Event 43 has my name all over it's ass:


I will also be playing in either Event 44 and/or Event 45, depending on how Event 43 goes (how much sleep I get, etc).

Wish me luck, people. I'd really like some for a change!

expect to be watching you at final table on tv in a couple weeks.

I've heard that the hardest adjustment for internet players is the long blind levels at the B&M events--not saying your one of those people who's never been in a casino before, but it's something to think about. 60 minute blind levels and insanely high blinds/antes at the high end. Good luck!

wow 3 day ones in the ME, thats an outrageous first prize.

[Talking Poker]

I'm 95% sure this won't be televised, but you never know. If the final table ends up being a bunch of big names who were knocked out of the Main Event early, I think they'd be stupid not to film it.

[Talking Poker]

This is my favorite part about playing in events of this size. The thing I hate the most about playing MTTs online is the rapid blind increases. Eventually, it forces me to loosen up and play more than I want to. Luck becomes more of a factor sooner. Slow blind increases benefit better players. By no means am I suggesting that I am a world class player, but in the big live events I've played in in the past, I have LOVED the long levels.

[BrianSwa]

so I know your ultimate goal is to win and take home the braclet but what expectations do you have for yourself other then that? are your main goal to cash or just to have good showing?

[Talking Poker]

My primary goal is to cash in at least one of the events I play in. As soon as I get ITM, my goal will be to make the final table. And as soon as I do that, my goal will be two win the tourney.

I also want to stay patient and not doing anything stupid. When I do get knocked out, I'd like to have the best hand when all the chips go in (or have at least made the correct play).

[kkirk1329]

yea you dont want to be at the point where u push in when you know ur hand is no good. and you wanna take it step by step.

Where would we be without this kid? Ever think of writing a book Kirk?

My goal (other than winning $$$, of course) would be to hit runner-runner quads to knock out Phil Hellmuth after he flopped top full.

[BrianSwa]

sucking out on phil is the best and do me a favor. After you suck out on him say " it was worth the buy in just to suck out on you phil" he loves that.

[Talking Poker]

Ha! I imagine he'll still be in the Main Event when I'm playing in my tourneys (at least the first one), but it really would be a dream come true to knock him out of a tourney. A runner runner suckout would be nice, but I think outplaying him with a straight flush vs. hit A high flush, or flopped quads vs. his full house would be even better.
