I've never played in the World Series of Poker. I've always wanted to but for one $10,000 is a lot to part with, especially someone like myself with a modicum of talent and no real live tournament experience. Certainly there are a lot of satellites out there, but therein lies another problem....I've never been a good satellite player. In fact I could imagine myself squandering a ton of money and still never quite getting there.
However, Internettexasholdem.com asked me to put together an article showing the different satellites offered to the WSOP Main Event. I decided on 8 sites and put together some graphs [seen below] with what I believe are the best satellite opportunities online. Click on the pictures and see what I mean.
PokerStars
Full Tilt
Party Poker
Bodog Poker
Good Luck on your journey.
Call me bubble boy. Call me Mr. Almost.
It's been a tough road these past few weeks. I've had a lot of money bubbles and Final Table bubbles lately. Certainly, I seem to have cashed some, but the bubbles have been stacking up:
- Four 6th place finishes in $2 and $3 27-person SnGs
- One 19th and one 20th places finish in Stars $4/180s
- 10th in a $2 Rebuy on Full Tilt with 480 runners
- 14th in the Full Tilt Daily Dollar Rebuy with 4200 runners
Despite not being able to get over the hump [and not being able to close out my multi-table SnGs with a win], I've managed to make a small profit these past two weeks.
Just need to remain focused and eventually, I'll push through.
Good luck at the tables!
Visiting in-laws and family tends to detract from adequate poker playing time altogether. I like spending time with my relatives and let's face it, as I age, so do they, so the more time the better. Old stories that I remember, new stories they remember.
I've seen a ton of movies though. A lot of stuff I wouldn't pick out myself, but some that is agreeable. Some that stand out:
- All Hat with Keith Carradine
- Storm of the Century by Stephen King
- Zombieland with Woody Harrelson
Poker has been relegated to a few Daily Dollar rebuys on Full Tilt [one of which I ended prematurely with a hefty stack because I was getting very sick], a few PL O/8 MTTs on Stars and a cash game run of NL5 on FTP. Nothing substantial. Still miffed about getting sick when running well. :(
