PokerStars VIP Freeroll Tournaments
I've played yesterday in three PokerStars VIP Freeroll Tournaments, and did pretty well on all of them.
On the SilverStar Tournament 28903630 that had 1624 players, a total prize pool of USD 2500, USD 450 to the winer and was paying 297 places I placed 501.
On the GoldStar Tournament 28903634 that had 1075 players, a total prize pool of USD 5000, USD 975 to the winer and was paying 198 places I placed 20 and cashed USD 18.50.
On the VIP Monthly 100.000 Freeroll 28903626 that had 2528 players, a total prize pool of USD 100.000 (one hundred thousand dollars !!!), USD 18.000 to the winer and was paying 330 places I placed 114 and cashed USD 150.
I'm pretty happy with the way I played on all the tournaments, played almost flawless and stole my fair share of blinds and pots.
On the SilverStar Freeroll I was elminated on an unlucky hand, I was perhaps between place 10 and 25, with a very big stack, and was playing aggressive on a table that had a monster stack (I guess he was placing 2nd at that time). I raised to 1075 for the second time in a row this time with KK, and was the 3rd time in a row that I was raising preflop, got monster stack to call (he was playing pretty aggressive too), got a re-raiser go all in for 26454, I poped it up to 4240 (almost half of my stack), and monster stack called. Flop came QT7 rainbow, I pushed all in and monster stack that had QQ and hit top set called.
On the GoldStar Freeroll I was at some point in 9th place, and then started to get cold decked and was left placing around 15 with 20 players left. I had a stack around 48000 with Blinds at 2000/4000 with a 200 ante, picked AKs on the small blind on a pot uncalled, and raised to 28000 (I've been raising the BB for a couple of times), guy flat called, flop came A82 rainbow and I bet 12000 to keep the guy playing, guy put me all in and I called, guy showed A8 and took me out.
On the VIP monthly 100K Freeroll I was doing pretty good, I was placing 6th when we were around to make it to the money, and then got cold decked and started to go down.
I was left with a small stack (M around 5) after a coin flip with unimproved AK against QQ, and then made what I think it was a huge mistake.
Blinds were 1000 / 2000 with a 100 ante, pot was uncalled by the early players and I had A5o. I looked at all the remaining players to act, and all of them had medium stacks except for the Button that had all of them covered. So I thought to my self, if any medium stack raises with is with a monster hand because they are scared of the button so I have to fold, but if the button raises is probably to steal again the blinds so I can go all in. That is exactly what happened, all the small stacks folded and the button that had 52633 chips raised to 18000 when I only had left 7970 chips and the BB only had 15451. Then I forgot all my previous thoughts, didn't checked the pot odds I was offered and started to doubt, and after thinking for a lot of time finally folded on what I consider the huge mistake of the session. Pot was offering me around 1.5 to 1 on my money, raisor has been aggressive stealing our blinds, and I folded my Ace high hand, huge mistake. Why would a monster stack raise us all in with a premium hand? No way, he will want us to play, this bet was just to take us out of the pot. Then a couple of hands later I had KTs on middle position with M around 2, went all in being "first in vigorish" and BB after much hesitation called with A4o, he paired his 4 and I missed the flop and was eliminated.
Anyway, after a few days of playing horrible in which I left my poker bankroll with only USD 148.34 from USD 812.55 in only six days, I played almost flawless and did great, addding USD 168.50 to my poker bankroll and competing with PokerStars top players (even SuperNova !)
