pocket_change 0 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Had one good day and one bad day this weekend for a net result of (-69) on the weekend, which sucks. I didn't make it to Pechanga so both of my sessions were relatively short at Hollywood Park. My weekend was indeed wild and I f'd up by playing last night when I could barely keep my eyes open. It's a bad sign when you're driving to the casino to play poker and you're falling alseep. Ugh.I'm going to Vegas next weekend and i'm seriously considering playing the $1500 WSOP event on Saturday. I have to figure out if I can really make it work as I have work on Monday and my friends are driving back Sunday. Day one: +$570 (4 hours) (BR: $770) Day two: +$629 (5 Hours) (BR: $1399) Day three: +$240 (6 Hours) (BR: $1639) Day Four/Five: +2383 (BR: $4022) Day Six: Didn't play (0) Day Seven: -$482 (4 hours) (BR: 3540) Day Eight: +$325 (1.5 hours) (BR: 3865) Day Nine: +$431 (2.5 Hours) (BR: 4296)Day Ten: -$500 (4 Hours) (BR: 3796)Total Hours: 46 Total Profit: $3596 Hourly rate: $78.17 Link to post Share on other sites

ThiefofHearts 0 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I have a similar bet going on currently with a friend. I dropped my account balance to zero and using only FPP points to start in freeroll tourneys (initially) I have to get to $1000 in 2 weeks. It is a $5000 bet and so far I am 2 days into it. I managed to win a little under $20 in the saturday $20,000 guarantee and so far have managed to get up to $270 with 10 days to go. At this point I am playing 6 tables at .1/.25 or 25nl and playing fairly tight. Link to post Share on other sites
