Each year I enjoy sitting on my fat arse at home and watching young people sliding around in the Glastonbury mud while I channel hop from stage to stage, knock back beers and enjoy only having to walk twenty steps to a toilet.
This year, finding myself off work on Thursday and Friday, and with the weekend kind of ooooh how shall I put this, free as well, I thought I’d turn my annual Glasto watching into a bit of fun. How about an MTT spin-up while I’m watching?
Okay, that’s enough intro, because let’s face it, everyone – especially on pocketfives – is doing some kind of bloody “zero dollars to ten thousand dollars” challenge right now, so let’s get started. Suffice to say, yesterday (Thurs) afternoon I stashed a notional $50 into my imaginary marijuana-motif wallet and said let’s see if I can turn this up into a grand before the end of play Sunday. I was expecting to lose the lot in the name of entertainment or else turn some kind of pisspoor $40 profit; I wasn’t expecting to have completed the challenge in 12 hours.
This might not display too well, Photoshop kept crashing, but I did it, damnit.
I came 260/3960 in the $5/20k GTD for $18, 101/2250 in the $5 rebuy for $59.81, and then at 4.45am (erk) 5/1818 in the $5/20k GTD 1R1A for $1,222. I was looking forward to stringing out the challenge, too – will I/won’t I make it, that kind of thing… Guess I’ll just start it again. Right, $50 to $1k, starting 5pm Friday. And I must get round to watching some Glastonbury and having a slash in my own toilet.
