Live Series

I played my weekly live game tonight. This is how it works:
  • $20+5 buyin. $20 for that night's prize pool, $5 for the championship game's prize pool. There are 13 weeks played, plus the championship game
  • The better you place every week, the more points you get. Points are accumulated all throughout the series.
  • Top 20 players make it to championship game. Stack sizes are based on how many points were accumulated throughout the series. There is going to be an additional $20 add-on the day of the championship.
So anyways, I took 3rd/15 last week for like $60 in cash and placed in 5th/16 tonight for $0. I played pretty well for the most part and did what I had to do. I lost about half my starting stack the first hand I played when I held KK and lost to a set. I was able to grind back by shoving all in and getting lucky against many people. I won QJo versus AQs all-in pre, T8o versus T9s all-in pre, and ATs versus QQ all-in pre. I ran like the sun there but feel comfortable with the majority of my shoves there. I was shortstacked and there wasn't much to do.

Anyways, the 2 people that finished ahead of me last week busted before me this week so hopefully I don't fall too behind in the standings. I'll add them later to this post I guess when they get emailed to me.

I'm ending the night with the $17k Guarantee on Full Tilt... would be nice to stop sucking. =]
