BBT 3 Strategy Guide

Step 1. Do not go broke. BBT 1, I grabbed the lead at some point in May, I was also losing money for the series when I took the lead. The $1k+ in buyins could have been easily had if only Full Tilt's Tournament Dollars were introduced before FTOPS Event #3 or FTOPS # 10. WTF was I doing playing $535 HORSE or $1060 6-Max NLHE. I have been +EV in the $55 sats into the Sunday Guarantee and may not have cashed in Sunday Guarantee for a year. Clearly move here is to accumulate the $T for BBT 3.

Step 2. Win once to get into TOC. Odds of me playing in ME are low, odds of me playing in Preliminary Event are high. The last time I won a Main Event Seat the wife and I scrutinized the terms and conditions for a couple of hours before we agreed there was no way to extract the cash. I might be able to get the time off work for ME, but haven't been at job 2 years yet and have already taken 3 weeks off for poker tournaments.

Step 3. To quote MiamiDon: "I've decided that I will in no way, shape, or form, kill myself to play all the events. Good luck to those of you who do and good luck to those already with shaky marriages and relationships since this might be the end for you."

My wife and I have had a good run, my daughter doesn't like me anyway. I will have to try to keep marriage together just to give me a chance to win $10 from Waffles. Logically I should not play every event, realistically I played every event of BBT 1 and would be surprised if I missed any in BBT 2. I suck at the stud variants so I should not play them, but probably will.


Step 4. I am going to have to play better, I got to 3rd in Riverchasers but was ridiculously short when we got to 3 handed. I was top 10 chip stack quickly but lost a few chips when Chad floated me. Fucker got me to lay down 99 on a jack high flop, maybe if in pot with Chad it will be WWSD mindset as Swimmom seems to own Chad.
