So Ive wanted to play in this for a long time but with no income, its kind of tough. Thankfully.. I have a lot of online contacts that have watched me play and are willing to invest in me for various events. So far, I have sold 20% out of 50% offered up. So if I'm able to get the other 30% sold at $9 per 5% increments, then I will definitely be there.

I'm basically a part of a staking website where online players stake you for live/online poker playing. You need to have decent results whether it be on stats websites online (officialpokerrankings.com or sharkscope.com) and then show good results on the staking website in the events you post. Offering a 50/50 split for this one, so I hope the other 30% left sells and then I'll text you and let you know if Ill be there.

Cool -

That's pretty interesting. If you would like, I will "invest" I can throw you a $20 spot.

All good bud. I sold out 50% so I'll be there playing $25 out of my own pocket. Friend of mine that I've won couple hundred for in the past from Hungary invested :)

The field is really soft. Good tourney to play in. I was chip leader for a bit until I ran into set over set with me having middle set and them top set. After that I was able to come back a bit but lost JJ vs AA.

Seriously, you could win a good chunk of change in this one.

Chris - Are you gonna make it?

Pizza - I will be up there at 9am playing some cash games before the tourney. I'll pm you my number. let me know when you get there.

Remember that you need to get a players card with your Driver's License or I.D.

Nah I don't think I'm gonna make it. I havent asked around for a stake and I cant afford to on my own dime.

Sorry bud.

Tourney Update:

Here's how my day went:

3rd hand of tourney, i'm the big blind, J,5 - Flop top 2 pair, guy from mid position calls me to the turn, I bet again, he calls. The river hits a 4 card straight and 4 card flush - he wins.

6th hand of tourney, UTG limps in, I have A,K harts, I raise to 150 (blinds 25, 50). Flopp 8,8,2 (2 harts), UTG bets into me.. i get sick, ok i look at at card, turn is a King, she bets again, I call - river is a blank - she bets I fold.

7th hand of turney, I have K,K - Raise to 250, wanted people to think i was tilting. Sm blind cold calls 225 - everyone else had folded. SB player is fairly tight - not a good player, but failry tight. Flop is 7,7,4. he checks, I bet. Turn is a J - Great card! I put him on K,J or A,J - he checks, I bet, he moves all in. I call - he has 6,7 offsuit. I puke - knocked out in 17 minutes.

It was a gross day.. But to be honest, I played like shit too.. So not only did I just take some funky hits on the hands.. I played like shit and invested to much money into each hand. I could have gotten away from the each hand if I had thought about it. i failed that day! LOL

Gross day man.. very gross.
