    Finished 3rd in SCOOP event 29L (8-game mix), but made deal with 3 left as chip leader for a little over 11K. Very nice feeling to finally win a big one!

    Pretty grueling tourney with 3100+ runners, 6 handed, and game changing every 8 minutes.

    Too tired to celebrate, but I did crack open a bottle of Michelob Ultra. That's how I roll!

    Sickest part is that I hadn't played on stars in a while, and noticed I had $4.30 left in my account 2 weeks ago. Grinded it up to over $500 playing small sngs, then won this thing tonight. Pretty crazy!

    dude, hell yea! Congratulations! All the hard work paid off. Quick question, how do you go about grinding $4 into $500 playing small SNGs? MTT-SNGs or one table? And how many? Did you mass multitable? Keep up the good work. And crack open a Newcastle next time...

    In the beginning, I was playing the single table $1 NL sngs, 1 to 2 at a time. Then, I read an article on the Boku challenge, and tried 10 tabling (1/3 the Boku rate) those for a day. I made a pretty good return, but it was really mind numbing. After I built up to $100 or so, I started playing the $3.20 HU Omaha hi/lo sngs, and then the 6.25's. At that level, the players are pretty weak, so I was able to build up quickly. The 4 player HU shootouts were also really profitable. I have always had a problem with playing within my bankroll, so I thought this would be a good challenge to grind it out and see if I could build it up.

    Tonight, I wanted to crack open some bubbly or down a few stiff Jack and Cokes. But, of course, me and the lady already polished off the Korbel, and I shamefully failed to replenish my Costco sized Jack Daniels. So, Michelob Ultra for the win!

    Totally. It definitely makes you stay focused. It's too bad they don't have that many 8-game mix and HORSE tourneys. Would be nice for them to gain a little more popularity.
