$75 MiniFTOPS ME - GOGOGO?

    Default $75 MiniFTOPS ME - GOGOGO?

    Is everyone in? It's vamo time?

    I changed my sleep schedule for this tournament. I was finally used to getting up at 9 am every day but then this event came along. If you can somehow go deep in it, you'll definitely be playing well into the morning. So I figured may as well get up really late on Sunday so that I can be awake for as long as possible in the off chance that I go deep. Dedication, right?

    I kinda wanna start playing at 12:30 pm PT because of the $300k guaranteed, but I also wanna be able to play all 6 of my ME entries at 2 pm. So I guess I'll just start at 2 pm, register the ME six times, and play the Million and $100k.

    GLGL everyone! Stay off my tables!

    1-2 entries max. I really don't like multi-entry tournies

    I hate multi entries too, to be honest. I usually skip the $26 KO MET at 12 pm PT. I don't mind going all out for the main event, though.

    Yeah at least the ME should have a good late-game structure

    Just noticed only 8% of entrants get ITM. In the Stars DNG, 14% get paid.

    Preflop: Hero is SB with K, K
    7 folds, Hero bets t4000, BB calls t3200

    Summary of my ME tilt:

    Bought in for 6 stacks

    After 3 hours had 3 stacks left (25bb, 28bb, 28bb, 68bb)

    After 4 hours had 2 stacks left (15bb and 26bb)

    After 5 hours I was busto. My best stack was 70k (44bb) right before I busted with KK before the break.

    I have to admit that there is something extra tilting about being in a donkament for 5 hours and not cashing. dthorne04 and I bought in 12 times between us and it looks like we might get ONE cash out of it if he manages to survive a bit longer.

    I think a better line is to call flop raise and gii on safe turn. J8 is the only hand (maybe Q8s and K8s too) that I can think of that you are decently ahead of here. TT-QQ 3-bet pre; 68-T8 are either racing or have you crushed; and then 2 pair plus has u crushed too.
