Fight back!



On Saturday i went out leaving $840 in the account, Sunday morning i woke up with $540 in the account - Not nice. Sunday morning i went to bed with $440 in the account - Shit.

The $300 downswing was due to playing pissed - the extra $100 spunked was due to a $10 re-buy tournament offering too much value. With a $4k first prize (4 day trip to Atlantic City and entry to a WPT boot camp thing) i thought 'i fancy a piece of that'. Then, when only 72 runners had turned up at start time i thought, 'shit me; i HAVE to play in this'. With a $10 rebuy and a big first prize you expect people to play silly for the first hour and try and build a 10-20k stack before the end of the hour when re-buys stop. Then you would expect that the prizepool reflects the value of the tournament, say 100-300 rebuys.

NOT ON THIS SITE. At the break, only 46 players were left, people actually didn't rebuy!! The value was tremendous and only me and about 6 others knew how to play this, SUPER FAST trying to double, triple, quadrouple stacks from the off. Well, six buy-ins later and the balance of the account down to $450 i thought it really isn't my lucky day :).

And it wasn't i busted out with 66 going for a Johnny Big Bollox move and ran into AA just at the wrong time. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh well, this MTT is on every Sunday so i will deffo be playing it again because value + fish = ME THERE.

Soooo, needed to find a gear change and get the challenge back on the road, played 3x$50 Heads Ups and won them all so the roll is on a more respectable and playable $600 ish. $50 HU with a $450 roll is pushing the 5% in play rule a smidgen LOOOOOOOOOOOL but i pretty much thought the shit or bust approach would be the only way of getting back. Should have a $1000 roll already but for the weekend's exploits, but the fight back is well and truly back on.

The mighty Builder - an extraordinary talent is tearing up the BF MTT's at the moment and i can see him cashing at the World Series very soon :).
