Just curious and wanted to know if anyone ever won or knew someone who won a big tourney online for example the weekly Pokerstars 250K tourney?

I won second place in a pokerstars tourney 10 months ago and it paid $12500.


ANd I have won quite a few of the intertops tournament in the past that pay around $1500-3000 for first/second place

It was a good time to get some good card cooperation, that is for sure. The bizarre thing is that I know I am much better know as that was last August but I cannot seem to do anyting close to that in the last 6 months.

Big tournaments with over a thousand players require a stretch of good cards especially towards the end with around 100 players left. You can be the best player but if you don't catch a couple of good hands towards the end, even the best will bust out. If you trust in your abilities and get better every day, you're bound to hit one of the big ones.

I havent played at Pokerstars in a while. The weekly Sunday tourney has 3000 players now? Wow, it used to be only about a 1000.

IMO pokerstars software is WAY better then Party's ....

 

[RobFunk]

Well, we are talking about big tournaments.


I'll take lesser software and a smaller field over the avatar deal with 3500 people

 

[Dante]

smaller fields are better... I 100% agree Robert

 

[oldirtyku]

Very strange, I feel the complete opposite.

 

[Fishhead]

..........and I keep telling ya'all to try DoylesRoom.

Doyles software blows away the competition in my humble opinion.

I think it is SUPER!
