What is the travel time to the casinos you play?
My local casino hasnt had a poker room in years and it really is a bummer.
Closest "good" game at a casino is 2hrs away.
Or theres michigan charity rooms about an hr away. But they can only run certain hrs and can only sell $15k in chips a night.
Sucks having a bad beat and not being able to rebuy.
Thanks for the blog/vlog, it's very inspiring. And very jealous of all the play you get it. Lol

If anyone wants a sweat, we have 40 minutes for this high hand to hold.

High hand this hour is worth $1200, and a player got Q high str8t Flush in first five minutes of the hour.

After some negotiation, I bought his high hand for $1k. Risking $1k to win $200.

Have to play both hole cards to qualify and 2 hands beat us.
I like my side, but never know. LG!
*Deal making doesn't go towards $40k challenge

Freeroll Tourney for June hours played is tonight.

50hours qualify for 5k chips
100 hours get 7,500 chips
151 get 10k chips

I'm assuming blinds will start at 25/50 w 15 min levels.

$10 add on for 2,500 chips. Tourney ends at 20 players. Those 20 get $500.

62 players qualified.
Only 1 w the max 10k chips, estimated 10 w 100 hours, estimated 50 w the min chips.

My prediction is 7 players will be a no show, leaving us w 55 in the field.

Can anybody offer strategy? My thoughts are everyone will b playing tight. Do I counter that w aggression? Or try to nit my way to the money.

If we make the $, PER $40k rules we CANNOT count the $500 towards challenge. A bit of a beat; since we earned these hours playing 1/2. But, rules are rules and the dude abides.

Live updates on here throughout tourney. Tourney starts st 7p (not 6p). *if not reg'd by 7:30, automatically disqualified.

Play aggressive. Noone will be playing back at you and folding to the money from the start is silly to try. Run up a monster stack, then calm down. Bubble pressure would be fun to flex but probably wont be necessary.

Thanks @Prodigy93 I'm kind of thinking the same.

Game time in 3hrs 15mins.

On a sidenote, now stuck around -$200 ish on the month.

Played a draw aggressively, and hit otr last night.

Opened $8 ($500 stack) w 68 got 4 callers.

Pot $32. Flop: 9Q4.

I'm first to act and bet a small $10, and get 2 callers (both cover).

Pot $64. Turn: 7

I check, 2nd player checks, cutoff reg bets $50. I ch/raise to $200 with $200 behind. P1 folds, cutoff tank calls.

Pot $464. River: 10

I put the rest in ($200) w my straight. Cutoff calls.

Straight>? No show

@Jolette most cards that don't change board texture.

Its a freeroll tourney. BE aggressive, get yourself to 20k-22K and sit out and go play cash. 36% of the field getting paid if your estimate on no shows hold true.

Also, it's too bad that this is strictly a 1/2 challenge. With the promotions the 10/20 LHE has tons of value.

I just signed up and they didn't even blind me off.
Looks like 6 tables of 9, so 54 players showed of 62. *8 players are idiots.

Keep us updated! I'm surprised you get service in the poker room? I didn't think anyone did. I'm obviously wrong! Get that extra $500
