March 25, 2009 was a glorious day for me because I did win a $12k prize package that pays for my $10k buy-in to the WSOP Main Event plus $2k in extra cash for spending. If you've been keeping up on my play, you would know that I've worked really hard to achieve this goal. It was definately a lot of trial and error but all worth it in the end. We'll see what the WSOP has in store for me this year, I plan to play a lot more events this year than I did last year. I quickly skimmed over the WSOP schedule and looks like there's about 20 NLHE events including the Main Event that I would like to play, my biggest concern is that it'll run me a little over $50k to buy-in to all those events. As of right now, I've won $18k in prizes, so I've got quite a ways to go before end of May.
It's a little ironic that the first day I actually take a few hours of my day off from playing poker and only playing 7 tournaments as opposed to the usual 20-30 a day, I actually output better results in those few tournaments than I have the past month. Raises a lot of questions and concerns about my general way of approaching the daily grind. I'll probably have to reassess the amount of tournaments I play a day and for how long, it could be the reason for my recent losses.
I did make it deep in the $100k rebuy on Wed. and could've made it to the final table but ran into a hand that's very very questionable, even I don't know if I made the right play or not. I will post the hand below and would appreciate any feedback or opinions on how they would've played it differently. Just keep in mind there's 20 players left, it's a 6-max tournament, prior to the hand I was sitting in 8th in chips, and if I take that pot down I would be sitting pretty with a top 3 stack and a good chance to making a top 5 finish. Here is the hand:

Wow man thats a toughy... the straight flush draw looks pretty with mad outs, but really scary to push and pray without a made hand ya know. I'm sure theres more info to how the players were playing and their hand ranges and what not, and the win woulda given you top 3 in stacks, but it was a gamble nonetheless. And you know what they say about pushing with just a draw... *shrugs... Regardless, CONGRATS ON THE WSOP 2009 MAIN EVENT PRIZE PACKAGE!!!! Definitely well deserved.
