I've had a pretty interesting week playing poker. One evening this week jumped on ACR and played in one of those silly All in or Fold preflop freerolls to earn a free ticket into another satellite. My personal view on these all in or fold preflop crap shoots is they are pretty much bingo especially when the blinds double every 3 minutes, so it nearly entirely luck - with no skill required.
But - when the event is "free" it really doesn't matter the type of event or structure, its free and if I have a space available on my monitor to play while I'm playing other 'real' tourneys - why not register for it.
So I did - and I ended up with luck on my side to earn a $22.00 ticket.
The next event was for something like a 215.00 ticket. ACR auto pre-registers you for the next satellite when you win one through a freeroll so I went to the next satellite lobby and noticed everyone was un-registering from that satellite. Before 2 minutes had past I was one of only 2 other players who was registered. Suffice to say the next satellite did not run because it did not have enough participants to start.
So I looked around to see what else I could use the 22.00 ticket on.
There was a Day 1 running for a 100k gtd. It was early - only like 2 levels in. So I decided to jump into it. How this multi-day event plays out is it is 15 minute levels to level 16, then 12 minute levels up to level 18. The tourney ends at the end of level 18. Those remaining qualify for day 2. This type of event is a pretty long event - but I was playing several other long events at that time - so I figured it fit well into my daily schedule.
I ended up finishing in the top 10 of that "flight" and qualified for Day 2 which will be kicking off this evening at 5:30 pm EST.
3384 total runners and currently there are only 380 remaining. I'm sitting in 101st with a respectable 45bb stack.
I'm going to channel all my run good I have been saving - to see if I can make a deep run in this sucker!!
If anyone is bored or on ACR this evening - don't be shy - come rail me!! The event is called the Double Deuce 100k Day 2 on the medium tab.
