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!

My online roll after paying back the loan is only about $133, so this experiment won't realy kill me and I feel it's worth a try. I've turned the $100 loan into $233 in about 2 months at $10NL so I guess that's not bad, but I've moved down to $5NL since I plan on paying the guy back ASAP.

Doesn't seem like a good idea (horrible bankroll management).
Even if you do win a seat, you'd be better off playing smaller tournies and/or selling your T$.

gl anyway

Well I figure since I'll be wasting T$ it's not as bad as bankrolling actual cash, since I can only use them in tourneys anyway.

But yes I do know that it is horrible BR management on my part, but there are a lot of reasons for why I am taking this shot other than just trying to make a big score for myself.
