You came in day 2 with lower than the average stack, where you scared or did you felt you could make it to the final table?

Day 2 I came in with lower than average pero di nmn nababawasan yung kagustuhan natin manalo at maniwala na kaya natin makaabot sa final table.

What was the turning point for you in the game?

Turning point. Siguro nung ma double up ako bago mabreak yung 1st table ko sa day2. Folded action big blind ako with A7off vs sb Q9s. Raise yung small blind tapos shove ako with 11bb. Nag call yung SB. Board blank Ahigh hold. Tapos yung point na feeling ko kaya ko ng maabot yung final table nung palipat ko ng table na double ulet. Kk vs Kqs raiae ako sa botton ng 26k sa 6/12k blinds tapos 3bet sya ng around 96k.then 4bet all in ako total 260k.

Its been years simula nagkapag laro ulet ng live tourney . Yung makapag laro lng ako ulet ng live tournament masaya na ako tapos nakapag final table pa mas masaya yun.

Any message to the readers?

Message ko. Keep on grinding tatama din tayo. focus lang sa goal. iwan lahat at some point maeexperience talaga ang downswing kaya kailangan wag mawala yung passion mo. Para sakin sa poker field, dapat naglalaro ka dahil sa passion, secondary lang ang money kasi once na tamaan ka ng downdswing, mapapasuko ka talaga kapag wala ka ng pera. Hindi laging pasko sa poker. Enjoy every hand and keep your passion burning.
