Wawawa ...was knocking on the door of some nice FT $ in the 500k gtd at PHo today but AhQh < 99 for a comfortable stack sent us to the rail in 15th, still good for just shy of $7k. Playing good though and tons of ammo left in the pack, 10k+ score has to be coming very soon. Got the Omaha championship at GN on the books for Wed so I'll be taking off tomorrow and getting prepped for that.

And for the record we didn't need that second bullet for the 500k gtd so that's still in play.

Yo.
I appreciate all the updates and pics, but could we have some info on runners left, places paid and actual payout? A lot of that info is updated good on wsop but the other casinos its hard to find info. That or I'm not too google savvy.

Thanks for the sweat and running good!

The pH poker twitter handle regularly links to their Google documents site that lists chip counts, payout schedules, tournament structures, and the like. They update regularly and were a good source during the Goliath (colossus jr). I think it's @PHpoker, but just search on twitter and you'll find it.

Sorry I'll do that more. On dinner break pretty deep in the 6max but my big 80k stack was eroded to 30k with KK 66 then to 7.5k AQ < 99. Got back to 21k but avg is 55k so gotta work it. Not pumped about how the plo event went so I think its better value for everyone if I drop the $1500 o8 and fire both flights of the monster stack (if needed). Let's crush the weekend.

Ugh busto 6max gii Q9dd vs pair on 6-7-8 2 diamond flop...how do I miss the deck? Lol played great it just wasn't supposed to happen today I guess. Time to crush that monster.

Ah monster only single entry. No problem well find something highly favorable to replace the o8.

Wsop $1500 bounty? $500 bounties. ..

^im thinking the main event of the PHo series could be really good, then maybe tack on an extra WPT500 shot. For now gonna try to go deeper at the PHo tomorrow than I did in the previous one.

Stone cold bubble in that last PHo. Unfortunately I got down to 8bigs so was essentially laddering into min...however I picked up AQ in the cutoff against a 2bb sb who was folding 98% and a 20bb bb who was surely folding the vast majority as well...I jammed and bb called with AA...not even a tease when flop comes 9A9. Today we play the mixed format...with the shallow starting stack its gonna be all about the start on this one, if I make day 2 the 6max portion will play strongly to my advantage and I can take care of business in hu as well. Should I get K.O. well likely fire at the $1100 VDS flight C tomorrow. Follow the action on Twitter, let's roll!

selling a small package to 3 events in a schedule gap if anyone wants to take a peak

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/18.../#post47282906

I've also mapped out the remainder of this current package to make up for the missed events when we went deep, pretty sure I've chosen the biggest value options and I'll post what that lineup looks like tomorrow! Right now I have a few days to recollect and refocus to come in as strong as possible to the Extended Play WSOP (90 min lvls) on the 20th which is quite possibly the event I'm the most excited about (along with the mixed format and the ME)

Firing the PHo main in 2 days and taking that sht down.

Gonna play the $400 PHo 200k Gtd tomorrow in place of one of the wpt 500s, got a good feeling bout it, if I go deep enough in it will probly freeroll everyone on the other wpt500 bullet anyways.

GLGL. Looking forward to the rail!

Firing 1 of potentially 2 bullets to the GN ME tomorrow, if one bullet then playing WPT500 at Aria also. Afterwards I'll be updating the thread with a recap of the mtts played ect...have all the tix except the mspt 1100 but can verify if needed. After that we'll gear up for the big bad Main Event grind. For now it's all about crushing tomorrow. Got the confidence going in and will be playing perfect. Hunnngry for a FT and I play/run good at da' nug.

Not firing the GN. Woke up with really horrible heartburn/indigestion. I'm pissed bc this is the first one I've missed the entire duration not due to schedule conflicts. I'll get a list up tonight of everything I've played on the package. Technically I have one more left to play before the main but I might just spend the next few days entirely getting ready for the main event, in which case I'll play one after or rerun the $ with the mu on the remaking balance.

updating played list in a min

So here are the mtt played this summer


May 27th Orleans Main Event NLH $540
May 29th Event 5B The Colossus 5 Mill GTD $565
May 30th Event 5D The Colossus 5 Mill GTD $565
June 3rd MSPT VDS $1100
June 5th Event 16A Millionaire Maker 1 Mill GTD 1st $1500
June 7th PHo 100k Maker 500K GTD $565
June 10th GN Plo Championship $565
June 11th GN 6max NLH Championship $565
June 12th Event 28A Monster Stack NLH $1500
June 14th Phamous Monster Stack 500K GTD $565
June 16th Event 34 Split-Format NLH $1500
June 17th VDS 1 Mill GTD $1100
June 20th Event 42 Extended Play NLH $1500
June 25th PHo Goliath Main Event $1150
June 28th Pho 200k in a day $400
June 30th GN Main Event $565

