So ever since coming in second in that nice big poker tourney a few weeks ago, I've had the itch to play in even BIGGER events! If I can spend $33 bucks and walk away with over $1,800 like I did before, then the cash has got to be good if I get myself in a bigger event.
Well, the biggest event that my poker site (Ultimate Bet) hosts is their Sunday Night $125,000 Guaranteed Prize Pool Tourney.
First place does not get all that cash, but a sizeable sum. The last event I played had a prize pool of $12,000 and for second I got the $1800. With this big tourney tomorrow night first place usually goes for around $35,000!
Well, how much must it cost to get into this huge event!? A tidy $215. I'm not willing to spend this much of my bankroll on one event. So what's the next best thing to do? Play in smaller tourneys that specifically are put in place to allow the winners a direct entry into this big event games! And if you hadn't guessed it by now, I just won one! I beat out 50 some odd other players and am entered in to play tomorrow night!
I'm not expecting anything huge out of this, and I plan on playing the best poker of my life tomorrow and hopefully won't make any stupid plays. I've been buckling down lately with my play and it's paid off.
So I hope to turn the $11 I spent today on the smaller tourney, to get me a nice return on investment.
You can watch my live play by downloading the free software on Ultimatebet.com. I'll be playing in the Real Money, Scheduled Tourney, ALL tab, Sunday March 12th 9:00PM EST, $125,000 Guaranteed Tourney. My poker ID is "Drifting", surprise surprise. You can ask me further via email/msn for details.
Another cool factor about the tourney is the chance to play with actual pros. The poker site I play on has endorsement deals with certain pro players and part of their contract is to play games on the site. So I might get the chance to play up against Phil Hellmuth or Annie Duke tomorrow!
So yeah.. wish me luck! (Now that I've hyped it up so much things could go very sour, but I'm happy with just being entered in it for now.)
Check back late late tomorrow or early early Monday for a report on how things went.

Matt did well in tourny that gave him placement. I personally thought it was a rip off, because the last three get to go to the big tourny on sunday, and Matt had more than doubled the chips of second place guy.
Good Luck Matt!!
