I won "big" at PKR!

Recently I've discovered an interesting tournament style at PKR. It is called "Double Thru", and the first half of the players double their money, while the rest get nothing. I started to play those kind of tournaments two days ago with $5.5 buy in, at 10 players tables.

The first two tournaments I was the first to get out :( with very unlucky bad beats... like losing on the river with 80% chances to win and so on. Yesterday I've finally make it! I won one of these tournaments and won $10.

After the first hands I was down, on the last place. I was very upset and with the first ace I've pushed all-in and won a big pot. I kept playing and get to the first place, and I even eliminate two opponents. After the first 5 players were out, all of the remaining were in the prize pool with $10 each. So almost everybody pushed all-in the next hand, and I won with an AK. I was lucky to get an A8 the very next hand and won the all-in with the last remaining player, finishing number 1!

This is the mail I've got for wining this tournament :P

LOL, "Fame won't change me"!

Winning on PKR low stakes

Yesterday I sit down at PKR tables again after a time I haven't play poker at all. I decided to play aggressive since last time I tried to wait for good hands to hit I lost. So I joined a table with $10 (a table with big blinds of $0.10) and started to tease the opponents betting or raising very often.

After winning some $8 I left that table and joined another one where players didn't know I want to be very aggressive. After a few hands I went down about half of my stack than make $4 rebuy. I kept playing and still lost some dollars till I went all-in with AK off suit against QQ. I hit a lucky straight on the turn and doubled my stack.

I played about an hour and won like $8, just like Mc Donalds employees :)

With the PKR points earned I bought some extra chip tricks, in fact I managed to learn all the PKR chip tricks. Below is one of them ;)

Slaying Anubis

First of all, Happy New Year 2009!

Yesterday I have entered the Pyramids. I got the key to the Pyramids long time ago from a Tomb Rider Leader that I killed in Alexandria. Now I reinstalled the Voyage Century after my computer crash and looking into my inventory I found that key and I thought it would be cool to go there and kill a few times the ferocious Anubis.

After some easy battles I managed to kill several times Anubis, but he didn't drop anything but his head :) and a Male Exploration Armor that is obviously worthless for me. I was expecting some jewelry, like the Courage Badge, but since now with no luck.

Not anyoane was able to defeat Anubis, as the picture below shows... After entering the second time the Pyramids I found a poor Chevalier laying dead on the floor.
