Fundage Deficit
I was doing some speculatin' after reading the latest batch of details about the BBTree. In particular, I was pondering just how much cashing I'd have to do to keep playing.
Tournament players suffer droughts. Even the best players will go cashless over a period of time. It's just the nature of the beast. When you're really not very good, those droughts last longer - and since I don't have enough in my account to buy in directly to even half of the events, I would need to cash early and often if I wanted to play 'em all.
It's a problem. But then again it's been a problem for years.
I suppose that satellites are an option. Sort of. You can satellite into the Big Game and the MATH, but there isn't any way - actually, scratch that, I remember reading something about Full Tilt instituting T$, which might work - to satellite into the Skillzzzz, Mookie or Riverchasers since they have odd buy ins.
I guess I better go read up on how exactly the new T$ system works, because that has the potential to significantly reduce the cost of playing the BBTree series ... at least if I can learn to fold QQ in the face of three all-ins.
Sometime between now and Sunday I need to decide a plan of attack. Obviously I will play at least some events for the social aspect and the enjoyment of laying sick beats on my invisible internet pals. I will not play exclusively or primarily for the awesome rewards - for one thing, I probably will never play the main event at the WSOP, not only because I suck but also because it would be an absolute nightmare with work. I could see playing in one of the other events - I would probably pick event #19 (PLO) or one of the many $1500 NLHE options. I've come agonizingly close before. I just don't know that I can make the commitment - bankroll wise or sleep deficit wise - to playing enough tournaments to be a contender.
Somewhere along the way I'd like to pick up a $75 token, because on my roll (LOL) that's a pretty stiff buyin.
Say, do you suppose it was a coincidence that FT sent out an email today touting the availability of e-check deposits?
