Re: Zero to ??? on Merge in 30 days - Join me!

I've been doing this the last couple of months. Won 2 funstep3s and have been grinding 11cent super turbos ever since. I'm up to 11$ after 900 games+ a 2.20 cent satellite ticket I won in a freeroll. Once I get up to ~20$ I'm switching to 1$ double ups. Sucks that merge doesn't have anything good in between these levels. The 10 cent rake on a turbo 50cent sit n go is totally ridic, so I've stayed away from those as it's probably tough to beat the game by much with rake that high. If you like MTTs the sixth cent is a pretty good one to play with a micro roll (5cent+1cent with one 5 cent rebuy). Usually gets 400+ entrants. Anyways, gl and sorry for the wall of text.

maybe you should just call with any random hand when the all-ins go on. You'll lose a lot, but when you win, you'll be in good shape.

there is absolutely no reason to do this. a few usually do this right away and someone ends up with a big stack (in the step 1 and 2s anyway) - if you are patient and wait for hands -these guys will double you up anyway - with less variance as the first levels of all ins. usually the chip leader after the first hand has 3 or 4 grand after knocking out a few people - but this guy rarely makes the top 3 to move on actually. and if he does - he continues to get lucky knocking out players left and right - just stay out of his way - and then you move on.

FUN STEP ONE'S went worse than I've ever run?!

Played 7 so far and this is how they went:
1- all in preflop 1st hand KK < A3
2- out 6th - AK<J10 (he rzd all in pre for 25bbs - sick)
3- out 5th - QQ<66
4- After I flop set of 888s - guy ships from 200 to 4200 with overs - he hits running flush backdoor -
5- 4th my QQ < AA (got pretty cold on that hand but at least I lost to better hand)
6- 4th I raise my AA - big stack ships I call - results - my AA<AQ??

7- YEA I WON ONE????

wtf - I usually run about 70+% in step one and two - lol - oh well have 3 more step 1 then go from there.

And I'm avg chips in horse!

lol. i work in event management (on major events - like superbowls - olympics - major political events - etc.)

usually when i'm home - i'm home (and usually playing at commerce or hawaiin gardens) - and when i'm at work - i'm at work (working 16-20 hour days)... my life is pretty good i guess!

1 month for superbowl...
2 months for ncaa final four...
2 months on pga championships...
1 month for nba finals...
etc etc etc

with 3 and 4 week projects peppered in like Gold Cup Soccer - or what I'm currently working on (a political event coming up in hawaii)...

also travel many times a year as consultant - like i'm back in forth to england some these days as a consultant for the olympic games coming up in 2012.

my days these past few days i've just had conference calls for the upcoming hawaii trip - along with a LOT of emails... this is why i'm messing around with this little challenge. i have to be home for the calls and emails -etc - so i'm not out at commerce or wherever.

so i guess - I AM AT WORK!

and i'm not sure if you would want to do it - when it's on - it's CRAZY!

lol
