DoubleG6's Journal

The Legends of Poker tournaments began yesterday at the Bicycle Casino in Los Angeles and I view this as another great opportunity to advance in my poker hobby.

I've been able to fatten up my bankroll with a small tourney win at a local casino recently and am very excited about being able to play more tournaments and satellites than what my previous bankroll permitted me to do. I've been doing pretty good online as well and consider all those sit and go's as much needed practice. I'm hoping that I have the same success I had at the Cal State Poker Championship satellites about 2 years ago. I was able to play 8-$40 satellites. Of those 8, I won 4 and chopped 2 times.

I'm planning to play a few $515 satellites on Saturday and with a little success, I should be able to play a few more. I have little success playing rebuy tourneys so I am sitting out Saturday's main event. However, Sunday's is a $300 + $40 no rebuy event and I'm definitely joining that party. I have to be back to my job Monday night so Sunday is my only shot at big money this week. I'm looking to get some time off or trade a few shifts so I can play more during the week. Weekend tourneys in LA are averaging huge fields of 500+ entries. The structure is pretty fast as well so I'm hoping to get some chips early. I'll update my results on Tuesday morning. Till then.
