Freeroll to caribbean
Hello!
I'm Jasper, a 26 year old recreational player from The Netherlands! I'v been playing poker since i'm 18. I have been reading the 2+2 forums for years now but never registerd or posted myself. Mainly because i wasn't playing large volumes and never had mentionable results.
Since a year i also play small live tournaments in the local bars in my city (Groningen). My winrate on live games is a lot higher and i feel more and more comfortable playing them.
Just like most recs i always had the dream to participate in a big live tournament. I played a lot of qualifyers on pokerstars but never won. A few months ago i switched back to Partypoker, the site where i once started. I like it because you recieve a lot of tickets for freerolls and sattelites.
The past few months i felt down, had no money to play poker since i am still a student. The last time i went on vacation is like 6 years ago. The only games i could play on partypoker were the freerolls. Sunday i woke up got a $1 ticket for the Caribbean Poker Party. I joined the game and qualified for the $5,50 next step. I don't want to make this topic too long but i ended up winning the 5,50, 27,50, 109 and eventually after a sick bubble the 1050. After 13 hours and 5 sattelites i won the $10,000 package to the Dominican Republic!
In this topic i hope to recieve some tips , discuss some live hands (i'm planning to play a few small local tournaments for practice) and maybe meet some people who are also attending to go to the Caribbean.
A few questions:
- The hotel is all inclusive. Are there any costs i have to calculate in before i go? Anyone has experience with the CPP?
- Does anyone recommend articles/videos/lessons for this situation? As in going to a tournament like this as a recreational player.
Goals:
- Prepare as good as possible and manage my expectations
- Enjoy the vacation and experience
- Get past the bubble, since 10k is alot of money for me.
Sorry for my bad grammer. I hope some of you guys can enlight me a little.
