My house move is over as is all of the upset and I am well glad about that. I am also getting prepared for a real monster month in September of multi-tabling NL100. My goal is to play more hours than I have ever played before in a month and see what happens. I will try and play up to 10 tables at NL100 full-ring and the rake deal that I have should see me do very well. I want to play poker this way now.
I was seriously tempted last year to do a few things and one of them was to seek a backer so that I could play Tom Dwan for 500k after he played Sammy George. I don’t think though that there are many sites who would have stumped up the full 500k and I certainly would not have put up 500k to speculate with that I could have beat him.
Even over a 500 hand sample size then I would have been even money at best but I don’t much fancy sitting down in poker games in what are clearly –EV situations at the table unless I can see some huge value in other areas like sponsorship for instance. But I never saw much potential there if I were to have got hammered by him (distinct possibility) in what would have been available.
I reckon that I would have stumped up $50-$100k but that would have been it as far as I was concerned. I could well imagine that it would be one of those “fifteen minutes of fame” type things. So what has been happening in the challenge on www.888poker.com?
Well the bankroll is now at $1344 and climbing and I am going to continue playing some NL50 next month around the NL100 play. Then hopefully when the bankroll reaches $2000 then I will merge the two with my NL100 play and hopefully crack the $10k barrier very quickly.
I cannot believe just how quickly things have turned around in the challenge but also keep a keen eye next month on just how much money I can make multi-tabling NL100….maybe NL50 and so will just have to wait and see as I may do some more testing with The Vulture so should be a great month.
