Ranked 61st now, I expect to break into the top 50 next week :)
This is from this week's ranking update article from p5:
"Intervention has been mentioned often in this update recently, and he continues his climb, moving up 15 spots this week to number 61. His run of final tables continued, including 5 more this past week, the best of which were two final tables in the PokerStars $100 rebuys."

Will be playing a bunch of tournies tonight...will be doing a long post on mnth end thoughts and goals for the next 6 weeks.
Its almost time....

Kinda frustrated

Tilted few tournies here and there....made a final table but not even worth mentioning the details.
Good line up for the night, poker cyborg mode on at 8pm :)

No Deal

I was offered a backing deal and after much negotiation the final terms of the deal were- Complete backing for both live and online poker (this includes all wsop events adding up to almost 40k+) at 40-60 with upgrade after a month to 50-50 with make up throughout, with me having the option to quit if I am in green after 8 months or buying out my make up at that point. 8 months is a long commitment, I am not good with commitments, hvnt had one in a long time, this had me nervous and scared. The other thing was I wud be playing for 50% of my online action for the next 8mnths, I am kind of person who doesn't even look at 2nd price in most tourneys I play....being backed, that Cherry on top wud be much smaller, that really kills my motivation. Thirdly I won the 150 FO at FT last night (well chopped it) for 14.6k, this gets me borderline comfortable for wsop, in a sense I can afford it. So in the end after much deliberation and discussion I rejected the deal....50% was far too much for such a big winner online like me to part with. I do appreciate the 2 phenoms who offered me this deal and will be open to future offers....one of the reason why I wanted to take the deal was, that these 2 players are truly good people and legends in online poker and there was much I could learn from then....hopefully I hv made the right decsion.

Like I said earlier I took down the 150 at FT but overall I did good in other tournies I played as well. Cashed in 100r (made a donk resteal), 150 FO at PS (missed a royal str8 flush draw) and as u guys must hv seen lost a sick pot in the 1k. But for the 1k I had 500$ Lastlonger with 7 other people(all of them online phenoms), which suprisingly despite coming 75th in the relatively small field I won, so that was another 3500$ there.
All in all a good after a quite a while...

Big offer...

Yesterday was horrible, for a change I played a very patient game for the most part in the big majors. It was just a combination of bad timings and coolers that got me knocked out in most tournies. I was playing my A+ game in the 100r in the afternoon and 2nd chance and million...but I just kept getting coolered. It was expensive as most Sundays are-6k. There is one Saunday left before I head to Vegas for the wsop and I can just pray that I dont hv another one of those Saundays again, come to think of it I am actually stuck around 20k in sunday buyins this mnth (yikes!!).
There is some good news, I hv been offered a life changing deal, I am pondering whethere to take it or not...its a 1 yr deal and its really really tough. Far too close for me to decide. Ahhh, will hv to soon though.
There are some non poker things bugging me as well....hopefully they are all setlled.

SOmething I want to talk about..

Here I am sitting playing 6 of the biggest tournaments on today and realise that I am not thinking about the game (its all automatic for most part...I am a well trainded machine) but instead I am thinking about something else....crap the 7th table opened, will continue later..
