FTOPS etc.
Saturday, August 08, 2009 09:25The games have begun. It is Saturday morning and I am sitting with a massive smile on my facing looking over today's schedule. Based on the last few days I estimate volume is up about 40% as a result of FTOPS as well as great deposit bonuses on Stars and FTOPS. Today we have a 535 PLO KO 6 max as well as a 109r with a 500k guarantee.
I was fortunate enough to have a great run the last 10 days taking second in the Stars Quarter Million and winning both the Sunday 500 and a UB 20k deepstack. The combination put me up about 130k, more than enough to free roll both FTOPS and WCOOP. Its difficult to overstate how nice it is to walk away with a large score right before a big series. Really takes the pressure off the higher buy-in events and allows me to play my best game. As a side note, I need a win on either Bodog or FTP before Sunday evening to complete my first triple crown.
Obviously planning to ship something big this weekend. I am currently 4th in Cardplayer OPY standings and any major victory should give me enough point to overtake Gboro for the lead. Should be a fun last quarter of the year! Stay tuned...
