Day 242 ... British Poker Open Qualifier ...

I've just deposited $50 at PokerHeaven as they have a nice $100 bonus on any deposit and also have loose games & decent graphics. I'd promised myself if I could clear $20 profit while playing and working this afternoon I would enter the $20 re-buy tournie to win a $7000 ticket to play in the British Poker Open. I entered up and was playing really well, very tight and selective and in the early stage I was 2nd or in top 10 for first 50mins, unfortunately I got carried away with one hand and dropped 2000 from a healthy 5500 stack just before the end of the re-buy period. This is where I screwed up majorly ... I'd noticed that there weren't many re-buy maniacs so figured that I wouldn't buy the add-on at the end of the first hour - big mistake as everyone else went for it instantly leaving me short. I stuggled on for a while but ended up finishing 23rd ... shame really as the entry fees came no-where near covering the $7000 prize and having got through to the last 30/70 players it would have made sense to have a shot at 1st and made the add-on.

Ended up bailing from the titan series once I knew it could go ahead without me as I was still in the running over at PokerHeaven so got refund on tournie and played a quick cash game while getting the results sorted.

I have got a great new sign-up / deposit bonus for Titan which is an exclusive for 4kingpoker members & visitors - New players deposit at Titan poker using BONUS CODE: 4kingpoker and get entered FREE for our 25 seat free $250 tournament. That's a free 25/1 shot at 1st place.
