    Thumbs up FTOPS Event #8

    This is the $256 NLHE KO event running this Sunday, beginning at 14:00 Server Time. I finally managed to grow my bankroll enough to play at this level, so I plan to make this my first attempt in a major online event.

    Anyone else planning to play in this event?

    Haha After that challenge I might have to step up and play this! Hopefully we'll be heads up for the money, so I can have another shot after our vicious heads up battle in the bellybuster's league.

    I played a $10 rebuy satellite into event #9 ($300 +22 NLHE) that takes place Sunday at 3 and had to unregister and just hang on to the tournament dollars because I have to work. The nice part though is that I only bought in one time.......no rebuys, no add ons.......just sailed through it. I guess I better enjoy the great run while it lasts Although live, I am not faring so well. I'm going deep but not getting to the end.

    I will probably try to find at least one FTOPS to try out.

    Thumbs down

    We are officially underway!

    Looks like a total of 3,499 players including six BadBeaters. That doesn't really seem fair to the other 3,493 now does it?

    -----Added 9 Nov 2008 at 02:32:33-----

    I didn't have his window up yet to see what happened, but Dr Fill Good is out in 3,331st place.

    Still five of us remaining. 9ftNinja and I are off to very strong starts.

    JUMP PUTT out in 922nd place.

    9ftNinja and I are both close to the average stack, with just under 900 players remaining.

    -----Added 9 Nov 2008 at 05:46:55-----

    Chipless Wonder out in 548th place.

    In retrospect, I am satisfied with how I played, and I did get my money in as the favorite.

    9ftNinja still alive and kicking.

    -----Added 9 Nov 2008 at 06:02:53-----

    The bubble is approaching, and 9ftNinja has more than double the average chip stack.
