I defeated GiantFan666 in a PL Hold Em $5 Heads-Up SNG.

We both started with 1500, and within a few hands I was down to 1200. After that, I won like 20/22 hands. Not by any thread of skill, but mainly by luck.

[Baseballer02]

Would like to add that tournaments are best played on Pokerstars rather than Party. Me and wrveres started out on Party $25NL at a private table I created, but at .10 rake for every $1 in the pot, it became pretty expensive for the both of us to not win any money from each other. Not saying that you have to play at Stars, just giving you a warning on the potential costs.

[Mookie4ever]

BB02 - you were really lucky to hit that river.

I'll open an account at Pokerstars now and track down my first round fish... I mean opponent.

[Mookie4ever]

This is week one now - right?

Mookaluh tried to steal it again but I was on a club flush and called, and my ace high held up.

Good match it was exactly 50 hands long of which I was mostly in control. Can't wait for week 2 when I flatten my next opponent.

[Mookie4ever]

ahem...forgot to mention the three rivers that he hit in the early going to take an early lead.

but I'm mostly to fault for slow playing too much. The first hand he put up I had two pair and slow played until he his his str8. Oh well. Perlick's pretty good so watch out everyone.

[Baseballer02]

BB02 - you were really lucky to hit that river.

And so was he, to catch a 4-flush on the board, no?
