Good progress made on the WSOP quest this weekend - Saturday afternoon I played in 2 step 3 SnGs, and advanced to Step 4 in both tourneys. Yesterday afternoon, I took 2 of my Step 4 tourneys, and was able to advance to Step 5 in both of them. Now, I have 2 Step 5s and 2 Step 4 tickets to play with...only 6 levels to go!
On an even brighter note, I took first place in a private $5 + 0.50 tourney last night. $58 was rather sweet to add to the account - really played some good poker over the weekend, obviously.
Guess this means I will be busting out in the 2nd level tonight at Dino's....meh!

Just a little poker experiment I'm playing with...
So I decided last weekend that I would try to see how far I could get in trying to qualify for the WSOP on Absolute Poker for as cheap as possible...so far, so good.
I have started 3 Step 1's (I want to be able to have multiple tickets in play for this) at the Ultra-Turbo level - So far I have made it up to 2 Step 4 tickets, while losing another one at the Step 3 level. Since Step 3 is only $1 to play, I'll restart any new quests at this level.
Yup, the uber-aggressive donks are out here, so even in this format it's alright to bide your time and be patient...although the Ultra-Turbo format won't allow you to be too patient, either. So far, the strategy has been pretty simple: Splash around in lots of pots early on with marginal hands, but don't go crazy bluffing your chips away, either. Ramp up the aggression as you get to final 5 (3rd and 4th get ticket to same Step currently playing, 1st and 2nd go onto to next Step), and push, push, push, when down to final 3.
7 more to go to get to Vegas - oy!
