Micro Satellites

My roommate recently deposited $25 on Poker Stars and started the process of trying to build a bankroll. He does well in the 45-man SNG's so I told him to grind the $1.10 45-man turbos on Stars. That's been going well for him but we also just found a nice little bankroll builder for micro stakes. The $2.20 satellites to the Sunday Hundred Grand.

They pay out 1 seat for every 5.5 people in the prize pool. That's 18.18% of the field. If you win the seat 1 out of every 5 times you will break even +FPP's. If you win the seat 2 out of every 5 times you will have 100% ROI +FPP's. Currently my roommate and I are both running right around that 40% mark. That means our EV for these is $2.20 for every 1 played. Play 100 of them in a month, that's $220! Not bad for micro land.

My roommate has turned his $25 roll into $100 in just over 2 weeks playing almost nothing but these and the 45-man turbos.

PM me at www.pocketfives.com if you would like some strategy advice on how to play these. My screenname there is SICKTIGHT311.

And remember, only YOU can prevent forest fires!

Up to #4 in the Long Beach rankings!!!!!!!!!!

I've been doing decent lately at MTT's. I'm starting to get really comfortable 4-tabling and I feel like I know what to do in almost any situation. Shoutout to everyone at www.pocketfives.com for all the help over the last year and a half. It's only gonna get better but I'm gonna have my work cut out if I want to get to #1.

I won my first $4.40 180-man last night!!!

I've probably only played about 50 of them but I always run like shit and got to hating them. I know a lot of people that crush them and I know they are full of dead money but I just kind of avoided them. Well last night I_BLADE_U and JRoth15 were talking about playing one as we were railing an OT tourney. I said "f it" and signed up. Got off to a bad start and lost half my stack on the 4th hand. I was shortstacked the whole first 2 hours of the thing and was the shortstack when we were down to 8. Long story short, I took it down. I really think it was one of, if not the, best tourney I've played start to finish. I had a buddy upload it to PokerXFactor.

Check it out if you like. I think I played pretty damn solid. Might be good for some people who don't play many of them.
