doesn't matter seeing as we're all too pathetic to get onto the top 250 leaderboard. If no one gets onto the Leaderbaord the singles comp is void.

As Foutight says in the OP, we should be ashamed of ourselves collectively if that doesn't change by Monday

the stars leaderboard is currently bloated by the 25-100 pt scores you get for final tabling. sheer volume with a ton of 10-20 pt scores will make up for that in the long run. goral won the last MM leaderboard with 0 scores over 20 pts.

say you average 20% ITM over 70 events averaging 15 pts per cash. thats 210 pts. prolly good enough to make the leaderboard by the end with nothing other than average results and a ton of volume.

Dam it wish I'd had the money to do this again cos my score would already be infinitely better than last time! Good luck everyone especially my fellow kiwi!

My day started like that yesterday before I had a few hours and gave a MM event a go, then all my hands held, funny what you can achieve when that happens!

PS hope your mums is ok mate

You wouldn't believe it, this past week or so was terrible, told it was a brain tumour, spent everyday at hospital, googled too much shit on brain tumours, had hoards of visitors come through and cried buckets - then on wednesday after the second MRI scan - Miracle - fluid on the brain and you can take your mum home tomorrow - wtf...... bloody good news though, even though it all fkd my head up, couldn't be bothered haven't an argument with the bloody doctors, just soooooo happy about me mum :-)

So hopefully in a better head space to make a long run in one of this shit storms of a tourney called MM, god know our team needs some points...........

great news Norv!!!!!

Got back in town late last night... is it normal for me to want to ignore all my friends that want to hang cause I want to grind MM after finishing 87th in the wsop main?

Congrats on an awesome main event, FouTight!

thnx e1 and FOU ur a legend, CONGRATULATIONS, top 100 is epic, and gives you plenty of buyins for the next few years when you will do even better - i send good kiwi vibes over the airwaves to you

secondly i think grindin the MM is understandable, even if you had finished top 20, the MM is epic and I can't wait for someone who is in the competition to actually win one of them - will be way cool -- so lets try fkn hard on sunday (monday for me) and take the bloody ME down!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lets go, grinding it out the hard style! going for 21 hours poker yesterday ->6 hours sleep -> 35 hours poker starting now

well played buddy...u are the deserving winner of singles comp....

Out of the Main after less than an hour, KK vs AA for 3/4 of my stack vs the agro dude and AK vs T8 for the remaining 40BB, it is amazing how ppl call for half of their stack w so weak holding...

Only McAndrew is left gambling for our team so unless he ship the main we are dead..

It was an exhausting week mentally, low stakes MTT is not the best things for the mind (obv other stuffs are way more rewarding for me in term of $$ and mental condition) but I enjoyed some part of the experience a lot and specially the fact of meeting great persons !!!

A special thanks for :
- the Fou for organizing the comp (even with the WSOP main on your schedule)
- the Wacky for the back office work (my friend ur always here, so nice and positive !!)
and of course my teammate for the comp :-) !!

GL all P5ers, see you around there one of these days !!!!

You just have to continue to tell yourself that it is microstakes and it's a crapshoot, irrespective of the prize on offer

sorry to my team for such a crap showing but i still have these 3 events :-)

i need another mincash out of last 2 events since it should be enough to hit stars top100 leaderboard. GL to everyone still playing in ME!!

busted main KK<ak all in pre and this hand finishes off my series. Ran absolutely terrible the whole way through. Oh well :(
