Play a nice freeroll on PokerStars today

Thanks to the Platinum membership that CardsChat gave me, yesterday and today I played my first two freerolls on PokerStars
Yesterday I finished in 56th place, I actually played a bit in a hurry because I had to go to a close friend's birthday party and I didn't play comfortably.
Today was different, I finished in 38th place.
It was not bad at all, given that in key moments of the MTT I played several strong hands that fell into the hands of my opponents.
When it was half of the 1st hour and I was in position 10, I played an AllIn hand, I with and the villain with and his set came out with Jin the showdown
I put myself back in the middle of the leaderboard and again I play a hand all in, me with and the villain with , and the came in the showdown.
I was in last place with 356 Chips, with blinds at 75/150
After 3 or 4 good hands, I return to settle in position 23 on 57 remaining participants.
I get an s hand of diamonds in MP, I miniraise, the SB calls and the BB goes allin. BB had half as many chips as me. I actually considered that his rank couldn't be too high and I went there too. SB showed but didn't pay, if he did he lost.
On the flop comes but the villain shows and although I got the on the river he still lost.
Again to fight with 5 BB, I was able to keep up, my kunkgreen friend who was at the table did the same.
He was able to win an allin with and settled in a bit better.
We were so close to the cash that he was ranked 27th.
In the final hand I have in BB, they all fold, and SB who was always raising his bet against me in that situation, goes there, logical pressure he had around 23 BB
I call with my cards and villain shows spades.
The flop hits but the cards were all diamonds, and I had the Ace of Diamonds, which meant that on the flop, I had odds/outs of 9 diamonds plus KKK and AAA, 15 odds/outs for the miracle on river or turn, but it didn't happen.
The Villain won and finished in 38th place.
Happy to have played a very good MTT, for being the 2nd let's say not bad.
I believe that the hands I play strong, I don't play poorly. Maybe the hand of against and the hand of against luck did not help me too much.
But hey, poker is like that. Luck also has to help a little.
There will be many more tournaments to play God willing, so surely we will get some better results.
Just thanks to all the colleagues on the site who play very well and politely as it should be.
Greetings to all!!! Carlos

As I play few tournaments a day, the variance affects more, I haven't achieved very expressive results in Cardschat freerolls, in fact almost none, at least this month.
But I know this is poker, and these things happen, but I don't give up and I know that at some point or another the good results will appear.
Hope to see you more often at Carlos tables, and I wish you all the best in the CC freerolls.

Exactly Gritz...
Sometimes when I see myself charging myself a lot for results, I stop and think... especially weekdays when I only play a few freerolls...
How many games am I playing to always want to have expressive results?!
Even Simon Mattsson (C Darwin2) who is every day in the finals of the best tournaments to get there plays double the triple or 50x more.

With little game volume this variance kills anyone!

Welcome to the Platinum club! I look forward to playing against you soon. Poker is a funny old game sometimes. I have played a total of 20 freerolls this month, cashed in 4 with one final table. and made $14.45, but $11.50 of that came from just one tournament.

Keep playing and the cash and deep run will come

That's exactly what Kunkgreen, we end up charging ourselves a lot, for staying a while without a significant result, but we know that this is part of poker, we just don't want to accept it, even great professionals sometimes go without good results for a while, what they call downswing.
I even created a recent post, talking about how much Downswing affects you.

Summary of today's CC frerolls to me! hahaha
There are days that are days!!! There's no way...

CC platinum games can sure be tough, too many times I seem to go out shortly before the bubble.
Maybe see you at a final table one day

Well played! GL in the next games!

Sometimes that's how poker is.

Birthday party is better than freeroll!
