$12k Winner Take All Freeroll and SNG update

I just took 1st place in the $12k winner take all freeroll tournament on Full Tilt. I got in this by finishing in the top 200 on the MTT leaderboard for January. There was 199 entrants so felt pretty good to win it. The $12k is a package deal that will let me pick from a list of $10k events that I want to play in plus traveling expenses. I'm not sure where I'll want to go or what not but it is very exciting. I had an awful week in the SNG grind and lost around $2k. So currently for the month I've played close to 700 SNGs and I'm only up around $600 bucks. Hopefully can turn it around this week though. That's about it.

Quick SNG update

After nine days of the month I'm up around $2500 through 486 games played. I've hit it pretty hard during the week and didn't play much this past weekend. I've been doing some sports betting and doing fairly well so far. Sports betting has always been a fun hobby for me as long as you manage your money correctly. March Madness is just around the corner and I can't wait for it. I probably won't put in much volume for March since the tournament will be running. I still plan to play the $240 6 max on Monday the 22nd this month at the Horseshoe in New Albany, probably the only event I'll play as I'm wanting to put in a lot of volume this month online. I'll probably update sometime after the live tournament and have a recap of it.

Fell Short on the Goal

I came up short in my quest for 10k. I ended up playing around 1373 SNGs and made a little over $7k profit off my play. I haven't gotten rakeback yet but that should total around $1k for the month. Also, got a $250 bonus for chopping the challenge with nubywood. Going to end up with a few tokens from Tilt on the MTT Leaderboard. So after all said and done I made around $8500 for the month of January. Another challenge has been issued this month and I'm up around $1100 after the first day. My goal for this month will be $10k profit again, going to be tougher with 28 days and I don't plan to hit it as hard. You have to set your goals high though....

Sit-n-go Grind Update

I got off to a real bad start to the month but have turned it around significantly the past ten days. Coming into today I have played 997 SNG's and I'm up around $6300 not counting rakeback. I was also 10th in the Full Tilt MTT leaderboard coming into today which that would be another $225 bonus if I can maintain plus an entry into a freeroll with 200 entrants with 1st place being a $12k winner take all package to any 10k event in the world. I'm on a pretty good pace to hit my $10k goal this month.

Next month is the Midwestern Poker Regionals at the Horseshoe in New Albany. This is the circuit that I won back to back events in. This year I'll only be playing a few events, so I have more time to grind online. I'm not sure which ones I'm playing yet but I'm looking at the $240 6 max as definitely being one of the events I play. I'm also planning to go to St. Louis in April for the WSOP circuit there. That's about it.

Haven't play much lately....

I haven't played that much in the past month. I had surgery about 2-3 weeks ago and have been recovering from it. I probably won't play any until the new year. I'm going to begin my Sit-n-go quest on Full Tilt starting on January 4th at the latest. My goal is to make 10k playing the $52/90 and $26/90 KO's. I'll keep this updated throughout the process. That's about it. Take it easy

Update from the WSOP-C

I ended up only playing two more events at the circuit. I played the $345 turbo on Wednesday and lasted fairly deep busting around 45th out of 180 entrants. I ran AQ into AK for around 23 BB. I also went deep in the 1k event on Friday busting 28th out of 132. I got my money in dead there with KQ vs KK all in preflop in a late position battle. I haven't played much online since my last update, except last Wednesday. I got 7th in the 33 rebuy on Full Tilt for a total of five final tables in that tourney last month. I also got 16th in the Full Tilt 50 cubed losing QQ vs JJ and TT all in preflop for a huge chiplead. I played a few sit-n-go's today and won a $48+4 90 person one for $1150. I might try putting in a session tomorrow afternoon. I have a EGD scheduled for Wednesday on my throat and doubt I'll be able to play. I'm hoping I can since FTOPS starts up at 9pm that night. I'm definately going to play on Thursday and possibly Friday. That about sums it up.

Take it easy,

WSOP Circuit Update and an Online win.

I played in Event #1 on Friday and played today, both were $345 buyins, today was 6 max. I lasted around six hours in the first event losing a big flip. I only lasted an hour today, after whiffing a big draw then busting with 99 vs Q7 on Q72 when I was down to 20BB against a guy who was literally in every pot.

I have started getting back into the online grind the past few weeks. I've come really close to winning a tournament here or there but couldn't close it out. I finally got that win last Wednesday night shipping the Stars $10 rebuy for 10.6k. It was a pretty wild tournament the last three tables. I lost AA vs JT, AA vs KQ, and KK vs AQ all three all in preflop with three tables or less remaining for big pots. I'm really not sure how I won to be honest. About 7 hours before the win, I took seventh in the $33 rebuy on tilt for $900 which was disappointing. I've had a 5th, 5th, and 7th in that tournament in the last 3 weeks. I plan on putting alot more volume during this winter. I plan on playing online tomorrow, but then go back to live the rest of the week. So I'm probably not going to be able to play online until late next week sometime. I have bowling league on Monday nights, so I can't play any MTT's on Monday's. I'm also having a scope done of my throat next Wednesday. I've had reflux for the past 6-7 weeks and hopefully going to find out what is going on in there. I'll try to have an update later this week on the live front. Take it easy
