Success and my Final Stand...
Updates…
Stayed home from work yesterday. While I would love to say it was an excuse to stay home and play poker all day, the reality was I just felt lousy. However, that’s not to say I didn’t have some successes yesterday.
Spent a good portion of my morning following up on work related items. While doing that I started a $20 MTT. Took that down with a 1st place finish. Afterwards, took a break and relaxed. Followed that up with another $20 MTT and finished 8th.
So, two final tables with two tournaments. Was a very productive day.
These 180 person max mtt’s are certainly my bread and butter these past few months. I’ve considered taking on a few higher buy in type tournaments, but an tentative at the moment. Before I make any changes, I want to get this weekend out of the way. I’ve determined that if I don’t have my WSOP seat secured by Sunday, I’m moving forward with alternative plans for time away. Meaning, if I don’t win my seat Sunday, I’m taking a non poker related vacation. The time away will do me well I’m sure.
Note to PokerStars: Really enjoy the $20 180 person MTT’s. However, same format with a higher buyin would be great. I realize you have a $50 90 person max mtt, however, the payouts are similar to the $20 with less spots paid. Perhaps a $75 180 person max? Or a $100 300 person max tourney? Food for thought.
This Weekend…
Weekend plans will include a little R&R with a very heavy barrage toward the WSOP seat that continues to elude me. I’ve played several satellites to Sunday’s 150 seat tournament on stars but have had no success. The 1 table sng’s have been my bane thus far. Finishing 3rd on the last 3 attempts. At this stage, with yesterday’s success, I plan to buy directly into the tournament and stop stressing about the smaller satellites. This will allow me to focus on other productive tournaments.
A special thanks to Gary Carson for stopping by and leaving a comment on “The Morning After…” post.
Would also like to mention a few other regulars:
Joe from The Hold Em Authority
Frank and Gang over at Life’s a Bluff. Great strip this week by the way
BSN from Big Slick Nuts!
Bloddy P from Bloody P Plays Poker
Really appreciate the support all!
That’s all for now folks. I have to play catch-up here in the real world. I plan to update quite a bit over the weekend as I document my final stand toward the WSOP.
Good luck,
Adam
