vonteego3 0 Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 So, here's the deal. I'm leaving for Iraq in about 2 months. I've become insanely bored with poker, and dwindled my bankroll down to $330 from about $1500 via a visit to a great strip club in Niagara and transferring the rest into my TDAmeritrade account.With my remaining bankroll (or 'roll, as the cool kids call it), I'm looking to take a few risks to try to turn it into a good bit more so I can pamper my dogs while I'm in the desert, or even pay off my truck before I go. Beyond the "put it all on black" suggestion that someone will inevitably throw out, I'm looking for suggestions. A bunch of 24+2 guaranteeds on FT? a bunch of 40Ks on Party? Sitting with it all at a $500 max NL table? playing in a few big 100+9 tourneys? Let me know what crosses your mind... only good ideas and those suggested by a special few respected posters will be considered... I've already checked, and blowing it all on a hooker here isn't worth it. Link to post Share on other sites

AcesUp46 0 Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 200 max sounds good. Just track down Tuff Fish and catch him playing his LAG game. Haha...if you're lucky, you might even get featured on the latest Tuff Fish video. Link to post Share on other sites
mrdannyg 274 Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 basically, just figure out what you're goal is.if you do something like play a few SNGs or put it on a 400-max table, it's extremely likely you lose it all. more importantly, its unlikely anything great happens.if you're looking for one big score, i recommend playing a couple big MTT's. buy into 3 100+10's or something and look for a big cash. at least then, on the unlikely chance (no offense) that you get lucky and hit something, it'll be something big.
