Duffer's Update Thread

After day 1 of my little adventure, things started out very well. I played 10, 45man SNGs and one MTT. The MTT was the 7pm deep stack ($11), finished out of the money (428th out of 2677) but think I played pretty well.

The 45mans continue to be great for me. A first, third and fourth were good enough to put us up $167 on the day.

My goal is to win enough to pay every one back from my online winnings and give myself a starting bankroll of $550 for February. Which also means, you all double your money.

  • So that means you need to profit $1100, ie have your online roll at $1650. I believe. That's an aggressive target... GL
  • You should post here when you start a session. Would be interested in railing you sometime. Keep up the strong performance. Remember...its OUR money >:D
  • Sorry I missed out on this -- I was away for a bit. After this is done if you have a desire to play higher let me know and maybe we can work something out. GL.

    I will be planning something for the Sunday Majors for February. I'll make sure to let you know.

    And I am starting a session right now AJ, if you want to rail.

  • OMG...harsh exit from the Satellite. Well played nonetheless.
  • So after getting owned by comp at Ron's tourney I headed home to fire up some 45man SNGs. At AJ's request, I let him know that I was going to start playing, so he could rail. Big mistake. Next 5 tournies and a satty, I didn't cash, not even a final table.

    So I take a dinner break, and start it up again. Decided to try three games at once. Won the first one, final table one other, then 4th in the third one. Decided to play two more before bed, to make it an even 10 45man SNGs for today (plus a satty and the $3.30 rebuy).

    Now for what you've all been waiting for, the update:

    Day 2 - Total Buyins - $134.30 - Won - $216.00 - Profit - $81.70

    To Date - Total Buyins - $255.30 - Won - $504.00 - Profit - $248.70

    So far, so good.
  • Okay, I get the hint. No more railing. You seem to do a lot better without me watching over your shoulder.

    Nice start to your month. Keep it going Dev!!

    Don't think he takes well to pressure... lol.. Same thing happened when I railed him on Saturday..


    Woohoo, I'm up $24.80 for my $110. investment... Should be agazzzilionaire by the end of the month....
  • Money shipped, I'll try to stay away from the railing too

    Keep up the good work!
  • Honestly, you guys can rail all you want. It really doesn't affect my play at all. However, I would appreciate no chat at the table. You can comment in this thread about any hand you saw though.
  • monies shipped for 50% cut

    Do NOT get overconfident... :) Stay with the plan..

    Are you kidding ? I'm scared to death about losing this stake. There is no chance I am going to screw this up.

    1. My wife would kill me. (I think she already has my year end bonus spent)
    2. My live play would shrivel up to nothing
    3. You guys know where I live

    On a more serious note, I think I am done with big field MTTs for now. They take a long time to play and I can grind more 45man SNGs and make way more.

    Ammended your list...;)
  • GG Devon. I think making the deal was a good move. Well done. Keep it up!
  • Will update the day later as my daughter needs the computer. I'll be playing later as well, probably around 10pm.

    Just make sure she doesn't get a virus on it, costing you, and your investors $$$... lol
  • I played so much poker today, more than I have in a long while. Had my longest stretch without cashing at 7 games. Tried to play the deep stack at 1pm, played horribly, so much so that I am going to concentrate on the $11, 45man SNGs only. The MTTs take too long for so little reward (at this point). Maybe Wetts can give me some tips for online when we hook up at Fallsview.

  • I should be in bed, resting for tommorrow. But I am trying to make Iron Man this month as well and I won't be able to play the next three days as I am in Niagara. I have been distracted all day, thinking about Niagara that I played horrible and had my first losing day. Sorry guys, I will come back from Niagara richer and better focused.
