Back from the Prelim trip for a little break until the Main Event.

Cashed in 2 out of the 4 events, and only used 1 bullet in the Millionaire Maker.

Gave myself a chance for a big score in both the Millionaire Maker where I finished 311th out of 7,761 entries and a real shot at a big score in the $3,000 6-Max where I finished 66th out of 971 entries.

I was extremely proud of the way I played throughout these events and feel like I'm playing the best tournament poker I've ever played at the moment. I was especially happy with my play during the $3k 6-Max event where I was routinely playing with some of the most talented tournament players in the game today.

Results:

June 8th 2017 - $1500 WSOP NLH 6-Max - $0 Winnings

June 10th 2017 - $1500 Millionaire Maker 1A - 311th Place for $5,298 Winnings

June 11th 2017 - $1500 Millionaire Maker 1B - $1,779 Refund (Buyin + Markup)

June 12th 2017 - $2,620 NLH Marathon - $0 Winnings

June 14th 2017 - $3,000 NLH WSOP 6 Max - 66th Place for $6,191 Winnings

Results aside, I really like how you ran this stake. At no time was there any question about what was happening or where we stood. I hope others use you as a model. gg!

Albedoa and Fargopoker,

Thank you for the kind words.

I feel like if investors are going to buy shares in me, then I owe it to them to keep them updated as much as possible. For some backers, I understand it's more than just the money that keeps them engaged. They want to feel like they are a part of the tournament with the player, and sweat the action. The only way they can experience that is if the player gives status updates as much as possible.

I'm sure my tweets annoy some of my followers, but if that's the case then they can stop following me. I update and post as much as possible to keep my backers engaged during a tournament. Maybe I'm not as cool as all the other pro's who only update when they bag, but I don't care. I care more about keeping the backers updated and engaged.

They deserve it!

I agree that more players should take my approach. There's nothing negative that comes from it, and they'd probably get more people interested in backing them if they updated as regularly as they should.
