    After reading pocketfives for 4 months I finally decided to give MTTs a serious shot. I deposited $100 into bodog and will be playing solely $5, <$5 qualifiers, and maybe $10 tournies. I've been playing on and off for a year online and am up around $500 overall. I plan on posting my results on this thread, hopefully all goes well. Wish me luck!

    I've also started playing STTs inbetween MTTs to stabalize my bankroll.

    $1 Cheap Seat - 29th/87 -1.00 Guy calls my all-in with Q3o for half of his stack?

    $5 2k Guaran - 59th/286 -6.25 Decently card dead

    $7 3k Guaran - 119/372 -13.5 Card dead through 1st break. Sloppy play with KJ

    $5 rebuy - 21st/45 -20.00 I suck

    $5 - 6th/189 +21.75 Worst play of my life. Tried bluffing with 52o

    $5 2k Guaran - 189th/340 +16.5 AA busted by 55. Almost ironic.

    $1 Cheap Seat 48th/97 +15.5

    8/10/2005
    $5 R/A 20th/51 +10.00 100/200 2600 chips. Got impatient called an all-in with AJ

    Cashed 1/9 tournaments for 11%. I'm glad it's a small sample size because now I can attribute
    my consistent losses on something other than humble self ;-) . Hopefully I can turn this around.

    Lombardo... You can really do well in the satellites to the 100k guranteed. From the $1 cheap seats, I now have 450 tourn credits. They are pretty easy, as long as you sit tight and wait til you ahve the nuts. You'll find you're called down with anything.

    GL to you. If you need anything feel free to contact me.

    Can you use these to buy into the 100k or just the 100k semi finals?

    Well the cheapseat qualifiers give you $24 that you can use for the $10 100k qualifiers. Sort of a two step process, but for $1 it's hard to beat.
