I noted every tournaments I would like to play. If stakers want to buy me into more, i'm certainly open! And if I aim too high, and get no action, then i'll tone down the schedule a bit, but I think this is fine.
Hello again LP,
I got there friday night, spent the night in the casino's hotel. To my surprise, they gave me a bed with 2x double bed, which was nice! I don't remember the last time I've slept in an hotel, so the luxurious huge shower and bath were really nice, so I had to take my first bath in about 10 or so years lol.
The next morning, I went for an early swim in the pool, where i hurt myself pretty fucking badly. (i didnt follow player999's tip of "Don't do anything stupid")
Anyways, after fixing my face and bloodied fingers, I went to the registration for the MTT. Every table had a "celebrity" assigned to it. Ours was Michel Therrien.(ex-hockey coach for the Pens and the Canadiens) Levels were going pretty fast. We started with 200bb, and blinds would double every 30 minutes until lvl 4, where it got to something like 300/600/25, then 400/800/75.
I was winning my fair share of pots in the early game, but right before the dinner break, I played a hand like this:
500/100 blinds
I have 99
seat 1/2/3 fold, Michel Therrien limps, I raise 3x (I thought it was folded to me because he didnt play very many hands)
rest of the table folds, Therrien calls. I cover him, and theres a bounty on his head. 90~/150 players left.
Flop comes: QT8r
He checks, I bet 4k, he tell's me "good luck", and shoves 6.5k total. (I immediately thought... fuck i shouldnt have bet more than 3k)
I folded there, because i was 100% drawing, thinking i had 4 outs and it probably wasnt worth it even considering the added value of 500$ if i won the pot.
He got super surprised that I folded, and showed QT for top 2 pairs.
Well we then went to the dinner break, I was super short stack at this point, and just played the short stack for the rest of the tournament really.
My lowest point was having 2200 on my BB, at 800/1600/300 (numbers sound wrong but it was close enough to that) and won 32o vs AJo, with about 70 ppl left, top 20 paid.
I hung on there until I openshoved bvb 5bb with q4o, got called by kqo, and lost 13th, for 693$
O well, I had a good time on there, but the blinds went up so fast so quick. After 3 hours there was half the field gone.
Hello, saturday is going to be the "celebrity takedown" in a casino in quebec.
I obv won a satty for it. 310$ buyin (was 550 but it includes a meal + night at hotelroom)with 150 players. Bounty of 500$ on the 10 or so celebs that are going to be there. I'm kinda super excited, as this is my biggest buyin mtt lifetime (if you exclude the 428 hyper-turbo sngs lawl), and I have a very low quantity of live play experiences.
I wanted to get some tips maybe... theres stuff I won't think about that might make a difference.
The mtt is going to start at 10AM, which is super early for me. I still have a week to get used to waking up early, but I am considering a small dose of caffeine intake. (my caffeine resistance is super low since i never use that stuff really, but im scared to hit a "low" after a while)
I would think I should dress up like a normal person, aka no poker gears, to hide my superior-than-these-noobs-experience, altho I love my lp/stars shirts. ^^
I prob won't use sunglasses, but I have never played in a casino so I don't know how needed they are or not.

Hello, I would like to get a stake for the 215$ 6-max of sunday september 4th, and for the 109 on september 10th. My roll being ~250 atm, I obv can't affort them. Let me know if you're interested in buying a %, or better offer!
While i was watching the very deceiving Dota2 stream I decided to touch my poker account for the first time in a decently long time, single tabling a turbo mtt while watching the stream inbetween 2 server crashes, and binked it no sweat really.
(two pair, Queens and Tens)
