 3:

Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$5000/$10000 No-Limit Hold'em (4 handed)

Known players:
[tg]SB$31226.00:///////;BB$90638.00:///////;CO (Hero)$82136.00:///////;BU$66000.00:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is CO with K:s, K:h.
Hero raises to $20,000.00, BU folds, SB raises to $30,000.00, BB raises to $40,000.00, Hero raises to $82,136.00, SB calls $1,226.00, BB calls $42,136.00.

I was favourite here againt A8 and A2. That was probably the last hand before leaving heads-up. KK helped me to build nice stack and keep things under control later in the game.

Opponent called with J4s. Don't know why, but I think he realised he's done. After this I won my first tournament.

Congratulations! By the way, if you don't want to play in the satellite, you can unregister and get the buy-in in T$ if you'd rather pad your bankroll. So you don't have to fight in the satellite.

Still, well done: I've never won an MTT (Though I don't play all that many of them)
