I am just getting into poker. A good site where you can play for free is pureplay.com

I am also up at nights watching "Poker After Dark" on NBC.

He was down to I think 3 mil, after he got called bluff raising with 36s on the river with 6 high. He had incredible luck flopping sets when he was totally dominated pre-flop. Winning the main event required incredible runs of luck.

Winning any tournament with a field that big requires ton of luck imo, when blinds get to a certain amount you start to have a lot of coin flip situations.

You should play on pokerstars you can play free there too. Kind of hard to learn since they go all in with any 2 cards. I like ps and fulltilt best since they have the most players.
