It's Been A While

Hell, I'm not even sure how many people check this anymore. I know Nikki has it in her RSS feed so she'll see this. If there's anyone else out there still checking in - Thanks!

A couple weeks ago I started doing a thing online called the Monopoly Challenge. Here's what the board looks like:



Basically the goal is to make it around the board - building your bankroll as you go. You start with a $100 bankroll so you have to play the $5.50 HU SNGs until your roll is $112.50 - then you move onto the next square. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Well let me say that it took me freaking FOREVER to make it past the first square. 66 frakkin' SNGs later I finally made it!

As I type this I'm playing square two - a $5.50 MTT on my own dime. This one happens to be a Pot Limit Hold'em game. I currently am chip leader with 7 players left. Go me! LOL

In other Robbie Robb poker news, I played in the Pokerstars WSOP Freeroll last night. The top 3 places all get a $12,500 WSOP Main Event prize package. 3048 players started the tourney and at one point midway through I was sitting in 3rd. Unfortunately I had a couple bad hands and ended up busting out 78th. So no $12K for me but I was still quite happy with my play.

During the course of my Monopoly Challenge I'll do my best to keep this updated with the current status.
