Also played the Poker Stars $650 World Series of Poker satellite. The tournament had over 1000 players and was set to pay out 57 or 58 $12,000 Packages. Sadly, I managed to draw an incredibly tough table with 7 of 9 players having close to $100,000 Profit according to Official Poker Rankings.

This was a frustrating tournament as I was dealt an insane rush of starting hands and either won blinds or lost. I doubled up with KK vs QQ in the first level, and then proceeded to lose 3/4 of my stack the very next hand with AA vs KK. I think in the first 2 hours I picked up AA & KK 4 times each and never managed to accumulate chips. I finally busted with about 500 players remaining after raising with Ace King Suited and getting it all in on the turn on an Ace X X X board vs an opponent who was slow playing pocket aces. When I busted there was still 6 of the original 9 players at our table. Hopefully I can run better next time I play this tournament.

Plans for this week:

Grind out a ton of 180 player Sit & Goes and World Series of Poker Qualifiers including the Poker Stars Step Tournaments after work each night. I’m planning on playing in the Sunday $650 Qualifier again.

I’m playing in a live World Series of Poker qualifier saturday which should be fairly soft. It is a $100 buyin with 1 Rebuy & 1 Add On and will pay out 1 “package” for every $2300 in the prize pool to pay for people’s flight & accomodations to Las Vegas and entrance in a $1500 event.
