Be Lucky, just not against me!??!?!?

Satalites are good!!

A Few More Of These Would Be Nice.....................

Had a real good few weeks, and this result im uber happy with as have struggles with sats and Steps quite a lot last few weeks.

Have Obvioulsy taken the T$ but have decided that if i ever have +$1000 TD then i will play the Sunday Million with the next seat i get for my shot at the big time.

TBH all these pros couldnt handle my play......(lol yea GTFO....ed)

Still Vblog due soon, however moving back to old mans very soon so main goal for rest of month is to hit Silverstar for Dec, and im not too far away from that in all honesty!

2011 looks to be an exciting year and Pokerwise there are a lot of things in the pipeline for me, so all will be revealied soon,........

Keep Shipping.....

Step Fun

Decided to play 10 x Step A's today €2.20 in a bid to run them up high for either a EPT shot, or to use for UKIPT sats later on in year.

Played 10 @ €2.20 (€22)

The early steps (Step A & B) awarded 1st and 2nd with ticket to next step, 3rd a retry at same step and 4th a small € prize

Started running really bad finishing:
6th - A9 < A6 aipf
8th - QQ < JJ aipf
5th - TT < QT aipf

Then started getting momentum:
3rd - Step A repeat (€2.20)
4th - €0.80
3rd - Step A repeat (€2.20)
4th - €0.80
1st - Step B ticket (€7.50)
1st - Step B ticket (€7.50)
1st - Step B ticket (€7.50)

I then used the 2x repeats and finished:
8th - 0
1st - Step B ticket (€7.50)

Spent - €22
4 x Step Tickets - €30
Cash Monies - €1.60

Go Me

Step B has a top 2 advance, 3rd retries set up, which is poor but will hit these tickets up today/tomorrow in teh quest!!!

Start to Supernova

Looking like a Live d0nk

 

 

Figured the best way to start on the path to SN, with such a low roll would be to grind out the € and $ Steps, as with all the retrys that you can amass they are a great way to grind, with the end results being either shots at majors (with $215 tickets, or if i feel saucy a shot at a big live package)

Results so far:

4x Step A (€2.20) = 2x Step A retrys - AQ < AJ and QQ < A4 both 3 handed
1x Step 1 ($7.50) = 1x Step 2 ($27 value)

Find the €'s really tight, with 6-8 left at the 100/200 level often.
So im down in the €'s and up in the $'s so far.  But will be using these as a FPP grinder
Need 500FPPs for silverstar next month and 2000 by end of year to release $50, so short term goals are those definatly.
As well as getting back into the delights of HUsng grinding, now rolled for $6.25's and $11's - with a mix of 4mans in there.

Happy Grinding

Update on Life, Past and Future

A Crazy Month - and a look to the future

Well...............................

My monies i ground up on Tilt has been withdrawn and i have 0 in all accounts.

Money came a big issue with new job, due to complications and travel etc so i withdrew it all.

Other things also going on in the background, but all will be revealed if needed.

So hunting for a job closer to home, but atm my focus has to be on that and not poker.

The light at the end of the tunnel is the DTD Grand Prix, which takes place the last weekend in October.  I am regged for Day1b and the value is SICK!!!!!

They are gaurentee'in a £40k prizepool and £13k for 1st, as teh comp is a £50 buy in, thats extreme value.

Its also being filmed and shown on Sky/Virgin, so that will be interesting, sure many fish will be acting up to the cameras, hopefully there concentrations are on that whilst they donk there chips to me.

I am going up with a few friends, one of which has never played live before, so hope that goes well for him.

DREAMS OF SUPERNOVA

The Second Part of this Blog is a look to the future.  I spent many times documenting goals, doing ok then having to cash out etc or failing, well next year i have a new one.  And its stupid sick, but im a tryer.

Once i have this new job (and i wont have to spend £300 a month on fuel!) i will be depositing £150/$235 on Stars.  This may be, before the turn of the year (hopefully) and i will be attempting to make Supernova...............WHAT I HEAR YOU SAY!!!!!!!...................yes Supernova.

Now i know this is a redic idea, and in all honesty i am 80% certain i wont get there however that wont deter me.

My FullTilt grind was very succesfull turning $65 into $350 in 9 weeks, shows that when i put my mind to it i can do it.  Also working closer to home will help me do this as i wont have a) the financial pressures of old job and b) live closer to home and be able to play a bit more.

So what do i actually want to achieve - i just want to prove i can put the effort in and reap rewards.....i fully know it will be pretty impossible but id like to see how close i get and how much i can win.

Just to round up the levels on Stars they are as follows - 

Monthly

BronzeStar - 0vvp - 749vpp per month - earns 1fpp for every 1vpp

SilverStar - 750vpp - 2999vpp per month - earns 1.5fpp for every 1vpp

GoldStar - 3000vpp - 7499vpp per month - earns 2fpps for every 1vpp

PlatinumStar - 7500vpp + per month - earns 2.5fpps for every 1vpp

Yearly

Supernova - need to earn 10,000 vpps in the calender year.

How to earn vpps = mtt - you earn 5.5 vpps per $1 rake or 8vpp per 1e rake

                            cash - you earn 6vpps per $1 rake or 8.5vpp per 1e rake

Hopefully Stars will run a stellar reward program again, that would be nice!!

I basically need to earn 1000 vpps a month to be safe or rake $182 per month................nice!!!

My plan of attack will be simple - 

Lots of HU sngs, and micro cash to start, then some fpp sats, with the occasional mtt (bink me a score plz)

Whether i do it or not it should be fun.

Ill keep you all posted!!

"s4oot" for the stars ;)
