MDC Day 35
opening balance - 111,415
Oh my God. the frist day i've had cashing in in all three! what a way to follow up the dreadful day 34! started off with a 25k 9 man and WON that sucker. it was a tremondous win as i really had to settle down and battle and be patient when i fell to 600 chips and 7th of 7. so satisfying to stay patient and get the couple of bozos who made bad calls going flushes and got them. then entered a 10 27 and finished 4th. Only a prize of 27,000 but hey, better then losing and then back to the 25k 9 man and finished 2nd for a prize of 67,500.
WOW! an awesome day. i'm a quarter of the way there!

having lost 115,000 in two days, my spirits are down. they sunk even furthur after my first entry in a 10k 27. playing a little too conservatively i finished one spot OTM with a 6th. can be even more frustrating than an early exit. this put my balance at 66,740. entered another 10k 27 and HOLY COW, right in the nick of time, finished 1st. (my first win in one these? shameful! this MDC has been somewhat of a joke.) a prize of 99,900 was very nice but then i went out and finished 8th in a 25k 9. but back over six digits.

million dollar review of goal and rules
trying to see how fast i can get from 1000 to 1,000,000. can only play 3 sitngos a day. my goal was 60 days. i feel where i'm at now i can do it in 50 or less. frustrating i'm not winning many! could be at 225K by now with a few wins!
can only enter the following:
300 : 9,18,27, and 45
2000: 9,18,27, and 45
10,000 : 18,27 (doesnt offer 9, 45)
25,000 : 9 (all they have)
50,000 : 9,18,27
80,000 : 9,18,27
in other words, none of the new ones that have appeared in recent months. none of the 150k and 200k, not the 15,000 360 man. which if i won would end this thing. and i probably could win one of em if i entered 3 a day for next 30 days. (when do these fill up though?--just checked and only 1 running right now and its down to final table and 2 players! and only 2 hours and 10 minutes!?! what the hell? i've had 27's last longer than that!)
alright, then!

Success!
With my first 1000, I entered three 300+20 27 man tourneys. Finished 14th, 7th , and 1st. 1st paid 2997 plus the 40 left over gives me a balance of 3037.
Be nice to get out of the 300 dollar tourneys. Bunch of lottery players. I swear it will take longer to get from 1000-100,000 then it will to get from 100,000 - 1,000,000.
I may do Day 2 later. 3 sitngo's = a day so what's the calendar really matter.

million dollar challenge pt 1
something new to do.......
will see how many days it takes me to win 1,000,000 play money on pokerstars starting with 1000. will only play sit n gos and will only average 3 a day for the million dollar challenge. (miss a day, can play 6 the next, etc.) first 3 sitngo's of the day will be part of the million dollar challenge. should be fun and i'm predicting 60 days, but that's probably ambitious.
