ok. I still owe a trip report for my Vegas visit but I have other important news to share first...
I am going to play in the Main Event. I have already talked it over with my wife and she agrees to go for it. I will probably get a solid staking package going in about 2-3 months for anybody who is interested. I also plan on starting a thread here to discuss my planning and strategy. All comments will be welcome.
So one of the things I wanted to do to prepare was to start mixing in some online MTTs (I usually only play 1 table SNGs since it's hard for me to play longer 3 hours at a time). So I don't have the time for normal speed tourneys. Instead I decided to start playing turbo speed MTTs while I stack the profitable DoNs in the corner. Well.. I am off to a good start.
The night after returning from Vegas I took first out of 492 in the $11 Merge $2.5K Guarantee. I wrote about that in my last blog update-> http://vookenmeister.blogspot.com/2013/01/won-my-first-large-field-mtt-1k.html
Then tonight I played a couple more MTTs while I was grinding DoNS. After busting out of the $33 Merge nightly turbo MTT, I decided to late reg for the $60 mtt that was already running. Well, I ended up winning that also for a nice score of a little over $1500 profit.
I got much luckier in this event as halfway thru I tripled up when my A2 > A9. I also managed to crack Aces three handed at the final table after getting my money in behind (would've meant 3rd place and only $600).
Here is a pic of the winning tourney lobby... Probably won't sleep much tonight!!! Still excited since I don't play these tourneys very often.

Congrats on what will hopefully become a MoJo like run in the tourneys and looking forward to future discussion of Main Event staking so that I can live vicariously through you!
