Didn't last long my kk ran into AA early on virtually wiped me out. AQ a few hands later finished me off when it lost to a pair o 5's.
Not to sure what to make of the payout. Was expecting around a 10k 1st prize, only pays 5k.
Still all the final get 1k+ and top 100 get $100+. The top 300 payout which seems a little excessive so i'm undecided as yet.

Oh my Oh my
Blogger tour finally got under way last night. After a few weeks anticipation we finally managed to get started. A few decent hole cards that missed the flop by a few hundred miles saw my stack slowly dwindling down to less than half the initial 2000 starting chips. Finally a couple connect and I manage to claw my back what i had lost. In this time watching a donkey stealing most pots, just can't catch right to take advantage. But then.........

A hard days work
What a horrid day Sunday was just about everything I played conspired against me. I tried various tournys during the day but to no avail. Starting with the $10 mtt at 3am no cards of note so a very very tight game kept me in the hunt for either the $10 or 1 of the $60 coupons. But alas right at the end on the bubble, dealt KQoff Q rags flop I re-raised allin only to see AQ against me..... Is this the start
The 200teed, 300teed and the 1kteed just not getting a chance this dosen't bode well for tonites 2 10k's.
I decided to leave well alone till the 10k freeroll. Once this started I found that I was starting to catch, things are changing lol. Was doing great till the break after which the hands just dried up a mix of chasing and bad luck sees me out around 220th doh 150 to money. Meanwhile the 10kteed has started and in a similar vain it starts of very well. I manage to get up around 10k in chips then the hands start to dry up. As there are only 28 players left in I tighten right up after all that has gone before today. Determined to at least get into the money. Although I have no hands of note and the blinds are starting to bite my stack is high enough to money. Now to try n improve. With antes and blinds now eating into my stack I make a call at the wrong time dropping down to 17th and last 5k left the blinds 600/1200 with 100 antes means I wont last long. Having to wait for the right moment to try now and double up. But alas nothing comes. I know have just 400 chips still 17th and resigned to getting $100. I push all in on the next hand 10J. I hit a st8 getting 4x my stake. Then another allin push and another brings me back to 10k. A few hands later a pp loses a big chunk of my stack again, but I have at least made it to 11th. I have A8 off and push allin it is stacked round to the same guy who has taken my chips all night. After a long pause he calls 45 suited. On the other table a player exits. I'm now 10th. We all join together at the final table. Flop turn and river he catches a 5 and so as soon as I join the final table I'm out. Still I made it to 10th and $175. Much more than I expected when I was 17th and holding 400 chips.
What a hard game. Alittle over 500 points now needed for next Sundays 50k freeroll. Hope I get the chance to do well in that

Points?
I have managed to amass enough points for a bash at my first 10k freeroll on Sunday. Along the way winning a $60 coupon to enable me to enter he $10k guaranteed also on sunday. This could be a nice day, or not depending on how the cards fall lol
It also puts me well on the way to the end of month $50k tourny, I only need another 1300pts 500 of which ill get when i play the $10k guaranteed so looking good for the big one.
Heres hoping to money on Sunday....

New points
The new freerolls and their point requirements have once again lured me back to the tables. The enticement of the $50,000 tourny each month is just too great.
So far I have been having mixed results, up a little then down a little. Slowly losing a little each day or so. Just can't seem to make a profit often enough. Perhaps its because I'm point orientated at the moment?
I have stumbled upon another way to gain the points.......
The Aussie Mils Sats. Their are currently $2 sats short handed, 5 players, winner takes all a $11 coupon. These tables give 30 points. After winning this you have a coupon to enter the $10 short handed sat, again 5 players, winner takes all a $60 coupon. This pays out 150 points. This coupon can then be used for any sat, mtt ect. So you can either go for the Aussie final coupon, or use it for entry to Sundays $10k guaranteed. The Aussie sat is a 10 player SnG that pay's a $275 grand final coupon and 750 points. The $10k is a Mtt with a $10,000 prize pool guaranteed that gives 500 points. So for a few $2 games potentially theres a lot of points to be made.

A cap
Oh well holidays all over now. Time to get back to the grind.
Interesting to see that there's a lot of changes to the site . A new lot of freerolls and some altered while others lost....
But the main prize is what seems a monthly 50,000 dollar freeroll with I have to say a very lenient comp point entry.
Oh and I ordered a Cap to go with the blogger goodies i recieved. That has arrived, and so I have been wearing that all day since. Even at work, lol, lots of advertising for poker.com on the buses to and from birmingham this week
