Samba_SamPa Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 Re: Samba's €0 to..... Challenge Used 330 of my redbacks to register for a $1.5k Gtd on 32Red at 9.30 :hope Good news and bad news :lol 543 started this tourney last night, top 54 paid, and I made it into the cash :cow HOWEVER... lol... I lost my internet connection shortly after midnight when I was lying 18th of the 28 remaining :wall It still wasn't back this morning when I tried, so I can't actually see where I finished just yet :lol Gutted as well, as I was playing really well I felt, had had the chip lead with 60 left, before my AA lost to 88 on the bubble, dropping me down again to 35th on 18k chips, had worked my way back to 29.5k with the blind at 750/1500 a.100 when my connection went, so I still had a bit of play left in me too :sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samba_SamPa Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 Re: Samba's €0 to..... Challenge Back online :cow Still not sure WHERE I finished, but I know HOW MUCH I won.... :lol A whopping $17.91!! I have emailed 32Red asking for details, for my records. I am obviously happy at adding $17.91 to my bankroll, more than quadrupling it, I just have a sense of :sad as the 1st prize was over $400 and I felt I was playing well and had a chance. Next time though, onwards and upwards :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samba_SamPa Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 Re: Samba's €0 to.....

Fonzie14 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Re: Samba's €0 to..... Challenge Nice one Pete. :clap Have you thought about what your final target is? :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samba_SamPa Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 Re: Samba's €0 to..... Challenge There is no final target I guess. Just to see how far I can get starting from scratch. I don't plan on making any more deposits or withdrawals in 2009, so I guess my 'target' is a time, rather than a monetary, one. See what my poker bankroll is at the end of 2009. I hope to get my roll up to the extent that I can enter satellites (within my bankroll management rules) for live tourneys, GC, GUK etc... even WSOP. Anything I make from now will have come from starting with nothing, so just seeing how far I can go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samba_SamPa Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 Re: Samba's €0 to..... Challenge Playing tonight's FPP freeroll (or not free as GaF has shown in his Chat thread :@ ). Is Omaha Hi/Lo, $100 prize pool, and I was 51st reg'd - so SURELY must go ahead tonight!!! 7.15pm kick off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samba_SamPa Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 Re: Samba's €0 to..... Challenge No joy tonight ~20th on PokerKings and ~60th on 32Red I am adding another challenge to this one also, not a poker challenge - more a lifestyle challenge. I need to exercise more, eat better, and lose weight. Got weighed on Thursday, and it's depressing reading :sad so I am going to do something about it :hope Will weigh myself every Thursday. Ground Zero results are: Weight - 15st 3lbs BMI - Body Fat - Will add BMI and Body Fat when I find my 'receipt' from the machine. My immediate target is to lose weight consistently, but the ultimate goal for me for this is to get down to 12st :hope Also I keep reading about a fit and healthy lifestyle adds a sharpness to your play at the tables, so it is kinda linked, and hopefully I will reap the benefits in all aspects of life :hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
