WSOP I am in!!!!!



Will write about it later, too excited. Was tense. Pushing with JJ gave me a heart attack. Was as high as 20th place. Doubled up late with AA. That was huge. Didn't play the rest of the tourney.

Last day I was planning on playing wsop qualifiers too!

Did you stop vibrating yet?

Do you have a summary of total buy-in paid, qualifiers won?

You qualified for qualifiers an amazing number of times.

Now you're in great job.

Are you buying bubble insurance?

I bet there'll be some live tourney play this week and into next.

thx guys. I'm probably going to create a new blog to track everything. Hopefully its not just one post! or maybe I'll be lucky enough to get Dan to provide play by play! :)

I prob spent $500-$700. That includes $350 for this one. Though $200 was paid for by a chopped qualifier from before.

No bubble insurance for me. Wearing Stars gear so I get my hotel for free.

I plan to get in a home game this week. Been a while since my last live tourney. Never played a casino tourney before though.

Update your YTD $ #s.

$25k?

actyper said...

Updated. My YTD has taken a hit due to hours spent getting into the wsop. Not really $ spent, but just time I could have been playing cash games. Need to step it up later this year to hit my cash goal of $30k. Or just win a nice tourney. Though speaking of cash games, I went through $500 this month playing on Dream Poker. I can't stand Prima/Microgaming ring games anymore, I just don't do good there. If I include the noncash $11k from the seat and hotel, then I would be close to $25k, but I'm not going to count that. Getting to the WSOP was one of my other goals. 1 down, 2 to go, I think.

I have done really well on Prima, it's probably been my best site. Play the Bad Beat tables in the evenings, there seems to be some decent traffic there with plenty of loose players. I can always find about three good $100 NL tables there. The extra rake sucks, but you will more than make up for it with the profits. Plus there's always the chance you will hit the jackpot :)
