Chicago Poker Classic - one for the biggest and best tournament series of the year with tons of value because Horseshoe Hammond adds so many free seats, money and free cars into their tournaments from promotional money they rake from cash games all year. They also aren't afraid to slap on big guarantees.

$350 ReEntry - tournament has 8 flights with $1M GTD prizepool and $5,000 bonus for each additional day-2 stack you surrender. Also the person who surrenders the biggest stack is awarded $10k WSOP Main Event seat + $2,000 bonus 2nd and 3rd most chips surrendered receives additional $5,000 bonus. With my consistency in getting deep in huge fields I feel I'm very capable of double qualifying and receiving one or more bonuses.

$250 ReEntry - tournament has one new car added + $250k GTD prizepool with $5,000 bonus for each additional day-2 stack you surrender. The person who surrenders the biggest stack is awarded $10k WSOP Main Event seat + $2,000 bonus 2nd and 3rd most chips surrendered receives additional $5,000 bonus.

Promotions The $1500 CPC main event seats, $10k WSOP Main Event seats and the new car will be added to final payouts to investors. If we win the car I will take the cash option and it will be included in final payouts. If I win the $10k WSOP seat I reserve the right to pay investors cash instead of transferring percentages over.

2012 Chicago Poker Classic was my first package on the marketplace and I did great for investors by final tabling 3 events including the event #1 ReEntry with over 2,600 entrants using only 1 bullet. I was also in the lead for player of the series which awarded $50k bonus but I was passed by one point with only a couple tournaments left and needed a mincash to regain the lead. I gave investors a huge sweat by getting close in the last $240 turbo but busted 7 from the money. The link to that thread can be found HERE. I tend to do very well in huge fields because I'm use to staying focused and sharp for long periods grinding long 10-12 hour cash sessions 4-5 days a week.

Note - I forgot to post that if I happen to bag up 60bb's or more in any of the $350 ReEntry flights then I wouldn't play anymore bullets and refund the remaining bullets with markup. I only think it's worth chasing the $5k bonus and WSOP main event seat if there's also a chance of bagging up a larger stack as well. With that factor taken out it's basically just a $5k satellite.

I played this event last year and it had over 5000 entrants. I managed to double qualify and get my $3k bonus (which was last years bonus) using 4 bullets. I also placed 135th which isn't shown in Hendon Mob because they only posted top 99 cashes for some reason. Those of you who follow me on Twitter see that I get deep in most of the events I play especially the large fields. I feel that I have a great shot at receiving a $5k bonus or two...or three

$5000 cash bonus is a little different this year you need to be in top 4% to advance to day2. Last year I believe it was 10% advance to day 2. A great series nonetheless with bunch of free seats and satellites.

CPC $1500 main event - $1M GTD

The structure was great and allowed plenty of room to play good, strong poker. We had a great start getting to 40k by first break and kept the momentum going by reaching 54k by second break. Right before dinner break I built up to 70k @ 100/400/800 but took a hit with KK vs 77 on 89T board. The 6 on turn saves him and cost us 40k pot. Went to dinner break with 46k. After dinner came right back to chipping up getting 90k by last break and peaked at 115k in last level of the night but lost a few pots and only bagged 52k

We save on flight-b bullet which will be refunded with markup and also don't see a point playing the $250 ReEntry today because day-2 of that is the same day as day-2 the main event so that will also be refunded. That tournament has so much value with all the promotions thrown in it and I really wanted to play it! Biggest stack forfeited gets $10k main event seat, double bag get $5k bonus, 2nd and 3rd most bagged get additional $5k and also the Chrysler 300 to the winner! The schedule was put together awful. It makes no sense to run this ReEntry against the main event. I will put together a list of all tournaments missed, cashed etc for investors at the end of the package. Anyway, day-2 of the main event will resume at 12pm Sunday. Good luck us!

You can play the 250k day 2 is Monday. Main event day 2 is Sunday. Sacrificing some equity in the 250k probably worth it for your day 3 of the main.

oh, you're right. Day-2 of the main event conflicts with the extra $250 flights not the day-2. I think the value of the $250 comes from being able to play multiple flights for the $10k seat and $5k bonuses so I still believe the schedule was poorly done.

probably not much left so just keep the balance owed and I'll figure out the math at the end if the package. If any extra is owed no worries, you'll still be booked for the remainder of the series. Since I'll be making day-3 of the main event I'll be overlapping Mondays tournament as well

Day-2 CPC $1500 ME
Such a great tournament with excellent structure and so many soft spots in the field. Total entrants was 745 which barely met the $1M guarantee and 105 players returned for day-2 with 72 getting paid. We were short the whole day but I picked great spots to chip up and stay afloat. Most of my table was pretty short so 10-15bb's had tons of fold equity. We busted @ 1k/5k/10k with 88<KJ and took $4,346 for 39th place.


$250 ReEntry 250k GTD
I'll be playing the last flight of the $250 ReEntry today at 7pm which is in the package. They added a 2014 Chrysler 300 to the winner but if we happen to win it I'll take the cash option and add it to investor final payouts.


Monday $350 turbo
Such sick value in the final event with 3 WSOP $10k seats added to the prizepool. If a seat is won it will be part of the package but I reserve the right to pay investors the $10k value instead of transferring percentages.

$350 deepstack turbo
We cashed the $350 turbo last night and with 30 left we bust getting all in preflop with AcKc vs AJ for heaps. Flop KQ2 turn Q river 10 for 600k and top 3 chip stack. That definitely gives me a great shot at winning one of the 3 WSOP $10k main event seats and possibly the $28k up top

I'll be home tonight and figure out the cashes, missed and overlapped events then make a spreadsheet for investors. Thanks to all who invested. Glad we had an overall profitable package but those who follow my twitter know we should've profited much more if my cards could hold at crunch time.
