Won a stake into the PokerStars Sunday Mill!

I'm sure most of you know, but the Sunday Million is the biggest consistent touney in online poker! It's a $215 buy in and has a million dollars guaranteed!

Well I just won this tourney that had an added prize that the winner gets to be staked in the Sunday Mill!





The Sunday Mill is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over my average buy-in and Im super nervous, but it's gonna be so much fun playing with the big boys! Cant wait! I'll keep you guys posted of when I play and how I do!

Cheers!

muratore

very nice Nate!  

try to treat it as a normal game and dont get to excited by all the extra money in it compared to what you are used to see in tournies..

of course just stay disciplined and take your time in your decision making and i am sure you will cruise in to the money with a healthy stack and just take it from there

i believe in our Nate

I'm looking forward to railbirding for you nate.  Good luck and just play your game.  Nothing to be nervous about....well maybe just the huge prize pool, but besides that, nothing at all...well maybe the amount of pro's that might be playing....but besides that it is just a normal game.

All kidding aside, just stick to your game plan and get your money in with the best of it.  That's all you can ask for.

good luck Nate. i have played in the mill about 5 times. i won my seat by satalite too. the best i ever done was 157 for $1700. for the first hour i usely play tight because two many people are playing loose. you start with $10,000 in chips. so alot of players chase alot at first and end up loosing most of there chips. just play good starting hands at first. and play your position don't limp in early with small pairs or suited connectors it well end up costing alot to see the flop. after the first hour or so you can loosen up some because people have you tagged as tight and you can steal more blnds in late position.

Know-nuffin

Been watching Nate, you look a bit card dead.

They'll come. Hang in there.  
NateTrib

Bad luck Nate, was one more diamond too much to ask for.  

'Badabang' seemed to have targeted you in a few hands.  
harry_lime

ul nate, did the game feel different for you with it being such a high buy-in and did you think you played your normal game ?


could be nice to start a new thraed about the experience and how it affected your play (if at all).
elbandido32

too bad Nate but at least u got there and that is exciting. I'm playing in the 20k on Poker.com this Sunday and I hope to win some money. Not as good as the Mil but still a nice chunk of change!
Laagen13

  sad to hear it didnt went so good...but atleast you won the first tourney to get there! and that is allways something...
Arsenal28

Tough luck Nate.  Just goes to show that sometimes the deck just doesn't go your way.  I'm sure you'll make your way back to the big tourney again in the future.

I think I tightened up my calling ranges because of the huge decrease in donks at this level. I layed down top pair with a good kicker just because I really thought the guy hit a straight. Probably would have called in a $11 mtt though.

I read a poker article not too long ago that I think was very true, the article focused on when your playing you cant think about how much it cost you, you just have to play your game and not worry about how much it cost you. Thinking like dang I could have bought an ipod with this buy in is very bad, because it will definitely effect your play.
