the high orbit battle planets {100} sngs in a week is usually quite reachable if u play pretty solid poker all week.

i think u should be careful about your buyins tho. you lost about 40% of your roll in that mtt. if u buy in to smaller mtts u can still make a nice profit if u go deep in tourny.

best of luck and hopefully this time next year u will be in vegas
Worth pointing out that I ordered the session according to finish, made it look neater In reality the results were mixed throughout.

So far Im on 279 points having played 14 SnG. I think I will fit in another 6 this week certainly but 100 is a lot for the time I have .... Last week the winner of the low orbit table made 566 pointe and 423 got you into the top 100, so there is a possibility for sure

Take a look at rule 2 - as you can see I broke this already but have no intention of a repeat. You're bang on the money - it's all good if I cash but when I don't my bankroll takes a BIG hit Lesson learnt I hope

Very interesting challenge, and I suppose a good way to try and get regular results.

Good that you're focusing on your strong games! We don't want to see you anymore in the PK league

Think we have to give you a hard time to stop you doing that again

To risk 50% of your bankroll in one game What were you thinking? Dont you want to succeed?

Perfect question .... Of course I know the answer, but also know it was a badly timed quest for a bankroll boost !

It was hard work to replace those $22 .... I should have a $70 bankroll already

No more attempts at short cuts

I still have a small bankroll of money for "playtime" on PK so you haven't seen the last of me yet

for you Myrie. I hope that you get there.

Don't try short cuts - you may find that you get a one off success but then blow it all with a 2nd attempt.

I find that it is easy to lose when I am not in the right frame of mind so my advice is:

Do not play when you are :

tired
irritable
hungry
distracted by others
horny

i think that its definately possible if you can keep at iti started a similar challenge but got bored after a month of grinding.
still managed to get $20 up to $200 in that time .


with the amount of experiance you would gain playing all year i would think you would have a decent chance in the wsop.
a guy me and teaulc play in the apat games in brighton cashed ok in the wsop razz last year,he ended up losing a lot of his stack to the eventual winner katya thater.
he has pretty much admitted that he wasn't the best razz player and hadn't played much really ,he just kept hitting good cards

by specialising a little you might have a good chance of a decent cash in one of the lesser played games
i was thinking of playing the hilo this year with my package, but as other plers are there for the nlh i went for that.

Question Re: Wsop 2009 Variant Challenge

Quite a bit to update so I will try and break it down.

Wed 4.6 Evening Session

DateGameTournamentIDBuy-InEntrantsFinishCash OutBalance
Opening Balance$55,60
4.6.200820HORSE (Turbo)90855778$1,751615$0,00$53,85

4.6.200830HORSE (Turbo)90872263$1,75161$9,60$59,15


A profitable session but did not feel I was playing my A game. Struggling to find a strategy in the NL Omaha Hi-Lo that works for me. It is an all in fest and you are caught between playing the same game, or waiting .... only to find the blinds are now high, and one maniac has 4 x your stack and putting you all in anyway

Thursday 5.6

DateGameTournamentIDBuy-InEntrantsFinishCash OutBalance
Balance$59,15
5.6.200831NL Omaha Hi-Lo (Turbo)90919628$1,75185$0,00$57,40
5.6.200832HORSE (Turbo)90917525$1,751614$0,00$55,65

5.6.200836NL Omaha Hi-Lo (Turbo)90922955$1,751812$0,00$48,65


A brief and very poor session. Tried loosening up my starting hand requirements in all games only to find myself in too many marginal situations calling people down to find myself outdrawn .....

Fri 6.6 - Night time (until about 2am).

Decided I was going to think a bit more about my strategy in the NL Omaha Hi-Lo. These tables fill up quickest so it is important I can consistently crack these if I want to play high volumes of games.

Balance$48,65
6.6.200837NL Omaha Hi-Lo (Turbo)91089140$1,751818$0,00$46,90
