1st goal achieved

the m.c.o.p is started.
my first tournament was saturday the €200 rebuy.
this was not my tournament.
i went out by someone who thought he needed to call my big reraise allin with an A3 os on a 10 9 4 board were i was holding 89. with an A on the turn and no help on the river my tournament was over.
the good thing about this was that i was able to go home early.

sunday was the €1000 with 1 rebuy.
this was more a deepstacked tournament and that's what i like.
starting at a nice table with marc naalden and (i was glad to see him for the first time live) steve wong.
i played my game in the first 2 levels(rebuy period).
i went up and down in chips and at the end of the rebuy period i had around 3900chips(starting stack 3000).
i decided not to make a rebuy/addon.
i cruised my way to the tournament.
already at the last 36 what was i.t.m(started with 280players) i become a little bit shortstacked.
in early position i got and went allin. everybody folded except the small blind lex raszi(who had a little less chips then me). he had . the flop was giving him his trips. the turn was the lucky giving me a straight and with not pairing the board on the river i doubled up.
befor i knew we were at the last 10 players and with the clock at 03:00 the casino(who has to close at 03:00 due to governement rules) announced that we would play a final table with 10 players.
i was very happy because with this annoucement i already had achieved my first goal.

i went home and off course i could not sleep directly.
so after some food and surfing the web i tried to go to bed at 05:30.
waking up at 08:30 was not exactly my plan, but with the adrenaline in my body i knew i could not close my eyes again and decided to have some coffee and getting the newspaper.
i phoned my thai massage address and asked to come by at 11:30.
after the massage i had 3 more hours as i had to be in the casino at 16:30.

exactly 16:30 i entered the casino.
off course i had my music with me for the walk to the f.t.

i had a plan how to play the final table.
as there was not really a possibility to play real poker(the blinds were 5000/10000 and an ante of 1000) i had to move allin very quickly. my stack was 55900 so that would mean without a call i gain 50%of my stack.
this was the chipcount of all players:
Seat 1 Peter Meeren 65.600
Seat 2 Daniël Schmidt 157.700
Seat 3 Jordy Veenboer 92.900
Seat 4 Sjoerd Bos 151.800
Seat 5 J. Fuchshover 285.800
Seat 6 Marc Naalden 351.100
Seat 7 Nicky Roeg 55.900
Seat 8 N. Fraioli 169.600
Seat 9 Thierry van de Berg 135.300
Seat 10 D. Lacoste 50.400

the first hand i found so this helped my plan to move allin on first hand.
with no callers i had now 80000 in chips.
unfortunatly i then did not had a hand to stay with my plan. seeing Q3, 93,62.
also seeing that other players wanted to get over with this quickly(bb called an allin with k2 os).
i decided to relax and see what happens.
till the moment i was done to 32000 and getting the bb.
there were already 4 players left.
someone raised to 30000 and every one folded to me i found and put in my last 21000.
i said he could fold for 1000 but he decide to call showing . with the board i was out.

getting €21084 and with achieving my goal of at least 1ft at the mcop i was a happy men.
