Shipped $750k seat and Coaching

I didn't play much today poker today. I woke up around 9 and quickly played a $69+6, 9-handed SNG that was dishing out 3 seats to Sunday's $750k. I find that these SNGs are extremely easy. I mean finish Top 3 of 9, seriously? I managed to tilt someone early in the match although I don't remember how or what I did to do so. I eventually ended up hating him too because he just wouldn't shut the hell up. I doubled up through him a few times and then decided that I didn't want him to get a seat. Once we were 4-handed, I raised every single BB he posted with any two cards. Unfortunately he still got a seat.

I'm going to try to play some Shoot-Out tournaments in the next few days. I don't think any big guarantees run but just a $24 event will do. I've met a lot of success playing winner-take-all SNGs and I think I'd like to see how that transitions in a tourney. Not to mention, FTOPS has a x3 Shootout event and a x4 Shootout event which both sound like fun.

I've got $2050 in my roll and about $648 T$s. Not to mention I'm registered for the $750k this weekend ($216), and next month's FTOPS Event #1 ($216) and Event #9 ($322). All in all, I've got about $1402 in T$s. That's sick haha. Fwiw I can convert these T$s to real money but at a 5% commission rate. It's plain retardedto do that unless you want to withdraw or unless you're a cash player, because to a tournament player T$s are just as good as real money. So, all in all I've got about $3.5k in my roll. For now I'm trying to save those T$s though because I may wanna use them for FTOPS events. (I can afford the $535 Main Event now!)

In another news, someone on 2+2 posted about wanting Sunday coaching. He'll be playing the 750k and Mulligan on Tilt. I jokingly sent him a message saying I'd coach him and if he was interested to just take a look at my OfficialPokerRankings.com stats or my PokerDB stats. Well apparently he did and was impressed? Haha, he's offereing me $20/hr to rail and chat with him this Sunday. We'll both be playing the $750k and I'm debating tryint to sat into the Mulligan so I can play with him in that event as well.

Tomorrow I don't think I'm playing at all. I work 8-4, supposedly hanging out with friends from 4-7 (although maybe I'll play at this time if things fall through lol), then playing a live league I joined at 8. Its a pretty interesting live series which I'll blog more about tomorrow. Afterward I'll be meeting up with a few friends for drinks.
