Poker is getting bigger and bigger over here, and especcially Texas Hold'm!
As I previously posted, I was playing more and more poker online, but now there are in Australia some Poker leagues going on.
I joined the Australian Poker League and played a couple of tournaments in the nearest club.
Firstly it is so much better playing with seeing peoples faces... secondly these poker leagues are free to join and like the Australian poker league u start with $ 1000 bucks in chips, and start at a table and try to win everyone's chips..
The evening mostly has around 60 to 100 ppl.. and my first evenings I mostly came around half way.
I met a guy (Chris) on one of those nights, who I also play agains with basketball, and he told me about this other league the "National Poker League" who runs more tournaments per evening.
So we gave that one a go, as the "Australian poker league" was on a break anyway..
On our first evening I already became second in the 3rd game.. YAY.. the next week I didnt do that good, 20st just in the points.. but last week.. YAY... #1!
I won the tournament #2.. and actually won a good price.. as before becomming #2 only gave me points for the league. (lost with AK against K/9s, only the 9 came out.. grrr).
So here I was sitting again heads up against only one opponent (the current #1 actually), whom I could gently squeeze out of his chips by winning the blinds.. and then the famous words "ALL INN".. came from his side but the bet was small enough for me to "call" and take the risk. I didnt had a great hand.. but with heads up anything can happen.. I had Q 4 and the flop gave me 2 extra 4's, he got 2 pairs at the end but that isnt strong enough to beat my mirakel three of a kind :)
Every winner of a tournament gets this grand pokerset worth $140,- ! So here is mine.. lol

Now cuz my points raked up, I actually made it already in the top 5 of the location I went to.. and If I hold on a bit, and win some more I maybe can get a invite to the finals.. with big money prizes and the #1 gets 15k in cash or a paid trip to an 10.000.000 $ tournament to Vegas or where-ever.
Now ok ok ok.. this all is a bit far dreaming but hey.. this monday you will c me sitting again to crank up my score.. as u never know..!
Here are my stats
Funny how a couple of months practise online on pokerchamps etc already gave me two last table finishes with one win in real tournaments! :)
Ok.ok.. there is a bit more to it, but I will let u know later..
