Hey everyone, I found Hands Free Poker around a year ago and became one of their Beta users.  I have a bit of a tendonitous issue from overuse and thus HFP appealed to me instantly.  I like to use it from time to time to break up the overuse cycle.  Its also great to free up your hands to do other things like smoke, etc

So anyways, the owner asked me to write a tournament report for a big win I had last week on Full Tilt and I was more than willing because his software has helped me a lot and also I LOVE RELIVING THIS!!!!

Here is the screenshot of the lobby from the win:

For those of you that don’t know, I play online very frequently during the week.  I usually start my tournaments around 7 or 8 and go late into the night.  I love the freedom of poker and hope to keep it going, blah blah.

So lets get into the juicy hands from this big win:

My plan going in is to see a lot of flops early especially in position, try to hit a big hand and get a stack. Postflop I’m not going to overcommit.

I’m fortunate to be able to triple up so early. I can afford to wait a good while for good spots.

Sitting with Doom the whole tournament he’s been tight. But this is a nice spot to take a chance. I think I have some fold equity, but TT
is good enough to call and I’m happy to be flipping. and all the sudden I have a nice stack again

I haven’t been very active since getting a stack, so I decided to get tricky and limp with the aces. I was fortunate to run into AK

bye bye villian, him and I had 300+ hands together here. Huge shove here obviously. The more I think about it the more I think it’s a mistake, but it paid off big.
Puts me in great great shape.
