I’ll be devoting much of the next month to preparing myself for the EPT Monte Carlo Main Event. It may be a bit of a late start, but I’ve had a ridiculous amount of responsibility on my plate lately, and have not been able to devote enough time to poker. The progress of my video series has also been halted. I’ll put more time into this project when I have some to spare – much of the work has already been done, so it is definitely on the horizon.
As for my tournament training:
I started a thread on Part Time Poker, a staking/coaching forum, detailing my situation. There are some very good players who frequent those forums, so I expect to find a great coach.
The plan for now is to start a shorter-term BAP* from April 1-21. I have never received a stake through the forum before, though I have staked many others. I think that I’ll be able to establish myself as a reliable investment during those 3 weeks.
After closing the first BAP, I will open another one to sell a portion of my Monte Carlo entry. The buyin for the main event is about 14kUSD, which is more than I would want to risk on a single tournament. I’d like to sell at least 5k, and as much as 7k of my entry, in order to lower my personal risk.
*BAP = Buy A Piece – a type of stake where multiple investors pool money together to fund a player, with a percentage of the winnings to be shared among the investors
I’m not sure of the specifics on the BAP, such as % staker cut, or the exact amount I want to sell – but I will definitely be offering some of my action in this tournament to the public. So if any of you readers are interested in taking a piece of the EPT Main Event, let me know!
As for non-tournament poker, I’ve put in some hours the past few days. The games are still just the same as they were – there is not much more for me to learn from this style. It is still a solid income, but it definitely doesn’t spark much excitement nowadays. MTTs will be a welcome change.
i’m trying to play on PS and FT at the same time while stacking tables into two stacks (1 for PS and 1 for FT). I can stack perfectly fine playing on one site by itself, but when I load up both sites, tables on FT often don’t pop up when they’re supposed to, making it impossible.
This means when a table doesn’t pop up when it should, no other tables pop up until I’ve found that table and taken action.
looking forward to your new videos so i don’t have to go through this alone =(
