I went into Sunday with 11 wins tied with “PokerStallion” atop the FTP 750k satellite challenge leaderboard.
The entire week I was on the lookout for “The Fiend 34“. I was aware of his domination of FTP sats but he was nowhere on the leaderboard radar.
That was until today when he came out 14-tabling, piling up win after win finishing the day with 23 and a 1st place finish in the sat challenge for a cash bonus of $400. I got $200 cash for 2nd. 3rd got nada. You shoulda woke up earlier instead of sleeping in PokerStallion, sucks to be you. MonkeyLover fizzled out after Friday. I think he finally figured out he wasn’t gonna keep up playing $14+1 double-shootouts.
I finished the week with 16 after adding 5 more wins on Sunday. I guess I needed an 18 game lead going into the last day of the challenge. Either that or try and 14 table them which is probably not gonna happen.
Next time, I’ll stay away from the turbo MTT sat minefields that run on Sundays and just stick to the single table non-turbo sng sats. The fields are very soft. The turbo MTT sats just cut into my profit and are more or less a crapshoot. I won 2 seats in 4000 fpp MTT satellites that didn’t show up in my total. I’m not sure why that is but whatevah, I picked up 86k in FPP’s. Now Tina wants me to get a Sony camcorder from the Full Tilt Store. That might be fun but I think I’m gonna sit on the FPP’s for now.
Unfortunately, i didn’t take the title this week but it was definitely a profitable experience. Maybe next time.
If you feel comfortable answering what kind of profit did you turn on these throughout the week?
I know you wanted to win, but, hey, congrats on 2nd.
Nice run….IMO if your going to this, you should stick solely to the 69 1 table, which is alot easier to multi table, and top 3 get seats. I did this months back, and was also irritated that I won some seats via FPP’s which didn’t count.
On a side note, I know ‘The Fiend 34′ pretty well. He’s a SNG pro, and basically only plays the 1 table SNG’s. Sorry to say, that I chip dumped to him in one of those wins yesterday, when I got it in pre with QQvsKKvs99…he held the 99.
Word of advice. When the wife wants you to buy a camcorder you need to ask whether she wants you to get a tripod as well or just put the camcorder on the dresser. You’re welcome smokee. You can always send me thank-you transfers to Kajagugu on FTP.
Remon on 2nd, but at least you got some $$$.
Congratulations, well done. I wasn’t aware that was why you needed a camera. You crazy west coast hippies.
“when he came out 14-tabling, piling up win after win finishing the day with 23″
That is just sick.
