October 8, 2014 -- Intertops Poker (http://poker.intertops.eu) and Juicy Stakes Poker (http://www.juicystakes.eu) are sending two online satellite tournament winner to St Maarten to compete in the Caribbean Poker Tour main event. The two players will share their experience in a new personal poker blog, Living the Dream (http://live-dream-poker.blogspot.com).
Chris P aka "GrandmaMary" won his $2700 prize packages that includes all-inclusive luxury resort accommodation a few weeks ago. Simon “Sim79” from Quebec, Canada won the final Caribbean Poker Tour satellite tournament hosted by the two popular poker rooms.
Simon confessed, in his first blog entry today, that he's not sure how he even won the online tournament.
“I don't think I played my best poker. It started up kinda bad, I lost some good pots that forced me to re-buy (which I don't usually do, but it was definitely worth it that time with such a prize to win). The re-buy helped me double-up and enter the Final Table mid-stacker which is good for such a bad start.”
“I won two draws that paid me a lot at the end that put me right back to 3rd and then 2nd with only 3 players left. I might have overpaid some draws when I was low stacker there was no second prize -- I had to try to hit something. It was do or die.”
“I always say that a bad player can win with luck but that a good player can't win without luck. There’s always a luck factor.”
“A lot of players play more aggressively when they can still re-buy. But this tournament was so fast there wasn't much time to figure my opponents’ playing habits. ”
Both poker rooms, popular with player all over the world, are offering reload bonuses up to $500 until this weekend. Use bonus code OCT14 at either poker room until Sunday to claim your 100% bonus.
If you fancy a trip to the West Indies you can still enter Caribbean Poker Tour Main Event! The buy in is $1000 + $100 and the tournament will be played November 1-2, right before the WPT Caribbean Tournament which will also be in St Maarten.
