Thanks guys I'm going to try and play. I've referred friends to this site who've played and cashed in the tourny but haven't played in an add on yet myself. I'm hoping to tonight.

Happy new year to all.

Thanks guys first time for me and it was fun. Also my first time playing for cash in a MTT. I bubbled out. Quick question, I'm in the BB blinds are 400,800. The player on the butten has been very aggressive and raising frequently. I look and see I've made it to 10th we're 5 handed obviously and I've got about $3400 in chips. The button raises to $1600. I don't think he's got much and have seen him fold. I look down and see A9 I figure I'm ahead and I re pop to $3200, why I didn't go all in I don't know. Anyway he's got K9o and it's a race. He hits a King and I'm out.

My question, should I have just folded in that spot and waited for a better oportunity?

standard shove there, expect to ahead of his opening range

There were loads on my table too, I believe it's Portuguese.

It was good fun to play in this, I even made the final table, which is not bad for a SnG donk. I don't usually play because of it being the middle of the night UK time, but seeing as I'm on holiday, I thought I'd give it a go.

Got busted out on a coin flip in like 17th place... frustrating.

Brazillian was my guess, portuguese maybe... they were at my tables too.

Was my first attempt at any tournament off ftr. Haven't played any tournaments at all for some time. Really enjoyed it.

I finished 9th, and I got my chips in pre flop with QQ against K 10s when I got knocked out. I made a few big mistakes which cost me a lot of chips at various points, but I was really chuffed with how myself.

I had forgot how long these Multi table mash ups go on though :D and it did start at 2 am GMT, I will be playing again though for sure.

Are the results for the FTR tourneys posted in any of the FTR forums?
