IronMan, Day2
Posted 01-04-2008 at 04:25 AM by Adaon
Today marked my second day trying to put up the points for full tilt's ironman challenge. Let me say first of all, this is NOT as easy as I thought it would be, and I probably thought it was harder then you do. To put that more simply, this is going to be difficult to pull out.
Let me address the comments I got last time (and I will do so for anyone else that wants to ask me something). DJ asked why don't I try something a little higher then the 50 point level. It's a fair question, 160 hands per day is not that hard to do. Well I have to answer with 3 points, 1)I will try to get 100 per day for as long as it last, but the goal remains 50 a day. 2)I will be starting a new job next week, so my time to play poker will go down making it harder to earn the points. 3)Tournament buy ins earn points that aren't reflected in my hands played #, so while 160 hands might only be 2 hours, with 2 tournaments added, I might have 4-5 hours invested in play.
IkasuG, yes it's easy for cash games to get boring, this is part of the reason I multi table to keep up the action, and I usually chat with some friends while playing to help keep my interest at the computer.
Now on to today's play. As you may have seen in the shoutbox, I played an Omaha hi/lo tournament and finished 7th. This was over 4 hours, and I was playing a cash game for most of that time as well. This is a model I like to follow, play 1-2 cash games, and a MTT tournament. It took significantly more hands today to reach my goal. Yesterday's action was fast and loose, meaning bigger pots, bigger rakes, and thus more points. The tighter action today meant I needed to play more hands for the same result.
The final numbers for day 2 are:
Points earned: 101.75
Hands played: 817
2 tournaments played for $1.5 in entry, 10.5 points.
