FTOPS

[szury]

Did anybody play on the FTOPS?

I was pretty luck but at the end I didn't win anything.
I joined a SnG with $4 and won a $26 Token. With that $26 token I entered a tournament and out of 35 players I got on the second place (top2 got entrance to the FTOPS, $200 worth).

The FTOPS started at 4AM. There were 1500 registered players. The first got $44 000 B)
There were 700 players left and I was 200th. Than it happended: BAD BEATS. I lost all of my chips with: AA, KK and Ak
This was the biggest bad beat of my life.

thats always sad to hear.

I've lost 2 times now in pokerstars sunday millions just before money with QQ. TWICE in a row =/
first it was my qq againsta jj, flop j4k that was it.
second was QQ against kk well, kk pair won.

well didn't see the kk coming so it was sort of my fault.
but life goes on and tournaments come and go!

keep it up!

that AA KK and AK was kinda in a row for me too. In two minutes I lost everything.

Come on guys,

keep your heads up, don't dwell on your bad beats , there will be plenty more of those to come.
The point is that you got yourselves in a position where you had a chance of a big payout, give yourselves a pat on the back for that.
If you keep getting yourselves into these positions it is only a matter of time, not luck.
I read a quote from one of the major pro players who said.
" I can't remember the hands that got me such a huge bankroll, but I remember the one that took it away." my point being, the times when you have had your own fair share of good luck, doesn't register in your mind as much as your bad beats do.

Yeah I played in 3 of the events at FTOPS V.

Only event I got payed in was the $550 Omaha PL finishing 43rd winning about $1000, considering Omaha is'nt even my main game I was happy with that. Plus I literally qualified from one of the very last $110 feeders into in roughy 30mins before the game started..

Just noticed the FTOPS VI starts soon, might try my luck again and see if I can do any better this time around..
