WSOP Quest Part 3

Anyway I picked myself up; re did my plan and started again.  I had already looked at the Cryptologic route of qualifying as it seems a good option.  $6 6 player wit and go tourney would take you into a $25 buy in every night at 9pm.  This, in turn, put you into a $150 buy in (about 4 times a week), which led into a $1k buy in on Sundays at 6pm.  Good times for qualifiers as its mainly European players on Crypo, none of this getting up at 4am to play.  Every stage was good odds, 1 in 6 for the $6, 1 in 6 for the $25, 1 in 8 for the $150 and 1 in 15 for the final.  Not bad.  I played a few $6’s and got into the $25 a couple of times.  Also bought into the $25 directly a couple of times.  Qualified for the $150 twice I think and bought in directly once after I sold some of the w$ I had on stars.  Making progress but not too close.

 

Then last Sunday (14^th May) I bought into the $25 and got through. I have to admit I had some luck, all in on a flush draw on one occasions and made it, getting short and was put all in when I was on the big blind when I had picked up pocket aces (they held up).  All of a sudden it was over (was playing another table at the time and missed the end!) and I was in Wednesday’s $150.

 

Wednesday came and Chris sat with me while I played it.  Managed to cling on and make my way through the field, again having some luck when I needed it to finally survive and qualify to Sunday’s final.  After it I registered to start this blog J
