i'm proud to announce that blind bet poker will have player who will represent the best online forum in australia - Melbourne - Crown Casino in Aussie Millions main event... yeah, people that's me

still can't believe that.. won a depositors freeroll with 550+ ppl and turbo levels .. it was my night, what to say.. every str8 draw i got, KK won 3 times against Ace - lower.. one lucky win in final table (but i had bigger stack and was chip leading almost whole game)! last hand 1010 vs 99, the rest is history..

if i get my visa (the thing you need in passport to get into country for us from serbia) i'll give my best to represent this forum there! if there wasn't this forum i would never be there.. i'll try to show all poker tricks which i learnt here with great poker players

I DID IT MATES! wish me GOOD LUCK

p.s hmmm.. what to say when they ask me there why i used cocaine82 as my username ? LOL

thank you very much mates.. i'm still shocked... talked to support on poker.com and they said that i will recieve a call tomorrow to arrange all things.

damn... how i hated that site before coz of all that bad beats and unbeliveably bad shuffling engine.. but in that tourney - all was perfect still don't know what that package means, but it will be more clear tomorrow..

i saw on site i recieve 8 days in Crown Towers hotel (that hotel looks like spaceship!, private party with VIPs and meeting the host Tina Wallmann (Tina Wallmann Bio - Pictures of the Poker Queen) hmmmm, tickets for australian open or cricket game Australia against England, showing melbourne, customised poker gear from poker.com, warmup freeroll in Crown Towers, and "who knows what else you will get" - said there

i'm still excited, never played live poker in my life.. but i'll try to give my best.. and i will not be scared of big names! i'm going there as tourist, so i'll think about wasted buyin from the start, and i'll try to play without pressure of cameras and that ..

ty for your support, i'll inform you what is happening.. i will send a lot of pictures from melbourne, and if i win something there we'll all make good party

LOl.. is this a dream?

[Laurie]

I'll look for you at the final table. WTG Good Luck.

You know, Dovla, I just realized something. So often, the people who get opportunities like this are jerks (think BigPimpinNDA.)

But I think it's great that you have this opportunity, because you are NOT a jerk. It's nice to see this happen to someone who deserves it, and I hope you come home with good memories, good stories to tell, and a pile of money.

[Southern Yankee]

Awesome. I am so proud for you. I hope you have a wonderful trip. Up to now the biggest winner I have played with was someone who got on the Mansion PokerDome show.

I hope you have incredible luck at the table there and bring home a large pot of money. If not well, Who Cares....YOU ARE ALREADY A BIG WINNER.

Can't wait to see the pictures.
