Not played a live tourney since the £100 monthly game in Dundee, to be honest, this is the only live local tourney I can see myself playing for the foreseeable future. It has a good structure and the buy in generates decent money, the days of me wasting time playing £30 tourneys with fields of 17 are over! Not because I find myself financially free or anything, it's just for time and money invested, I can get better spots online.
I have played a few of the Spring Championship of Online Poker events, or SCOOP as it's known! If you have not been playing any of these, then you have been missing out. Missing out on massive fields, huge prizepools, small buy ins with great structured games. TONS OF DEAD MONEY IN THESE TOURNEYS ALSO.
I have played maybe 4, and have cashed in 3 of them. In one I finished 121st out of 16k+ runners and in one last night, I finished 201st from 10500 runners, cashed for $228, but first was $66k!!
If you have not been lucky enough to go deep in these huge tourneys with massive prizepools, then you are missing out. Last nights tourney cost me $44 to play, 1st was $66k, nothing gives you that feeling of going deep in a tourney, NOTHING. Although I prefer playing cash games, even a winning cash session does not come close to a deep run in a big game.
I've been getting deep, and I feel that I am ready to make a final table in one of these major online tourneys.
The main event final is this Sunday, Full Tilt's mini-FTOPS series is on just now as well. There main event is also this sunday, so I can see a monster online session tomorrow.
I am getting deep, and just need the luckbox switch to stay on a little deeper.
ONE TIME GOD
Good Luck
Barry
