hmm lost some chips on a resteal that might have been a bit too light tbh KJ<AK ($11 1R1A)

zet hem op

ugh. A4<44 to bust $11 cubed in 6th. I had ~18bb on the button and I figured I make it small to induce Kx, Qx to push $566.68


I am the shortest stack in the $22 but still 25bb. We're on the FT bubble

A hand from the DFG to cheer us up a bit

A solid winning day. Always a bit disappointed at first, especially since I've haven't been able to close a tournament in a while now. That's actually the part of my game where I think I'm my best, but I guess there's only so much you can do with a ~30bb stack.

Thanks to everybody who invested and to you guys cheering me on!

One final note: I will be organising these packages a little different in the future. I have been accepting all prereserves until now but with too much locked up I have trouble selling out if some investors do not happen to be online, especially when waitlisters snap up all action but then forget about it. My most loyal investors (beastjr, corvet and Insaint) will keep their full % of reserve, but the last couple of guys will get a smaller % prereserved. Of course everybody is welcome to buy more if they are in time. I will also stop accepting new prereserves for now.

A second measure will be a change of deadlines. From now on I will cancel reserves 1.5 hour before the start. If there's a waitlist, those guys will have half an hour after the prereserves get cancelled to send. If after all that I am still not sold out there's still another hour. I will try to put the schedule up at least 2.5hrs before the start and preferably a bit earlier.

I will send a PM about this to all reserves and put it clearly in the OP of my next package (which will probably be Sunday) Today wasn't fun with people still sending after I clearly stated in the thread that I was closed.

TY

wp! received..thanks!!
plz 1% pre-reserve for the next package...

GG sir. Idk if you know what days your playing ahead of time but if you put up your package the day b4 you play I think it would sell out no prob and be alot less stressful for you. However I know sometimes you don't know if you can play or not the next day so it depends on your situation. Either way nice game and tx for the reserve.

Well played. Received and thanks for the reserve.
