Game Time

Well I spent all of yesterday practicing. I played in at least 10 events. I played strong in all of them. I tried two $20 180 player events at the same time using two opposite styles. One kamikaze and one rockish. I made the money with the kamikaze style, lost a big pot with AA v. underpair. Don't remember what set he hit. Not a horrible day as I made the money in two of the $20 events. Made it to the second break in the $10 rebuy event without a rebuy. Lost with 10s v. AA held by a maniac, could not put him on that hand. Got it all in preflop. Alas, no miracle. I did flop quad aces yesterday as well, with us all in preflop blind v. blind.

The real news yesterday: I won a seat in the $1 million guarantee Stars event. 4850 players $215 each. Made it deep into the third hour. I really enjoyed this tournament as I played as tight as I have ever played. My stats at the end of the second hour. 8% of the flops seen, 2 for 2 in show downs, 4 hands won without showdown. I actually began to challenge myself. What hands could I fold. I folded 99 in ep twice, 10s utg once, AQs and AQo countless times. I didn't quite make the money, 1032/4850. 675 got paid. I was as happy as I could be given that I didn't cash.

I have given up trying to win a main event seat. I have dedicated around $400 so far, and have not won one yet. So my schedule is set and I will not be playing the big one yet again. Wait, I could post an auction on EBay and see if that would scrounge up a backer. Have you guys seen those auctions? Pretty funny. There are two or three up all the time, trying to get a sponsor for the main event. Nah, lets just be patient and play in it when I get a seat.

On that subject, congratulations to the Weasel for his ME seat. He won his way into the event with probably the easiest free roll ever on UB. 30 signed up and 16 showed up for a UB freeroll. He took it down. Congrats man, way to go. He also gets his pro rata share of 5% of the total winnings for the UB players. Nice job Weasel. Now take it down.

On the tournament side. The tournament is set for Saturday, June 24th at 6 PM. Email me for more information.

Until next time,

Good Luck and See You at the Felt.......................
