one time.

So each month I schedule in the Mansion $1000 6max tourney, but I keep missing it. Today was the first time I managed to play.

I think most tourneys are pretty stupid, but as far as tourneys go, this one is pretty ok. It’s 6max for starters, everyone starts with 400bb (it’s amazing how bad people play deep), and the blinds are really slow, going up in small increments in 30min levels. The absolute best thing about this tourney is that each of the Day 1’s plays for a maximum of 5 hours.

For one of the largest buyin tourneys online, I was pretty surprised at how soft the field was. I went through a few tables, and only ran across the occasional player who seemed comfortable on a 6max table. I had expected to face a lot of laggy 6max players, but this simply wasn’t the case. Actually, everyone I played today (with a few exceptions) was pretty nitty and weak.

I ran pretty good to finish Day 1a as one of the chip leaders with about 80k in chips. With 550 or so starters, I’m 5th out of about 150 left I think, so sitting well for a good crack at Day 2 on Sunday.

My equity in this tourney now is probably in the 10-15k range, so Sunday will be a pretty big day for me if I can run good and get deep it should be pretty fun.

Speaking of tourneys, Pacific is running a pretty hot tourney which I’m a lock to do well in (I run like god on Pacific).

It’s a 1k buyin, 3 million guar event on April 26. The final table moves from online to live, with the players flown to a resort in Spain to play the final table.

There is probably going to be pretty big overlay on this tourney, and you can satellite your way in with commission-free satellites. Until Feb 26, you will get 50% cash back on all satellites you play, making the satellites ridiculous value.

To get 50% cashback, you need to register your existing Pacific account at this link: https://www.888.com/wpc/2008/en/special.htm

You can get the Pacific Loyalty bonus (similar to rakeback) at rakebackSTAT.com. If you already have an existing Pacific account, there’s a pretty good chance you can have it moved so you can get the monthly Loyalty Bonus. I’ll just need your username and email to check with Pacific to move accounts. Email those details to jonny@rakebackSTAT.com and I’ll follow up on that for you.
