Won (chopped) the $10 rebuy tourni!!! Didn't even have to rebuy once, did take the add on though.

Hello helmuthman20,

Congratulations on your finish in tournament #6036994!
You agreed to a deal at the final table to adjust the payouts as follows:

Official New
Player Payout Payout
========= ======== ======
ltnsarge #1 $ 5660.00 $ 4528.00
helmuthman20 #2 $ 3396.00 $ 4528.00

One big catch early on with 1010 vs a maniac who had AA, but other then that I feel like i played really solid poker!

Down to two, i had they guy outchiped 5:1 (2.8 million to 560,000 about) then moved him all in with AQ he calls with J5 and catches a 5 on the turn. After a little bit of tilt, we are about even in chips, and i agree to a chop.

Playing for the TLB points, we decide to just go all in every hand. I end up getting 2nd with ace king vs 2 5, but since we already chopped i didn't really care about the TLB points.

Final payday = $4528

Best finish of my life! One of my life goals. WHOHOo

So...given proof of my return, anyone wanna back me for the $10 rebuy 3-4 times a week. I have played probably 10 of these, and placed in more then 6 of them.

Reason i am asking is i have all my money tied up in stocks and really want to get back to playing these. If you have a good strategy and don't get outdrawn it is almost a guranteed make the money not to mention the huge payout for 1st.

If you need furthur proof, just check me out on pokerstars right now. I got this $33 from a friend who was willing to stake me, and im currently playing the $10 rebuy. I have 50,000 in chips ... 65th out of 222. $13,000 for first place, 135 pay.

I have a busy schedule tommoro morning so I am having my friend take over for the rest of the tournament, don't really know what to expect, but i know if it was me playing with this stack the rest of the way, i am 90% sure i would make the money and have a good chance at the final table. Though not to worry, if anyone decided to stake me, i would commit the whole night to the tournament

EDIT: sorry to bring up an old thread, just thought this would be the best place to post this request.
