Well I managed to get a couple of $11 games in but blew off the $33 game that I should play daily. I had some stuff to take care of around the house so I did that instead of “work”. So once again no big risk, no big reward.
Seven tournaments played. Three cashed, though neither of the $11 ones were cashes. Final tally +$6.02. The largest cash was a Bodog Poker $6.60 turbo that I got 6th in for $23.52.
Just woke up, only three private tourneys lined up right now. Will let you know if I find my balls and play something worthwhile.
I only managed to play in five tournaments and one ring game on Sunday. I made a whole $2.46 in the ring game and netted $1.60 in one of the MTT’s. But you may recall this from yesterday:
“With the added risk in mind I am going to play the Bodog $100K guaranteed at 4 pm today. I won a ticket to it by answering a twitter trivia question.”
Yes I played in the Bodog Poker $100k Guaranteed tournament Sunday. I adopted a “never play” strategy. I only played when the cards made me. The tournament starts with 5,000 chips. After the first hour I had around 5,400 chips. After the second hour I had 4,500 chips.
I doubled up in the third hour to 9,200 chips but that was it. With 74 people left I had less than 3,000 chips. 63 got paid so I was a bit glum. Somehow when we hit the 63 players that cashed ($300), I had 30,000 chips.
I stuck to my “never play” strategy and managed to end up 9th! Thats right baby, final table of a Sunday major tournament. I got written up on news reports and everything. Also the $1,700 for 9th is a pretty good payday for a micro grinder. Total net winnings for Sunday +$1,691.96
I would like to thank Bodog Poker for the free tournament ticket. You guys are awesome!
So here i sit waiting for Bodog’s twitter trivia question and hoping to get another ticket to the $100k guaranteed for free! I will play a couple of forum games and may take a shot at a modest $33 bounty tournament. More on that tomorrow.
Well, I did not play much of a schedule Saturday. I did play quite a bit, but there were no high risk/reward games that I played. My largest tournament cost me $5.50, and I played one ring game (10ct/25ct). My total risk over 9 tournaments and 1 ring game was $35.45. My total reward on these was $72.75 for a net profit of $37.30.
Its nice to make money, but really, I need to start increasing my risk if I want any kind of reward to show for it. My best cash was winning the Holdem Poker Chat league game at Full Tilt Poker for $29. With the added risk in mind I am going to play the Bodog $100K guaranteed at 4 pm today. I won a ticket to it by answering a twitter trivia question. Tomorrow’s update will have my results in that affair. Cya!