I thought the remaining balance was around $600 but this list would indicate it's around $1250 so I need to review everything and make sure I didn't miss something , if I'm feeling it next few days I'll fire it up in some smaller things before main and/or there's a $600 satty to VDS 5k ME after the WSOP Main (though I completely intend to still be ridiculously deep and smashing the main at the time)

pretty disappointing overall as I had every intention of being freerolling entire pack by now but made a ton of deep runs that lost in flips and 70%+ers...any of which going differently would have produced vastly different and more profitable outcomes. In the past, time to destroy main event field.


planning to play the main on flight C (tues) with a tiny chance of doing B on mon instead...ill let everyone know if that changes. hope everybody is ready to sweat it on twitter bc its gonna be a long action packed rail. pray for me...sacrifice a chicken...do whatcha gotta do...lets just win this thing.

Also found the missing MSPT ticket/receipt

Been getting really bad anxiety issues in regards to the main event. I've been trying to get focused and pumped up but nothing's working quite right. To be honest I had anticipated being in a better situation in regards to my results and confidence by this point in the summer but right now I just can't make myself comfortable with the buy in amount and am having a major mental block and as such don't feel like I can offer my best.

My preference would be to put forth an alternative in which I play some satellites to Main Event (super confident in my satellite game and feel I offer a ton of value towards main event in this regard) then put in work playing out the remaining amount in a number of smaller high value events this month that I feel I offer a very significant ROI in (VDS//Bellagio). I know I'm letting a lot of people down with this decision not to just play the main outright and apologize for that. As such, I'll be taking a vote whether you want me to go this route or simply roll the amount for the Main+markup back into payouts. Please give your inputs on which you would like me to do and I'll be trying to contact some of you tomorrow to get your decisions.

A. Roll the 10k w/mu back into payouts

B. (audible) Bulk of which being:
Mega Sat to ME $1060
Mega Sat to ME $2080
VDS 1.25 mill GTD $1100
VDS 1.25 mill GTD $1100
VDS 40k GTD bounty $600
VDS Sat to 5k ME x2$600+$600
VDS 200k GTD $400
VDS 200k GTD $400
Sat to Bellagio cup ME $1090

*this would be the bulk of the alternative schedule, tbo I just think I have the best chance of offering a solid ROI this way rather than all the eggs in the ME basket WITH my head not in the right place.

Sorry again for changing my mind, was never my intention but I just don't feel 'right' about this one as is.

Let me know what you guys wanna do either way and I'll be cool with w/e.

Thx -Ryan

Poker is such a mental game... what makes us hero call sometimes and lay down a monster others is a little voice that must be listened to. Even though your play has been great, the run bad has hurt confidence and we all know nervous money never wins. Hit that audible button and run that ME with 1k down instead of 10k down! Not to mention, we all get more twitter rails out of this deal!

I only have a small stake so I'm not sure my opinion matters much, but I'm good with either decision you make. It's been a fun ride, just as the previous pkgs were, so even though monitarially speaking we aren't free rolling with the entertainment value I feel like I am. Good Luck in whatever decision you make.

I would really like to see you play the ME - no other tournament can come close to offering the kind of return that's possible from the main. Even though we aren't freerolling by now, I am still very confident in your game. And the structure of the main is suited to your thinking play, with a little bit of run good which with no doubt you're due for you'd be able to crush!

I would rather you play 20% ME satellites until you make the main, then use the any money left for events afterwards. The ME added so much value to this package, and playing those sattys can almost guarantee that you make the main.

So my 30% vote is to use the 10k for non stop (preferably 20% go through) satellites till you get in, then once you do you can work out an alternate schedule with the rest.

The appeal of this package, for me at least, was the number of tournaments played in combination with the main, would be pretty disappointed if you didn't play but I also don't want you to light money on fire, so do you you think you need to do.

Small stake, so good either way. Really want to see you in the main, so some sats at a minimum then other tourneys ok with me. GL, don't over think this, chill and come back fighting.
