sup i play MTTs

Sup Nits:

Tomorrow I'll be playing the Sunday Million for the first time. As some of you guys know, I've had moderate success in MTTs recently... but this is my first foray into the sicko-size field of the SM.

I know the basics (10k chips, starts 25/50, up every 15)... but any general things I should know about if/how this plays differently than other MTTs? How does the skill level compare to others?

Who else is playing? I'll post updates here as I go along tomorrow.

GL.

edit:

Also, I'll be winning the LP Sunday tournament simultaneously.

i love LP, and there isn't much i'd change if i could... but i think maybe increasing the number of hands shown on the right

------->

to 10/15 would be beneficial, and wouldn't really change the look of the site. it seems to me that once the hands go off the "top 5," not many people view/comment on them. and when someone posts a bunch of hands at once, a lot of hands might go unseen.

i realize that if its a really important hand, everyone posts in the forums..which is fine. just a minor improvement that might be implemented, but i didn't want to waste a thread on it. hopefully one of the mods/admins sees this and takes it under consideration

my goal in the next 2 months is to make enough off this stake to start rolling well again in MTT world... and then to make a decent score or two there, so i can play most/all of the WCOOP NLH events.

just wanted to get that on record so i see it, and remind myself, and you guys can remind me when i get off track at all.

Guys:

Most of you may have seen my blog post from yesterday about being staked. If not, check it out.

Basically, I'm looking for a staker so I can play $11 or $22 180-man SNGs. It would be a deal where I return 35% of all profits (+ buyin) to the staker. It'd also involve a buyout clause where I would ship an extra $100 (plus the owed profits) to the staker if I got to a point where I felt like I was rolled enough to go on my own.

I've got a couple of offers on the table now, but I just wanted to make sure everyone's seen this who might be considering a stake. I'm going to go ahead with something at some point tonight, so post here or PM me if you're interested and we haven't talked.

Gentlemen:

I have recently become basically life-busto due to my Vegas trip, and mainly due to the cash games that I lost a lot of money in out there. I'm clearly not cut out for the cash game life, and I have a lot of learning to do... which brings me to the point of this blog entry.

I'm looking for a MTT-only stake. I would be interested in playing $10 and $20 180-mans on Stars.

Upon returning from Vegas, I had a small amount left in my Stars account... the day I got back, I final tabled a $20/180 and a $30 MTT with 356 runners. Obviously since then, I've busted on Stars, or I wouldn't be posting here.

My MTT results can be found on www.thepokerdb.com (my name on Stars is nutshot2).

My biggest career cash is $5,355 for a 3rd place finish in a $55 freezeout with 1,428 runners. I also cashed $5,328 for a first place finish in a $109 freezeout with 333 runners. Most importantly (clearly), I received LP's Tournament of The Week Performance one of those weeks.

This would be a staking deal with makeup.

Also, PoorUser says he will vouch that I will stick to the deal, as repayment for everything I taught him in a live 50NL game freshman year at college.

PM me if you're interested.

Thanks in advance, all.

edit: Edited to say I'd only be looking to play $10/$20 180-man tourneys on Stars.

SOOOOO we were supposed to leave at 655am for Vegas. I got all my stuff packed up, put my money and wallet in my pocket, put on my hat, and unplugged my phone to leave for my friend's house... and I realized I had 6 missed calls and 4 IMs...

'OUR FLIGHT IS CANCELLED'

Jet Blue, you can suck my dick. I don't care about the weather patterns being dangerous. Whatever, that was fine. Until I checked the outgoing flights from JFK and saw that EVERY OTHER JET BLUE FLIGHT LEFT THE AIRPORT, INCLUDING ONE TO BURBANK, CALIFORNIA. Get out of here. Next available flight: 655am FRIDAY MORNING.

Anyway, it might not be the worst thing in the world. Everyone in our group took off Tuesday from work anyway, and Wednesday is the 4th of July, so I think we're just going to extend it a day.

More to come when I actually get there!

GL!

Flight leaves in 3 hours from NYC. Staying at the Mirage with 9 of my friends til Tuesday. I plan on playing 1/2 or 2/5 NL most of the time (and maybe playing a daily tournament or two at Caesars?)

If there's interest, I'll post a mini trip report from my sidekick here each night.

Good luck!
