a bit of validation
xdrb, Oct 16 2011
So finally tonight got my first taste of live tourney victory.
Home game with 45 players at $50 BI, ended up splitting 1st/2nd cash once we got to heads up for 960/2 = $480. Since I had a backer on the BI ended up with $300.
Bubbled 2 previous times, and got knocked out last time wih QQ vs AJ so it was particularly satisfying.
Little bit about me:
1. Currently in grad school = #1 priority. I know a lot about nutrition/exercise/lifting/etc. if anyone needs advice on this type of stuff.
2. Got $10 last dec from asdf2000, and played occasionally on weekends and grinded it up to $60 something playing SNGs. But then black friday happened and yeah.
3. Went to Hero (thanks Dave) and binked one of the free rolls for $5 and $10, and got one of the 100+100 and have grinded it up to $200 playing FR 4NL, but went on a 10 BI downswing which sucked to ~$160. Played a bit for the first time in a few months and am back up to $170. Hopefully, once I hit $200 again I'll take a shot at 10NL and go from there.
We'll see how this plan works out with grad school and other stuff I need to get finished! Hardest thing for me is just getting in the volume.
But yeah, glad to have a first blog. Love you guys. I don't post much but I read a lot of everyone's threads.
