Day three of my poker week and things keep getting better and better. Yesterday I was intending to focus on MTTs but a friend called saying he was ditching work and was on his way round to play Pro Evo, so I ended up doing what I do best, playing PLO cash games.
The FTOPS are coming to a conclusion this week with the Main Event on Sunday, at $600+$40 No Limit Hold'em event with a $3,000,000 guarantee and I knew I wanted to play it. However, it's well outside of my bankroll so I made a deal with myself. If I could spin up the final $100 I had left in my Full Tilt account then I would play it.
So according to PokerTracker 3 after 1.23 hours of play I managed to turn my $100 into $2,658.37. Nice! Plus a few hundred that I won on PokerStars that day meant that yesterday I made over $2,800 in profit and bought myself one hell of a Sunday.
My plans are to play the Sunday Warm-up, the Sunday Millions, the Full Tilt $750K GTD and the FTOPS ME which is about $1,300 worth of tournament entries but over $6,000,000 prizepool up for grabs, then a good performance in just one of these tournaments could fast track my plans big time. I'm really looking forward to it, lets home the tournaments don't go like the last two times I've played the Warm-up since my $975 cash.
Both of them I busted within the first two hours of play!
The best thing about what's been going on is just how happy I am. I know this can't last forever, and there will be down days when I lose significant amounts of money. However right now I'm living the dream! I woke up at 11am instead of 6.30am, I had a shower, watched a movie on Sky Premiere, had some breakfast. Then after that at 1pm I went online, I played for about 1 hour and 15 minutes on PLO cash games and made $2,500 as well as a $10 tournament which I busted in 97th for just $21.68. I played in total for about four hours, then my friend come round and I played computer games with him before heading out.
That's the life! Easy, relaxed, stress-free, good money and working as and when I please. This week has made me realise one thing, I can not wait until I do this for a living. My aim is to get the bankroll to multitable at $5/$10, once I can do that I could potentially be making in the region of $300,000 a year which is fairly achieveable if I put the hours in and doing something that I really love.
That's the dream and soon I'll be living it.
