My Poker Challenge
March 20, 2009
Yesterday saw the start of my assault on H.O.R.S.E Tournaments with the ultimate goal of earning enough revenue from the tournaments alone for mt WSOPE entry of around $3500, I’ve started with just $330 in my stars account and want to build on it from there, wish me luck!!
So it was day 1 of my challenge and i decided to play my favorite which is the $4k Gtd with a buyin of $30+$3 and 120 runners, all was going to plan and i sat top 10 for ages, i lost a couple of big pots in Hold’em one was my fault the other just unlucky. As we approached the money (top 24 were paid) i was sitting 22nd and ended up finishing a marvelous 24th for $44 a huge $11 profit!!
Not excatly the start i was looking for but it could have been worse i suppose. I also entered the $10+$1 $1000 gtd a bit later on, this time 192 runners and top 32 were paid. I finished 27th in that one again for a monster pay day of $14.40 hmmm so a $3.40 profit, at this rate the WSOPE is a long way off :-).
So here’s a round up of session 1:
Starting balance $330
Tournaments Played 2
Cashes 2
Closing Balance $344.40
Fingers crossed for some slightly better results next time i sit down, which is now as i’m playing the $16.50 tournament with a $2000 gtd prize pool, maybe i’m saving myself for the bigger pay days, but at least i’m cashing 100% so far..lol
