19 year old welsh student studying computer games development, been playing poker since i was 7 on a SNES game, and stuck with it since, playing online for real money (with a fake DOB) since i was 16.
Biggest disappointment: NOV 08. $30 + $3 rebuy super turbo to pokerstars PCA bahamas. prize package worth $14,500 guaranteed for first. 110 entrants, and rebuys available for 90 minutes. 3 minute blind levels, so a crazy game indeed. rebought 6 times (only rebought when i was bad beat. if i lost legit, i would have not rebought.) and added on (addon was for 10 times the starting stack / rebuy amount). total spent was $243. after addon period, prize pool is about $14,200. so first palce gets the package, second place gets nothing.
Made it to 3-way. we were all even stacked, with me slightly ahead for about 15 minutes. (we all had roughly 600,000.) then i flop 2 pair and take someone out. headsup lasts 2 hands.
me: Q5
villain: AA
preflop: villain limps, i check.
flop: QT5
i bet. villain makes big raise. i push. villain calls.
turn: QT5 2
river: QT52 2
villain wins that hand. he now has about 1.2 million, and i have about 600k.
me: AA
villain: KK
preflop: i raise, villain insta-shoves. I insta-call.
Turn: K
