Dirt's Blog

The WCOOP is only a few weeks away, and I've been wanting to play in the 3 full-handed NLH events since the beginning of the summer, but I'm obviously dramatically underrolled to play in even the smallest event.

I've decided that I'm going to try and win my way into these tourneys by building a T$ BR. With the recent addition of rediculously easy $2 turbo satellites into the Sunday $100k, I thought it'd be a good idea to try an experiment and exponentially increase my T$ starting there.

I figure since winning 1 of every 5 of those tourneys is breakeven, and that I can win them much more often than that, that it is at least +EV to try them. Once I get enough T$ I want to try playing my way through the Super Tuesday and Sunday Mill satellites, starting at the $55 round 2s. About every 4.5 players gets a seat to the round 3 in these, so I think I have a good chance of making the next level. Then the ~$225 round 3s pay eabout very 5 seats so I have about the same chance. I figure since I can only spend T$ in tournaments, it's not very high risk to BR my T$ in these tourneys to try and make my way into the biggest online events of the year.

I've played these 100k satellites before and know I can win them at a profitable rate already. I haven't tried the Super Tuesday or Sunday Mill round 2s yet but I'm willing to invest my T$ and if I lose just make them back for another try. If I make a round 3 I might save my T$ and play round 2s until I win again, but that depends on how easy/hard they are. Hopefully I can get a $1050 Super Tuesday seat and buy into the first NLH event I want to play.

The $530 NLH full-handed event is on Sunday the 16th, so I have 2 tries at the Super Tuesday before then. Hopefully I can get into one of them and save my T$ for the WCOOP, but we'll see as time passes how this experiment goes. I don't think I'll be playing much ring until then so I can spend all my time trying to make T$. Wish me luck!

Hey all. I know I'm no bigshot yet, but I thought that creating a blog would help me keep rack of my sessions and improve my game. After reading a lot of Daut, Myth, Twisted, and Townsend's blogs, I can see how recording your mood or evaluating sessions might help when you come back to read it later. So this is going to be a learning tool for me as much as anything else...kind of like how teaching a subject can help you learn it as well. Maybe some day I'll even be as popular as Daut . Until then, thanks for viewing and happy reading!
