Satellite Win and a Final Table

Just won a seat into tonight’s 750k guarantee on FullTilt. It was a $24+2 mtt satellite with 35 seats. Took over the chip lead with about 75 left, sat out for a long time before I had to come back as people were taking way too long to bust and my stack was getting whittled down. Ended up about 10 from the bubble when it burst.

At the same time I’ve been playing a $24+2 180 seat SnG on FullTilt. Currently have over 1/3 the chips in play with 6 left at the final table. I’ll post a bit more once it wraps up.

$14 into?

Well I just got done with my 2nd satellite cash in 3 days. Friday night I played in a $14 super on FullTilt for entry into todays’ $100 satellite into the $500 buyin, $1 million guarantee. I just won my seat in that having busted in 80-something with the top 185 in the field making it. I’m also playing in the $5k guarantee, 6-max, PLHE tournament. I’ve chipped up a bit but it’s still really early in that one. I kind of wish that I hadn’t entered though as I like to concentrate fully on a single table in the big buyin events. Plus I could use a little break. Oh well. I might as well just go ahead and go deep in them both!

So I’ll be on the lookout for other bloggers in this thing, hope to see you at the final table :)

WSOP ME $160 DS

Well I just won my way into a double shootout sat for the WSOP Main Event on PokerStars. For those unfamiliar with this format, it is essentially two Sit ‘n Goes where the winners of the first table all advance to the 2nd. In this case, I spent $15.50 on a rebuy MTT to get my seat. In this tournament, 9th place or the final table first out, gets $30, which actually would even be a profit for me. 2nd through 8th get $160, which is the actual buyin for the sat. 1st place gets an $11,000 prize package which can be $12,000 if you agree to wear PokerStars logo’d gear at the ME.

Although I hadn’t played much lately, they have yet another new deposit processor that I tried out. It’s quick and easy to sign up and the 4% deposit fee isn’t exorbitant considering the current landscape. It does have the downside of not being able to cash back out to. But if I ever hit a big score I will just either actually get an epassporte account or request a check. These double shootouts on stars have always in the past been some of my favorite satellites and although I was planning on just trying some sats for the $1500 events, this was just too good of an opportunity to pass up. So hopefully you’ll see a big post with a screenshot later if I can punch my ticket!
