Yeah, Yur Probubly Right.

Thanks Homestarrunner for the intro. Anywho, not to much on the old poker front. But it has been a while and thought it was time for a new post. Haven't really played much recently, had things to do and such. However, I have been gearing up mentally for the California State Poker Championship at the Commerce Casino in September. Should be a big one and I'm ready to take it down. I'm probably going to spend most of September playing SnG satellites at the Commerce unless I qualify quickly (which I plan on doing). Ideally, I would spend an entire day playing satellites and accumulate as many tournament chips as possible, even above and beyond the necessary amount for the main event. That way I could a) use those for smaller tournaments and get back into the MTT mindset and/or b) sell the extra chips and keep the cash. Last year before the LA Poker Classic (any of the events) people would play nonstop satellites and then sell the tourny chips for a "discount". For example, this time they have a $40 table, winner gets 300T and $30 cash. With the side action, there is always side action like who can last the longest (explain in a moment), you can really come out way ahead by selling the chips. So for 300T, which have no "real" value and cannot be cashed in at the Casino (for tournament use only) people sell them any where between $80-100 for each 100T. Usually you can only get $100 day of said tournament (maybe).

So back to the last long thing. Not everyone participates, which is actually good. What happens is someone says "Last long?" and of the 10 people maybe 6 will say yes. Those 6 people put in $20 and the guy that said last long keeps track of the money and the people in the contest. Then the person that lasts the longest out of those 6 people gets the side money or $120. So if you don't "win" the table you still can come out ahead. If you do win the table you really come out ahead. Well that's about it. Thanks for your support in advance, it felt good during the "Mini Series" to know people had my back. Hopefully I can grace the pages of Cardplayer again. Until next time.....
