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My monies i ground up on Tilt has been withdrawn and i have 0 in all accounts.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