Ladbrokes European Ladies Championship

Topic: Poker

I'm so excited right now...I've been playing the $5 satellites to get into the weekly final on and off for about a month now.  Today, I won a seat to the daily final and a poker friend (and fellow cat) and I won a seat to the weekly finals which is worth $270....the winner of that will be given a $2500 package into the European Ladies Championship in London in May.  I'm so excited to play on Monday night now!!!  What a great feeling!! I'm playing pretty good poker and quite proud of myself right now!!! Also, I've met Jen Mason on there who was my favorite player in last years ELC and she's so sweet.  She has also joined my forum and I'm honored to have her as one of my first members!!!  Life is great right now!!!  See ya everyone!!  

Piranha Program at Badbeat.com
Mood:  vegas lucky

Hi all.....I'm on the Piranha program (which is a $50/day program) at Badbeat.com and am playing poker on Grandslam poker building a bankroll with someone else's money.  As of yesterday I've made a profit of $125 in my first 9 days of playing.  The goal is $250 or more for the first 30 days.  If I'm successful, at the end of the month I will get 50% of my profit and be promoted to a Badbeat Trainer at a $200/day program they have.

You have to either play 3000 hands a week equalling 40 table hours or 50 sit n gos.  I'm mostly playing sit n gos.  My profit was $68.67 for week one and i only played 47 sit n gos because my internet went down on Sunday and I didn't get it back until Monday.  Also, in my first two days this week i'm in profit as well...made $24.07 on monday and over $33 last night...I'm well on my way to that $250 :)  I'll keep this updated on how I'm doing.  Thanks out to all my poker friends who have been supporting me on this.

 Hi Poker friends!!!  I'm in the works of creating a Battle of the Sexes Poker League and will be emailing Poker Stars today about it.  I hope to start it after the Cats Vs. Hounds League is over probably on Sundays at 9 p.m. GMT or 4 p.m. EST for my U.S. players!!  The format will be 10 men's only and 10 women's only sit n gos running at the same time and night. 

The scoring system will be: 

 1st - 15 pts.

2nd - 12 pts

3rd -  10 pts

4th - 8 pts

5th- 6 pts

6th - 5 pts

7th - 4 pts

8th - 3 pts

9th - 2 pts

10th - 1 pt.

 

The top 5 point scorers for both the women and men's games will play a final table after the 10 games are over.  Hopefully I can get some added money from Poker Stars or at least some swag (i.e. shirts, hats etc).  I can't wait to get this started because a lot of you out there have shown interest at my different forums I'm polling.

I'll be advertising this here, myspace, facebook and all my other sites!!!! lol

Happy Poker Playing for all of my poker playing friends!!!

Hi all!! Well I played in my first Blogger Poker Tour event and went out 99th...not very good. Well, I'll put it this way I was trying to get off the computer because my husband's oldest son from his first marriage was here and they wanted on the computer...simple as that. So, I didn't play as well as I could. Sorry about that Mike...I'll do better next round :) I know you'll be at the grand champions table and I hope to watch you win a place to the Aussie Millions!!!!

I haven't done too well in the last few days but I'm sure I'll come back.

Tomorrow is the big move date into our new house I can't wait!!! Finally, I know we'll be safe in a new house and we have paid 6 months in advance plus the month and a half deposit!!! Thank you tax benefits for coming just in time and thanks to all the people at my church for praying for us!! God Bless you!!!

I don't have anymore news really so I guess I should go pack some more!!!

Bye,

Carey
